~ The meeting convened at 7:30 p.m. GOVERNOR'S REPORT TO THE PEOPLE The Commission watched Governor Milliken's television presentation to the people on Michigan's economy and budget. (Copy on file with Executive Assistant.) PONTIAC LAKE Director Tanner provided the Commission with a letter regarding Senator Kammer's request of February 16, requesting specific information concerning the Pontiac Lake situation. Director Tanner shared with the Commission: 1) a summary of events; 2) a chronology of events: 3) a discussion of aeration responsibility; and 4) a documentation of fish loss and a restocking reevaluation. He indicated to the Commission he had reviewed the possibility of bringing suit to recover damages and to determine whether or not the Oakland County Drain Commission would be liable. He futher indicated that staff had discussed the merits of both with the Department of Attorney General and had been advised that, while there were legal theories that one might use to institute a claim, the facts presented to date with respect to the role of the Drain Commissioner were not persuasive enough that the Department should seek legal action to recover damages. "

Director Tanner indicated • that he intended to continue discussion of the fish management plan with the Commission in the immediate future. He advised that once the Department had completed its deliberations, he would respond to the Senator and he intended to encourage the involvement of the local citizens and interested organizations of the Pontiac Lake community through public discussion of the restocking plan. Following considerable discussion between the Commission and staff, the question of responding to the Senator's request· to meet privately with the Commission came up. After discussion as to whether or not it would be legal for the Commission to meet privately, as suggested by the Senator, Commissioner Wolfe, supported by Commissioner Younglove, moved that the Commission should meet in open session with Senator Kammer unless assured by the Attorney General Office that the Commission could meet privately as a quorum within the legality of the Open Meetings Act. The motion carried by voice vote. SAND DUNE PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT ACT - PETITION OF MARTIN-MARIETTA AGGREGATES - Cause No. 79-2-222 Executive Assistant Robertson indicated that Assistant Attorney General John Wernet had recommended that he meet with the Commission with reference to ongoing litigation regarding Petition of Martin-Marietta ( Aggregates - Cause No. 79-2-222. Commissioner Younglove, supported by Commissioner Wendler, moved that • the Natural Resources Commission go into closed session pursuant to the Open Meetings Act at 9:00 a.m., Thursday, March 11, for the purpose of discussing with their legal counsel the Petition of Martin-Marietta Aggregates.

MARTIN-MARIETTA AGGREGATES PETITION The Natural Resources Commission met in closed session regarding the Sand Dunes Protection and Management Act - Petition of Martin-Marietta Aggregates - Clause No. 79-2-222.
Acting Chairman Laitala called the regular monthly meeting of the Natural Resources Commission to order at 10:10 a.m. STAFF REPORTS AIR POLLUTION CONTROL COMMISSION REPORT Robert Miller, Chief, Air Quality Division, presented the Air Pollution Control Commission (APCC) Report (Copy on file with Executive Assistant.) The APCC passed a resolution directing staff to initiate administrative proceedings for revocation of the permit to install and denial of the permit to operate the Liquid Disposal facility in Shelby Township. The Attorney General's Office will report this action to the Judge who has jurisdiction over the case, before beginning administrative action. The APCC approved the permit, with conditions resulting from concerns expressed at public hearings, for General Motors Corporation, Chevrolet Motor Division in Bay City, to burn PCB contaminated waste oil in their boiler. - Miller reported on amendments proposed to the Federal Clean Air Act. The Commission asked to become more involved when important revisions tb legislation are being considered. Assistant Director Cleary said a process needs to be developed to make sure the Commission is aware of, and has opportunity for, input into proposed legislation. A legislative package could be put together and status reports developed. Miller will provide detailed information on the Clean Air Act amendment proposals to the Commission during this meeting. Commissioner Hoefer said that comparisons should be made with the regulations of surrounding'states, as there is merit in uniformity. Miller discussed gas sweetening facilities. Staff is encouraging companies to consolidate and utilize larger facflities to serve several wells more efficiently. Discussion followed on the sour gas odor problems at Petrotech in Ingham County. LIBERALIZED SALMON FISHING John A. Scott, Chief, Fisheries DiviSion, presented the ideas, activities, conclusions and recommendations of the Liberalized Salmon Fishing Task Force. Recommendations on fisheries management include: Minutes March 11-12, 1982 Page 3
elimination of liberalized salmon fishing for the 1981 season on the Grand, St. Joseph and Kalamazoo Rivers; that the Legislature should not be asked to fund an economic study until after the task force reviews availab1e economic data and finds it inadequate for purposes of their deliberations; endorsement of the continued closure of the St. Joseph, Kalamazoo and Grand Rivers for 1982 to liberalized salmon fish and reopening of the Sable River to foul-hooking; and recommends no further action on snagging closures until review of results of this year; that the task force remain active to provide advice on future contemplated changes in the liberalized salmon fishing rules. Commissioner Snell said the task of providing an economic impact study shoul d be dealt with as the issue of economi cs wi 11 always be an excuse to continue snagging. Commissioner Wendler expressed concern about the Department1s change in position from a solid stand against snagging; this change in position does not solve the problems of the Department1s responsibility to protect the resource. Scott reported that the Department has "put on hold", rather than changed its position. He discussed the opinion surveys which were conducted on keeping snagging as is or expanding it--in contrast to those who want it reduced or eliminated. PUBLIC APPEARANCE Senator Kerry Kammer addressed the Commission on several matters involving ~' alleged unresponsiveness and ineptness by the Department. He mentioned several names of Department personnel and several situations as examples of this unresponsiveness and ineptness. Particular instances involved were the legislative liaison practices, the Weber landfill, air and water surveillance fees and most recently the Pontiac Lake fish kill. He charged that these incidents are reflective of an attitude of arrogance and deception and not in keeping with responsible administration. Director Tanner explained the events surrounding the Pontiac Lake issue and said the restocking plan will be as good as can be made. He advised he would conduct further analysis of the agency1s actions (including the Senator1s specific allegations and comments) for review by the Natural Resources Commission. The meeting recessed for lunch at 12:40 p.m.; reconvened at 1:30 p.m. WATERWAYS COMMISSION REPORT Keith Wilson, Chief, Waterways Division, presented the Waterways Commission Report (Copy on file with Executive Assistant.) Minutes March 11-12, 1982 Page 4
Wilson reported on the Reef Petroleum negotiations on the right-of-way at Greilickvil1e. After Reef's original offer of $70,000 for all rights connected to the premises, they conducted an appraisal specifically limited to the fee value of the property to be used for the right-of-way and no consideration was to be given to any values added to the Reef property by this right-of-entry. They reduced their offer to $30,000 for both the easement right and the submerged lands value of the property. The offer of Reef Petroleum was unanimously rejected by the Waterways Commission. The rental of Mackinac Island mooring facilities to the Chicago and Bayview Yacht Clubs for their 1982 races under the terms and conditions established in 1976 were approved at a rental fee of $1,808 for each race. The annual rental has been increased to reflect the increases in the Consumer Price Index. Wilson discussed the total seasonal use of Public Access Sites for 1981 taken from electronic vehicle detectors which were converted to estimates of vehicle entries, people, and boat launchings. The sample established that in 1981,11,068,000 people visited state sites, involving 3,967,000 vehicle entries and 1,064,441 launchings. Budget implications are that Waterways funds will be considerably reduced under recommended transportation tax proposals, Wilson reported. PUBLIC APPEARANCES Lena Reed, Constantine, requested the right to purchase the mineral rights on 160 acres of their property acquired by inheritance in Isabella County. She said the property is not saleable nOr can the land be used as collateral without the mineral rights. Jane Bower, Lands Division, provided background on the Commission policy that prohibits sale of these rights while there i$ interest in oil and gas development and this land is under current lease. The new policy that is under consideration would not change this aspect of the lease. Commissioner Snell said he is not inclined to change the policy as the Commission is responsible for protecting the public trust. Director Tanner said the Department must obey the law. When the State disposes of property and retains the mineral rights, it must provide for protection of the public trust in the minerals. Ron Nelson, Michigan Farm Bureau, distributed and discussed the 1982 Michigan Farm Bureau Policies. He outlined the policies addressing natural resources issues and the preservation of agricultural lands. One policy recommends that agricultural impact statements be required on projects involving agricultural areas. Minutes March ll-12~ 1982 Page 5
