Watershed Summary 

The Northeastern watershed (NEW) is a subwatershed of the St. Clair River, and drains the northeast corner of St. Clair County and part of Sanilac County. The NEW encompasses approximately 31% of the land in St. Clair County draining 144,000 acres of land into 376 mile of tributaries that ultimately discharge into the St. Clair River. The NEW also encompasses 46.8 miles of shoreline along Lake Huron and the St. Clair River and contains twenty communities spanning St. Clair and Sanilac counties.  The NEW watershed management plan was developed using local funding in response to the Phase 2 Stormwater Program.  The plan is accepted by the Storm Water Program and approved by the Nonpoint Source Program under CMI watershed planning rules.
