P:roocess 0 "Im in and Backcasti ": Assistant Director Cleary intl'od:uaed Dav~ Hales~ Un~vel'sity of Michigan~ who discussed the pl'actiae of "Imaging and Baakcasting". He discussed the process whiah is a training tool aimed at deveZoping a fpamework in which to handle decisions as opposed to attempting to deal with decisions on a one on-one aase basis. He indicated that one of the prob lerns that organi2ations frequently encounter is the ppeoacupation of day-to- day needs and a Zaak of adequate time for future planning. He volunteered to conduct a session for the commission aimed at attempting to identify future needs. The Commission was very receptive to Mr. HaZes' suggestion and asked Executive Assistant Robertson to arrange this session in the near future. The meeting adJourned at lO:50 p.m. Minutes November 7-9, 1984 Page 3
Acting Chairman Monsma called the regular monthly meeting of the Natural Resources Commission to order at 9:00 a.m., Thursday, November 8, 1984. * * * STAFF REPORTS European Resource Recovery Tour: Commissioner Fluharty reported that 18 Michigan people toured resource recovery facilities in Northern Europe. The tour was funded by grants from the German Marshall Fund of the United States and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. No State funds were used. Fred Clinton, Community Assistance Division, distributed a report containing details of the tour which was made up of.legis1~tors, local government officials, environmental groups, business representa tives and news media people. The purpose of the visit was to provide key decision makers an opportunity to observe resource recovery operations. The tour included visits to six waste energy facilities, one landfill, and one recyc1ing-composting operation. Detailed scientific and cost data were not gained. It was found that odor, litter, traffic and noise can be controlled. Areas of air emissions, bottom ash and fly ash are still of concern. It is possible to reduce the total volume of waste by 90%, which is a substantial step in getting away from landfills. A more detailed report on the tour will be presented at the December, 1984, meeting. Evaluation of Seasonal Lake Trout Closures: Dave Borgeson, Acting Chief, Fisheries DiviSion, reported on lake trout closures on Lakes Michigan and Huron and reviewed the impacts of the new rule as requested by Commissioner Carollo. A meeting was held November 5, 1984, with staff and interested groups. The general consensus, except for Northern Lake Huron, was that the sport fishing regulations should be extended to June through Labor Day. However, a change should await progress that is expected on the Indian fishing litigation. Minutes November 7-9, 1984 Page 4
Wilderness and Natural Areas Implementation Plan: Dennis Hall, Land Resource Programs Division, distributed and presented a report on the Wilderness and Natural Areas Program Reactivation. He provided background information stating that 19 areas have been dedicated since 1979, totalling 53,000 acres. The following recommendations were made: 1. That the Governor reestablish the Wilderness and Natural Areas Advisory Board. 2. That the Department begin evaluating the feasibility of creating a Michigan Natural Heritage Program, which could combine several programs to protect Michigan's outstanding natural features, including the Wilderness and Natural Areas Act, Natural Beauty Roads Act, Natural Rivers Act, Sand Dune Protection, Natural Features Inventory Project, and others. 3. That the Division continue to participate in the development process of the Department's Forest Management Plans--one function will be to ensure proper consideration of natural features information into that planning process. With Legislative approval of the proposed 1985-86 budget, the Department can begin moving the Wilderness and Natural Areas Program forward with the formal dedication of the 16 acres which remain pending for action. Depending upon the final outcome of the examination of the establish ment of a Michigan Natural Heritage Program, this effort could begin in October of 1985. With the information provided from the Natural Features Inventory Project, the Wilderness and Natural Areas Advisory Board can begin evaluating many of the areas identified by that effort for possible incluSion under the Act. Commissioner Carollo requested that staff prepare for him information on deer density within the Porcupine Mountains State Park as well as comparable areas in the lake Superior watershed outside of the Park boundaries. Commissioner Monsma expressed concern over how much staff support would be available when the Wilderness and Natural Areas Advisory Board is appointed by the Governor. Hall stated he would be assuming this responsibility, along with handling three other statutes. Monsma feels there is a need for at least one full-time staff person. Minutes November 7-9, 1984 Page 5
COfllllissioner Fluharty, supported by Commissioner Anderson, moved that the Commission: a) urge the Governor to make appointments to the Wilderness and Natural Areas Advisory Council; b) request the Director to look at the possibility of establishing a Natural Heritage Program that might involve consolidation of existing programs in related areas; c) request the Director to offer staff assistance to the Wilderness and Natural Areas Advisory Council as it develops plans for implementation of a program and budget; and d) be informed of progress in these areas six months from now. The Motion carried by voice vote. Pere Marquette Brown Trout Study: Dave Borgeson introduced the subject of the early results of a study recently done on the Pere Marquette River. He expressed pleasure with the results of the discussions with Dr. William Taylor and Kyle Kruger of Michigan State University, but the study does pose questions. The study will be helpful in making decisions and is a basis for further research on the Pere Marquette. Dr. William Taylor gave background and presented data on brown trout angler days and angler catches. Questions that need to be addressed are: to decide what kind of fish should be in the Pere Marquette; to decide if the brown trout population has been harmed significantly; to determine if there is a decline in the number of brown trout fishermen on the River. Taylor compared other trout streams with the Pere Marquette to determine the potential capabilities. * * * The meeting recessed at 11:00 a.m. to meet with the Michigan Agriculture Commission, 4th Floor, Ottawa Towers North, Lansing, Michigan. Minutes November 7-9, 1984 Page 6

