North Carolina
The Nonpoint Source Management Program
The Program seeks to restore and protect waters of the State whose uses are impaired or potentially impaired by nonpoint source pollution through reduction of the harmful effects of land uses on surface and ground water. This is accomplished through the coordinated efforts of several nonpoint source agencies, local governments, and other stakeholders within North Carolina.
Since the Program began in 1989, the State has been awarded more than $60,000,000 through Section 319 of the Clean Water Act.The grant awards are supplemented by a 40% nonfederal match from the State.
