DEQ and partner agencies are making progress towards the goal of improving water quality in the Commonwealth. One of those mechanisms is through development of Implementation Plans, which address nonpoint source pollution. The table below lists Approved Implementation Plan Reports (Technical and/or Public) and their related information such as location, impairment(s) and approval date(s). To view a Implementation Plan report, click on the highlighted report name (Column 1).

If a document or link is not available, please contact DEQ to obtain a copy. If you have any disabilities that require that the document in question be shared in an accessible format, please make sure to specify that in your request.  If this is the case, DEQ will do all that is possible to provide a document in an accessible format. However, older documents may present a number of challenges. In such cases, DEQ will work with the requestor to accommodate their request.