Laidlaw accepted the Award and stated that valuable recreational strides have been made in Michigan to enhance the lives of Michigan's citizens. * * * Dennis Fija1kowski, Michigan Wildlife Habitat Foundation, commended the Department for its involvement in restoring the Mil1i-Ander Marsh along U.S.~27. He acknowledged the cooperation of many agencies involved in the restoration project. Dr. Ronald O. Kaep, Provost and Vice President, Alma College, urged the Comm;sslon to support the reactivation of the Wilderness and Natural Areas Act, 1972 PA 241, ensuring that sufficient staff and budget be allocated to carry out all of the responsibilities incorporated into the Act. He also recommended that the Department explore the feasibility of the consolidation of related programs into a Natural Heritage Program. Mark Sellers, Michigan Herpetology Association, discussed the protection of reptiles, including snakes. He voiced appreciation to Commissioner Anderson for his concern for the protection of these reptiles. He expressed the need for language in the fishing regulations stating that some snakes are endangered and are protected by law. Slides depicting various snake species were presented. Ben Myler, Pere Marquette Watershed Council, discussed the decline of the brown trout population in the Pere Marquette River. The Management Plan for the River addresses the problem of erosion and chemicals. Minutes November 7-9, 1984 Page 8
Bob Nicholson, Pere Marquette Watershed Council, expressed concern with the condition of the Pere Marquette River. There is universal agreement that improved habitat would improve the quality and quantity of fish. Many groups have pledged funds to improve the River. Nicholson voiced pleasure that the Department staff is willing to discuss further the Management Plan for the Pere Marquette River. He outlined the social problems that salmon create. Borgeson does not feel that all social problems can be resolved, but hopefully a balance can be worked out and a plan can be provided that the Council can endorse. Andy Pelt, Executive Director, Michigan Steel head and Salmon Fishermen's Association, said his Association will work with the Watershed Council to develop a quality fishery. John Scott, Acting Deputy Director, expressed appreciation to the various organizations and the public that have and will contribute money and muscle toward improving the Pere Marquette River fishery. Snagging is now illegal on the River. Senate Bill 836 will be considered on November 14 and, if passed, would designate three areas for continued snagging, the Pere Marquette being one of those areas. Director Skoog reiterated Scott's expression of appreciation. He also stated the need for a management plan to allow a quality recreation and fishing area. Frank Mainville, Outdoor Editor, Lansing State Journal, on behalf of himself and Butch Sapp, Outdoor Writer for the Macomb Daily, urged the Natural Resources Commission to consider recognizing the late Ray Trombley, Lake St. Clair Advisory Committee, for his contribution to the St. John's Marsh by naming or renaming a portion thereof in his memory. Mr. Trombley passed away on November 2, 1984. Cliff Kelley, General Manager, Pittsburgh Plate Glass Industries, Inc. discussed plans for a Michigan project for solution mining for potash. He focused on the environmental aspects of the project and the design concepts. Pittsburgh Plate Glass Industries, Inc. is a major producer of chemicals. He described the solution mining process. The facility is self-contained and is expected to operate in a safe and helpful manner in Michigan. He discussed employment prospects. Minutes November 7-9, 1984 Page 9
Don Metzger, Director, Exploration and Michigan Operations, Pittsburgh Plate Glass Industries, Inc., discussed the environmental management program for the proposed test facility in Mecosta and Oscoda Counties. He outlined a written commitment that will be given to landowners assuring them of safe environmental conditions. He highlighted the successful operation of an existing facility in the Province of Saskatchewan. Discussion followed relative to employment opportunities, details of uSing an above-ground system, aesthetics, permits, protection of local residents, environmental protection, etc. STAFF REPORTS Attorney General's Office Report: Tom Emery, Assistant Attorney General, reported. that Russell Prins has transferred from the Lands, Lakes and Leases Division to the Revenue Division of the Department of Attorney General. This will require reassignment of responsibilities and will have an affect on the Department of Natural Resources. Emery discussed the question of governmental immunity. The laws of this State are unclear on the definition of immunity. The State has already been sued as being a party to a landfill operation as a result of issuing a permit for the site. More of these situations are expected to surface in the near future. If this happens it will severely diminish the services now rendered to the Department. The solution to this problem rests with the Legislature and/or the Supreme Court. Arrangements are being made to schedule a joint meeting between the Natural Resources Commission and Attorney General Kelley early in 1985. The Commission requested a listing of pending cases prior to the scheduled meeting. The meeting recessed at 5:00 p.m.; reconvened at 9:15 a.m. STAFF REPORTS Surface Water Qualit Division Activit Re ort: Paul Zugger, Chief, ur ace Water ua lty Dlvislon, presented an overview of the following two items, as previously requested by the Commission: Dober Pit Mine Discharge, Iron County: This abandoned underground mine has flooded due to groundwater intrusion. The pit discharges approximately 130 gallons per minute of low pH, high iron precipitate water to the Iron River and pollution extends at times to the Brule River, which forms the interstate boundary with Wisconsin. Minutes November 7-9, 1984 Page 10
