      "title": "The Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Program: Status and Legislative Issues",
      "summary": "In 1990, Congress enacted legislation requiring coastal states and territories to develop programs\nto\nhelp address the problem of nonpoint source pollution in coastal waters, which are especially\nthreatened by pressures of population growth, development, and pollution. The coastal nonpoint\npollution program is unique because it expressly links federal and state coastal zone management and\nwater quality programs. Coastal states are now implementing these requirements. Congress has not\nchanged the program since its enactment, but one issue receiving attention is whether to integrate the\ncoastal nonpoint pollution program with activities under the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA). \nIn the 106th Congress, CZMA legislation passed the Senate ( S. 1534 ), and a separate\nbill was reported by a House committee ( H.R. 2669 ), but no further action occurred. \nWhether the coastal nonpoint program will receive attention in the 107th Congress is unknown at this\ntime. This report will be updated as developments warrant.",
