For 2026, the Water Resources Divisionintends to allocate the majority of its monitoring resources to those watersheds highlighted in the Basin Year 3 Watersheds Map but will consider recommendations for other Michigan watersheds.
Anyone interested may complete the Targeted Monitoring Request (TMR) Screening Form. If a request is not applicable for TMR, the form redirects to appropriate alternative resources. If targeted monitoring is determined to be the best resource, users will be directed to the TMR Submission Form.
Requests should be submitted by Oct. 31, 2025, to be considered for the 2026 field season. Submission of a request does not guarantee the WRD will be able to conduct the monitoring. Many factors, including budget, staff availability, and division priorities are considered during decision making.
Please contact EGLE-WRD-TMR@Michigan.gov, Joshua Tellier at 517-512-3045, or Ryan Baldwin at 517-290-9012 with any questions.
