This document outlines the Nonpoint Source Management Program for the State of South Carolina, detailing strategies and initiatives to address water pollution from diffuse sources. It draws upon data and information crucial to understanding U.S. coastal management and NOAA's mission to sustain healthy coasts. The program aims to improve water quality by managing runoff from various land-use activities that carry pollutants into waterways. The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO), established in 1860, is responsible for printing federal government documents, and this publication is part of the Coastal Zone Information Center (CZIC) collection.
