Environmental Bond For Michigan
The Michigan DEQ may propose a $1.3 billion environmental bond that would help remediate and preserve land, and restore Great Lakes water quality. The proposal may go to vote in November, and the DEQ is making its case to interest groups before June legislative action.
The plan calls for $820 million to go toward contaminated sites. $390 million of the bond issue would also go toward water protection and restoration. Programs would be put into place to help combat aquatic invasive species, restore habitat, and remove contaminated sediment, address toxic pollutants and monitor water quality.
