About
THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY'S (EPA) NATIONAL ESTUARY PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED BY CONGRESS IN 1987 TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF ESTUARIES OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE. THE CLEAN WATER ACT SECTION 320 DIRECTS EPA TO DEVELOP PLANS FOR ATTAINING AND MAINTAINING WATER QUALITY IN AN ESTUARY. THIS INCLUDES PROTECTION OF PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIES AND PROTECTION AND PROPAGATION OF A BALANCED INDIGENOUS POPULATION OF SHELLFISH, FISH, AND WILDLIFE THAT ALLOWS RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, IN AND ON WATER, REQUIRES THAT CONTROL OF POINT AND NONPOINT SOURCES OF POLLUTION TO SUPPLEMENT EXISTING CONTROLS OF POLLUTION. IN SEVERAL CASES, MORE THAN ONE STATE IS PARTICIPATING IN A NATIONAL ESTUARY PROGRAM. EACH PROGRAM ESTABLISHES A COMPREHENSIVE CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN TO MEET THE GOALS OF SECTION 320.