• James Ludwig~ Environmental Consultant, discussed 1600 acres of property on Lake Sixteen in Cheboygan County, part of which contains rare and threatened plants. His concerns centered around permit terms for the harvesting of peat in a bog in this area. One-half of the peat reserves are on state land and a proposal for exchange or leasing with royalties will come before the Commission. If work on this peat mining operation cannot begin in April~ the project will be delayed for at least one year and they may lose the investors. Dave Haywood, Land Resource Programs Di vi s i on, s ta ted these permits fa 11 under the Inland Lakes and Streams Act. The application has been processed, reviewed and the permit can be granted when the leasing with royalty or exchange is resolved. Bob Compeau, Assistant Deputy Director, stated that a third option might be a use permit during the interim. Staff met with Ludwig and representatives of the Black Forest Peat Company and the Michigan National Bank. Dave Haywood came back to the Commission with a compromise acceptable to both staff and the bank. The recommendation was to issue the permit as presently drafted involving the entire project with certain conditions. The bank and company involved would not enter upon State land pending the receipt of ownership interest or a lease. They would be a110wed~ through the issuance of a use permit, to do the monitoring required. The use permit is necessary for certain state lands for monitoring work. The bank would post a $100,000 performance bond to be used if something needs to, be restored or reclaimed. Staff will recommend that the Natural Resources Commission take positive action • on the permit and consumate the lease or exchange. Commissioner Hoefer~ supported by Commissioner Wolfe, moved that the Commission recommend to staff to enter into the agreement outlined by Haywood, relative to issuance of a permit to the Black Forest Peat Company. Haywood stated that the State might lose the opportunity to have the IIrarell area become state-owned, but the area itself would be protected. The motion carried by voice vote; Commissioner Snell abstained because of his interest in Michigan National Bank; Commissioner Whiteley absent. Carol Cain, Ludington Chamber of Commerce, thanked the Commission for allowing the snagging season for 1982 in the Ludington area. This helps promote tourism in the Mason County area and it provides six weeks of good business. Chuck Thompson, retail business operator Russ Anderson, Chairman, Mason County Board of Commissioners Blaine Bacon, City of Scottville These gentlemen voiced support for fouil-hook fishing. The fishermen bring money to Michigan from out of state. They requested the Commission to continue the liberalized salmon fishing season in Mason County beyond 1982. Minutes March 11-12, 1982 Page 6
Burt Carter, Mason County Fin and Feather Club, relayed his support forsa]mGln snagging. He read a letter stating that his club does • not concur with the Michigan United Conservation Club's stand in opposition to the foul hooking of salmon. He also offered suggestions on changing the hook size used to snag fish. Dean Raven, Scottville Chamber of Commerce, voiced appreciation for the Department of Natural Resources' recommendation for the continuance of the liberalized salmon fishing season on the AuSable and Pere Marquette Rivers for 1982. He related concern over economic conditions in the Scottville area. Raven expressed dissatisfaction over the Department having four representatives on the liberalized salmon fishing task force. Bob Maynard, Oceana County, discussed the big money involved in the salmon market. He commented on the egg buying and selling practices. Maynard read a letter from Representative Phil Arthurhultz supporting liberalized salmon fishing. Gordon Fuerstenau, Macomb County Soil Conservation District, voiced opposition to a proposed sanitary landfill in Richmond Township. There are other areas with suitable soil characteristics that would not constitute a loss of prime farmland in Macomb County. Fred Kellow, Chief, Resource Recovery Division, stated the Resource ~ Recovery Commission does not have authority over issuance or denial of Act 641 sanifar.Ylandfill licenses. Further, an application for this facility has not been received. Commissioner Hoefer agreed that it is unfortunate to take prime farmland out of use. FRED KELLOW TRIBUTE Chairman Laitala read a tribute to Fred Kellow who is retiring after 33 years of service. PUBLIC APPEARANCES Tom Washington, Executive Director, Michigan United Conservation Clubs, stressed it would be a mistake not to continue the progress made last year in phasing out snagging of salmon. He encouraged the Commission to close one additional stream, thereby taking one more step in the direction of ultimately eliminating snagging. He said there is no economic evidence that businesses would fold if snagging were ceased. Minutes March 11-12, 1982 Page 'J
Bob Hamilton, Michigan Steel head and Salmon Fisherman's Association, read a statement for Gordon Zuverink, stating the organization is opposed to all snagging. He said the alternate day plan at Ludington State Park doesn't work--it must be one or the other. He said that one year was not adequate to assess the economic impacts. If the total plan to eliminate snagging is to be achieved, it will require small steps in that direction. Bernie Halverson, Michigan Guide Association, voiced opposition to increases in snagging areas in Michigan. He said a snagging season is not needed for tourism in Michigan and it should be illegal. Efforts to eliminate it should continue at full speed. He asked the Natural Resources Commission to restore fishing to its proper status. Ken Whitney, Michigan Charter Boat Operators, voiced opposition to foul-hooking of fish, but stated he is not opposed to persons making a living. He was impressed with the Mason County officials and urged the Commission to assist in studying the economic impacts to see if the concerns are emotional or fact. Richard Dans, Ludington Daily News, requested the Commission to utilize salmon from beginning to end by placing weirs in streams beyond the areas fished to catch and sell fish. The fish are going to die and should be protected for the public. He suggested that exceptions be made for certain areas to permit snagging. The Mason County people have demonstrated they will maintain the river banks in an effort to promote snagging. Director Tanner advised that his philosophy isto eliminate snagging, but he found it diff; cult to bring forth further closures. The Legislature has not helped provide funds for obtaining economic data or study. Director Tanner said he is anxious to expand the State's capability to harvest fish. Virginia Collins, Mason County Resort Association, said the snagging fishermen are their income. They come to the area to spend money on food, lodging and fuel and she urged the Department to continue the snagging season. The meeting recessed at 6:10 p.m.; reconvened at 9:10 a,m., Friday, March 12. OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL Commissioner Laitala had expressed concern about the Department's out-of- state travel under present budget circumstances--particular1y travel within the Fisheries, Wildlife and Forest Management Divisions. The process and the specific concerns were addressed verbally and in writing to the Commission. It was determined that out-of-state travel is necessary and desirable, but the Director should exercise extremely good judgment and control. The Commission requested a periodic review of out-·of-state travel. Minutes March 11-12, 1982 Page 8
BUILDING SPACE Commissioner Laitala expressed concern about the proposed expansion of office space for the Fisheries and Wildlife Divisions during this time of budget reductions. Director Tanner explained that the move would make those crowded Divisions more efficient as well as more comfortable. He would eventually like to see all of the Department offices housed in the Mason Building.

