The U.S. Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 has made a status report on an international plan to manage water quality and habitat of Lake Erie available to the public. The report reviews progress towards identifying problems, objectives, and solutions for Lake Erie. It was produced in partnership with the Federal governments of Canada and United States, Province of Ontario, and States of Michigan, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, which are working on the overall plan.

The Lake Erie Lakewide Management Plan is an international plan engineered to provide a framework for agencies, organizations, and individuals to coordinate their activities aimed at improving the environmental quality of Lake Erie. In September 1994, government leaders of Canada and US endorsed development of this plan under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, a treaty outlining stewardship of the Great Lakes Basin. Copies of the status report and other Lake Erie reports are available at www.epa.gov/lakeerie/.
