California 2005 Nonpoint Source (NPS) Conference
The California State Water Resources Control Board, the California Regional
Water Quality Control Boards, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
invite you to participate in the 2005 California Nonpoint Source (NPS) Conference. This event will highlight specific projects and practices being used to successfully address the leading cause of water quality impairments in California—nonpoint source pollution.
The theme for this year's conference is "Measuring Water Quality Improvements." The conference
will focus on the importance of designing projects to achieve measurable water quality improvements and on techniques for monitoring results. The event will offer an opportunity to examine and learn from the numerous NPS pollution
control projects that have been spported by state and federal funds, especially Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 319 and Bond Propositions 13, 40 and 50. It will promote technology transfer by examining on-the-ground examples related to agriculture, forestry, urban development, marinas and boating, hydromodification and habitat alteration, abandoned mines and other land use activities that affect water quality. The 2005 conference will include plenary sessions, concurrent sessions, a poster reception, a field trip, training workshops and plenty of networking opportunities.
