Tennessee
The Nonpoint Source Management Program
The State Program is designed to measurably reduce nonpoint source pollution and thus improve water quality. The Program also seeks to strengthen and expand partnerships, and increase the water resources stewardship of Tennessee's citizens.
Since the Program was initiated in 1989, the State has received more than $45,000,000 in grant funding through Section 319 of the Clean Water Act. The grant awards are supplemented by a 40% nonfederal match from the State.
