Kurt
Erichsen is a Top Environmentalist
(To the tune of A Modern Major General.
Lyrics by Lucas County Commissioner Carol Contrada)
Kurt is the very model of a top
environmentalist
He knows the rivers, streams and creeks on Erie Basin’s waters list
With wit and humor on display Kurt is a master cartoonist
In theater and drama he’s a leading musicologist
He knows the rivers, streams and creeks on Erie Basin’s waters list
With wit and humor on display Kurt is a master cartoonist
In theater and drama he’s a leading musicologist
…..
For future planning we recall the work of student watershed
For permitting and grantsmanship he’s always been so far ahead
He’s very good at navigating wetlands fens and foggy bog
And formulating policies for regions part of TMACOG.
For future planning we recall the work of student watershed

And formulating policies for regions part of TMACOG.
And formulating policies for regions part of TMA-TMA-COG.

Kurt recognizes nutrients from nitrogen
to phosphorus
For farms and towns Kurt’s management
has been the best for all of us
In legislative policy we have a master diplomat
In academic scholarship he is a
thoughtful advocate
He’s very good at understanding government

In fact the regulations may have led to
his retirement
Remediation challenges are topics which
Kurt truly knows
From toxic loads to climate change and
even those darn CSO’s
Chorus:
From toxic loads to
climate change and even those darn CSO’s
From toxic loads to
climate change and even those darn CSO’s
From toxic loads to

He can tell you every detail hidden deep

For clean water Kurt brings knowledge,
thoughtfulness and expertise,
He’s technical and practical for
agriculture’s BMP’s
He doesn’t let bureaucracy or red tape complicate
his way,
Not even from NRCS or the federal EPA
In summary Kurt forged the path for
stewardship and management
Agenda for Lake Erie is a pinnacle
accomplishment

You’ve raised the bar and left us with a
strong enduring legacy

You’ve raised the bar and left us with a strong
enduring legacy
You’ve raised the bar and left us with a strong

You’ve raised the bar and left us with a strong
enduring lega lega cy
From Ottawa to Portage to Sandusky and

We wish you well, will miss you much,
loved working with you every day

Chorus:
In short in matters 208 Plan, watershed analysis
Kurt is the very model of a top environmentalist
Kurt is the very model of a top environmentalist
