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.
