Polutant
• Point Sources
• include sewage treatment plants; oil refineries;
paper and pulp mills; chemical, automobile,
and electronics manufacturers; and factories.
Regulated pollutants from point sources include
wastes, soils, rocks, chemicals, bacteria,
suspended solids, heavy metals, pesticides, and
more.

Polutant
• Nonpoint Sources
• Excess fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides from agricultural lands
and residential areas.
• Oil, grease and toxic chemicals from urban runoff and energy
production.
