Saginaw Bay RC&D, Cass River Greenway Committee and other partners recently completed a Watershed Management Plan for the Cass River Watershed. The watershed management plan identifies sources of pollutants including: stream bank erosion, on-site septic management and agricultural associated runoff. The RC&D and Cass River Greenway Committee recently received funding from various groups including: Bay Area Community Foundation (under the Saginaw Bay Restoration Fund) and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, with commitments from Star of the West Milling Company and Frankenmuth Conservation Club. We will focus our efforts in the Lower Cass River Watershed, which starts at Vassar and extends downstream to the Saginaw River. It includes Cole, Perry, Dead, and Millington Creeks, as well as the main channel of the Cass River. There have been 23 stream bank erosion sites identified in Cole creek alone! Our initial efforts will be focused on contacting landowners with the most erosive sites and conducting field visits from now until Spring of 2015. Plans for construction will be in coordination with the Frankenmuth Dam upgrades. Stream bank stabilization efforts reduce sedimentation, improve fish habitat and enhance recreational activities in the Cass River Watershed. 

To learn more about the Watershed Management Plan, please contact Cass River Greenway Committee at www.cassriver.org or Saginaw Bay RC&D at www.saginawbayrcd.org or email the RC&D at saginawbay@aol.com or contact Jim Hergott, 989-450-0567 or Robert Zeilinger, RJZEI@aol.com.
