THE PLAN FOR CALIFORNIA'S NONPOINT SOURCE
POLLUTION CONTROL PROGRAM
(NPS Program Plan)


The purpose of the NPS Program Plan is to improve the State's ability to effectively manage NPS pollution and conform to the requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act and the Federal Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments of 1990. These documents were developed by staff of the State Water Resources Control Board's Division of Water Quality and the California Coastal Commission (CCC), in coordination with the Regional Water Quality Control Boards and staff from over twenty other State agencies.

The documents were submitted for final federal approval on February 4, 2000, to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). A letter granting full approval of the NPS Program Plan was signed on July 17, 2000. The USEPA/NOAA Approval Letter, Decisions on Conditions of Approval (CZARA), and Response to Comments are available on the EPA web site at http://www.epa.gov/region09/water/nonpoint/cal/.
