New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Compact

The New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Compact is an agreement among six northeastern states—Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont—to work together in managing and improving water quality. It aims to protect rivers, lakes, and coastal waters from pollution by coordinating policies, sharing information, and implementing regional strategies. This collaboration helps prevent pollution, restore contaminated waters, and ensure clean, safe water for ecosystems and communities across the region. The compact promotes a unified approach to water resource management to address common environmental challenges effectively.
