MARQUETTE, MI-- Two Upper Peninsula entities have received grants from the Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy to improve water quality.
Marquette Township is getting more than $293,000 to reduce nonpoint source pollutants, improve stream conditions, and restore hydrology by replacing four dramatically undersized culverts with appropriately sized bottomless arch culverts in an urban cold-water stream.
And the Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve is getting nearly $95,000 to repair a failed road stream crossing on Deer Creek, a cold-water tributary of the Yellow Dog River. The project will restore the hydrology and sediment flow of Deer Creek and maintain the cold-water recharge of the Yellow Dog River.
