Abstract
PAG Report 5 | Published February 1991 | The framework of laws and regulations that affect water quality was analyzed, with an emphasis on nonpoint sources of surface water pollution. Agency responsibilities for program implementation were determined; 196 full-time equivalent state agency personnel are involved in water quality programs. The policy design is adequate, with little or no duplication of effort due to carefully designed agency assignments and interagency cooperative agreements. A list of 34 unresolved policy issues represents an agenda for action.
