Since then, states in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Region 3 have developed over 105 watershed-based plans that cover over 270 watersheds; when fully implemented, over 3,000 impaired streams will be restored. However, the estimated cost to fully implement these plans exceeds $2.7 billion dollars. This mapping service is designed to show users the watersheds that have nonpoint source implementation plans. It also provides information from nonpoint source reports at the state scale.</p>
