MiCorps Member Organizations

MiCorps member organizations represent a select group of monitoring programs in Michigan. They have met MiCorps-established quality assurance and operating procedures criteria and, as such, are eligible to receive a variety of benefits. These benefits include 1) access to the wide array of MiCorps resources and monitoring expertise; 2) recognition as a state leader; and 3) permission to enter monitoring data into our data exchange platform which is accessable by the monitoring community and the general public. The data is also used by the DEQ as a screening tool to identify sites requiring a more detailed assessment and as supplemental data for DEQ water resources management programs. If you are interested in registering your organization for MiCorps membership, please visit our Registry page.
