Environmental Programs at GVMC
GVMC’s Department of Environmental Programs was formed in the fall of 2013. The main work was focused on facilitating the NPDES Stormwater permits for GVMC communities and overseeing the efforts of the Lower Grand River Organization of Watersheds (LGROW). Since then, several staff and positions have been added and now the Environmental Programs employ a Director, a Stormwater Program Coordinator, an Outreach and GIS Coordinator, an Environmental Programs Associate, an Aquatics Specialist, an Urban Waters Ambassador, and seasonal interns. Our work is funded through service fees for facilitating the stormwater permits and educational programming, LGROW donations, and grants. The staff has elevated our department’s presence on social media and has been able to reach the far corners of the watershed and VMC’s service area. See below for more detailed information about our work and our partnerships.
