Install green infrastructure at two locations in Elk Rapids Village on Grand Traverse Bay in Lake Michigan to reduce stormwater runoff into the lake. Project will add one million gallons of stormwater storage annually, reduce sources of water quality impairment typically found in stormwater (such as toxins, pathogens, nutrients and sediments), and enhance long-term partnerships to catalyze future installation efforts around the bay.
