| The Alliance of Downriver Watershed (ADW) members
have been formally and informally working together for several years to manage the area’s
water resources on a watershed basis and to comply with federal regulations regarding the discharge
of storm water. The ADW is a permanent watershed organization formed under Public Act 517 of the
Public Laws of 2004. The ADW was formed in January 2007 and consists of 23 public agencies in the
Ecorse Creek, Combined Downriver, and Lower Huron River Watersheds in southeast Michigan.
The agencies and communities that comprise the ADW believe there are substantial benefits that
can be derived by joining together and cooperatively managing the rivers, lakes, and streams
within the watersheds and in providing mutual assistance in meeting state water discharge permit
requirements of the members.
