The report summarizes data and procedures used to assemble a National county-based nonurban- nonpoint-source-discharge inventory. The data pertains to five nonurban-nonpoint-source sectors. The inventory estimates discharge of 11 pollutants from these sectors on an average day when runoff occurs throughout the Nation. The report describes integration of the nonurban- nonpoint-source inventory with a national point-source and urban-runoff inventory that also accounts for average daily discharge level of the 11 pollutants. Summary tables show average daily discharges for nonurban-nonpoint, urban-nonpoint, and point-source sectors at the National, State, water-resources region, and producing area levels. The report describes the integration of the nonpoint- and point-source data with the National water-quality model.
