Nonpoint Plan Conservation District Survey
The Department of Ecology's Water Quality Management Plan to Control Nonpoint Sources of Pollution, or Nonpoint Plan,outlines Washington's strategy for addressing nonpoint pollution. Nonpoint pollution remains a top water quality concern throughout the state and Ecology'sNonpoint Program provides technical and financial assistance, collaborates with landowners and local partners, and uses our enforcement authority when necessary to address sources of nonpoint pollution.
We update the Nonpoint Plan every five years and are currently working on the 2025 update. While the Nonpoint Plan is federally required and the responsibility of the Dept. of Ecology to maintain, it covers statewide strategies and partnerships that guide pollution management throughout the state. We recognize and appreciate the efforts of local partners, Tribes, and landowners who work to meet state water quality standards. Conservation districts in particular are a critical partner for Ecology.
Feedback received from this survey will help us better understand your priorities, efforts, and challenges and will inform our Plan’s update and ongoing program improvements.
Interested in another opportunity to share feedback that can help inform the development of the remaining Voluntary Clean Water Guidance for Agriculture chapters?
After completing the Nonpoint Plan survey, fill out our agricultural practices survey to provide information about factors and considerations associated with best management practice implementation, such as challenges and barriers, costs, and operation and maintenance requirements. Information from this survey will help us develop implementation guidance for practices included within the Voluntary Clean Water Guidance and will also be used to inform Ecology's funding programs that help with practice implementation. We're looking for information about practices such as crop systems, nutrient management, soil stabilization capture, irrigation management, subsurface water management, and manure storage and lagoons. Thank you for your feedback on these surveys to help inform our work.