Studies have been undertaken to devise a treatment system to eliminate the effects of current discharges on the receiving waters. A draft proposal appears to be a viable project and staff expects the final proposal to be available by the end of November. If approved, implementation will be pursued. Staff is conSidering the eligibility of the project under Act 307, Public Acts of 1972. The Commission requested it be advised when a decision is reached on whether to go the route of Act 307 or to attempt to have Hanna Mining Company pay the costs. Commissioner Carollo believes the Mining Company has offered to do the work for $10,000. Zugger will work with the Hanna Mining Company regarding corrective action at the Dober Pit. Rouge River, Melvindale: The Division received reports that there was sewage and dead fish in the Rouge River in the Melvindale area on September 1 and 2, 1983. These reports were investigated and various corrective actions have been pursued. Wayne County has corrected dry-weather bypasses, and dredging of sludge deposits in the Detroit-Dearborn Channel is underway. This should improve the situation. The odors, dead fish and sewage (sludge) in the River during this period were the result of a combination of events that involved combined sewer overflows, dry weather bypasses and the Rouge River IIconcrete channel" itself. A long-term solution must address the entire Rouge River basin and all the combined sewer overflow occurrences within that basin in addition to the Detroit-Dearborn Channel. Minutes November 7-9, 1984 Page 11
Johns discussed the program expansion of 45 positions for the Division. He presented an update on Act 307, Public Acts of 1972, program implementation. In late summer, the legislature appropriated $23.9 million for the first site response actions slated under Act 307. Johns discussed the short-term corrective actions in the Battle Creek area as a result of the contamination of the Verona Well field area. As of September 27, 1984,75,000 tons of hazardous waste and contaminated soil has been removed from the Berlin and Farro site by the responsible parties. With the completion of this phase of cleanup, further site investigations will be conducted to identify remaining on-site and off-site contamination and to determine appropriate further remedial actions. Johns highlighted the recommendations contained in the Governor's Groundwater Protection Initiatives for which the Groundwater Quality Division is responsible. Commissioner Fluharty voiced the need for . assistance from the Attorney General's Office on Act 64, Public Acts of 1979, the Hazardous Waste Management Act, and Act 641, Public Acts of 1978, the Solid Waste Management Act, and requested that the Natural Resources Commission meet with the Department of Attorney General. Commissioner Fluharty requested that the Commission be informed of the Department of Natural Resources focal pOints for public contact in the Department with regard to groundwater which should be completed by November 15, 1984. Johns agreed to provide these when completed. Through a review of Department underground storage tanks, it was found the Department has very serious problems. Johns indicated a draft policy on underground storage would be available by the end of the month. The Commission requested copies of the draft policy as soon as it becomes available. Johns advised that the Michigan Environmental Review Board directed the Director of the Department of Natural Resources to prohibit the release of oil and gas field brines on roads: until a study is made to determine acceptable levels of organisms in brines; until currently known sources are analyzed for organics; and until a monitoring program has been designed. Informational and evidential hearings will be held on November 26 and 29, 1984, respectively. Minutes November 7-9, 1984 Page 12
DIRECTOR'S MATTERS Director's Office Management Plan: Darrel Allen, Management Specialist, reviewed the Management Plan for 1984-85. The Mission of the Department of Natural Resources is to conserve and develop the State's natural resources; to protect and enhance the State's environmental quality; and to provide quality recreation oppor tunities; all for the optimum benefit "of present and future generations. Allen identified the Department's management philosophy, key result areas, and the goals and objectives of the Department. Director Skoog expressed strong support for the Management Plan and stated he intends to move forward in an expeditious manner. STAFF REPORTS Walleye in West Lake Erie: Dave Borgeson stated that in response to concerns expressed by Representative Jerry Bartnik, progress has been made toward his plea to relax sport fishing rules with a higher creel limit in West Lake Erie. A Commi.ssion Order has been drafted after discuSSions with Ohio, Ontario, and DNR field staff. The proposed Order does expand the creel' limit from 6 to 10. Garden Peninsula Commercial Fishing: Dave Borgeson reported on meetings held with Garaen Peninsula commercial fishermen who have been concerned about not being able to take yellow perch. Commercial fishermen want an opportunity allowing some licensed trap net fishing on the Garden. Sixteen small mesh trap nets could be used as a research permit. The Attorney General's recommendation is that the Department not issue licenses for changes until March of 1985, as progress is expected on the Tribal fishing rights issue.

