The mission of the NonPoint Source Water Pollution Control Program is to protect water resources and public health from nonpoint sources of pollution. We accomplish this by:

• Preventing stormwater pollution of water bodies by approving construction site plans.
• Ensuring wetland fills do not adversely affect water quality.
• Reviewing timber harvest plans and performing related field inspections for forestry operations.
• Reviewing construction plans and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans for storm water discharges from industrial and construction sites.
• Identifying State water quality priorities and needs
• Establishing a schedule for developing recovery plans on impaired water bodies.
• Providing pass-through funding and technical assistance to municipalities, local groups, and other state agencies involved in water quality projects.
