Physical Limnology of Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron
PHYSICAL LIMNOLOGY OF SAGINAW BAY, LAKE HURON ALFRED M. BEETON U. S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory Ann Arbor, Michigan STANFORD H. SMITH U. S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory Ann Arbor, Michigan and FRANK H. HOOPER Institute for Fisheries Research Michigan Department of Conservation Ann Arbor, Michigan GREAT LAKES FISHERY COMMISSION 1451 GREEN ROAD ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN SEPTEMBER, 1967 PHYSICAL LIMNOLOGY OF SAGINAW BAY, LAKE HURON1 Alfred M. Beeton, 2 Stanford H. Smith, and Frank F. Hooper3 ABSTRACT Water temperature and the distribution of various chemicals measured during surveys from June 7 to October 30, 1956, reflect a highly variable and rapidly changing circulation in Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. The circula- tion is influenced strongly by local winds and by the stronger circulation of Lake Huron which frequently causes injections of lake water to the inner extremity of the bay. The circulation patterns determined at six times during 1956 reflect the general characteristics of a marine estuary of the northern hemisphere. The prevailing circulation was counterclockwise; the higher concentrations of solutes from the Saginaw River tended to flow and enter Lake Huron along the south shore; water from Lake Huron entered the northeast section of the bay and had a dominant influence on the water along the north shore of the bay. The concentrations of major ions varied little with depth, but a decrease from the inner bay toward Lake Huron reflected the dilution of Saginaw River water as it moved out of the bay. Concentrations in the outer bay were not much greater than in Lake Huronproper. -

Fraser Township
Fraser Township Community Description Fraser Township is located on Saginaw Bay approximately 10 miles north of Bay City. It contains the northern portion of the community of Linwood. The Township lands are largely used for agricultural purposes. Large tracts of woodlands are located along M-13 which traverses the east side of the Township from north to south. According to the 2016 American Community Survey 5-year population estimate, Fraser Township has 3,145 people. Other significant demographic data for Fraser Township as compared to the county, state, and country is shown in Figure 31 below. It is worth noting that Frasier Township’s median age is higher than all other 99 | 2019 Bay County Area Recreation Plan communities in Bay County, except Merritt Township. It also has a very high percentage of owner occupied homes, at 93.8%.

Saginaw River Dredge Disposal Project at Saginaw Bay, Michigan
' SAGINAW RIVER DREDGE DISPOSAL PROJECT AT SAGINAW BAY, MICHIGAN FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FEBRUARY 1 ^4/ PREPARED BY U.S. ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT DETROIT, MICHIGAN STATEMENT OF FINDINGS PROPOSED DREDGE DISPOSAL FACILITY SAGINAW BAY, MICHIGAN I have reviewed and evaluated, in light of the overall public interest, the documents concerning the proposed action as well as the stated views of other interested agencies and the concerned public relative to the proposed dredge disposal fa cility at Saginaw Bay, Michigan. BACKGROUND Construction of the proposed facility is authorized by the River and Har bor Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-611, Section 123) which provides for the confined disposal of polluted materials resulting from maintenance dredg ing of Federal navigation projects. Additionally, in 1970, the Governor of Michigan requested that the Corps of Engineers cease returning polluted dredged materials to the waters of the Great Lakes in Michigan. As part of the planning process for the proposed fa cility, two workshops were con ducted at Bay City in March 1974. These meetings were attended by govern ment representatives, city representatives, environmental groups and the general public. The purpose of the meetings was to provide and exchange information relative to the alternatives being considered for siting the facility. As a result of information generated at the workshops and con tinued coordination with the State of Michiv,—., the Channel-Shelter Island location was selected. THE SELECTED PLAN -The proposed disposal site is located on the southeast side of the Federal navigation channel in Saginaw Bay, approximately two miles northeasterly from the mouth of the Saginaw River. -
Remedial Action Plan
Michigan Department of Natural Resources Remedial Action Plan for SAGINAW RIVER AND SAGINAW BAY Area of Concern September 1988 Michigan Department of Natural Resources Surface Water Quality Division Great Lakes and Environmental 'Assessment Section P.O. Box 30028 Lansing, Michigan 48909 PREFACE This Saginaw RiverIBay Remedial Action Plan (RAP) was prepared by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) from a first draft compiled for MDNR by the East Central Michigan Planning and Development Region, the National Wildlife Federation, and graduate students from the University of Michigan. The Remedial Action Section was prepared by MDNR and a regional public organization known as the Saginaw Basin Natural Resources Steering Committee. Public and technical comment was received throughout the RAP development and review process as described in Section VI. The RAP summarizes existing water quality data on the Saginaw Bay drainage basin and outlines initial perceptions of the remedial actions that should be taken to further address the eutrophication and toxic material problems in the Saginaw River and Saginaw Bay. The remedial actions presented here will be further refined in future versions of the RAP, which it is anticipated, will be periodically updated and revised as more data are acquired, remedial measures are implemented, and environmental conditions improve. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS An extensive list of people and agencies contributed a great deal of time and effort to develop this plan. The complete list is too extensive to present -
Total Maximum Daily Load for Polychlorinated Biphenyls for the Kawkawlin River Bay County, Michigan
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Surface Water Quality Division August 2002 Total Maximum Daily Load for Polychlorinated Biphenyls for the Kawkawlin River Bay County, Michigan INTRODUCTION Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA’s) Water Quality Planning and Management Regulations (Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 130) require states to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for waterbodies that are not meeting Water Quality Standards (WQS). The TMDL process establishes the allowable loadings of a pollutant to a waterbody based on the relationship between pollutant sources and in-stream water quality conditions. TMDLs provide states a basis for determining the pollutant reduction necessary from both point and/or nonpoint sources to maintain and/or restore the quality of their water resources. This TMDL follows a phased approach due to inherent uncertainties in deriving numeric targets and estimating loadings from nonpoint sources. Under the phased approach, load allocations (LAs) and waste load allocations (WLAs) are calculated using the best available data and information, recognizing the need for additional monitoring data to determine if the load reductions required by the TMDL result in WQS attainment. The phased approach provides for the implementation of the TMDL, while additional data are collected to reduce uncertainty. The purpose of this TMDL is to establish appropriate levels for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the Kawkawlin River that will result in WQS attainment. PROBLEM STATEMENT The TMDL reach of the Kawkawlin River, a warmwater designated waterbody, is located in Bay County and extends 5 miles upstream from the Saginaw Bay confluence (Figure 1). -
