Project Description: Agricultural land use practices are 1 source of nonpoint source pollution affecting beneficial uses and potentially contributing to Clean Water Act section 303(d) impairments in the Yachats watershed of Oregon's MidCoast Basin. This project will include a site-scale assessment of near-stream landscape conditions and agricultural practices to identify opportunities for the development of on-the-ground nonpoint source reduction and focus outreach to private landowners to identify locations that are suitable for best management practices (BMPs).
