Nonpoint Source Program
Established by Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, requires States and U.S. territories to identify navigable waters that cannot attain water quality standards without reducing nonpoint source pollution and develop management plans to reduce nonpoint source pollution; Section 319 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) [Public Law 100‐4, February 4, 1987] directed the Governor of each state to prepare and submit a Nonpoint Source Assessment Report and Nonpoint Source Management Plan for reduction and control of pollution from nonpoint sources to navigable waters in the State; Louisiana Revised Statute 30:2011, signed by the Governor in 1987 as Act 272, instructed Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, designated at the Lead Agency for the state’s Nonpoint Source Program, to develop and implement a NPS Management Program. The NPS Management Program is to be developed in coordination with appropriate state agencies, including, but not limited to, the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, and the State Soil and Water Conservation Committee in those areas pertaining to their respective jurisdictions (La.R.S. 30:20).
