The Rouge River Remedial Action Plan

The Rouge River Remedial Action Plan (RAP) is a long-term cleanup plan for the River. The Rouge RAP notes the problems in the Rouge, identifies the causes and sources of pollutants of concern, and determines what actions are needed to correct the problems to prevent future ones. In Michigan, the Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) is responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of the Rouge RAP and is a major team member in conducting the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project.

Public involvement is a cornerstone of the RAP process and as a result the Rouge RAP Advisory Council (RRAC) was formed for advising the MDEQ on the update and implementation of the Rouge RAP. Six subcommittees address issues of concern: Habitat and Wildlife, Pollution Prevention, Finance, Public Education, and Watershed Management. For information, contact Allison McCormick, RRAC Assistant, (734) 432-1291.
