The Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority will partner with the Wyandot of Anderdon Nation to implement green infrastructure measures at Lake Erie Metropark and the Six Points site in Rockwood, Michigan under a $1.1 million Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 Project Grant awarded May 1, 2022 for completion by April 30, 2025. Funded through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the award will support construction of 16 naturalized swales and two rain gardens at Lake Erie Metropark totaling over 200,000 square feet to reduce nonpoint source pollution into Lake Erie. It will also restore approximately eight acres of riparian area with native vegetation at the Wyandot Six Points site to improve habitat around Brownstone Creek. The Authority will engage the community through public meetings, focus groups, educational signage, and volunteer maintenance groups to increase knowledge and participation in stormwater management using green infrastructure. No subawards are included.