He advised that a policy to supplement the rules and to reflect changes on oil and gas leasing needs to be addressed by the Natural Resources Commission. The proposed policy is being submitted for informational purposes including a 30-day public review period, with formal action by the Commission recommended for April. Dave Freed, Lands Division, discussed the draft policy which supersedes nine existing policies and policy statements of the Commission and the intent is to consolidate these into one comprehensive policy on the leasing of state-owned oil and gas rights. He briefly reviewed the policy highlighting areas of particular interest. He will meet with the Commission during the April Wednesday evening session and will continue to meet with all interested parties. Harmes mentioned the U.S. Oil and Gas Technology Conference and Exposition scheduled for September 13-16, 1982 at Cobo Hall in Detroit. The Department is interested in holding a lease sale during this time which could be publicized worldwide.

HOWARD A. TANNER Director
/ MICHIGAN STATE WATERWAYS COMMISSION MINUTES of the Meeting of February 4-5, 1982 Lansing, Michigan
A regular meeting of the Michigan State Waterways Commission was called to order by Chairman Sheill at 1 :20 p.m., Thursday, February 4, 1982, at the Lansing Commission office. The following Commissioners were present: Stuart E. Sheill Wi 11 i am Rose Haro 1d Chil d Frank McBride The Division Chief, Assistant Deputy Director, and supporting Lansing staff members were also present. Commissioner Thomson was excused from the meeting. Subject to the approval of the Natural Resources Commission or the Director of the Department, as appropriate, the· following action was taken: The Chief was requested, for the benefit of the two new Commissioners, GREILICKVILLE to give a detailed report on negotiations to date with the Reef Petro RIGHT-OF leum Company. He reported that representatives of Reef appeared at the ENTRY August, 1980, meeting of the Commission to outline their plans to construct an office building on the property immediately adjacent to the Elmwood Township boat launching facility. The facility was construct~d with financial assistance from the Commission. They indicated their development plan required two levels of parking and that it would be far more convenient to secure access to the lower level by modifying the existing entrance road to the Township facility. The Company was advised it would have to negotiate with the Township to secure clearance under the State Submerged Lands Act as well as to secure the Township's consent to this proposal. The representatives stated they had contacted the Township and that the Township was willing to provide the required conveyances and releases on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Commission. The Chief reported that he subsequently confirmed this statement in discussions with the Township Supervisor. Negotiations commenced relative to the value of the right-of-way and culminated in adoption of a Resolution by the Commission accepting Reef's offer whereby the Commission would release the area from its grant-in-aid agreement upon payment of the sum of $35,000 a year for two years with other minor terms and conditions being recited. The Reef officials promised to review this matter with their Board of Directors and to report back to the Commission. Nothing further was heard from Reef, but several press clippings from Traverse City area newspapers were received quoting Mr. David Hall, President of Reef, as charging the Commission with extortion and indi cating his complete displeasure with the negotiated terms and conditions. At the October, 1980, meeting, the Commission placed a deadline on its offer of December 10, 1980, and the off~r subsequently expired. The Division Chief then met with Assistant Director Cleary and other staff members and with r~r. Han and other representatives of Reef to determine how the matter might be resolved. It was agreed by Mr. Cleary and Reef that an alternative means of appraising the value of the prop erty in question be f'Jllowed and that the staff and Reef officials work together to establish required entry modifications, evaluate the effects on park use, and set parameters for a qualified appraisal of the property. This arrangement was approved by the Commission at its April, 1981, meeting. Although the entry modifications and effects on park use were deter mined, Reef subsequently refused to pay for the appraisal and, instead had their own appraisill conducted which they submitted to the Commission at its August meeting together with an offer of $30,000 for both the easement right and the submerged lands value of the property with this sum to be divided equally between the Township and the Commission. Since the appraisal found the value of the easement to be $25,500 and the value of the SUbmE!rged lands to be $10,950, the offer was $6,450'''' short of the values established by the survey which subsequently was found not to meet Department standards in the first instance. On this basis, the Commission rejected Reef's offer. Reef then resumed negotiations with the Department relative to the desired appraisal and hired an appraiser recommended by the Department for this purpose. The appraisal, however, was specifically limited to the fee value of the property to be used for the right-of-way and no consideration was to be given to any values added to the Reef property by this right-of-entry. This appraisal was completed and reported the value of the property to be $~4,500 which ~ade the value of the sub merged lands equal to 30% of tnat ~~1ue or $7,350. The Lanri~ Division completed an enhancement appraisal and found the cost to develop an alternative access system by Reef to be $27,000. The Chief also reported that officials of Reef had contacted their State Senator and Representative and that these individuals had contacted various members of the Department staff and him on this matter. At this point, a delegation from Reef Petroleum Company consisting of Messrs, David Hall, President; Doug Hill, Vice President; and Michael Sauer, attorney, appeared before the Commission. Acting as spokes person, Mr. Sauer briefly reviewed the outcome of the appraisal com pleted by Reef which found the fee value of the premises in question to be $24,500 and Reef renewed its previous offer of $30,000 for all rights connected to the premises. Discussion then ensued between the parties. The perspective of the Commission and its staff was that the fee appraisal had established the fee value of the entry property at $24,500 which established the value of the submerged lands at 30% of that figure or $7,350, and that the Department's staff appraisal had established the cost of developing an alternative access system to the lower parking area at $27,000. Com bining these figures established a cost of $51,500 which was still considerably below the $70,000 originally offered by Reef. 3 ..
