ASCS will provide financial assistance to producers <br />for installing water quality practices in most areas. <br /> <br />Hydrologic units will be selected In areas where impairment of <br />water quality by agricultural nonpoint sources is significant. In <br />selectiag these areas, the State assessment and management <br /> <br />reports developed under section 319 at the Water Quality Act <br />of 1987 and other water quality data will be used in <br />consultation with appropriate State agencies and <br />organizations. Selection Will be on the basis of (1) significance <br />of the agricultural sources of pollution; (2) relative <br />predominance of such designated pollutants as. pesticides, <br />nutrients, and animal wastes; and (3) conformance with other <br />water quality efforts. <br /> <br />Hydrologic unit planning and treatment will be a coordinated <br />effort by Federal, State, and local agencies and will include <br />public involvement. Progress will be monitored to determine <br />the effects of water quality measures on the water quality <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />. <br />
