About Us

CLEAR GRAND is a cooperative effort to keep the water clean in Grand Lake, the Grand Neosho River, and all the other lakes and streams that lie upstream of Grand Lake. 

This effort is headed by the Water Quality Division of the Oklahoma Conservation Commission.  This project has multiple partners including the US Environmental Protection Agency, Grand Lake Association, Conservations Districts (Mayes, Ottawa, Craig, and Delaware), Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oklahoma State University, OSU Cooperative Extension  (Mayes, Ottawa, Craig, and Delaware), many agencies in Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas, AND YOU (the public), to name a few.

This project is 60% funded by Federal Clean Water Act, Section 319 allocation through the US Environmental Protection Agency, with 40% matching contributions from the State of Oklahoma and other funds.
