MiCorps Recognizes GLA Water Quality Efforts

Posted on August 8, 2009 by glenlake

From the July MiCorps July 2009 newsletter:

“The Glen Lake volunteers are leaders in the field of volunteer water monitoring. By being consistent with their monitoring, being aware of watershed connections, and taking responsibility for their personal impacts on the lake, these volunteers provide a great example for other lake associations to follow.”

The Michigan Clean Water Corps (MiCorps) is a network of volunteer monitoring programs in Michigan. It was created through an executive order by Governor Jennifer M. Granholm to assist the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in collecting and sharing water quality data for use in water resources management and protection programs.

MiCorps chose to highlight the dedicated work being done by our volunteer monitors of Glen Lake. Members of the Glen Lake Association have been involved with the CLMP since 1979, and are unique in that they also monitor the quality of their inflowing stream.
