Watershed Summary

The Mill Creek Watershed is a 92,000-acre watershed and the largest sub-watershed of the Huron River. The Mill Creek Watershed is approved under the CMI administrative rules, meets EPA's nine required elements, and was funded under section 319. It has had to reduce large amounts of phosphorus and construction pollutions in the middle of the Huron due to agricultural land being rapidly converted to urban and suburban areas. It has also significantly reduced nutrients, stabilized stream banks, stopped soil erosion, decreased flow, temperature alterations, and the loss of wetlands. Mill Creek residents were also trained in water resources, aquatic habitat quality, and related topics to help improve the water quality of Mill Creek.
