Clinton Main Subwatershed Planning Process
The Clinton Main subwatershed management plan was
put in place August 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.
