Responsibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UM-Flint is fortunate to be located adjacent to the Flint River in Downtown Flint in the Flint River Watershed. The community is home to many who recognize the Flint River as one of our community&#8217;s great assets and are committed to protecting and improving this resource for all to enjoy. Historically, the post-industrial environmental conditions resulting from extensive industrial activity over the last hundred years pose an ongoing challenge to our community and to watershed management. These historical industrial activities included lumber, carriage &amp; auto manufacturing and repair, energy generation, and others. Although we have faced challenges to protecting and improving water quality in our watershed, many committed, longstanding partnerships have developed and work together to revitalize, restore, and enhance our community\u2019s greatest natural resource, the Flint River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UM-Flint is one of many committed organizations in Flint and Genesee County working to protect the Flint River. The University\u2019s implementation of the U-M Storm Water Management Program, the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures Plan, Contractor &amp; Construction Safety requirements, and the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan are programs that work to protect the Flint River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Improving the protection and management of stormwater helps ensure that surface water quality is improved and maintained. That means cleaner water for all of our children and us to fish, swim, kayak, canoe, and generally enjoy. We all can work together toward this important vision and protect one of our communities\u2019 greatest shared assets\u2026 the Flint River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">What is a Watershed, and how does it work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/nps\/watershed-approach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">watershed<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;is the area of land where all the water that runs over it or drains off it goes into the same place. The City of Flint is part of the Flint River Watershed and any water that runs off from any portion of the University property or City eventually flows into the Flint River. University of Michigan-Flint is focused on protecting storm drains from all contaminants and preventing the runoff of sediment and pollutants into navigable waters such as the Flint River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more about the<strong>&nbsp;FLINT RIVER WATERSHED and HOW IT WORKS<\/strong>&nbsp;by visiting the&nbsp;<a

By improving our collective efforts in stormwater management, we can prevent downstream flooding, streambank erosion, increased turbidity, habitat destruction, changes in streamflow, sewer overflow, infrastructure damage, and contamination of aquifers, streams, rivers, and our Irreplaceable Great Lakes. Additionally, we can preserve our rivers and lakes for safe and enjoyable recreation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">What is UM-Flint doing to improve water quality?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The State of Michigan issued the University of Michigan a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ehs.umich.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/NPDESMI0053902.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System<\/a>&nbsp;permit authorizing stormwater discharges from its municipal separate storm sewer systems to waters of the State.
