Abstract
ABSTRACT Despite great success in coping with point-source pollution, over 55% of our waterways remain impaired; and are likely to remain that way so long as we continue to use point-source permitting strategies to address nonpoint source stormwater flows. Practitioners need to take the lead in making the case that watershed-wide restoration plans are justified as a matter of public policy and are far more likely to succeed than adherence to a regulatory regime based on a model of harm no longer relevant to our impaired water bodies.
期刊介绍：
Environmental Practice provides a multidisciplinary forum for authoritative discussion and analysis of issues of wide interest to the international community of environmental professionals, with the intent of developing innovative solutions to environmental problems for public policy implementation, professional practice, or both. Peer-reviewed original research papers, environmental reviews, and commentaries, along with news articles, book reviews, and points of view, link findings in science and technology with issues of public policy, health, environmental quality, law, political economy, management, and the appropriate standards for expertise. Published for the National Association of Environmental Professionals
