Watershed Protection Plans for Nonpoint Source Water Pollution
The TCEQ and the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board 
support the development and implementation of Watershed Protection Plans that prevent or manage nonpoint source pollution. WPPs are developed through local stakeholder groups with funding and technical assistance from the TCEQ and/or the TSSWCB, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A significant portion of Texas’ federal funding for managing nonpoint source pollution is dedicated to the development and implementation of Watershed Protection Plans.

Resources for Developing Watershed Plans
Guidelines and requirements for developing WPPs are available in the currrent version of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Guidance for Nonpoint Source Grants and in the Handbook for Developing Watershed Plans to Restore and Protect Our Waters (PDF).
