The NPS Pollution Management Program is responsible for developing and updating the state Best Management Practices Handbook. An individual or agency can utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) to control a water quality problem. The BMP concept is based on the premise that individuals and agencies should take the most practical and feasible approach to prevent the release of pollutants into the surface and ground waters of the State. Best Management Practices - Effective BMPs must be based on consideration of all existing site-specific conditions and must be cost effective. Factors that need to be considered include the occurrence and movement of surface and ground water, geology, soil type, climate, topography and habitat. Scheduling and timing are important, as are adequate design and application. BMPs should be designed and developed on a site-specific basis by qualified professionals. BMP Handbook ordering ($25.00): Karen Howard - Phone: (775) 687-9444 Branch Supervisor: Kathy Sertic — Phone: (775) 687-9455