Mr. Hall stated that, with the current economic condition of the State, it was his belief state government and its officials should be doing everything possible to encourage private enterprise developments, par ticularly where jobs were concerned, and added that he could not under stand the Conunission's attitude in this matter. Several Conunissioner;~ responded that the building in question was well under construction, that Reef had indicated it had alternative means of access to the lower level of its property, and that nothing the Conunission was doing in any way was delaying the project or would impact on its completion or sub sequent use. They also noted that Reef had approached the Commission on this matter and, after initial negotiations, had broken off all contact with the Commission. Instead, Mr. Hall, himself, had preferred to go to the press and to elected officials apparently in hopes this would be more fruitful than direct negotiations with the Commission. Mr. Hall then left the meeting and discussions continued with Messrs. Sauer and Hi 11.
After further conversation and discussions by the delegation and members of the Commission, the Chairman noted that Reef had initially made an offer of $70,000 and had then reduced that offer to $30,000, and that there was a considerable distance in between. He suggested that perhaps the representatives would like to review the matter with Mr. Hall and determine whether or not they wished to make any other offers. A 10- minute recess was ordered for this purpose, after which the meeting reconvened.
Mr. Sauer stated he had discussed the matter further with Mr. Hall and that Reef preferred to stand by its offer of $30,000. Upon motion by Commissioner Rose, seconded by Commissioner Child, the offer of Reef Petroleum was unanimously rejected. The delegation then left the meeting and the Commission turned to the next agenda item.
Status reports were provided on those items contained in the Minutes of the December 10-11, 1981, meeting calling for staff action and the Minutes were approved as submitted. The Division Chief reported no action has been taken to date with re spect to the Commission's request for the advice of the Natural Resources POLICY Commission on implementation of Policy No. 3401. Specifically, the 3401 request is for clarification of the policy's application to existing lease agreements with utility companies operating under FERC licenses granted prior to adoption of the policy. The Chief reported a month-to month extension has been granted by Consumers Power Company for the property at Tippy Dam, Manistee County, pending resolution of the matter which is anticipated by the March meeting of the Natural Resources Commission.
The staff letter of January 21, 1982, outlining the appeal of a staff decision to not refund a portion of prepaid monies to a former seasonal LEXINGTON renter at the Lexington Harbor was then considered. The Division Chief REFUND reported that Mr. Tony Coats requested and was granted permission to rent a 60-foot slip at the Lexington facility for the 1981 season. A friend of his, a Mr. William Cheney, obtained permission to rent a 45- foot slip for the same period. Sometime between July 4 and July 11, both individuals permanently vacated their slips with state dock atten dants being informed of their departure on July 11. Both applied for refunds. The Commiss"ion's refund policy states: IIIn the event a boat owner wishes to cancel his lease prior to July 1 of any year, he shall be entitled to a 50% refund of the fee paid. Cancellations after that date shall not entitle the boat owner to any refund". Shortly after the vacation of the slips" the 45-foot slip was rented on a seasonal basis for the balance of the year. Because the state suffered no financial loss, 50% of the rental fee was refunded to Mr. Cheney. The 60-foot slip, however, was not rented and a refund denied its former renter, Mr. Coats. In support of his appeal, Mr. Coats claimed that he was not informed the rest rooms and showers were unavailable. He also stated there was extensive fishing and bike riding on the docks, that he suffered $200 in vandalism on this boat, and that persons were on his boat in his absence. He complained of fire crackers during week nights before the 4th of July and that drunks from the local bar walked the docks and were very loud in the early hours of the morning. For these reasons, he felt a refund was in order. The Chief reported that Mr. Coats had been informed of the fact the rest rooms and shower building was closed in 1980 and, although efforts would be made to connect the facility to the Village sewer system, the proba bilities were that this would not be accomplished in 1981 and it wasn't. As to the other charges, he stated that not one other single complaint of any of these activities had been made by any other boatman using Lexington harbor on either a transient or seasonal basis. His pOint was that the Procedures Manual established the policy to be followed in this instance, that the policy hed been followed, and that no good reasons for seek i ng a wa i ver of the t::. ~ icy had been presented. FIJ 1~ 0\'1; ng di s cussion, and upon motion by Commissioner Rose, seconded by Commissioner, McBride, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, the appea 1 of Mr. Tony Coats from staff denial of a 50% refund of fees paid for a seasonal slip at the Lexington Harbor vacated during the 1981 season be and is hereby denied and the staff's decision upheld in accordance with the provisions of the Commission's refund policy as stated in Section XVI, 13.b. of the Dock Operations Procedures Manual. The next item of business was the staff letter of January 27,1981, ENGINEERING outlining the report of the project engineer on the design, cost, and REPORT, feasibility of constructing recreational boating facilities at the HARBOR BEACH City's Waterworks Park, Harbor Beach. Assistant Chief Lawrence stated the staff has reviewed the report and recommends approval of Phase I subject to the following modifications: 1. Expand the basin by constructing the entire breakwater including that in Phase II and substituting a head pier for what would otherwise have become an interior breakwater. 2. Relocate the fish cleaning station. 