This year HRWC celebrated our 50th anniversary with
music, recreation, food and drink, and poetry.
partners in taking actions to protect and restore the
watershed. We will use that information to prioritize our
outreach and education and other programs. Finally, we
will inspire others to get to the river, enjoy the river, have
a new experience, love it as much as we do, and care
about its future.
Thank you for marking this milestone with us.
For the past 50 years, we’ve been working hard to
improve our watershed and we are seeing great
results. More people are enjoying the recreational
opportunities that our river provides. Their experiences
are possible because of the improvements we’ve made in
clean water, access, fish and bird diversity, local, state, and
regional protections and laws, strong master plans,
enforcement, restoration, and parks in river towns! Some
of the signs of a vibrant and healthy ‘shed are the busiest
canoe livery in the state, thousands of acres of protected
high quality natural areas, a reputation as the cleanest
urban river, active trails and trail towns, a national Water
Trail designation, phosphorus reductions and a statewide
phosphorus ban on residential lawn fertilizers, and some
forward-thinking stormwater protection ordinances and
rules.
We also have a few key opportunities we need to seize
upon:
1. As more people engage with the river, we need to
instill a river stewardship ethic and provide clear options
for action;
2. In order to develop a collaborative environment that
encourages different ideas, perspectives, and experiences,
we need to attract and retain volunteers, members, and
stewards that represent the diversity of socioeconomic,
gender, race, religion, and sexual orientation that are
representative of the watershed; and
3. We need to celebrate innovative and effective
solutions that are coming from the bottom up and work to
build strong local leadership in support of them.
That’s not to say our work is done. We have a lot more to
do and the HRWC board and staff have developed some
guiding principles to get us there. As our
accomplishments have shown, HRWC protects and
restores the river for healthy and vibrant
communities. Our vision is a future of clean and plentiful
water for people and nature where citizens and
government are effective and courageous champions for
the Huron River and its watershed. To achieve that, we:
 work with a collaborative and inclusive spirit to give all
partners the opportunity to become stewards;
 generate science-based, trustworthy information for
decision makers to ensure reliable supplies of clean water
and resilient natural systems; and
 passionately advocate for the health of the river and
the lands around it.
We have far-reaching goals and we need you to get them
done. Please reflect on what inspires you to be a part of
HRWC and where you can have an impact. And then join
us as we all jump in to make the next 50 years as
successful as the past 50.
For the river,
Laura Rubin,
Executive Director
So, what is next? We will be out in the watershed
monitoring our river and streams and natural areas. We
will use that information to engage stakeholders and

Program Success
Stream Monitoring
We are now in our 23rd year of the Adopt-a-Stream
Program! This past year we had over 300 volunteers
participate in our events, including the Winter Stonefly
Search, two River Roundups, and Measuring &
Mapping. These volunteers are our eyes on the river.
They help us find immediate problems, and they also
collect data that we use to track the long-term health of
the Huron River and its tributaries.
Our analysis of the data collected indicates that 66
percent of the watershed is near pristine or lightly
impacted by human activities; 28 percent is moderately
impacted; and 7 percent is highly impacted.
Climate Resilient Communities
Our Climate Resilience Communities work is
improving the climate literacy of water resource
managers and facilitating change that builds
resilience to anticipated impacts of climate change.
The project convened experts in four areas: natural
areas protection and management, stormwater
management, river flows and (most recently) hazard
mitigation.
Our data are also very important in directing
management activities. For example, Measuring &
Mapping data showed a lack of good habitat in the
Huron River in Ypsilanti. For the past year we have
studied this section more fully, raised funds, and in Fall
2015 we will implement a fish habitat restoration
project along the river in the Ypsilanti city parks.
After three years of facilitated discussions and
strategy implementation, these teams have made
significant strides toward a more resilient Huron. We
now have a networked community of dam operators
tackling issues such as dam safety and improved flow
management. More accurate rainfall data is being
used in several applications, like the Washtenaw
County Stormwater Rules and Ann Arbor’s new
stormwater model, that will make our watershed
better prepared to handle larger, more intense
rainfall events. We are sharing materials that teach
natural areas managers how native tree species are
expected to fair as temperatures increase and rainfall
changes and emerging strategies for protecting our
forests and urban canopy. Hazard mitigation and
emergency response professionals are more aware of
how weather events are expected to change and are
considering how to prepare for more frequent and
extreme natural hazards.
Through our Creek Walking Program volunteers visit the
same location several times over the course of a
summer. We had six teams of 4-5 people walking
sections of creeks like Honey Creek in Pinckney, Traver
Creek in Ann Arbor, and Davis Creek in South Lyon.
Their goal was to look for erosion problems and
incoming water pollution, and pick up trash. The teams
took pictures and recorded GPS coordinates of their
observations. They explored beautiful areas like the
upper sections of Boyden Creek. And they recorded
interesting finds like an old car living in Portage Creek
and a ten foot tall eroding bank in Millers Creek.

Project participants reported having a better
understanding of how climate change will affect the
area, are comfortable sharing that knowledge with
peers and management and are advocating for
change. They are also interested in moving climate
adaptation strategies forward and HRWC will
continue to support these efforts.

Carbon Footprint of Water
This past year HRWC calculated how much energy is used and carbon is
emitted through the different stages of the domestic water cycle in the
watershed. The Carbon Footprint of Water report is complete and we
learned:

Energy used to produce drinking water in the watershed is about 10
percent higher than national averages.

