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 Environmental Quality (DEQ) in collecting and sharing water quality data for use in water resources management and protection programs.

The Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program (CLMP) is pleased to announce the release of its 2009 Spring Sampling Total Phosphorus results. Visit www.micorps.net/lakereports.html to download the report and view data collected for your lake. Also, check out the 2008 Annual Summary Report to view last year's data. MiCorps Training Workshop: This year's workshop on stream monitoring methods for Volunteer Stream Monitoring grant recipients and other interested parties was held on June 29, 2009 at the Devries Nature Conservancy in Owosso. Contact Paul Steen at psteen@hrwc.org for more information on this workshop or for additional stream monitoring resources. Each year, the Volunteer Stream Monitoring grants program provides funding to organizations interested in monitoring their streams and rivers.

CLMP enrollment for the 2009 spring/summer monitoring season has now ended. Please visit www.micorps.net/lakevolunteer.html for more information on becoming a future CLMP volunteer.
