Middle Cuyahoga River Watershed

Purpose of Plan

The purpose of the watershed plan is to build a framework for the long-term protection and improvement of the Middle Cuyahoga River, its tributaries, and watershed. A major focus of Watershed Action Plan is to achieve the goal of the Clean Water Act, i.e., to restore and protect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation’s waters.  The Plan addresses water quality as a function of the interrelated elements of a stream system.  The Plan describes the framework that the partners are adopting to ensure the plan is implemented.
