Watershed Summary

The Sturgeon Creek is a 40,000-acre watershed located in Midland County. The Sturgeon Creek Watershed is approved under the CMI administrative rules and was funded under section 319. The watershed includes 14,000 acres of cropland, 21,300 acres of forested land, and over 4,700 acres of urban land (within the City of Midland). By reducing the amount of sediment and erosion from agricultural practices, urban development, and streambank erosion, the Sturgeon Creek Watershed was able to improve their water quality while raising awareness of water quality issues to their community.
