Abstract
Recognizing the growing problem of NPS pollution, in 1987, Congress added nonpoint source provisions to the Clean Water Act (CWA) under Section 319. Among other provisions, Section 319 requires each state to develop and maintain a Nonpoint Source Management Program to comprehensively address nonpoint sources of pollution. Contingent on EPA’s approval of the State’s NPS Management Plan, Section 319 also provides grants to states for implementing NPS best management practices (BMPs). The Nonpoint Source Management Plan has been prepared in accordance with Federal and State regulations and was originally approved by EPA in 1990. The current plan (2020-2024) reflects improvements and additions to many of South Carolina’s NPS management program activities and a refocus of program goal.
