    MI/DEQ/WRD-11/023 MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY WATER RESOURCES DIVISION MAY 2011 STAFF REPORT A BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE ONTONAGON, PRESQUE ISLE, IRON, MONTREAL, AND UPPER WISCONSIN RIVERS WATERSHEDS AND OTHER SELECTED NONBASIN YEAR WATERSHEDS GOGEBIC, HOUGHTON, IRON, AND ONTONAGON COUNTIES, MICHIGAN JUNE 2008 INTRODUCTION Staff from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), Surface Water Assessment Section (SWAS), assessed the biological, chemical, and physical habitat conditions of selected streams located in the Ontonagon (HUC 04020102), Presque Isle (HUC 04020101), Iron (HUC 04020101), Montreal (HUC 04010302), and Upper Wisconsin (HUC 07070001) Rivers watersheds (OPIMU), and other selected nonbasin year watersheds. The habitat and macroinvertebrate community were qualitatively evaluated using the SWAS Procedure 51 (MDEQ, 1990; Creal et al., 1996) at 28 wadeable sites and the draft SWAS Procedure 91 (MDEQ, 2011a) at 2 nonwadeable sites. Water chemistry samples were collected at 13 sites (Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4; Figure 1). E. coli samples were collected at 3 sites on Powder Mill Creek (Table 5). The specific survey objective of these monitoring activities includes, but is not limited to, the following: • Evaluate the current biological and physical conditions at targeted and randomly selected stations in the OPIMU watersheds for attainment of Michigan Water Quality Standards (WQS). • Identify sources of sediment and other nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. • Evaluate the effectiveness of specific NPS water quality improvement projects. • Fulfill water quality monitoring recommendations submitted by the Upper Peninsula NPS water quality monitoring team, other agencies, and the public. GENERAL WATERSHED HISTORY AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION The OPIMU watersheds are located in the extreme west end of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

  • Executive Summary
    Ontonagon River Assessment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This river assessment is one of a series of documents being prepared by Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), Fisheries Division, for Michigan rivers. This report describes the physical and biological characteristics of the Ontonagon River, discusses how human activities have influenced the river, and serves as an information base for future management activities. Our approach is consistent with Fisheries Division’s mission to “protect and enhance fish environments, habitat, and populations and other forms of aquatic life and to promote the optimum use of these resources for the benefit of the people of Michigan.” River assessments are intended to provide a comprehensive reference for citizens and agency personnel seeking information on a particular river. By compiling and synthesizing existing information, river assessments reveal the complex relationships between rivers, watershed landscapes, biological communities, and humans. This assessment shows the influence of humans on the Ontonagon River and provides an approach for identifying opportunities and addressing problems related to aquatic resources in the Ontonagon River watershed. We hope that this document will increase public awareness of the Ontonagon River and its challenges, and encourage citizens to become more actively involved in decision-making processes that provide sustainable benefits to the river and its users. This document consists of three parts: an introduction, a river assessment, and management options. The river assessment is the nucleus of the report. It provides a description of the Ontonagon River and its watershed in thirteen sections: geography, history, geology, hydrology, soils and land use, channel morphology, dams and barriers, water quality, special jurisdictions, biological communities, fishery management, recreational use, and citizen involvement.

  • 2013 Ontonagon, Presque Isle, Black, and Montreal River Watersheds
    MI/DEQ/WRD-13/014MI/DEQ/WRD-15/024 MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY WATER RESOURCES DIVISION JULY 2015 STAFF REPORT A BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE ONTONAGON, PRESQUE ISLE, BLACK, AND MONTREAL RIVERS WATERSHEDS AND OTHER SELECTED WATERSHEDS IN GOGEBIC, HOUGHTON, IRON, AND ONTONAGON COUNTIES, MICHIGAN JULY-AUGUST 2013 INTRODUCTION Staff of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), Surface Water Assessment Section (SWAS), conducted biological, chemical, and physical habitat surveys during the summer of 2013 throughout the Ontonagon (Hydrologic Unit Code [HUC] 04020102), Presque Isle (HUC 04020101), Black (HUC 04020101), and Montreal (HUC 04010302) (OPBM) Rivers watersheds. Additionally, some streams located in smaller western Lake Superior coastal watersheds were surveyed (Figure 1). The goals of this monitoring were to: (1) assess the current status and condition of individual water bodies and determine whether Michigan Water Quality Standards (WQS) are being met; (2) evaluate biological integrity temporal trends; (3) satisfy monitoring requests submitted by external and internal customers; and (4) identify potential nonpoint source (NPS) pollution problems. These surveys qualitatively characterized the biotic integrity of macroinvertebrate communities with respect to existing habitat conditions at randomly selected sites throughout the OPBM watersheds region. The results of the surveys are used by the SWAS’s Status and Trends Program to estimate the amount of these watersheds that is supporting the other indigenous aquatic life and wildlife designated use component of R 323.1100(1)(e) of the Part 4 rules, WQS, promulgated under Part 31, Water Resources Protection, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended. BACKGROUND AND HISTORICAL SAMPLING EFFORTS The OPBM watersheds are located in the extreme west end of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

    Petition to List U.S. Populations of Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) as Endangered or Threatened under the Endangered Species Act May 14, 2018 NOTICE OF PETITION Submitted to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on May 14, 2018: Gary Frazer, USFWS Assistant Director, [email protected] Charles Traxler, Assistant Regional Director, Region 3, [email protected] Georgia Parham, Endangered Species, Region 3, [email protected] Mike Oetker, Deputy Regional Director, Region 4, [email protected] Allan Brown, Assistant Regional Director, Region 4, [email protected] Wendi Weber, Regional Director, Region 5, [email protected] Deborah Rocque, Deputy Regional Director, Region 5, [email protected] Noreen Walsh, Regional Director, Region 6, [email protected] Matt Hogan, Deputy Regional Director, Region 6, [email protected] Petitioner Center for Biological Diversity formally requests that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“USFWS”) list the lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) in the United States as a threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), 16 U.S.C. §§1531-1544. Alternatively, the Center requests that the USFWS define and list distinct population segments of lake sturgeon in the U.S. as threatened or endangered. Lake sturgeon populations in Minnesota, Lake Superior, Missouri River, Ohio River, Arkansas-White River and lower Mississippi River may warrant endangered status. Lake sturgeon populations in Lake Michigan and the upper Mississippi River basin may warrant threatened status. Lake sturgeon in the central and eastern Great Lakes (Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River basin) seem to be part of a larger population that is more widespread.

  • Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) Grants for 5 Active Or Completed Projects
    The COUNTY ALCONA MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND was established under the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund Act of 1976 to provide a permanent funding source for the public acquisition of land for resource protection and public outdoor recreation. Funding is provided by revenue derived from royalties on the sale and lease of state-owned oil, gas and mineral rights. This landmark piece of legislation came to fruition thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Michigan Oil and Gas Association, Michigan United Conservation Clubs and state legislators on behalf of all Michigan citizens. The MNRTF has contributed immeasurably to protecting our state’s natural beauty and helped paved the way for wise and prudent development of our state’s abundant energy resources. To date, the MNRTF has awarded over $1.1 billion in grants to Michigan’s state and local parks, waterways, trails and nature preserves throughout all 83 counties. Of this total, $245 million has been invested in trails. In excess of 1,000 public parks have been acquired and / or developed. Other projects funded include ball fields, tennis courts, trailheads, restrooms and other amenities, for a total of just under 2,500 MNRTF-assisted projects since 1976. ALCONA COUNTY Alcona County has received $644,100 in Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) grants for 5 active or completed projects.
