Watershed Summary

Millers Creek has a 2.4 square mile watershed and is the smallest named tributary to the Huron River. The 125-mile Huron River, from its origin in Springfield Township in Oakland County to its outlet on Lake Erie, is a critical natural resource. It supplies drinking water to 140,000 people, and with two-thirds of the public recreational land of southeast Michigan, is one of the major recreational features in the region.

The goals of this project are to develop a set of recommendations that will improve stream habitat and watershed hydrology, improve recreational opportunities in and around the creek and help local stakeholders achieve the objectives of the Ford and Belleville Lakes total phosphorus TMDL and the Gallup (Geddes) Pond E. coli TMDL. Implementation of these recommendations will also help foster activities that perpetuate urban watershed and stream stewardship, and create a healthier balance between the local community and its ecosystems.
