Our Voluntary Clean Water Guidance for Agriculture (Clean Water Guidance) is a technical resource that recommends site-specific best management practices (BMPs) to help agricultural producers meet clean water standards and maintain healthy farmlands. The guidance, developed using the best available science and reviewed by our advisory group, is organized into individual chapters. The first five EPA-approved chapters are complete. The remaining eight chapters are due by Dec. 31, 2025, and will be submitted with the 2025 Nonpoint Plan. We invite comments on the chapters due this year and expect to update chapters regularly in the future as necessary.
To provide as much time for review as possible, we will post the draft chapters online as they are ready. We encourage everyone to begin their review as soon as possible given the volume of material. You can provide comments on the chapters at any time once posted until 11:59pm on Nov. 21, 2025.
Visit our webpage for more information and to access draft chapters that are currently available to preview and comment on.
