BY: Bill Bullard, Jr., District #2, Thomas F. Middleton, District #4
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT DESIGNATING LAKE ST. CLAIR AS A GREAT
LAKE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Great Lakes -- Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario - and their connecting
channels form the largest fresh surface water system on Earth; and
WHEREAS the Great Lakes, in their current state, are one of the youngest natural features on the North
American continent. Covering more than 94,000 square miles and draining more than twice as much
land, these freshwater seas hold an estimated 6 quadrillion gallons of water, about one-fifth of the world's
fresh surface water supply and nine-tenths of the U.S. supply; and
WHEREAS the channels that connect the Great Lakes are an important part of the system. One of the
channels is Lake St. Clair. This body of water is a 26-mile long lake north of Detroit between Lakes Huron
and Erie, with the United States on the west and Canada on the east. Lake St. Clair plays a vital role in
the Great Lakes system; and
WHEREAS the Great Lakes system, including Lake St. Clair, greatly affects our way of life, as well as all
aspects of the natural environment, from weather and climate, to wildlife and habitat; and
WHEREAS Lake St. Clair supplies drinking water to 6 million U.S. and Canadian citizens and has a direct
effect on the water flowing downstream into lakes Erie and Ontario. It is the most productive sportfishery
in the Great Lakes and is one of the most heavily used portions of the Great Lakes for recreational
boating; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. January 30, 2003

WHEREAS backers of a proposal to designate Lake St. Clair in Michigan, as the sixth Great Lake hope
support from the Great Lakes Commission, a binational public agency that promotes the use,
management and protection of the lakes, to adopt a resolution urging Congress to make Lake St. Clair
the "sixth Great Lake" and if designated as a Great Lake it would qualify for federal grants for pollution
and other problems; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognizes that Lake St. Clair has been
plagued with beach closings, sewage overflows, invasive species, toxic contamination and other ills. For
far too long a period of time, these environmental hazards have been overlooked when it came to
restoring and protecting the water resources of the Great Lakes; and
WHEREAS a Great Lakes status could bring more federal funding to the long-polluted lake and will help
remedy that oversight and ensure that the lake is a healthy and productive resource for the millions who
rely on this invaluable resource for their drinking water.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
supports the designation of Lake St. Clair as a Great Lake and urges the United States Congress to
designate Lake St. Clair as the sixth Great Lake.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this adopted resolution be forwarded to the Governor of the
State of Michigan, the Oakland County delegation to the state and federal legislatures, the Michigan
Association of Counties, the Great Lakes Commission and Oakland County’s legislative lobbyists.