3. Extend the skid piers by adding a floating unit to the lakeward end. In addition, the staff is concerned with the use of floating piers in a location so close to the north breakwater. Winter storms from the northeast may generate sufficient spray, when impacting the breakwater, to create a heavy ice cover on the floating piers and result in deforma tion or serious damage. The consultant, at the staff's request, will monitor the situation this winter and report its findings. He noted Phase I, with these modifications, provides a substantial launching facility and moorage for 45 small craft at an estimated cost of $2,325,000. Certain reductions in scope could reduce this cost, but the project ;s inherently expensive because of the foundation conditions, the requirement for a breakwater, and the necessity for constructing a peninsula for development of the launch, maneuver and service areas. The Division Chief discussed at length the present funding situation and efforts to secure additional revenues required for completion of the project. Upon motion by Comm1ssioner Child, seconded by Commissioner Rose, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the engineering report completed by K. Don Williamson Associates, Inc., on the design, cost, and feasibility of constructing recreational boating facilities at the City's Waterworks Park, Harbor Beach, be and ;s hereby accepted. The Division Chief reported on an upcoming meeting scheduled with the CORPS U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers, relative to the Cedar River Harbor-of MEETING Refuge project. Authorized in the 1960 ' s, this project was one origi nally envisioned in the State's 30-mile refuge harbor plan of develop ment along the Great Lake's shoreline. Legislation has recently been introduced at the Federal level to no longer accept maintenance respon sibilities for commercial harbors and could, the Chief advised, impact on development of recreational harbors. A request to lease property currently surplus to program requirements at LK MACATAWA the Lake Macatawa Public Access Site, located in Holland, as outlined in LEASE the staff letter of January 27, 1982, was then reviewed. Operations 70-1 Chief Nichols reported a request to lease some 2.48 acres of property north of our existing parking lot and across Ottawa Beach Road from the ramp for a boat and cradle storage concession has been received. The subject land was purchased to be used for future parking; however, use of the site does not currently indicate the need for additional parking beyond that already developed on the premises. Because two local marinas are interested in the proposed lease, it will have to be offered on a bid basis. It is proposed we offer to lease the desired property for a five-year period at a minimum lease fee of $3,000 per year with any improvements needed on the site to be the responsibility of the lessee. Following discussion, the staff was instructed to delete that portion of the offered property designated as swamp land and to include language providing for maintenance responsibilities should the successful lessee use the developed parking area to gain access. Upon motion by Commis sioner Child, seconded by Commissioner Rose, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the proposed lease of property at the Lake Macatawa Public Access Site, 70-1, for a five-year period at a minimum lease fee of $3,000 per year and award to the successful bidder be and is hereby authorized. The staff letter of January 28, 1982, outlining the request of the MACKINAC Chicago Yacht Club for continuation of the reservation policy offered by ISLAND the Waterways Commission at the Mackinac Island dock to accommodate participants in the Chicago to Mackinac Island Race was the next item of business. The Division Chief reported that, under past policy decisions, we have reserved the inside westerly portion of the dock for a 48-hour period for the exclusive use of participants in the annual Port Huron to Mackinac Island and Chicago to Mackinac Island Races. In return, the Clubs have paid a flat rental fee for these spaces. This arrangement was begun in 1976 and each subsequent annual rental has been increased to reflect the increases in the Consumers Price Index. The arrangements have worked out to the complete satisfaction of all parties in the past and the staff recommends their adoption again this year at a rental fee of $1,808, an increase of 8.9% over last year. Upon motion by Commis sioner McBride, seconded by Commissioner Rose, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the rental of Mackinac Island mooring facilities to the Chicago and Bayview Yacht Clubs for their respective 1982 races under the terms and condi tions established in 1976 be approved at a rental fee of $1,808 for each race. The request of the City of Escanaba, as outlined in the staff letter of STUDY, February 3, 1982, for assistance in updating a previous engineering ESCANABA report was then reviewed. Assistant Chief Lawrence reported on a recent meeting with the City's Engineer and on the need to upgrade a 1973 master plan for development of recreational boating facilities for the purpose of applying for a Michigan Department of Commerce-administered Small Cities grant. The City wishes to update the study by adjusting the priorities to current needs, re-examining the designs, and preparing new cost estimates. Total c('':'! of the updating is $900 wii.i, the Commis sion being requested to provide $450 of that amount. Upon motion by Commissioner Child, seconded by Commissioner McBride, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that there be and is hereby allocated to the City of Escanaba from the lump-sum appropriation for engineering studies the sum of $450, said sum to be matched equally by the City, and all sums utilized solely for updating a 1973 engineering report to determine the design, cost, and feasibility of con structing docking and bulkhead facilities in the harbor.
The next item of business was the request of the City of Rogers City for RATE consideration of seasonal moorage rates for the 1982 season that vary VARIANCE, from those prescribed by the Commission. The Division Chief reported ROGERS CITY the City has traditionally been granted authority by the Commission to charge a lower seasonal rate in an effort to attract more users to the facilities and to fill seasonal slips. The City's recommended rates reflect a 10% increase from the 1981 season which is approximately the amount by which the Commission rate was increased. The proposed rates P are: 30/32' slips, $410; 42/45' slips, $620; and 60' slips, $980. Upon motion by Commissioner McBride, seconded by Commissioner Rose, it was unanimously 1 RESOLVED, that the request of the City of Rogers City for a rate variance in the seasonal rental rates for the 1982 seC!son be and is hereby approved.
Consideration then turned to the request of Chesterfield Township, RATE Macomb County, for approval of proposed revised rates for use of the VARIANCE, Township's Brandenburg Park launching facility on Lake St. Clair, as CHESTERFIELD outlined in the staff letter of January 21,1982. The requested rate TWP. increases are the first since the facility opened in 1975 and are generally within Commission guidelines: Car entry fee ...... $ 2.00 Car/Trailer entry fee ...... 3.00 Car Season Pass ...... 10.00 (resident) Car Season Pass ...... 15.00 (non-resident) Car/Trailer Season Pass ..•. 20.00 (resident) Car/Trailer Season Pass .... 25.00 (non-resident) In support of the request, the Chief stated the Township has maintained this facility since its completion in an excellent manner and wishes to continue to have the financial capability of continuing such maintenance. In addition, if any surplus revenues are realized, the Township will dedicate them for future repairs and/or improvements. Upon motion by Commissioner Child, seconded by Commissioner Rose, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the request of Chesterfield Township, Macomb County, for revised rates for the use of boat launching facilities at the Brandenburg Park be and are hereby approved for the 1982 season. The meeting recessed at 4:35 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:35 a.m., Friday, February 5, 1982, at the Commission Lansing off'ice.
