Developing projects to carry out the plan will be the role <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Portage</strong> <strong>River</strong> Basin <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
Stakeholder involvement in the <strong>Council</strong> brings local resources that will make effective projects:<br />
ideas and local contacts, public outreach, data, and matching funds or in‐kind services for grant<br />
applications.<br />
Restoring water quality impairments in the <strong>Portage</strong> <strong>River</strong> watersheds will protect public health<br />
by reducing pathogens in the river, improve the river’s water quality, reduce nutrient loadings<br />
that result in toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie, protect the river’s natural beauty, and enhance<br />
recreation along the <strong>Portage</strong>.<br />