Energy used to treat wastewater in the watershed is 57-76 percent
higher than national averages depending on treatment type.

Energy used in homes for water use was lower than national averages
but by far the most energy intense phase of the cycle in the watershed.
Nearly 89,000 tons of carbon dioxide are emitted annually associated with our water use. Equivalent to the annual
emissions from nearly 17,000 passenger vehicles, it would take more than 66,000 acres of forest one year to
sequester this much carbon; more than double the combined areas of Southeast Michigan’s Pinckney and
Waterloo Recreation Areas. The full report is at hrwc.org/take-action/save-water-save-energy.

Bioreserve Project
HRWC partnered with the SEMIWILD collaborative, a group of
Southeast Michigan land conservancies, to focus preservation
efforts in the Huron River watershed. HRWC provided field
assessments on properties the conservancies have targeted to
pursue for protection, working with them to reach out and share
findings and information with property owners.

Green Infrastructure Planning
Green Infrastructure is the network of forests, wetlands,
grasslands, and waterways that make up our natural
infrastructure. These natural areas provide ecosystem services
like filtering pollution, slowing runoff, and keeping our streams
running clear and cool. HRWC’s green infrastructure for local
governments program engages residents, planners, and decision
-makers to map out and describe important, intact natural areas,
links between them, and other smaller important natural
features. The data is used to help plan for incoming development
in a way that maintains those ecosystems and enact policies to protect them.
Photo: John Lloyd
In the past year HRWC created Green Infrastructure plans and maps for Webster and Salem Townships and
worked to implement previously developed plans with Dexter, Unadilla, and Lyndon Townships.

Webster Township is updating their master plan with the map and goals for natural features protection

Dexter, Unadilla, and Lyndon have included riparian buffer protections in their local ordinances

Lyndon Township consulted their map in evaluating development proposals
Stormwater Management
HRWC continues to help watershed municipalities in four counties improve their stormwater management
programs through collaborative efforts. Highlights from 2014-15 include:

A growing water quality monitoring program with sites sampled across thee counties and a record effort;

Monitoring results that show nutrient reduction in the face of higher intensity storms and declining
bacterial contamination trends in Washtenaw County, but broad (though stable) impaired waters in
Wayne County;

Preparing municipalities for new stormwater permit requirements by helping them develop new
educational initiatives and improve stormwater management standards;

Expanding education efforts and initiating new projects in Wayne County; and

Completing a watershed management plan for Honey Creek which has high bacterial contamination.
Education and Outreach

The Huron River Watershed Community Calendar marked its
twelfth year in 2014-15. 275,000 calendars featuring
watershed information and pollution prevention tips have
been provided to residents.

The Alliance of Downriver Watershed communities distributed
25,000 calendars featuring ADW-specific information. An ADW
pet waste campaign shared tips with pet owners through 150
veterinarians and pet supply retailers.

HRWC and community partners also distributed 6,000 copies
of Waterfront Wisdom, a 12-page booklet featuring
techniques for shoreline property owners to keep waterways
healthy.

Last year marked the fourth year of RiverUp!, our publicprivate renaissance for the Huron River corridor. We are
well on the way to making the river a premier destination
in Michigan with an ever-growing group of partners,
funders, and participants.
CleanUp! Improve River Health
More than 7,600 ft of the river in Ypsilanti are being restored for
the benefit of the native fishery, angling, and freshwater
education. Completion is slated for Fall 2015.
Trash removal and woody debris management improved safety
and aesthetics on the river. Four clean-ups occurred last year and
five river miles were made navigable for non-motorized watercraft.
FixUp! Invest in River Recreation
Following a nine-month review, the Huron River Water Trail was designated the 18th
National Water Trail by the National Park Service. This distinction makes the trail part of
a network of national exemplary water trails. The benefits of designation include an
elevated national profile for the trail and access to resources and best practices.
Outfitters on the river tell us they have seen an increase in queries from out-of-state
customers as a result.
To date, four construction projects are completed at portages and access points. The most recent projects were
the new floating dock at Peninsular Park in Ypsilanti and the Barton Dam boat slide in Ann Arbor. The boat slide is
a unique design created by SmithGroupJJR that allows for canoes and kayaks to move up or down the steep
portage.
Our trail markers and waterproof maps are guiding trail
users and improving their experience. The first edition of the
Paddler’s Companion sold 1,500 copies. We completed an
expanded and updated second edition in 2015. The book is
emulated by other trails in Michigan and around the
country. Most of the water trail signs are installed along the
104 river miles to guide trail users as well as emergency
personnel.

BuildUp! Turn Our Communities to Face the River
A Trail Town is a destination where trail users can venture
off the trail to enjoy the scenery, services, heritage and
character of a nearby community. HRWC facilitated Trail Town teams in Milford, Dexter, Ann
Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Flat Rock and supported their efforts to become trail-ready.

In 2014-15 we created three mini-documentaries that tell stories of RiverUp! through film. “Fly Fishing the Huron”
was the first release and features small business owner Mike Schultz, a successful outfitter in Ypsilanti and a
catalyst for the vibrant community of small mouth bass anglers and river enthusiasts. The second film, “The
Making of Mill Creek Park” celebrates the restoration of Mill Creek from a stagnant pond into a free-flowing
stream thanks to a dam removal. “Paddling the Huron River Water Trail” highlights the different personalities of
the Huron River that await paddlers - from the “up north” feel to the city experience to the Great Lake Erie.
