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.
