The Bureau of Water Quality Planning (BWQP) is responsible for several water quality protection functions which include collecting and analyzing water data, developing standards for surface waters, publishing informational reports, providing water quality education and implementing programs to address surface water quality. The Bureau is also responsible for two certification programs. BWQP is divided into three branches: water quality standards, monitoring and nonpoint source pollution management.
