The Michigan Clean Water Corps (MiCorps) is a network of volunteer monitoring programs in Michigan. It was created through an executive order by Governor Jennifer M. Granholm to assist the Department of Natural Resources & Environment (DNRE) (formerly the Department of Environmental Quality) in collecting and sharing water quality data for use in water resources management and protection programs.

MiCorps is pleased to announce this year's grant recipients for the Volunteer Stream Monitoring grant program. Each year, the Volunteer Stream Monitoring grants program provides funding to organizations interested in monitoring their streams and rivers. For 2010, a total of nearly $50,000 was awarded for three full grants and four start-up grants.