_~-:--_~~~-:-:--::-:-::-::-~, 19 __ MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION October 22, 1984 (EXECUT IVE ASS IST ANT> Memorandum to the Natural Resources Gommission: Adoption of Adjusted Liquid Net Back Royalty Formula And Acceptance of Proportionate Settlement Royalty Share·of $835,260.47
Shell Western E and P, Inc., is the holder (lessee) of state oil and gas leases. Certain of these leases produce gas well gas, gas well liquids, oil well gas and oil well liquids which are processed at the Kalkaska Gas Plant, Township of Kalkaska, Kalkaska County, Michigan. This facility is owned by Shell. In June of 1984, a settlement was reached between Shell and private Shell royalty owners (Albert K. Brown et al. v. Shell Oil Company; Circuit Court. Grand Traverse County) which included a revised "liquid net back" royalty calculation formula and a negotiated payment settlement for hydrocarbons pro cessed at the Kal kaska facil ity. The time period covered by the settlement for the lump sum payment fs January 1. 1978 through December 31. 1983. The effective date of implementation of the revised royalty formula is January 1, 1984. Shell, upon initiation of the litigation in 1981 by the plaintiffs, contacted the State of Michigan (who was not a party to the litigation) and stated its intent to treat all royalty owners in a consistent manner, regard less of whether they participated in the litigation. Shell. in March, 1984, discussed the revised royalty formula with staff and, in July of 1984, delivered a lump sum payment of $835,260.47 to the staff. Th·is amount is presently in an escrow account. Upon acceptance by the Commission, the funds will be distrib uted to the proper accounts, which include Heritage Trust Fund, FiSh arid Game .. Fund .and General Fund. based on how and when mineral title was acquired by the State. Staff has reviewed the revised royalty calculation formula and the terms of the settlement in the abovementioned litigation and recommends the following: Recommendations (1) The lump sum payment of $835.260.47 be accepted. (2) The revised "liquid net back" royalty calculation formula proposed by Shell be accepted.
I (3) The Department be authorized to enter into an agreement (Attachment A - Agreement Amending Leases) with Shell to amend existing State leases to incorporate the revised royalty formula as described in the agreement, and to cover all future leases which would have hydrocarbons processed at Shell's Kalkaska Processing Plant. R~~ ROLAND HARMES, Chief 1~ Lands Division I have analyzed and discussed these recommendations with the Deputy Directors and staff and we concur.
RONALD O.~ SKOOG Director AGREEMENT AMENDING LEASES
The State of Michigan, acting by and through its Natural Resources Commission (herein "the State"), and Shell Western E&P Inc. (herein "Shell") enter this agreement this day of , 1984, but effective as of January 1, 1984: The State, as lessor, has heretofore entered into numerous oil and gas leases (herein "the leases") which as of the date hereof were held in whole or in part by Shell as lessee, and under which leases gas and unstabilized gas liquids have been or may be produced, and which gas and liquids have been or may be processed at Shell's Kalkaska Processing Plant. The leases are listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. Pursuant to the terms of the leases, gas royalties, where due, have been paid to the State by Shell and its predecessor lessee based on the contract price received by lessee for each MCF of gas measured at the wellhead (adjusted for compression, dehydration and treating) plus an amount representing the value of processing rights determined by deducting the plant volume reduction value from a percentage of the value of liquids produced at the Shell Kalkaska Plant. Effective from 1978, the royalty calculation has been adjusted. to compensate the State for any adverse impact on royalty resulting from increased ethane production at the Plant. Following settlement of Cause No. 8l-8858-CK in the Circuit Court for the County of Grand Traverse Michigan,
Albert K. Brown et ale V. Shell Oil Companv , SItell and the
State have agreed to revise the method for calculating royalties
under the leases in a manner consistent with the method of
royalty calculation provided in the settlement of said case as
approved by said Circuit Court.
