Great Lakes Basin Program for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control 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 soil erosion and sedimentation control demonstration, technical assistance, and education 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.

Local Partners Developing partnerships at the local level has been a key to the success of the Great Lakes Tributary Modeling Program, a joint initiative between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Great Lakes Region) and the Great Lakes states. The Corps continues to seek ways in which local partnerships can be improved and strengthened to promote sound soil and water conservation practices that result in improved water quality and other ecosystem benefits at the watershed level.
