The overall mission of the Water Division's Watersheds and Wetlands Branch (WWB) is to enhance State, Tribal, and local water quality and aquatic habitat management efforts through an active watershed and resource based approach. The Branch implements the provisions of Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, providing assistance to States to address Non-Point Source runoff.
The Branch protects high quality wetlands, increasing wetland acreage,
and enhancing and restoring wetlands that have been lost. The Branch
serves as the focal point for all activities related to the identification
and listing of water bodies which are not attaining water quality
standards per 303(d) of the Clean Water Act, and application of
tools to address impairments, including the development of Total
Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
