About our program:

The Great Lakes Basin Program for Soil
Erosion and Sediment Control is all about making a difference—in
water quality, land use, and agricultural productivity. Initiated in
1991 and authorized in the 2002 Farm Bill, this federal/state partnership
has supported well over 200 demonstration and technical assistance projects
throughout the Great Lakes region. The Basin Program is coordinated
by the Great Lakes Commission
in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Natural Resources
Conservation Service), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The Great Lakes Soil Erosion and Sedimentation
Task Force oversees the program and ensures that goals
and objectives are met. Task force members include representatives from the
eight Great Lakes states, the partner agencies and other federal and regional
interests.
In taking action to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation,
the Great Lakes Basin Program protects the water quality of the Great Lakes!
