Utah Nonpoint Source Management Program

Utah’s Nonpoint Source (NPS) Management program is focused on improving the water quality of impaired waterbodies through a voluntary and incentive-based approach. The Utah Division of Water Quality (DWQ) provides state and federal funding to reduce NPS pollution in priority watersheds throughout the state. These projects use Best Management Practices (BMPs) and follow the watershed-based planning strategy detailed in the Statewide NPS Management Plan and appendices.