The staff letter of January 11,1982, outlining the request of the RATE Harrisville Harbor Commission for approval of seasonal dockage rates VARIANCE, which vary from the minimums prescribed by the Commission was then HARRISVILLE reviewed. This harbor has been authorized a variance from state rates since seasonal rentals were authorized in the late 1960's. The proposed rates are in line with prior waivers granted by the Commission. A $10.50 per foot, $200 minimum, is proposed. Upon motion by Commissioner McBride, seconded by Commissioner Rose, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the request of the Harrisville Harbor Commission for a rate variance in seasonal rental rates for the 1982 season be and is hereby approved. The Division Chief provided a status report on the proposed federal project to upgrade the outer and inner breakwaters at Harrisville to HARRISVILLE reduce the exposure of the southerly portion of the harbor. Late last PROJECT year, the staff learned of the availability of federal monies for the project and successfully secured a matching appropriation of $350,000 previously approved by the Waterways Commission to insure timely com pletion of the project. Subsequent to this action, the President man- dated a freeze on new construction project authorizations. The U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers, is pursuing this matter at the Federal level. In addition, the staff has contacted members of the Michigan Congres- sional delegation to gain their support for the project. Attention turned to the January 22, 1982, staff letter, reporting on 1981 statewide transient traffic during the 1981 boating season. Lake Huron TRANSIENT traffic showed an 11% increase in powerboat activity and a 12% increase TRAFFIC in sailboat traffic. Overall, boat traffic was up 12% with sailboats accounting for 57% of the activity, the same percentage reported for . Lake Huron in 1980. On Lake Michigan, sailboat traffic constituted 56~~' of the total as compared with 60% last year. Powerboat traffic increased 36% while sail activity increased 16%. Upper Lake Michigan traffic showed a 33% increase in overall boating traffic with powerboat traffic increasing by 34% and sailboat traffic increasing by 32% over last year. Sailboat traffic constituted 58% of the total, the same as 1980. Lake Superior showed a change in the percentage of sailboat traffic from 38% last year to 42% this year. Powerboat traffic declined 5% while sail boat traffic increased by 12% .. For the State as a whole, powerboat traffic was up 19%, sailboat traffic up 14%, and overall traffic up 17%. Sailboat traffic for the entire State comprised 51% of the total transient traffic, a decrease of 1% over the comparable 1980 figure. Of particular note, however, was the fact traffic was increasing, a trend not previously anticipated, indi cating the depressed economy of the State did not adversely affect the public's use of recreational facilities. Discussion ensued on the trends evidenced at individual harbors, and, upon motion duly made and seconded, the report was accepted.
The next item of business wa~ the staff ietter of JanuaY',}' 7, 1982, ENGINEERING ·reporting on the completion of d preliminary engineering study to review REPORT, existing structures and make recommendations relative thereto to the CHEBOYGAN City of Cheboygan. Assistant Chief Lawrence stated the study reviewed the physical and economic feasibility of repairing and upgrading the mooring facilities at Water Street and Washington Parks on the Cheboygan River. The entire municipally-owned frontage at Water Street Park, a substantial portion of which had previously been improved through the construction of a steel sheet bulkhead and rest room facility with Commission assi.stance, is in need of upgraded electrical and water ser vice, a new fender system, new sidewalks, and expansion and revision of j'~ the existing rest room structure. In addition, on the downstream end of this project, removal of existing timber sheeting and replacing it with steel sheet piling is recommended. Total cost of this aspect of the work is $354,240, including engineering and contingencies. The Washington Park frontage consists of a badly deteriorated timber wall which is presently unsafe for use by recreational boat owners. The proposal is to remove this wall and replace it with a steel sheet piling wall placed upland sufficiently to permit construction of catwalks to accommodate eight boats. Water, electricity, and a concrete sidewalk would also be provided. Total cost of this work is.$224;978, bringing the total of both projects to $579,218. The report has been reviewed and approved by the staff. Upon motion by Commissioner Rose, seconded by Commissioner Child, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the preliminary engineering report prepared by Cleary Engineers, Inc., on the feasibility, design, and cost of repairing and upgrading mooring facilities at Water Street Park and Washington Park on the Cheboygan River, City of Cheboygan, be and is hereby accepted and the project authorized to compete for future capital outlay funds.
The annual report of user activity on Public Access Sites for calendar 1981 1981, as outlined in the staff letter of January 28,1982, was then PAS USE reviewed. Operations Chief Nichols stated the report is based upon a statistical sample of some 50 sites in the heavy, medium, and light-use", categories of the total 636 sites. To estimate total seasonal use, , readings taken from electronic vehicle detectors were converted to esti mates of vehicle entries, people, and boat launchings. The expanded sample established that in 1981,11,068,000 people visited state sites. These visitations involved 3,967,000 vehicle entries and 1,064,441 launchings. Traffic was up from 1980, but was slightly below the record use of 1979. Following discussion and an in-depth review of the use statistics, the report was accepted.
The staff announced the 1982 Training School for Waterways Division TRAINING employees will be held February 25-26, 1982, at the Ralph A. MacMul1an SCHOOL Conference Center, Higgins Lake. Commissioner McBride accepted an invitation to appear on behalf of the Commission at the session. The meeting adjourned, the time being 9:50 a.m.

Memorandum to the Natural Resources Commission:
Re: Timber Sale Procedure
Pursuant to Act 178, P.A. 1935, the Director of the Department of Natural Resources is authorized to dispose of timber from any of the state lands under the control of the Department of Natural Resources as may be prescribed by the Natural Resources Commission.
The timber sale procedure approved by the Natural Resources Commission on June 7, 1974 states that "all state timber sale proposals on islands, except Drummond Island, shall be submitted to the Commission for approval."
Attached are two timber sale proposals from Beaver Island for the Commission's approval in accordance with the above mentioned rule.
Requiring such Commission approval slows down the routine sale process and our response to the demand for wood products. It is felt that timber sale procedures and timber management guidelines are sufficient to carryon sales on islands without the need for Commission approval. All sales are made in compliance with timber sale proposaL procedures approved jointly by field personnel, Forest ~1anagement, Fisheries and Wildlife Divisions.
Recommendation:
We recommend, under the authority of Act 178, P.A. 1935, as amended, that the existing Commission approved procedure be amended as follows:
"All state timber sale p1'0:p':)sals on islands shall be in compliance with Forest Management guidelines and must be approved by the Lansing Forest Management Division Office."

Memorandum to the Natural Resources Commission Re: Youth Pheasant Hunting Program for 1982
At the February 11-12 meeting of the Natural Resources Commission, the memorandum establishing the 1982 Youth Pheasant Hunt was approved. This memorandum states that on the four put-take areas participants must have a put-take permit and all birds taken must be sealed. There is some concern that the requirement to purchase a $13.25 permit for one hunt may discourage many prospective applicants. The intent of the youth hunt is to make this opportunity available to as many young hunters as possible, without imposing any unnecessary financial burden. The research project which will accompany the youth hunt will involve not only those hunting at Rose Lake, but also a sample of young hunters from the four put-take areas. The Natural Resources Commission is authorized by Section 3, Act 236:', P. A. 1925, to establish one (1) experimental game management area of not over 40,000 acres and four (4) experimental game management areas of not over 5,000 acres each. The Rose Lake Area is designated as one of these. We request that the Holly, Ionia, Pinckney, and Sleepy Hollow put-take areas be designated as experimental game management areas for the purpose of this 1982 Youth Pheasant Hunt, and that the requirement of a put-take permit and sealing of birds be suspended for the dates of September 18 and September 25, 1982. The Wildlife, Law Enforcement, and Parks divisions recommend that under the authority of Section 3, Act 230, P. A. 1925, as amended, Laws
IC, Relating to Natural Resources, Revision of 1977 (pp. 158 and 159), the Commission establish the following rules and regulations for the 1982 Youth Pheasant Hunting Program. . -~.~Z:~ Wildlife Division .J) ()/~, .' FRA?~~~~~~::\i) l~~- Law Enforcement Division

Memorandum to the Natural Resources Commission:
RE: Control of watercraft on the waters of Tody Lake, Hadley Township, Lapeer County - Final Adoption
This proposed administrative rule has been approved by the Joint Legis lative Committee on Administrative Rules and is now ready for formal consi deration .. by the Natural Resources Commission.
