Coastal Nonpoint Program Approval Findings
NOAA and EPA review and approve state Coastal Nonpoint Programs. All states' Coastal Nonpoint Programs were initially approved with specific conditions (Conditional Approval Findings): most states in 1997-1998 but several states were later entrants to the coastal zone management program so their conditional approval was more recent. The conditions called for states to enhance their management programs and/or develop new implementation mechanisms.
States receive full approval for their Coastal Nonpoint Programs once they have satisfied all their conditions. When NOAA and EPA make the decision to fully approve a state coastal nonpoint program, they develop a Full Approval Decision Memo and publish a notice of intent in the Federal Register. A 30-day public comment period is provided before Full Approval is granted.
Note: If a state/territory does not have an active link to its Full Approval Decision Document, it is because full approval has not yet occurred.
