You can take steps to control and prevent nonpoint source pollution from entering our waterways. These measures are usually cost saving in the short term and always cost saving in the long-term. From homeowners to business owners, farmers and rural landowners, every action taken to stop NPS pollution counts.

Controlling NPS also is about stepping out of your own backyard and into your community. From educating others to participating in local land-use decisions, and volunteering in clean-ups and stream monitoring programs, preventing NPS pollution is about getting involved.
