    FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT NO. 2 GREAT LAKES CONNECTING CHANNELS WIDENING AND DEEPENING BENDS IN THE ST. MARYS RIVER, MICHIGAN (PHASE III) Prepared by U. S. Army Engineer District Detroit, Michigan March 1974 STATEMENT OF FINDINGS GREAT LAKES CONNECTING CHANNELS WIDENING AND DEEPENING BENDS IN ST. MARYS RIVER, MICHIGAN PHASE III SUPPLEMENT NO. 2 1. 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 dredging project on the connect­ ing channel waterway of the St. Marys River. 2. The River and Harbor Act of 1956 (P.L. 434, 84th Congress) pro­ vided for a safe vessel draft of 25.5 feet for both upbound and downbound traffic with a least channel width of 300 feet. Authority for inclusion of design and construction of the bend widening projects for the St. Marys River into the existing Great Lakes Channels Authorization was granted by the Chief of Engineers on 12 December 1967, subject: Great Lakes Connecting Channels, Widening and Deepening Bends in the St. Marys and St. Clair Rivers. 3. The continued well-being of tire St. Marys River is a matter of great concern to a wide scope of interests, whether they be commer­ cial, conservational, or recreational. The needs of waterborne commerce in terms of the project were carefully and objectively weighed against the potential impacts on the environment as well as the valid objections of concerned individuals and organizations. All phases of the project have been and continue to be coordinated with the appropriate Federal, State and local agencies having perti­ nent responsibilities.

S. waters of the Great Lakes and sport fishing is limited. Canada allows commercial harvest from Ontario waters of Lake Huron only. Lake sturgeon is considered threatened or endangered by 19 of the 20 states within its original range in the U.S. Lake sturgeon abundance was reduced dramatically in the late 1800’s by commercial overfishing and habitat degradation. The life history characteristics of lake sturgeon, late maturity and infrequent spawning after maturity, prevent populations from rebounding quickly after such catastrophes. Fishery agencies are providing training and equipment to commercial fishers for data collection from lake sturgeon.

  • A Trip Down the Lakes in 1929
    A Trip Down the Lakes in 1929 On a warm, July afternoon in 1929, a crowd of well-dressed people mills about a dock of the Chicago, Duluth & Georgian Bay Transit Company on the bayfront near the heart of downtown Duluth. Many of the men are attired in white flannel trousers, crew-neck sweaters, blazers and deck shoes. The women wear print dresses and sensible block-heel shoes. Some have a sweater draped about their shoulders because of the cool breeze off the water. Most of the younger women are hatless, although several sport velvet headbands or a more rakish cloche. All are excitedly talking about their upcoming adventure, for looming above them is the silhouette of the South American, one of the two half-sisters of the Georgian Bay Line. The twin funnels belch smoke as the captain gets up steam in the scotch boilers for a 4 p.m. departure. 1 From the 1920s to the 1940s, the Twin Ports hosted thousands of passengers each summer as a preferred port of call for more than a dozen Great Lakes cruise liners. The Juniata and Octorara of the Anchor Line were frequent callers at the Head of the Lakes, as were the Huronic, Noronic and Hamonic of Canada’s Northern Navigation Company. But the most frequent caller was the South American, which for 40-plus years featured round-trip voyages between Duluth and Buffalo. 2 From her launching in 1914 until 1923, the South American had one funnel, as depicted in this pen-and-ink drawing by the late Arvid Morken of Superior.

  • 1 Investigations Into Recent Declines in Survival of Brown Trout Stocked
    Michigan Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Research Report 2075 Investigations into Recent Declines in Survival of Brown Trout Stocked in Lake Charlevoix and Thunder Bay, Lake Huron James E. Johnson Michigan Department of Natural Resources Alpena Fisheries Research Station 160 East Fletcher Street Alpena, Michigan 49707 Gerald P. Rakoczy Michigan Department of Natural Resources Charlevoix Fisheries Research Station 96 Grant Street Charlevoix, Michigan 49720 Abstract.–Sharp declines in the Thunder Bay, Lake Huron and Lake Charlevoix brown trout fisheries prompted investigations into the causes of brown trout failures in these waters and possible solutions. Both Thunder Bay and Lake Charlevoix are located in the northern part of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. Test netting and diet studies of predators and prey in Thunder Bay during 1990 showed that piscivorous fish, particularly walleyes, consumed recently stocked brown trout, but that spawning aggregations of alewives during June appeared to buffer predation on stocked trout by offering ample alternate prey. The stocking date for brown trout, which had been early May, was therefore changed to mid-June in 1992. Two strains of brown trout, Wild Rose and Seeforellen, were selected for field evaluation based on evidence of satisfactory lacustrine performance elsewhere, and programmed for testing in Thunder Bay and Lake Charlevoix. These strains were also compared with Plymouth Rock strain, which had been stocked in both systems prior to the study. Both Seeforellen and Wild Rose strains produced greater returns and faster growth than Plymouth Rock strain. Seeforellen and Wild Rose strains were similar to each other with respect to returns to creel, growth rates, and longevity in the fishery.
