Who is responsible for Wellhead Protection?
Michigan’s WHPP is a voluntary program, so it is the community that is responsible for establishing their program. This does not mean that they have to do it all on their own. There are many people and agencies that are more than willing to help communities get their programs started. Many of the communities that already have their WHPP up and running are willing and able to share pointers about tricky areas and other helpful tips. Other agencies willing to help are the MDEQ, MSU, and MDA.
