Specifically identify primary pollution sources. Targeting BMPs Specify SMPs that are tailored to the site. Obtain funding from appropriate agencies. Use model to track BMP effectiveness. Set limits for new dichargers.
Riparian buffers Determine the potential effectiveness of buffers on a site-specific basis.
Specify design criteria for riparian buffers. Obtain funding from appropriate agencies. Riparian Buffers Riparian buffers may be another requirement under the URW program. Riparian buffer systems are streamside ecosystems that are managed for the protection of water quality. By maintaining the stream environment, buffers control nonpoint source pollution.
