Clean Water Act (CWA), Section 319 A federal grant program added by Congress to the CWA in 1987 and managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Section 319 is specifically designed to develop and implement state Nonpoint Source (NPS) Pollution management programs, and to maximize the focus of such programs on a watershed or waterbasin basis with each state. Today, all 50 states and U.S. territories receive Section 319 grand funds and are encouraged to use the funding to conduct nonpoint source assessments and revise and strengthen their nonpoint source management programs. Before a grant is provided under Section 319, states are required to: (1) complete a Nonpoint Source (NPS) Assessment Report identifying state waters that require nonpoint source control and their pollution sources, and (2) develop Nonpoint Source Management Programs that outline four-year strategies to address these identified sources.
