Michigan Department of Transportation Maintenance Coordinator Eric Precord designed a new filter system to help limit the amount of litter from the stormwater drainage system in Rogers City,deposited into Lake Huron. Precord said his design was fabricated in Alpena and installed Friday.
ROGERS CITY — A collaborative effort between the Michigan Department of Transportation and the environmental non-profit group Great Lakes Great Responsibility may improve the health of Lake Huron near Rogers City.
The city was selected as the first in the region to utilize a new stormwater filter on its main stormwater outlet. The filter is expected to capture trash and debris from the ground and prevent it from moving through the storm drain system and into the lake.
