Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment	Colorado	The Colorado Water Quality Control Commission is the administrative agency responsible for developing specific state water quality policies, in a manner that implements the broader policies set forth by the Legislature in the Colorado Water Quality Control Act. The Commission adopts water quality classifications and standards for surface and ground waters of the state, as well as various regulations aimed at achieving compliance with those classifications and standards. The Commission encourages the broadest possible public involvement in its rulemaking hearings--where water quality standards and other regulations are formally adopted--and in informal informational hearings on a variety of topics. The Commission meets the second Monday (and Tuesday, if necessary) of the month to develop and maintain comprehensive programs for the prevention, control and abatement of water pollution and for the protection of water quality in the state. The Commission's nine members are appointed by the Governor for three year terms and confirmed by the Colorado Senate. Appointments are to "achieve geographical representation" and "reflect the various interests in water in the state." At least two members are to be from west of the Continental Divide. Mission Statement: To develop and maintain a comprehensive and effective program for the protection of Colorado surface and ground water quality, through an open process that fully involves the public.
Delaware Nonpoint Source Program	Delaware	The Delaware Nonpoint Source Program administers a competitive grant made possible through Section 319 of the Clean Water Act. The grant provides funding for projects designed to reduce nonpoint source (NPS) pollution in Delaware. NPS pollution may be defined as any pollution that originates from a diffuse source (such as an open field or a road) and is transported to surface or ground waters through leaching or runoff. Reduction of NPS pollution may often be achieved through incorporation of specific best management practices (BMPs) into project workplans. Projects may target any source of NPS pollution, but most frequently involve agriculture, silviculture, construction, marinas, septic systems, and hydromodification activities. Proposals are reviewed and evaluated, and those which are determined to meet specific requirements are eligible for funding. All projects must include matching funding from a non-Federal source totaling at least 40 percent of the overall project cost. In addition to funding projects that achieve reductions in NPS pollution, the Delaware NPS Program is committed to addressing the issue through educational programs, publications, and partnerships with other organizations working to reduce NPS pollution in Delaware.

Minnesota Pollution Control Agency-Water	Minnesota	Water is one of Minnesota's most abundant and precious resources. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) helps protect our water by monitoring its quality, setting standards and controlling what may go into it.
Missouri Water Protection and Soil Conservation Division	Missouri	Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution accounts for a significant amount of the pollution that enters our rivers, lakes and streams. Runoff from rainwater, snowmelt and irrigation can carry pollutants such as fertilizers, pesticides, construction sedimentation and debris, automotive oil, yard and animal waste into our drinking water. Polluted storm water runoff can also harm wildlife, devalue property, and damage the landscape. The Section 319 NPS Implementation Grant Program focuses funding on water quality information and education, innovative pollution prevention practices, or remediation of an existing water quality problem or site. Funding is provided through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the department. Eligible organizations include local governments, educational institutions and not-for-profit organizations. The goal of the grant program is to provide citizens with the knowledge and ability to improve their common land-use practices and to protect water quality. Priority may be given to projects aimed at restoring waters on the 303(d) list of impaired waters.
New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services- Watershed Assistance Section	New Hampshire	In order to protect our state’s water resources we must protect the whole watershed. This means protecting aquifers, wetlands, groundwater, marshes, streams and estuaries, plus forests, fields, and other upland areas, because all parts of the watershed are interconnected. The watershed approach for management and planning is a strategy that has as its premise that many water quality and ecosystem problems are best solved at the watershed level rather than at the individual waterbody level. In addition, the watershed approach provides local communities greater involvement in decisions that affect their future. By combining forces and resources, watershed related teams are overcoming old barriers and realizing new opportunities. The NH Department of Environmental Service’s (DES) Watershed Assistance Program (formerly the Nonpoint Source Program) has been working with local organizations, other programs within DES, and EPA New England, to improve water quality in New Hampshire at the watershed level. We are working with people in their watersheds to identify water resource goals and to develop and implement watershed management plans.

North Carolina Division of Forest Resources	North Carolina
Tennessee Department of Agriculture- Division of Forestry	Tennessee	The forests covering more than half of Tennessee provide clean water, wildlife habitat, natural beauty and recreation. They raise our quality of life, promote tourism, and support a renewable forest products industry employing 78,000 Tennesseans. The Division of Forestry protects this resource and promotes its sustainable use through science-based forest management. Sustainable management emphasizes different uses of the forest in different situations, but always avoids destructive exploitation or lost opportunities due to neglect or ignorance. Specific division programs include: Fire Detection, suppression and prevention, urban and community forest assistance, insect and disease control, statewide forest inventory and analysis, water quality protection, assistance to non-corporate landowners, forest seedling nurseries, forest products marketing information, genetic tree improvement, and state forest system management.
