Upper Clinton Subwatershed Planning Process

Work on the Upper Clinton subwatershed management plan began in 2003. For the next two years, communities and stakeholders continued collaboration by completing individual components of the subwatershed management plan. This hard work culminated in the finalizing of the subwatershed management plan in November 2005. Since that time, local governments, community leaders, citizens’ groups, businesses, and environmental organizations have worked together to implement the Upper Clinton subwatershed management plan.
