Program Update...Shedding Light on the Flat River Watershed

Aaron Snell presented the report on the Flat River Watershed Management Project from Streamside Ecological Services. Here are some highlights from his presentation:

• The Flat River watershed covers 564 square miles in 4 counties and 26 townships.
• The project was an assessment of this watershed. It was completed and submitted to the DEQ and EPA. Both agencies approved the assessment plan.
• They learned the good and the bad of the streams and rivers that flow through this watershed. On a positive note, there is prime farmland, public recreation areas and fisheries. There are also threatened and endangered species present in the watershed. Unfortunately, there are contaminants in the watershed. The E. coli bacteria exists with levels that exceed water quality standards for body contact.
• The group is offering recommendations including changing policies, incorporating physical work and educating the community. The next steps are to continue presenting this information and applying for funds to make the watershed the best it can be.

Some numbers matter to Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio more than others. Three Big Ten championships in the last six seasons, three divisional titles, three straight top-six national rankings, nine consecutive bowl appearances with victories in four of the last five, one College Football Playoff bid, five former MSU players projected to go in the first three rounds of the 2016 NFL draft and No. 16 (Bennie Fowler) playing for Denver in Sunday’s Super Bowl are meaningful. Whether Michigan State’s 2016 recruiting class is subjectively rated among the Top 10 or in the upper 20s – the wildly inconclusive range currently in play – not so much.
