The Alaska Coastal Clean Water Plan (ACCWP)

Congress created Section 6217, titled "Protecting Coastal Waters," to help address nonpoint source pollution problems nationwide. Examples of nonpoint source pollution are failing septic tanks and leach fields oozing to the surface, runoff and snowmelt carrying oil and grease into streams and poorly constructed logging roads creating sediment. There is no funding available for FFY11. For more information on Section 6217, contact Dave Gann (907)465-3529
