Special Report No. 83-01: Summary of Silvicultural Nonpoint Source Control Programs – 1982

Section 208 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (PL92-500) called for the development of area-wide water quality management plans to include silviculturally related nonpoint discharges. The National Council carried out two earlier comprehensive surveys of 208 programs and one survey which focused on 208 programs in the Southeast. The earlier surveys were de- signed to determine the status of 208 planning and examine the procedures chosen to identify and control nonpoint discharges.
