Non-Point Source Protection
Non-Point Source Pollution is considered anything that can accumulate on the land and be picked up by rainfall or snowmelt and run off into nearby waterways (surface and groundwater). The origin of the source of non-point pollution is hard to pinpoint compared to point source pollution, which is easy to find such as an effluent pipe discharging pollution directly into a stream.