Accordingly it is hereby agreed as follows:
1. . Definitions:
(A) Kalkaska Gas Plant. The Kalkaska Gas Plant is a
gas processing plant owned by Shell located in the Township
of Kalkaska, Cotinty of Kalkaska~ and State of Michigan.

pipeline transportation system owned by ~1ichigan Consoli
dated"Gas Company through which gas well gas, gas well
liquids, oil well gas, and oil well liquids from certain
wells are transported to the Kalkaska Gas Plant.
(C) Michigan Consolidated Gas Company. W'herever
used herein, reference to 1-1ichigan Consolidated Gas Company
shall include its successors and assigns as appropriate.
(D) Plant Inlet Volume. Plant inlet volume is defined
as the total volume of gas plus the c~lculated gas volume
equivalent of the total volume of liquids delivered by
Michigan Consolidated Gas Company to Shell at the Kalkaska
Gas Plant inlet through the wet header system.
(E) Residue Gas. Residue gas is the volume of gas
delivered by Shell to Michigan Consolidated Gas Company
at the outlet from the Kalkaska Gas Plant.
, __ ~. • ...... ,. ••• 'h .. · .. ·.'·...... ,~_~_ ..._ •• (F) Plant VolUMe Reduction. Plant volume reduction
is the difference between the plant inlet volume and the
residue gas volume.
(G) Gas Well Gas. Gas well gas is defined as that
portion of the well stream produced from a gas well which,
when injected into the wet header system for transporta
tion to the Kalkaska Gas Plant, is in gaseous form.
(H) Gas Well Liquids. Gas well liquids are defined
as that portion of the well stream produced from a gas
wel~ which, when injected into the wet header system for
transportation to the Kalkaska Gas Plant, are in liquid
form.
(I) Oil Well ~as. Oil well gas is defined as that
portion of the well stream from an oil well which, when
injected into the wet header systep for transportation to
the Kalkaska Gas Plant, is in gaseous form.
(J) Oil Well Liquids. Oil well liquids are defined
as that portion of the well stream from an oil .!Nell which,
when injected into the wet header system for transportation

function performed at the Kalkaska Gas Plant pursuant to
which plant products (liquid hydrocarbon products and
residue gas) are manufactured from the hydrocarbons
transported to the Kalkaska Gas Plant through the wet
header system.
-~ •• _ .f4.""' ___ "._,,'-"~'. (L) MCF. ~CF is a unit of measurement of gas volume equal to 1,000 cubic feet at 14.73 pounds,per square inch atmospheric pressure and 60 0 fahrenheit.
i. BTU Content. The BTU content is the heating value, expressed in millions of BTU's (MMBTU's) per
MCF, of a given volume of gas. ii. Wet Gas Stream BTU Content. The wet gas
stream BTU content is the number of l~TU's per MCF
. in a gas well gas or oil well gas stream measured on
a gross wet basis.
iii. Residue Gas BTU Content. The residue gas

iv. Recoverable BTU's. Recoverable BTU's are
the number of ~1BTU's measured on a gross wet basis
attributable to the liquid hydrocarbon products which would be produced from one MCF of oil welL gas or gas
well gas, assuming 70% recovery of ethane and 100%
recovery of propane and heavier hydrocarbon components
from the oil well gas or gas well gas stream in question. 2. Change In Royalty Calculation Methodology.
(A) Shell and the State agree that the new royalty
calculation methodology will be applied under the leases
from and after January 1, 1984, and shall be implemented
through regular payments as early as practicable where royalties are payable under the leases .
