- California Nonpoint
Source Encyclopedia
The NPS Encyclopedia is a condensed quick-reference guide that provides
an entry point to information on nonpoint source manage- ment practices
in California. It includes a brief discussion of the main elements and intent
of the 61 nonpoint source management measures for each of the six nonpoint
source categories (agriculture; forestry; urban areas; marinas and recreational
boating; hydromodi- fication; and wetlands, riparian areas, and vegetated
treatment systems). The NPS Encyclopedia also includes descriptions of management
practices and how they can be used to meet each management measure, as well
as their applicability to various situations in California and their cost-effectiveness
in different climatic and land use settings.

Nonpoint Source Management Program
The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection has worked to develop
programs, technologies and legislation with both local and national significance
that are protective of water resources, and is currently leading a national
pilot program to monitor nonpoint source pollution at residential development
sites. The DEP has developed the Enhanced State Nonpoint Source Management
Program, consistent with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA)
guidance.

Jersey Bureau of Nonpoint Pollution Control
In the past, industries with permitted stormwater discharges in New Jersey
had to meet numeric effluent limitations as the sole means to control pollutant
discharges. This typically included effluent monitoring and reporting, and
often treatment of the stormwater prior to discharge. New Jersey's stormwater
permitting program now relies primarily on pollution prevention through
the development, implementation, and maintenance of Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plans.

Carolina Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC)
has implemented a Watershed Water Quality Management Strategy in order to
more efficiently protect and improve the quality of South Carolina's surface
water resources. This management strategy recognizes the interdependence
of water quality and all the activities that occur in the associated drainage
basin. Under the watershed management approach monitoring, assessment, problem
identification and prioritization, water quality modeling, planning, permitting
and other SCDHEC initiatives are coordinated by basin.

Nonpoint Source Pollution Information
Washington has been a leader in addressing NPS pollution for many years.
The state already has many tools to achieve cleaner water through nonpoint
source management. Some are regulatory while the majority are voluntary
programs. Watershed efforts have addressed problems in most parts of the
state. This site showcases numerous examples of innovative approaches to
management and funding.
