Under the federal Water Pollution Control Act and the Clean
Air Act, SEMCOG is the designated planning agency for both water
and air quality.
The Information Center contains a publications database of all
current SEMCOG reports. Residents interested in improving the
region's air and water quality have access to the Ozone Action
and Ours to Protect programs. This is also the place to come
for carpooling and vanpooling opportunities.

Department of Environmental Quality Water Programs establish
water quality standards, assess water quality, provide regulatory
oversight for all public water supplies, issue permits to regulate
the discharge of industrial and municipal wastewaters, monitor
State Water resources for water quality, the quantity and quality
of aquatic habitat, the health of aquatic communities, and compliance
with state laws.
Water Quality Awareness Month Summer is inching
closer and Macomb County has beautiful lakes, rivers and streams
for all residents to enjoy. Unfortunately, polluted runoff from
everyday household activities is a major source of contamination.
Visit the Macomb County website for information on how to protect
our environment.