. ,. -, ~ '. " Additional royalties payable pursuant to the new royalty calculation methodology between January I, 198~, and the date of implementation of the new royalty calculation methodology shall be paid to the State before December 1, 1984. Under the new methodology, the following amounts will be attributed to each of the leases (herein "the lease") and shall form the basis for the computation and payment of royalty to the State: i. Gas Well Gas and oil Well Gas. The amount attributed to the lease for gas well gas and oil well gas shall be based upon a value for each t.1CF of gas well gas or oil well gas produced from a given well, which amount shall be the sum of the following: (a) The Michigan Consolidated Gas Company gas purchase contract price then in effect for the given well, multiplied by the average BTU content per MCF of residue gas delivered. by Shell to Michigan Consolidated Gas Company during the month in question. (b) An additional amount which shall be
equal to the value at the t~ilgate of the Kalkaska Gas Plant of the liquid products attributable to each r<1.CF of oil well gas or gas well gas less the value of the plant volume reduction attributed to the production of such liquid products based upon
7 · t .., .. ~ yo. the then-current Michi0an Consolidated Gas
purchase contract price attributable to the well
in question multiplied by a fraction whose
numerator shall be the BTU content of the wet
gas stream from such well less the average BTU
content of the residue gas and whose denominator
shall be the recoverable BTU's.
ii. Gas Well Liquids. The lease shall be
attributed 84% of the value, at the tailgate of the
Kalkaska Gas Plant, of plant products attributed to the lease in question.
iii. Oil Well Liquids. The lease shall be
attributed 83% of the value, at the tailgate of the
Kalkaska Gas Plant, of plant products attributed to the lease in question.
(B) The State as Lessor and Shell as Lessee hereby
amend each of the leases to include the agreement herein
contained, expressly providing that such leases as so
amended shall continue in force and effect according to
the terms thereof.

Agreement Area: 19.93 Acres
Recommended Consideration: $50.00 Minimum Value
A parcel of Lake Huron bottomland situated Southerly of and contiguous to Government Lots 3, 4 and 5, Section 29, Bois Blanc Township, Bois Blanc Island, Mackinac County, Michigan and described as follows:
Commencing at a point on the Government Lot Line between Government Lots 5 and 6, Section 29, Bois Blanc Township, Bois Blanc Island, Mackinac County; proceeding thence South 21 degrees 00 minutes West along said Government Lot Line a distance of 13.22 feet to a point where the Government Lot Line between Government Lots 5 and 6 intersects the Government Meander Line for the Point of Beginning of this description; thence South 71 degrees 00 minutes East along the Government Meander Line 210.45 feet; thence North 45 degrees 19 minutes 39 seconds East along the Government Meander Line 627.00 feet to a point on the Government Lot Line between Government Lots 4 and 5, S~ction 29; thence South 77 degrees 30 minutes East along the Government Meander Line 795.79 feet to the midpoint of Government Lot 3, Section 29; thence South 21 degrees 00 minutes West 890.00 feet; thence due West 230.00 feet; thence due North 55.00 feet; thence due West 366.05 feet; thence North 49 degrees 19 minutes 30 seconds West 173.51 feet; thence North 71 degrees 00 minutes West 82.00 feet; thence North 24 degrees 14 minutes West 330.00 feet; thence North 71 degrees 00 minutes West 200.00 feet to the Government Lot Line between Government Lots .5 and 6, Section 29; thence North 21 degrees 00 minutes East along said Government Lot Line 75.00 feet to the Point of Beginning of this Description, containing 19.93 acres, MIL.
Bois Blanc Township filed an application for a Public Use Agre~ment covering the above described Unpatented Lake Huron Bottomlands. The area encompasses the harbor created for the existing ferry dock, commercial dock, small boat anchorage and proposed future breakwater. This site has been the ferry dock for many years. However, during 1984, the township applied for and received permits to improve the area by lengthening the existing dock, and protecting one side of the dock. Investigation of the permit application revealed that the area was currently used as a mooring area and that the township was trying to bring order to the mooring area. The Department suggested a Public Use Agreement as a partial solution which would provide additional authority for the township. The only immediate change antici pated is the rearrangement of the mooring area to assure safe access and passage for
II 2 the ferry. Future actions may include placement of mooring buoys, and development of additional upland facilities. .
The Township has filed a complete application, survey, proof of upland ownership, local government approval and $50.00 filing fee. There have been no adverse comments to public notices for either the proposed conveyance or the earlier improvements. Both the Department and the Corps of Engineers have previously issued permits for the construction phase of the project. It is recommended under authority of Sections 3, 4, and 5, Act 247, Public Acts of 1955, as amended (pages 364-367, Natural Resources Law 1981 Revision) that the above described land be conveyed by public use agreement with the stipulation that the area be used for the ferry dock, a public commercial dock and a public mooring area with a revertor clause requiring that the property revert to the state if it ceases to be used for these public purposes. Receipt of the $50.00 f"" fee is hereby acknowledged and it is recommended that this be accepte as th inimum consideration authorized by the statute. ~cc.~~--- Karl R.

