Nonpoint Plan Tribal Survey

The Department of Ecology's Water Quality Management Plan to Control Nonpoint Sources of Pollution, or Nonpoint Plan, outlines Washington's strategy for addressing nonpoint pollution. Nonpoint pollution remains a top water quality concern throughout the state and can come from many different places, such as runoff from streets, lawns, and agriculture land or when lack of streamside trees contributes to high water temperatures. Ecology's Nonpoint Program provides technical and financial assistance, collaborates with landowners and local partners, and uses our enforcement authority when necessary to address sources of nonpoint pollution.


We update the Nonpoint Plan every five years and are currently working on the 2025 update. While Ecology is responsible for the Plan, it covers statewide efforts and partnerships guide and coordinate pollution management throughout the state. We recognize and appreciate the efforts of Tribes, local partners, individuals, and landowners who work to meet state water quality standards.


Feedback received from this survey will help us better understand your priorities, efforts, and challenges and will inform our plan’s update and ongoing program improvements.