Acting upon a resolution received from the Hadley Township Board, the above mentioned body of water was investigated by department personnel and a formal public hearing conducted. Problems associated with high-speed boats in conflict with other activities were revealed.
Tody Lake is a very small lake with a surface area of only 12 acres. There is no assured public access to Tody Lake. The lake is quite shallow and offers a fair warm water fishery. Complaints have been received of near accidents and some harassment of boaters. Testimony received centered around a few high-speed boaters and their actions on the lake. Opinion was unanimous at the meeting that a prohibition of motors was what was needed. I concur with these feelings and would recommend passage of such a proposal.
It is recommended that a local watercraft control, which will assure compatible use of state waters and best protect the public safety, authorized by Sections 12 - 17 of Act 303, Public Acts of 1967, as amended (pages 89 and 90, Laws Relating to Natural Resources, Revision of 1977) be formally adopted by the Natural Resources Commission as follows:
On the waters of Tody lake, section 30, T6N, R9E, Hadley township, Lapeer county, it is unlawful to operate a vessel powered by a motor except an electric motor.

Memorandum to the Natural Resources Commission
Re: Delegation of Authority to Execute Legally Binding Agreements with Existing Hazardous Waste Disposal Facilities
Act 64, the Hazardous Waste Management Act, requires the director to issue or deny an operating license within ninety (90) days of receipt of an application. Prior to issuing a license, an existing facility must demonstrate that it is currently in compliance with all Act 64 requirements.
In situations where an existing facility is found to be in noncompliance with Act 64 standards, Rule 503(g) allows a company to enter into a legally binding agreement with the department to upgrade the facility to meet Act 64 standards. The period allowed for upgrading cannot exceed two years.
It usually takes a majority of the ninety (90) day statutory review period for staff to complete their technical evaluation of the project. It is not possible to negotiate an agreement and schedule it for the Commission's approval within the ninety (90) days allowed. The alternative is to deny the license and enter into an agreement later. A denial is inappropriate in situations where we are in complete agreement with the applicant.
There are 42 existing facilities which are currently seeking an operating license and each could require a consent agreement.
We, therefore, recommend that. the Natural Resources Comml.::::ion delegate to the director its authority to execute legally binding agreements ~ for upgrading existing hazardous waste disposal facilities. 4:~£juf ~::,dL DELBERT RECTOR Envi onmental~Sion

As a result of this exchange, jurisdiction of the state owned Muskallonge Lake frontage lying south of the 5.20 acres recommended for exchange to the applicant will be rededicated as part of the Lake Superior State Forest. The offered private 1.46 acre tract has 30 feet of sand beach frontage on Lake Superior that rises slightly to a brush covered beach ridge 400 feet wide. The southerly 400 feet of the parcel is situated 40 feet above the Lake level and is comprised of well drained upland with a forest cover of mixed hardwood poles and sawtimber.

Director Background Information: General conditions recited under Policy No. 2625 notes that during the review of tax-reverted land annually deeded to the DNR, three basic options ar.e open, namely: (1) Withhold from sale for conservation use; . (2) Accept applications and deed title to municipalities or public ggencies under Act 223, P.A. 1909, as amended, being the Public Use Deed Act: (3) Sell the properties at public auction and return all proceeds to the local units having a tax lien interest at time of delinquency. All of the properties have been screened with appropriate DNR divisions, first on the basis of potential use for "conservation purposes" of this Department; and secondly, to determine if State deeds of conveyance should contain any special notices of deed covenants consistent with the Attorney General opinion advising that sale covenants may not exceed limits established by statute and authorities. The subject lots are applied for under Commission Policy No. 2625, approved August 12, 1977 which states that the DNR shall accept municipal and agency applications before proceeding to sell tax-reverted land not withheld for conser- vation use.

Provide for orderly development of state-owned hydrocarbon resources. 2. Encourage the private sector. rather than the state. to risk capital in exploration and development. 3. Optimize revenue from state-owned hydrocarbons consistent with other natural resource management objectives. The Task Force then proceeded to complete other charges made to it by the Commission. which included: 1. Development of a new lease for the purpose of: (a) improving the organization of the lease. (b) simplifying the language. (c) increased understanding of terms, and Cd) deleting or adding certain substantive clauses. 2. Development of rules pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act. P.A. 306 of 1969. as amended. In April 1981 a new Oil and Gas Lease was approved by the Commission which incorporated changes approved in October 1980. including a ,1/6 royalty rate and a primary lease term of seven years. In June 1981 the Legislative Joint Committee on Administrative Rules unani mously approved proposed rules for oil and gas leases on state lands. The rules incorporated changes in the overall leasing program which had been previously approved by the Commission. The Commission adopted the rules in July 1981. They were subsequently approved by the Governor and took effect in August 1981. Another area that now needs to be addressed by the Commission is adoption of policy to supplement the rules and to reflect other changes in the leasing program reSUlting from prior actions as referred to above. Accordingly. the attached policy on leasing of state-owned oil and gas rights is proposed. The draft policy supersedes nine existing policies and policy state ments of the Commission delineated in attached Exhibit (1). The intent is to consolidate these into one comprehensive policy on the leasing of state-owned oil and gas'rights. HR.P. No. 1021" The proposed policy has been developed through participation by department staff, representatives of environmental organizations and the oil and gas industry. ~ Joint work sessions were held on the following dates: December 4, 1981 December 11, 1981 January 7, 1982 January 11, 1982 January 27, 1982 January 28, 1982 February 4, 1982 February 8, 1982 February 9, 1982 February la, 1982 February 22, 1982 Participants in the meetings exchanged information, materials and viewpoints in a constructive manner. Concurrence has been reached on a majority of the items addressed. Work is progressing on the development of Depa.rtment procedures. The proposed policy on oil and gas leasing is being submitted for informational purposes, with formal action by the Commission recommended for the April 1982 meeting. Q~ce~ ROLAND HARMES, Acting Chief Lands Division I have analyzed and discussed this recommendation with the Deputy Directors and staff and we concur.

