  • THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION of ATMOSPHERIC PRECIPITATION from SELECTED STATIONS in MICHIGAN CURTIS J. RICHARDSON, Resource Ecology
    THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF ATMOSPHERIC PRECIPITATION FROM SELECTED STATIONS IN MICHIGAN CURTIS J. RICHARDSON, Resource Ecology, School of Natural Resources, University of Michigan; and GEORGE E. MERVA, Department of Agricultural Engineering, Michigan State University. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Financial support for this study was provided by the Michigan State University Department of Agricultural Engineering and an NSF-RANN (project GI-34898) to The University of Michigan. We wish to thank M. Quade, Y. Wang, and J. Kruse for precipi- tation chemistry. D. Kiel and W. B. Rockwell were invaluable in the areas of computer management and statistical analyses. Cooperation of the Michigan Department of Health, The Michigan State Climatologists, The University of Michigan's Biological Station and School of Public Health, and the many wastewater treatment plant operators without whose help this report would not be possible, is gratefully acknowledged. ABSTRACT The pH and amount of rainfall from over 60 selected stations throughout northern and lower Michigan was determined from September 1972 to December 1974. Precipitation pH was determined for each station by calibrated electrode meters. The seasonal weighted average and median pH from all stations in the study was 5.0 and 6.3, respectively. Daily readings from stations throughout Michigan indicate that pH is dependent on the amount of rainfall and that variations in it are often locally controlled. Collectively the pH values suggest car- bonic acid control for most of the state. Annual median pH varied from a high of 8.45 at Dimondale, a station located 1.5 km from a concrete tile plant in central Michigan to 4.65 at Vassar, a small town located east of several industrial centers in the thumb region of the state.

  • MDOT) Plays a Vital Role in This Effort
    2017 Dear Citizen: Creating and retaining jobs in Michigan is a top priority for state government. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) plays a vital role in this effort. Businesses rely on transportation systems to move people and goods. States that have safe, reliable and efficient transportation systems have a competitive advantage over other states in retaining businesses and attracting new ones. Michigan always has prided itself on its roads and highways. The simple truth, however, is that we cannot maintain our road system at present revenue levels. When adjusted for inflation, our current level of investment is about what it was 20 years ago. Today, MDOT is smaller and leaner, and innovative “best practices” have helped stretch hard-earned taxpayer dollars, but these efforts alone are insufficient to generate the amount of money needed to repair our roads and highways. To create job growth in Michigan - and keep our children from having to leave the state to find work - more investment is needed in other transportation modes as well. These include our airports, local public transit systems, freight rail and Great Lakes ports, all vital movers of people and goods. Young people especially are seeking other means of transportation, such as bus rapid transit, commuter rail and accelerated passenger rail. They also are interested in walkable, bike- friendly urban areas. All of this requires additional investment. Investing in our state’s transportation system, though, directly creates thousands of jobs and promotes private sector job creation. Whatever the level of resources, MDOT’s goal always is to build and maintain the best possible transportation system in Michigan.

Fort St. Joseph was built at the location by the French in 1686. Fort St. Joseph guarded the upper end of the St. Clair River, the vital waterway joining Lake Erie and Lake Huron. Intended by the French to bar English traders from the upper lakes. In 1688, the French abandoned the fort. The site was incorporated into Fort Gratiot in 1814 following the War of 1812 by the United States, and the area later became Port Huron. The City of Port Huron was incorporated in 1857, and its population grew rapidly after the 1850s due to a high rate of immigration attracted by the successful shipbuilding and lumber trade.

    MEMORANDUM DATE: November 27, 2019 TO: Members of the Michigan Legislature FROM: Jeff Mason President, Michigan Strategic Fund SUBJECT: 2018 Michigan Renaissance Zone Annual Report Section 15 of Public Act 376 of 1996, the Michigan Renaissance Zone Act, requires an annual report be submitted to the legislature. Pursuant to this requirement, attached is the 2018 annual report. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact our Office of Government Relations at 517.335.1847. Attachment Michigan Renaissance Zone Act 2018 Legislative Report The Michigan Renaissance Zone Act (the “Act”), P.A. 376 of 1996, established the Michigan Renaissance Zone initiative to foster economic opportunities in the state; facilitate economic development; stimulate industrial, commercial and residential improvements; prevent physical and infrastructure deterioration of defined areas; and provide for the reuse of unproductive or abandoned industrial properties. Most state and local taxes, including both real and personal property tax, are abated within Renaissance Zones for a specified number of years. Michigan Business Tax liability is excused for company operations within a Renaissance Zone; however, Corporate Income Tax liability is not eligible for abatement under the program. Federal government taxes, local bond obligations, school sinking fund, or special assessments may still be due. Additionally, companies are not exempt from paying Michigan sales and use taxes. The tax benefits are phased out in 25% increments during the Zone’s final three years of existence. All awards that expired, were revoked or otherwise ended will be removed from future reports. The State of Michigan reimburses intermediate school districts, local school districts, community college districts, and public libraries for lost revenue where taxes are abated.

Midland has evolved from an Indian village to the "City of Science and Culture." Midland's Wayfinding Signage The City of Midland was incorporated in 1887; three years later, a young electrochemical pioneer named Herbert Henry Dow arrived in Midland, attracted by the area’s plentiful brine wells, and subsequently founded The Dow Chemical Company. The growth and success of Dow has enabled Midland to become a cultural melting pot, attracting the minds of science, technology and innovation from around the globe.

  • Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
    35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.
