  1. Indiana’s Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program Coastal Advisory Board Meeting April 18, 2007

  2. Nonpoint Source Pollution Nonpoint source pollution is generated as rain or snow melt moves over the landscape picking up pollutants from various land use practices.

  3. Watersheds A watershed is the area of land that drains into a particular body of water (ex. lake, stream, or wetland). We all live in a watershed.

  4. So what is the 6217 Program? • Addresses water quality and habitat impairments of our coastal waters. • Identifies the programs and authorities used by the state to control nonpoint source pollution. • Strengthens the links between existing state and federal programs to enhance efforts. …Besides 6217 being a good idea, it’s also a required component for state coastal programs.
