Lake Charlevoix Watershed Advisory Committee
The Lake Charlevoix Watershed Plan Advisory Committee was created to implement management plan steps, and in the past decade has been one of the most active watershed groups in the state. The Advisory Committee is a partnership between the Lake Charlevoix Association, Charlevoix Conservation District, Charlevoix County, Little Traverse Conservancy, Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, local township governments, friends groups, interested citizens, and Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council. The goal of the Advisory Committee is "to protect the water quality and high quality uses of the water resources of Lake Charlevoix and its tributaries by reducing the amount of non-point source pollution and preventing future contributions." The Lake Charlevoix Watershed Advisory Committee seeks to educate and involve the community in watershed management issues, and has had many successes.
The Lake Charlevoix Watershed Management Plan was written to address threats to the watershed, primarily from non-point source pollution. Because Watershed Plans normally have a 10-year lifespan, an updated Plan was approved by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and United States Environmental Protection Agency in July 2012, to begin the next decade of work.
