• Groundwater Conservation Advisory Council Update
The Groundwater Conservation Advisory Council submitted a final report to the Legislature in July, 2007. That report completed the tasks assigned to the Council by Public Acts 148 of 2003 and 34 of 2006. As a result, the Council was eliminated by Executive Order 2007 - 8, also in July, 2007.

Partially as a result of the work of the Groundwater Conservation Advisory Council, the Michigan Legislature passed a series of amendments to Michigan's water withdrawal management statutes in June, 2008. These amendments were signed into law by Governor Jennifer Granholm as Public Acts 178 to 189 of 2008. Public Act 189 of 2008 amends Part 328 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to create the Water Resources Advisory Council within the Department of Natural Resources.

The Water Resources Advisory Council is given specific tasks to help improve Michigan's water withdrawal management framework. Information on this new Advisory Council is available at Water Resources Advisory Council on the Michigan Department of Natural Resources web site.