This Division has recently received application':! to lease for oil and gas, state owned mineral rights 011 platted property withiu the Village of Be verton, Gladwin County, and also in the Michigan Land aud Outing Compan s Subdivision in Newaygo County. The department bas established the policy of offering the tate owned oil and gas lease rights at public auction and selling the lease to th ighest bidder. How ever, up to this time only regular acreage tracts of twenty cres or more, which in themselves would afford sutlicient area for a separate d ling unit, have been so leased. The law requires that wells shall not be drilled S8 than 200 feet from the boundary lines of any parcel of land unless the d' ensions on the property in question make it impossible to so place the well. r. he Geology Division has con formed to the statute in the issuance of drilling pe its and has strongly advocated I that only olle well be drilled on parcels of not Ie than ten acres and one gas \vell '1'''' for each forty acre dt>Scrilltion. Thh; spacing wells has been determined to be sllfl1cif'lltly clm'e to properly !lnd t'{:onomicall:y: collect the oil and/or gas from :my given area. Drilling more wells in a given en-itory would Dot be good conserva tion and would only resnlt in the lInn~ess ry t!:Kllenditure of funds and make the de\"elopment alosiIl~ proposition from a financial litandpoint. 'V1Jere there a r(' JIUIIlf'roll!': owners of 'mall lIur('els in a given drilling unit, the propt'r Ilroeedllre is to pool all of the o' and gas rights for the drilling of the well in a properly spaced location and t 11 each owner will receive his royalty on a e· • pro rata basis in proportion to the p eentage of area he controls in the unit. There is 11Ot#lnl; in the law wh eby the state cun prevent the drilling of wells . on extremely small parcels but' is obvious that the department should not en- ! courage sneh uneconomical !lra . Ice which is contrary to all good principles of oil and gas conservation. TlIerefore, itlloes not app r that the state should offer platted lots or parcels of less than ten acres for use sale, and thus induce drilling in a manner which is "asteful and not in th interests of good operating practice. It is suggested and re ommended that for platted subdivision lots or parcels of less than ten acres, t state enter directly into a pooling agreement with any operator who can fur O3b bona fide evidence that he bas control of a high percent age of the privately wned land, say 7;'%, within any drilling nnit. The revenue which the state mi t derive from bonuses and rentals in leasing these small parcels would be negligib nnd by pooling the state will receive its proportionate share of oil awl gas oll ed and at the same time will not be guilty of inducing wasteful and llndesirab operating practices. . A drilling it for oil shall be here considered a piece of land t least ten acres so far as praeticahle, situated in rel'pect to the regl!lar survey lines 11 will be located so as to conform to the rules and regulations of the Supervis of wells.

ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 4:15 p.m. Date Approved MINUTES OF MEETING MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION University Inn - Big Ten Room 1100 Trowbridge Road East Lansing, Michigan Apri 1 14 ~ 1982 PRESENT Harry H. Whiteley, Chairman Jacob A. Hoefer E. M. Laitala Hilary F. Snell Paul H. Wendler Joan L. Wolfe Howard A. Tanner, Director John M. Robertson, Executive Assistant The meeting convened at 7:40 p.m. LOW-HEAD HYDRO---TRAVERSE CITY LIGHT & POWER Gary Gettel, Environmental Enforcement Division, shared with the Commission the efforts that had been expended at involving local interest group participation in the above matter and he discussed the Boardman River Advisory Council. He indicated that City and County officials had met and discussed both trap and transfer operations and a recommended plan. Gettel indicated the the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) deadline was May 10 and local input might not meet that deadline. He indicated that if that deadline could not be met, the State would ask for an extension from FERC. John Scott, Chief, Fisheries Division, reviewed the history of the fish management plan for the Boardman River and the Department's and Commission's charge by law to assure fish passage. He indicated that the trap and transfer operation created an opportunity to enhance the Bay fishery. Pacific salmon would be harvested and not passed upstream. PROJECT ELF In response to Commissioner Whiteley's inquiry regarding a letter received from Senator Mitch Irwin, Bob Compeau, Assistant Deputy Director, reviewed a decision to issue a permit to allow for study in that area of the Upper Peninsula currently proposed as a site for Project ELF. Mike Moore, Forest Management Division, reviewed the need for the study to be performed by Michigan Technological University and indicated that it would identify the geological abilities of that areq for ~h~ prqject. Commissioner Laitala, in very positive terms, stated hlS pos1tlon 1n favor of Project ELF with the Commission. Minutes April 14s 1982 ( Page 2: SAND LAKES QUIET AREA Jerry Thiede s Forest Management Divisions reviewed the Sand Lakes Quiet Area issue. He indicated that the Task Force recommendation, with respect to oil and gas development within the area, was that a well be developed inside the area boundary. Inasmuch as development does conflict with key value uses of the area, development would be under very stringent conditions. The oil company requesting this development opportunity would have to agree to have the remainder of its leases converted to nondevelopment. The Task Force also recommended that the boundary be extended to include approximately 200 acres in the southwest corner. Thiede advised the Commission this matter would come before them for information in June and for action in July. HILAND LAKE DAM FAILURE Leon Cook, Water Management Division, reviewed the Hiland Lake dam failure of March 26, 1982. He indicated that a trailer court had been flooded along with a small motel. The lake impacted by the dam had been lowered six to eight feet resulting in a loss of 70% of the lake. It is anticipated the remainder of the chain will lose approximately 15% of its service areas by summer and this will adversely impact access and state facilities. Replacement of the original dam could take until ( , the fall of 1983. He indicated that staff, including Engineering Division, was exploring the possibility of a smaller dam upstream from the lowest lake. Installation of such a dam could not require an exorbitant amount of financing and could mitigate some of the negative impacts anticipated throughout the remainder of the chain. TRIBAL FISHING Director Tanner reviewed Governor Milliken's letter to Secretary of Interior James Watt indicating that the Governor felt Secretary Watt and the Department of Interior could act more constructively in - promoting settlement. He reviewed his news release critical of the recently court implemented tribal fishing regulations for 1982 and reflecting the Governor's position with respect for a need for more i nvo 1veme.nt by the Department of Interi or. FISH MORTALITY John Scott reviewed recent fish mortalities at State fish hatcheries. He discussed the impacts of these mortalities and the incidents that precipitated it. He advised the Commission that Fisheries Division had recently completed a hatchery facilities audit and that addressing the conclusions of that audit was a priority item. ( Minutes April 14, 1982 -e Page 3 MICHIGAN LAND TRUST FUND BOARD Commissioner Hoefer reviewed the .1ast Land Trust Fund Board meeting and indicated that with the recent change in chairmanship, he felt that his continuation as the Commission's representative on that Board should be an item of discussion.
