(Appendix A). In January , a meeting of regional experts on agricultural nonpoint source pollution control was held in Castries, St. Lucia. Section 6 is a summary of the experts meeting. The purpose of this document is to describe BMPs for the cost-effective control of agricultural nonpoint source pollution from crop and livestock production. Pg. 2/3 - Non-point source (NPS) pollution occurs when pollutants from many different and often difficult to track sources have a negative impact on air or water quality. Even though this type of pollution accounts for a substantial amount of water pollution.

OCTOBER The three-tiered approach to nonpoint source pollution control was officially set aside on , when the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) approved the Policy for the Implementation and Enforcement of the Nonpoint Source (NPS) Pollution Control Program.

Control of Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution by Natural Wetland Management 65 Time series for flow through the tributary slough pipe and water surface elevations in the wetland cell and adjacent river, lake cell and tributary slough were constructed using interpolation and subsampling to obtain time series with a frequency of day Nonpoint sources of pollution, primarily from agricultural sources, are a major cause of water quality impairment. Yet policies to address this issue remain underexplored in the literature. This article first reviews the agricultural nonpoint source (NPS) pollution policy literature and categorizes its major by:

This study of policies for controlling water pollution from nonpoint agricultural sources includes a survey of existing state and Federal programs, agencies, and laws directed to the control of soil erosion. Six policies representing a variety of approaches to this pollution problem are analyzed.
The aggregate economic impact of such policies is investigated using. Alternative policies for controlling nonpoint agricultural sources of water pollution. Athens, Ga.: Environmental Research Laboratory. Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, The objective of the project was to examine alternative policies for the control of agricultural nonpoint sources of water pollution.
The research, carried out during the one-year period by an interdisciplinary team of scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, was administered and coordinated by the university's Institute.
The increasing problem of agricultural nonpoint source pollution requires complex solutions.

The limited success of command-and-control policies for reducing nonpoint source (NPS) water pollution mandated under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) has prompted increased interest. The National Water Quality Assessment shows that agricultural nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is the leading source of water quality impacts on surveyed rivers and streams, the third largest source for lakes, the second largest source of impairments to wetlands, and a major contributor to contamination of surveyed estuaries and ground water.
Implementation and Enforcement of the Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program (NPS Implementation and Enforcement Policy), explains how the NPS Program Plan will be implemented and enforced and, in so doing, fulfills the requirements of California Water Code (CWC) section (a)(2)(B).

[Vol. CONTROLLING NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION mented.7 The contribution of nonpoint sources to water pollution is sub- stantial.8 Nonpoint sources are responsible for 65% to 75% of the pollution in the 25% of the waters that remain degraded under state water quality standards.9 Nonpoint sources contribute 45% of the pollu- tion to estuaries, 76% of the pollution to lakes, and 65% of the pollution.

Whether you live in a big city or in the country, you can prevent nonpoint source pollution by taking simple actions on your property or in your community. 1. Theoretical Background and Rationale. NPS emissions account for a substantial amount of water pollution in Canada and a uniform national program cannot address such diverse non-point sources as agricultural runoff, urban street runoff, and activities related to land clearance and building construction, as they significantly differ in marginal abatement costs.
1 Despite this, in ,Congress made a conscious decision to leave regulation of nonpoint source pollution to the states when it comprehensively amended the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.2 The result has been a de facto fifty-state experiment in regulation—or, often, non-regulation—of this type of water pollution, with different states pursuing (or not pursuing).
National Management Measures to Control Nonpoint Pollution from Agriculture 3 Management Practices Management practices are implemented on agricultural lands for a variety of purposes, including protecting water resources, protecting terrestrial or aquatic wildlife habitat, and protecting the land resource from degradation by wind, salt.
Downloadable! The limited success of command-and-control policies for reducing nonpoint source (NPS) water pollution mandated under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) has prompted increased interest in economic incentive policies as an alternative control mechanism.
No single policy, however, is likely to be effective in reducing all NPS by: needed for "nonpoint sources" (pollution from ill defined and diffuse sources) control programs.
In some parts of the country, ground water and surface water quality objectives cannot be met without further reduction in nonpoint sources of pollution.
Effective control programs for point sources have been developed based on treatment and. Nonpoint Source (NPS) pollution does not originate from regulated point sources and comes from many diffuse sources.
NPS pollution occurs when rainfall flows off the land, roads, buildings, and other features of the landscape. This diffuse runoff carries pollutants into drainage ditches, lakes, rivers, wetlands, bays, and aquifers.
