Abstract: This report assesses state-based nonpoint source water pollution regulation and recommends policies to protect water quality. Nonpoint source pollution, generally speaking, refers to polluted runoff. It is called "nonpoint" pollution because the pollution discharge rules of the Clean Water Act apply only to "point sources" - nonpoint pollution therefore describes runoff pollution that is not directly regulated by the federal Clean Water Act. Part one of the report examines seven existing state programs (from California, Delaware, Iowa, Kentucky, Oregon, Maryland, and Wisconsin) that comprehensively address agricultural nonpoint pollution at the farm level. Part two focuses on five individual agricultural management practices.
