What is the Delaware Nonpoint Source Program?
Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is defined as any pollution that originates from a diffuse source (like an open field or a road) and is transported to surface or ground waters through leaching or runoff. The Delaware Nonpoint Source Program addresses nonpoint source pollution through educational programs, publications, and partnerships with other Delaware organizations. The Delaware NPS Program also administers a competitive grant made possible through Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, providing funding for projects designed to reduce NPS pollution.
