Mississippi

The Nonpoint Source Management Program

The Program, dedicated to protecting and restoring Mississippi's water resources, supports a variety of technical assistance, environmental education and training, technology transfer, demonstration and monitoring projects, and wetland restoration.

Financial assistance is provided to other state agencies, local governments, universities, and non-profit organizations to implement nonpoint source projects through the Clean Water Act's Section 319 Grant. Since 1990 the State has been awarded more that $46,000,000 to carry out the Program's mission to conserve and improve State waters. The grant awards are supplemented by a 40% nonfederal match form the State.
