This
website features waterbodies identified as being primarily nonpoint
source-impaired and having achieved documented water quality improvements. Projects
described here have received funding from EPA section 319, and in many
cases, other funding sources dedicated to solving nonpoint source
impairments. Water quality improvements are demonstrated through the
achievement of water quality standards for one or more pollutants/uses (i.e.
removal from Tennessee's section 303(d) list of impaired waters); measured
in-stream reduction in a pollutant; or measured improvement in a parameter
that indicates stream health (e.g., increases in fish or macroinvertebrate
counts). These stories also describe innovative strategies used to reduce
nonpoint source pollution, the growth of partnerships and a diversity of
funding sources. |
