Source water protection program plans are developed, implemented, and submitted on a voluntary basis for community water systems by use of this process. This process can be used to submit a source water protection program plan for a system using a groundwater or surface water source. Please download either the surface water or ground water checklist to refer to as you complete the Source Water Protection Plan to be sure all information required for plan approval is included. Next, attach a PDF of the source water protection program plan and submit to EGLE for review. Your program plan will either be approved, or revisions will be requested if applicable. There is also an option to withdraw an activity or submittal. If you need assistance or have questions, contact Jason Berndt. Use the Messages pane in MiEHDWIS to send a message, or contact by phone or email: 517-203-9631 or BerndtJ1@Michigan.gov.
