Water Quality
Conservation districts are the local contact for the control of nonpoint
source (NPS) pollution. Districts conduct projects which demonstrate NPS pollution control
practices, preferring voluntary, educational, and incentive-based approaches over
regulatory approaches. Additionally, district boards work with state and federal
regulatory agencies (for the most part, the Montana Department of Environmental Quality
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) to identify problem areas and prioritize
treatment. Recently, the manner in which these problems are addressed has become the
development of Total Maximum Daily
Loads for impaired streams in Montana.
