Watershed Summary 

The Rifle River (Ogemaw and Arenac Counties) is a tributary to Saginaw Bay.  The Rifle River Watershed Plan was approved under the CMI administrative rules and was funded under section 319.   As a part of this project, streambank erosion was addressed by implementing whole tree revetments and lunker structures.  Critical area treatment was also applied to public use and recreation areas, primarily brush replacement.  An information and education plan was developed which will be implemented over the next 20 years.
