Steering Committee Meeting Summaries:

Three Subcommittees have also been formed for this project:

Background Information Collection

A bibliography of watershed specific information has been compiled and is periodically updated.
Online resources specific to the St. Joseph River Watershed are available through the Links Page.

Certain attributes of the watershed are mapped on an interactive GIS Applet. This page will take some time to download on a slow modem. It will open in a new browser window

Watershed Designated Uses

The Steering Committee identified Watershed Concerns and the designated uses that those concerns have the potential to impair. The Watershed has been divided into five River Valley Segments for the development of the designated use tables. For more information, see this website's Designated Uses Page.
