  Michele Arquette-Palermo, a watershed education and stewardship director for the Clinton River Watershed Council, also attended the Lansing conference. She said the watershed council is interested in having several restoration projects in Oakland County and the lakes area funded through federal dollars.
  
  "We will hear by September what money will be available," she said.

  "It may not seem like a lot if it's just one homeowner, but if you multiply that by all of the people who live in the most populated watershed in the state," it has a big impact, said Michelle Arquette-Palermo, watershed education and stewardship director for the CRWC.
  ...
  The watershed extends as far south as Oak Park, and up into St. Clair County in the northeast for a total of 760 square miles, Arquette-Palermo said.
  
  "Many people don't realize what the watershed is," she said.
  ...
  "If we don't properly maintain our lawns and practice best water maintenance, it can pollute our river," Arquette-Palermo said.
  
  That's the idea behind the free CRWC workshop Oct. 9. Participants will learn about the little things they can do to make a difference.
  
  The CRWC recommends residents use a slow-release fertilizer or one that contains little to no phosphorus, since phosphorus is a major pollutant. It's also found in the soil, so an unhealthy lawn with exposed dirt patches can be just as bad for the environment, Arquette-Palermo said.
  ...
  "You don't need to be radical, but we can show people how to balance native plantings and water beds along with a nice healthy lawn to get a beautiful landscape," Arquette-Palermo said.

  "Assessing the health of the creeks and rivers in the Clinton River watershed is a pretty big task," said Michelle Arquette-Palermo, a watershed education and stewardship director for the watershed council.
  
  According to Arquette-Palermo, the land that drains into the Clinton River covers 760 square miles and includes more than 1,000 miles of streams, in addition to the 80-mile-long main branch of the river.
  
  "We live in the most populous watershed in Michigan, and we're still growing," she said. "As our population grows, the potential for complex water quality issues in our watershed also grows.
  
  "Volunteers are teamed up, assigned stream sites, given equipment, data sheets, and a collection protocol, and then sent out to gather information on stream habitats, physical/chemical characteristics, and macroinvertebrate populations," Arquette-Palermo said.
  
  Volunteers visit their monitoring sites in May and October and collect all the necessary data.
  
  According to Arquette-Palermo, all it takes to volunteer is time to attend one three-hour training session and another three to four hours per year.
  
  The data collected by the volunteers is used by the watershed council, municipalities and the state to assess the health of area streams and rivers, and to make decisions regarding their protection and restoration.
  
  "You can volunteer in the area where you work or where you live," Arquette-Palermo said.
