The focus of this workshop is to ensure participants understand current issues and advancements in the national NPS Program and evolving national, regional, and local NPS pollution concerns. The workshop will foster coordination among NPS program practitioners and partners by bringing together state, Tribal, Nation, territorial, federal, and other interested stakeholders involved with program activities under section 319 of the CWA. The event will also provide technical training on NPS management practices, emerging tools, best practices for tracking and accounting for NPS pollution, and strategies for implementation of NPS tracking and management into watershed-informed drinking source water protection plans.
The workshop is funded under a cooperative agreement with NEIWPCC from the U.S. EPA’s NPS Management Branch.
