Lenawee County, MI – The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy announced two grants for projects that will develop watershed management plans to control polluted runoff… with one of them being in Lenawee County.
The River Raisin Watershed Council will be awarded $100,967 to develop a new watershed management plan for the Upper Wolf Creek watershed… with known water quality impairments and concerns about harmful algal blooms. The project includes water quality monitoring, agricultural surveys, wetland assessment and modeling to prioritize pollutant sources and help choose solutions.
Also, the Washtenaw County Conservation District will receive over $175,000 to develop a new watershed management plan for the Ottawa/Stony Creek watershed, a tributary to the Western Lake Erie Basin.
These watershed management planning projects are funded through the federal Clean Water Act.
