We are pleased to announce the 31st Annual Nonpoint Source Conference will be held virtually on May 20, 25, & 27, 2021.

Since 1990, NEIWPCC, in partnership with its member states, has been coordinating the Annual Nonpoint Source (NPS) Pollution Conference, the premier forum in the northeast for sharing information and improving communication on NPS pollution issues and projects.

A Virtual Watershed Moment

Faced with apparent obstacles to in-person meetings, our drive to collaborate and share has not wavered. While we will miss seeing you all in-person, the safety of the NPS community is paramount. As we have for 30 years, we will continue to provide the NPS community with an engaging forum for networking, demonstration, and coordination.
