River News
Greetings,
The watershed council is
pleased to report the progress of on the ground projects developing within the
watershed. This edition contains an article about the successful Cascade Dam removal
and stream restoration project
in Ray Township . Another
highlight this past year is that
the City of Auburn Hills received an award from the
Michigan Association of Planning honoring their achievement for the creation of a
successful Riverwalk Master
Plan. This plan showcases the
river as a real asset to their
community. Thanks to all of
our members and stakeholders for your support.
Happy Holidays to our
Watershed Friends.

that trout survival and available
habitat has increased. No trout species were collected in Trout Creek,
but an assortment of non-game species were collected such as sculpins,
creek chubs, shiners, and various
darters. The creek has been known
historically to harbor trout, and seems
to be an important source of coldwater input for the main branch of
Paint Creek. Future efforts will be
made to collect more information
about Trout Creek and other tributaries of Paint Creek. Fish population
surveys are conducted to help assess
the effectiveness of management
and restoration efforts. For more
information about the methods and
techniques used for these types of
surveys please contact CRWC. The

Local community celebrating its water and natural resources
The City of Auburn Hills, a dynamic
community committed to innovation
and growth, received the Michigan
Association of Planning’s prestigious
Planning Excellence 2010 Award for
the city’s Riverwalk master plan. Ultimately, the plan envisions a Riverfront
park system linked to the regional
Clinton River Trail network and connected to the city’s downtown core
that will host a wide range of recreational and leisure activities for local
residents and visitors. Additional goals
of the master plan are to protect and
improve water quality, encourage a
healthy, walkable community and
enhance the economy of the city.
Brian Marzolf, Director of Recreation for Auburn Hills, was formally
presented with the award on October 20th at the Michigan Association of Planning’s annual conference, Planning Michigan, in
Detroit. Mr. Marzolf says the
Riverwalk Master Plan, which falls
under the city’s parks system, was
a true community effort.
“The Riverwalk is shaping up to
be a community success story. We
obtained input from residents, business
owners, elected officials, Oakland
County planning professionals, various
Auburn Hills departments, and other
organizations that enjoy the benefits of
the Clinton River and surrounding areas
in a detailed planning process to ensure the Riverwalk’s long-term success,”
explains Mr. Marzolf. “We anticipate
the Riverwalk will become a big draw
for advocates of parks, open spaces
and healthy lifestyles.”

education on a watershed, crossjurisdictional basis is both cost effective
and environmentally sound. The watershed approach allows the partners to
share information and resources to address stormwater concerns at their

on a watershed basis provides a consistent and effective mechanism for protecting water resources across the region, while leveraging financial resources in each community.

REI Grant goes along way
For the last 8 years the Clinton
River Watershed Council
(CRWC) has received funding
from REI Inc. for stewardship
and education programming.
The funding this year was expanded to assist CRWC in new
ways. One of the hurdles that
impacts teacher and student
participation in Stream Leaders
or Student Congress is transportation costs. Funds from the REI
grant are being used to reimburse teachers 50% of their
transportation costs up to $200
for either Student Congress or
Stream Monitoring during the
2010-2011 school year. Another new initiative under this
funding is intended to increase
volunteerism and stewardship
through a targeted marketing
Pa g e 5
program for Adopt A Stream.
The additional funding will create
an Adopt A Stream brochure and
door hanger that will assist staff
in marketing the program. We
will continue to use these funds
for Student Congress and Clinton
Clean-up as in years past.
CRWC’s mission aligns well with
REI’s Conservation & Recreation
Grants program that seeks "to
help protect and restore the environment, increase access to outdoor activities, and encourage
involvement in responsible outdoor recreation.” We here at the
council are grateful for this partnership!
