Nonpoint source pollution is caused by rainfall or snow melt moving over and through the ground. As the runoff moves, it picks up and carries away natural and human-made pollutants, finally depositing them into lakes, rivers, wetlands and groundwater.
We promote partnerships that will actively engage communities in the restoration and protection of waters impacted by nonpoint source pollution.
The pages below contain supporting information to help you plan for and manage your project in partnership with our group.
