Saginaw County dikes threaten Shiawassee River

Erosion of dikes along a 4 mile section of drain in Albee Township threatens the river.
The drainage district faces a potential lawsuit if someone got hurt and the erosion is an environmental hazard.
Sediment is swept into the drain and eventually into the Shiawassee River and out to the Saginaw Bay.

Trying something new here , setting up a discussion board for the free flow of ideas, topics, concerns, etc.

For starters I listed some launch and take out sites near the Head Waters of the Shiawassee River.

Perhaps you know some more, have a favorite, wish something were different................
