The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 awarded the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (MDEGLE) a $120,000 cooperative agreement under the Geographic Programs - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 66.469) effective August 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2028. MDEGLE will conduct environmental monitoring and assessment activities to characterize saxitoxins in water samples associated with benthic cyanobacteria accumulations (Microseira wollei) in the nearshore habitat of Lake St. Clair. The monitoring effort will encompass 12 sampling events at five public locations throughout the 2027 beach season, supported by laboratory analysis for a comprehensive suite of saxitoxins and a quality assurance project plan. The primary deliverable will be a final report documenting the monitoring data and findings. The project outcomes will enhance partner agencies' understanding of potential cyanotoxin presence and associated health risks related to M. wollei accumulations, thereby informing future monitoring protocols and public health recommendations. The broader beneficiaries include communities and the general public who live, work, and recreate near Lake St. Clair. No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
