Kentucky

The Nonpoint Source Management Program

The Program seeks to protect the quality of Kentucky's surface and groundwater from nonpoint source pollutants and restore degraded waters to the extent that water quality standards are met and beneficial uses supported. These goals are achieved through federal, state, local and private partnerships which promote complementary, regulatory and non-regulatory nonpoint source pollution control initiatives at both statewide and watershed levels.

Since 1990, Kentucky has been awarded more than $42,000,000 in Nonpoint Source Pollution grant funds through Section 319 of the Clean Water Act. The grant awards are supplemented by a 40% nonfederal match form the State.
