The Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program
Purpose
The Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program, which falls under Section 6217 of the Coastal
Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments (CZARA), is jointly administered by NOAA and the EPA.
The Program is unique in that it establishes a set of management measures for states to use
in controlling polluted runoff. The measures are designed to control runoff from six main
sources: forestry, agriculture, urban areas, marinas, hydromodification (shoreline and
stream channel modification), and wetlands and vegetated shorelines, or riparian
areas. These measures are backed by enforceable state policies and actions—state
authorities that will ensure implementation of the program. All coastal and Great
Lakes states and territories, which participate in the Coastal Zone Management
Program are required to develop coastal nonpoint pollution control programs.