Re: Proposed Public Use Agreement to Great Lakes Bottomlands in Lake Huron, File 279
Applicant: Mackinac County Road Commission 710 State Street St. Ignace, Michigan 49781·
Agreement Area: 0.55 acres
Recommended Consideration: $50.00 Minimum Value
Two parcels of Lake Huron Bottomlands lying either side of an existing roadway easement connecting Hill's Island and Island No. 8 contiguous and adjacent to Government Lot 7, Section 33 T42N, RIE, Mackinaw County, described as: A strip of Lake Huron bottomland 37 feet in width lying directly Northwesterly of existing easement and a second strip of Lake Huron bottomland 27 feet in width lying directly Southeasterly of said existing easement. Said easement described as being 33 feet on each side of a centerline starting on the meander line of said Government Lot 7; North 3 degrees 45 minutes East 541.92 feet; South 44 degrees 16 minutes East 842.5 feet; and South 43 degrees 23 minutes 38 seconds West 35.8 feet from the Southwest corner of said Government Lot 7; thence running South 43 degrees 51 minutes West 379 feet to the Ordinary High Water mark of Island No.8.
The Mackinac County Road Commission has filed an application for a Public Use Agreement to the above described unpatented Lake Huron Bottomlands. They have received both federal and state permits to repair and improve the existing cause way/bridge. Our investigation revealed that the existing one-lane bridge is both dangerous to users and in danger of collapsing into the channel. The existing bridge/causeway deed is not sufficiently wide to allow any Changes in side slopes, roadway width or bridge foundations; therefore, an increase to 120 feet is desireable. The new width will provide clearance for boat traffic and improved safety on the roadway.
The original bridge was authorized under Act 84, P.A. 1959, which directed the Department to convey by easement certain unpatented bottomlands between Hill's Island and Island No.8 for bridge purposes. The County has filed a completed application, survey, proof of ownership, $50.00 filing fee and approval letters from the neighbors. There have been no adverse comments to a public nature on the proposal. It is recommended under authority of Sections 3, 4 and 5, Act 247, Public Acts of 1955, as amended (pages 364-367, Natural Resources Law, 1981 Revision) that the above described land be conveyed by a Public Use Agreement with a reverter clause 2 requiring that the property will revert to the State of Michigan if the property ceases to be used as a roadway accessible to all members of the public as well as residents of Hill Island. Receipt of the $50.00 filing fee is hereb wledged and it is recommended that this be accepted as the minimum consi eration au rized by the Statute.

Background Information:
The offered private 537 acre tract is located in southeast Alpena County, 11 miles south of Alpena, and within the Mackinaw State Forest. The improved property has l~ miles of Thunder Bay frontage on Lake Huron, and is accessible from Brousseau Road, a county maintained gravel road extending to the northwest portion of the property. Interior access is available along a trail road which runs in a south easterly direction across the property and is parallel to Lake Huron.
The 537 acre'site is flat, imperfectly drained, and supports a forest cover of uneven aged, mixed hardwoods and conifers. Most of the Thunder Bay shoreline consists of coastal wetlands, although there is 1/2 mile of gravel beach frontage on the northern part of the property.
Improvements on the property include a 864 square foot wood frame cottage, a 986 square foot wood frame residence, two flowing wells, and two 6 foot deep dredged channels that extend lakeward. One channel is 1,000 feet long while the second extends 3,000 feet into Lake Huron. The owner has reserved use of the cottage and a 10 acre portion of the site until December 1, 1986.
Although other State ownership does not adjoin the offered 537 acres, there is a large block of public land located 1/4 mile to the south including Newegon State Park located 1/2 mile to the east. This acquisition will bring into public owner ship the largest privately owned tract with great lake frontage in this portion of the Mackinaw State Forest.' Additionally, it will preserve a large stretch of ecologically sensitive coastal wetland and eliminate further potential future development.

