Governor Whitmer Announces $89 Million for Detroit and Kalamazoo River Cleanup
Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced an $89 million 'Reclaiming the Rivers' program aimed at cleaning up pollution in the Detroit and Kalamazoo rivers. The funding originates from a Monsanto PCB settlement secured by Attorney General Dana Nessel and a separate settlement related to a 2019 Kalamazoo sediment release. Of the total, $50 million is allocated to address sediment contamination in the Detroit River, $25 million will fund restoration efforts within the Kalamazoo watershed, and $14 million will establish a statewide fund for additional projects.
