DEP's Nonpoint Source Pollution Management Program (NPSM) is committed to educating the public about and helping to prevent nonpoint pollution, which can affect water quality. Nonpoint source pollution is the result of runoff from stormwater picking up and carrying natural and human-made pollutants from diffuse sources and depositing them into lakes, rivers, springs, wetlands, coastal waters and ground water.