P. No. 2604" "R. P. No. 2606" Background Information: This proposed exchange is advantageous to both the State and the applicant. The offered private land has been used by the public for recreation purposes because of its location adjacent to the State forest campground along the Big Huron River near Big Eric's Bridge. The desired State lands are bordered on three sides by the applicant's private forest holdings and will enhance the manageability of their existing ownership. The offered private 48.19 acres are situated 6 miles east of Skanee in northern Baraga County. The Big Huron River cascades northerly 2,400 feet across the property. It has a stoney bottom and averages 50 to 75 feet in width. This stream is one of the Upper Peninsula's most popular steelhead streams, with the adjacent campground on the State land to the south one of the more heavily used in the area. Banks range from 8 feet to 30 feet above flood levels of the stream. Drainage is reasonably good over the entire parcel. Northern hardwood poles predominate on the property, with a light stocking of sawtimber remaining after partial harvest three years ago. Fair woods logging roads provide access on both sides of the stream. The offered private 48.19 acre tract has been appraised at $33,900.00. The desired 150 acre State-owned tract is situated 12 miles south of L'Anse· in the south part of Baraga County. The property includes 101 acres of lightly rolling well drained upland, and 49 acres of swampland. The upland areas have a well stocked northern hardwood stand while the poorly drained areas range from moderately stocked swamp conifer pole timber to operi bog. An electric transmission line constructed in 1976 extends through the upland areas, encumbering 6.35 acres· in its cleared right of way. Woods logging roads extend through the property in addition to 1,400 feet of highway frontage along highway UR-4l. The desired State owned 150 acre tract has an appraised value of $33,900.00.

No. 2308" Government Mineral Exchange (MX-2) Applicant: United States Forest Service - Department of Agriculture Federal Minerals Offered - 5,600.08 acres State Minerals Desired - 5,596.65 acres Background Information: This exchange of minerals is mutually beneficial to the Department of Natural Resources and the United States Forest Service (USFS). The Department will receive title to 5,600.08 mineral acres lying below State surface ownership while the USFS will obtain 5,596.65 mineral acres lying below National Forest land. The consolida tion of surface title with mineral title will greatly benefit land management objec tives of both agencies. The offered 5,600.08 acres of Federal mineral ownership are located in Allegan, Crawford, Mason and Wexford counties. The State obtained surface title to the 5,600.08 acres through Government Exchange No. 120 which was approved by the Natural Resources Commission in April 1984. Acceptance of the current Federal mineral rights will merge surface and mineral ownership into unified title. The desired 5,596.65 acres of State mineral ownership are scattered throughout 9 northern lower Michigan counties. Of the total~State mineral acreage desired by the USFS, 3,348.64 acres underlie former State surface conveyed to the USFS in Government Exchange No. 120. The remaining 2,248.01 mineral acres will be joined with USFS surface ownership acquired from the State in previOUS government exchanges. The mineral appraisal was made on the basis of equal speculative value. The evaluations were carried out by both USFS Geologists and the Department's Geological Survey Division. Both agencies are in agreement that the mineral potential on both sides of the exchange is equal. §g Offered Federal Minerals 5,600.08 acres in Allegan, Crawford, Mason and Wexford Counties ~ Desired State Minerals 5,596.65 acres in Alcona, Iosco.

All properties applied for have been reviewed with other department divisions and none have been found to be needed for department programs. Recommendations: (1) Title be conveyed under authority of Act 223, P.A. of 1909, as amended, (211.461). The Act requires that in the event of future sale of these properties, proceeds in excess of maintenance expenses shall be prorated to those governmental units having a tax equity. (2) The State deed reserve mineral rights, rights of ingress and egress to watercourses under authority of Act 280, P.A •. 1909, as amended, (page 118, Laws Relating to State Lands. 1966 edition). (3) Aboriginal antiquities be reserved on all parcels under the authority of Act 173, P.A. 1929, (page 94, Ibid). ~S~ Lands Division I have analyzed and discussed these recommendations with the Deputy Directors and staff and we concur. RONALD~ Director Background Information: General policy receited under 2625 notes that during the review of tax- . reverted lands annually deeded to the DNR, three basic options are open, namely; (1) Withhold from sale for conservation use; (2) Accept applications and deed title to municipalities or public agencies under Act 223, P.A. 1909, as amended, being the Public Use Deed Act; (3) Sell the properties at public auction and return proceeds to 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 depart ment, and secondly to determine if deeds of sale or by public use deed 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 or land parcels are applied for under Commission Policy No. 2625 and approved August 12, 1977 which states that the Department shall accept municipal and agency applications before pro ceeding to sell tax-reverted land not withheld for conservation use.

It has been the policy of the Commission to issue direct leases on small parcels of state-owned land to those applicants who submit proof that they hold the majority of the lease rights in the proposed drilling unit. This is consistent with the rules for oil and gas leases on state lands, promulgated in August of 1981. The applicant has submitted such proof. "R. P. No. 2306" BACKGROUND INFORMATION, CONT. The state-o\vned mineral rights are desired to consolidate the applicant's lease o\Yncrship within the sEh, Sec. 32. The applicant proposes to establish a l60-acre drilling unit. A drilling unit of 160 acres for this well will require approval by the Supervisor of Wells pursuant to Act 61, P.A. of 1961.
