Nonpoint Source Program Five Year Plan

The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) is seeking public input on the draft 2025-2030 Nonpoint Source Management Five Year Plan, which outlines the strategies for reducing pollution and improving water quality across the state. 


This plan, required by the federal Clean Water Act, outlines ADEQ’s strategies to reduce nonpoint source pollution – the kind that comes from diffuse sources like water runoff over land and abandoned mines. ADEQ’s goal is to protect and enhance Arizona’s rivers, lakes, and streams for people, wildlife, and future generations. 


The 30-day public comment period is now open, and ADEQ invites you to share your thoughts. Your feedback will help shape how ADEQ focuses resources and partnerships to make the biggest impact.
