| Year | Grantee name | Project title | Project description | Project county | Grant amount awarded |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Great Lakes Fishery Commission | Sucker River Culvert Replacement and Seasonal Sea Lamprey Barrier Construction | The project goal is to replace undersized, perched culverts at the H-58 road crossing over the Sucker River with a free span bridge to improve fish movement, stream health and connectivity, and road safety while continuing to control invasive sea lampreys with construction of a seasonal sea lamprey barrier upstream in the watershed. | Alger | $150,000.00 |
| 2023 | City of Kalamazoo | Habitat Restoration of Portage Creek at Milham Park | Natural Channel Design (NCD) will be used to restore Portage Creek (tributary to Kalamazoo River) through the former Milham Park impoundment to a stable functioning stream to improve aquatic resources and recreational opportunities in this designated trout stream. NCD will improve hydrology, aquatic connectivity, water quality, stream stability and aquatic and terrestrial habitat. The existing stream is overwide and shallow with limited habitat for native fishes, mussels and brown trout. | Kalamazoo | $75,000.00 |
| 2023 | J.A. Woollam Foundation | Restoring Fish Passage on the Headwaters of the Fox River | This project seeks to replace two failing culverts, one on the Fox River, and one on Casey Creek. The Fox River culvert is collapsing under the weight of the road and a falling retaining wall and will create a barrier in the river if the pipe were to completely collapse. The Casey Creek culvert is undersized, causing the creek to partially dam up from the roadbed on the upstream side. This project provides ecological benefits and public benefit by removing potentially hazardous stream crossings. | Alger | $62,200.00 |
| 2023 | Michigan Trout Unlimited | Riparian Wood Inventory for Opportunistic Stream Improvement on State Land | The Au Sable and Manistee Rivers are well-protected due to their appeal to recreators, yet they suffer from a shortage of in-stream wood from past land use. Large portions of these rivers pass through public land, and while wood recruitment should increase with time, strategic wood additions now will accelerate habitat improvement and diversification. The first step is to inventory state lands to prioritize reaches most in need of wood and identify candidate riparian trees for additions. | Crawford and Kalkaska | $27,700.00 |
| 2023 | Michigan Trout Unlimited | North Branch Manistee Stream Restoration and Improvement at Flowing Wells | Restore the form and function of the North Branch at Flowing Wells. In-stream habitat will be improved, a split in the natural stream channel into a legacy ditch will be corrected, and in-stream habitat structures will be installed. | Kalkaska | $144,800.00 |
| 2023 | Conservation Resource Alliance | N. Cole Creek/24th St. Fish Passage | A road/stream crossing consisting of three undersized and perched culverts will be removed and replaced with a channel-spanning timber bridge on the North Branch of Cole Creek (NBCC), a tributary to the Baldwin River in Lake County. As part of the Pere Marquette Watershed, which includes exemplary coldwater streams and a robust fishery, the project will yield valuable ecosystem benefits including bidirectional fish passage, restoration of stream function, and improved water quality. | Lake | $100,000.00 |
| 2023 | Conservation Resource Alliance | Stony Creek Restoration, Fish Passage, and Marshville Dam Removal: Implementation | Floodplain creation, instream habitat, and tree plantings, in conjunction with the overall dam removal and stream restoration project, will be supported by this proposed project. Without direct action, the resultant increased slope reach will provide less valuable shallow-water habitat, and an abandoned floodplain bench will convert to less valuable upland habitat and be prone to streambank erosion. | Oceana | $108,600.00 |
| 2023 | Duplain Township | Duplain Township Dam Removal Engineering and Design | The goal of this phase of the project is the data collection and engineering portions of the Elsie Dam removal. Direct deliverables will include 100% design plans for the removal, construction sequencing plan, and construction specs. The dam removal will enhance the fishing potential, open the river for improved non-motorized watercraft, and increase the outdoor recreational opportunities. | Clinton | $225,000.00 |
| 2023 | Trout Unlimited | Restoring Habitat and Connectivity in the White River Watershed | The proposed project on the Upper White River and Flinton Creek will address two problems in the watershed. The first is a total barrier to aquatic organism passage (AOP) on Flinton Creek: the project will improve the road-stream crossing to allow for AOP and natural ecological processes to occur fully. This will open up 8.3 miles of high-quality cold-water habitat for the White River. The other problem addressed is the lack of instream woody habitat; this portion of the project will enhance 1.4 miles of stream. | Newaygo | $250,500.00 |
| 2023 | City of Battle Creek | Kalamazoo River Restoration Project | In 1962, the USACE dredged, straightened, narrowed, and lined the Kalamazoo River with concrete. A dam and culverts are within the project area. This project provides funding to hire a consultant to complete a feasibility, design, and pre-engineering study to take this project to reality. Benefits of this project would be to naturalize the river to improve aquatic habitat, safety, and river navigation by reconnecting 46 miles of river. | Calhoun | $325,000.00 |
| 2023 | Michigan DNR Fisheries Division | Muskegon Walleye Rearing Pond Water Intake Improvements | The existing pumps at the Muskegon walleye rearing pond draw water directly from the Muskegon River. While this system works well for filling the ponds during high flows in the spring, it does not function in the summer. The current setup allows for the rearing of spring fingerling (1-2 inches) walleyes but not fall fingerlings (5-8 inches). The installation of two 8" wells would allow us to keep the pond full through the summer and rear walleyes to the fall fingerling stage. | Muskegon | $156,000.00 |
| 2022 | Conservation Resource Alliance | Spanning the Headwaters of the Jordan River and Deer Creek Project | Restoration of three severe road/stream crossings on the Jordan River and Deer Creek with bankfull spanning bridges that ensure aquatic passage from 12 miles upstream to 20 miles downstream, halt erosion and runoff, and return floodplains. | Charlevoix and Antrim | $200,000.00 |

| 2022 | Huron Pines | Replace Sparr Road/Black River Culvert to Enhance Fish Passage and River Function | The Sparr Road crossing of the Black River currently features two undersized culverts that force water through at high velocity, impeding fish passage and causing erosion. A larger bottomless box culvert will be installed at this site. | Otsego | $162,000.00 |
| 2022 | Friends of the Rouge | Lower Rouge River Culvert Inventory to Improve Fish Passage | Identify road crossings that are limiting fish passage and natural flow regimes in the Lower Branch of the Rouge River to help prioritize and create an inventory of potential future projects. | Wayne | $67,800.00 |
| 2022 | Conservation Resource Alliance | Restoring and Reconnecting Cedar Run Creek | The two most severe road stream crossings on Cedar Run Creek in the Lake Leelanau Watershed will be replaced with bankfull spanning structures to help reconnect 34.3 miles of stream, halt erosion, and stop fish stranding during high water events. | Leelanau | $200,000.00 |
