Subwatershed Planning Process

The Lake St. Clair subwatershed management plan was put in place November 2006. Since that time (and before the plan's approval), local governments, community leaders, citizens' groups, businesses, and environmental organizations have worked together to implement their plan.

Subwatershed management plans provide a framework for communities to collaboratively address various issues related to water quality. For example, subwatershed management plans include language about building practices, land use planning, public education, and other relevant topics. Each community and organization represents one entity essential to the success of watershed management. Strategic planning done at a local level will have great influence on the future of the Clinton River watershed and beyond. These plans serve as a map to that future.
