  • Historical Human Impacts on the Grand River
    Historical Human Impacts on the Grand River Even before Europeans settled on the east banks of the Grand River, in what is now downtown Grand Rapids, humankind had been affecting the water quality of the Lower Grand River Watershed. Many native peoples used the Grand River for fishing, transportation, and other daily activities. 1“The Grand River is Michigan’s largest stream. It extends 270 miles through Jackson to Grand Haven. The Indians knew it as ‘Owashtanong’, meaning ‘far away waters’.” The Grand River Times in 1837 mentioned the Grand River as “one of the most important and delightful [rivers] to be found in the country” with “clear, silver-like water winding its way through a romantic valley.” Europeans impacted the river greatly in the next one hundred years as industrialization spread across the country. As early as 1889, Everette Fitch recorded the detrimental effects humankind was having on the Grand River. She wrote, “The channel was, as usual, covered with a green odiferous scum, mixed with oil from the gas works.” Even more than a century ago the Grand River was deteriorating, its banks clogged with mills and factories and its water clogged with logs and dams. In its history the river has been abused with waterpower, river-dependant industries, large increases in population, stripping of the forests, and discharges of chemical and sewage wastes. The prediction in 1905 by the Grand Rapids Evening Press was that by the year 2005 the Grand River would be more a sewer than a river. Today’s Human Impacts on the Grand River Today, technology and knowledge have been used to improve water quality in the main channel.

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

  • Tribal Great Lakes Restoration Culturally Inspired Restoration Sabin Dam Removal - Grand Traverse Band
    2019 Tribal Great Lakes Restoration Culturally Inspired Restoration Sabin Dam Removal - Grand Traverse Band Invasive Species Control - Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band Aerial Moose Survey - 1854 Treaty Authority Cover Photo: Wild Rice restored on Nottawa Creek near the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi Reservation Welcome Readers Dear Reader, The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) began in 2010 to accelerate efforts to protect and restore the Great Lakes. With the support of GLRI, tribes have substantially increased their capacity to participate in intergovernmental resource management activities for the Great Lakes alongside federal, state and other partners to address some of the most pressing challenges facing the Great Lakes. Indian country, comprised of reservation land bases and ceded territories where tribes retain rights, represents millions of acres within the Great Lakes Basin. Since 2010, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), with support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, has provided GLRI funding to more than 30 tribes and tribal organizations in the Midwest and Eastern Regions for Great Lakes protection and restoration projects. The BIA GLRI program has gradually increased, growing from $3 million in 2010 to over $11 million in 2019. In total, BIA has provided approximately $60 million in GLRI funding to tribes as of fall 2019 to implement over 500 tribally led restoration projects. These projects protected and restored 190,000 acres of habitat and approximately 550 miles of Great Lakes tributaries, and include over 40 distinct projects to protect and restore native species. The majority of tribal GLRI projects work to assess, monitor, protect and restore local waterways, habitats, and species such as lake sturgeon, moose, and wild rice essential for tribal life-ways and cultural continuity.

  • Pennsylvanian Pewamo Formation and Haybridge Strata of Central Michigan: the Youngest Rocks of the Michigan Basin?
    The Geological Society of America Special Paper 531 Pennsylvanian Pewamo Formation and Haybridge strata of central Michigan: The youngest rocks of the Michigan Basin? Kathleen C. Benison* Department of Geology and Geography, West Virginia University, 98 Beechurst Avenue, Morgantown, West Virginia 26506-6300, USA ABSTRACT Pennsylvanian red beds are the youngest known rocks in the Michigan Basin. Two new formation-level units, the Pewamo Formation and the Haybridge strata, have recently been described. The Pewamo Formation, composed of Pennsylvanian red sandstones and minor laminated mudstones, is known from outcrops, abandoned quarries, and one core in Ionia County. The Haybridge unit is located in the shal- low subsurface and in coal mine tailing piles in Shiawassee County. It consists of red sandstone, red mudstone, coal, and gray mudstone, all hosting Pennsylvanian macroscopic plant fossils. Neither the Pewamo nor the Haybridge rocks have any demonstrated relationship to red core cuttings reported as Jurassic from the central Lower Peninsula of Michigan. No fi rm evidence exists for Jurassic, or any other post- Pennsylvanian rocks in the Michigan Basin. The red core cuttings may be glacial sediments with reworked palynomorphs from rocks transported from elsewhere. A shallow coring project, followed by detailed sedimentologic, petrographic, miner- alogic, and paleontologic studies, is necessary to: (1) refi ne the vertical and lateral stratigraphy of the Pennsylvanian rocks in Michigan; (2) solve the “Jurassic red bed problem”; and (3) understand the late Pennsylvanian–Pleistocene history of the Michigan Basin. INTRODUCTION This time has been referred to as the “missing interval” for the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The Michigan Basin is rich in geologic resources, including The purpose of this paper is threefold: (1) to provide an over- oil, gas, salt, groundwater, and sand and gravel.

  • Upper Maple River Watershed Planning April 2008 Through March 2010
    Federal Clean Water Act Clinton Conservation District St. Johns, MI. Section 319(h) Grant Telephone (989) 224-3720 ext. 3 2007-0118 e-mail: [email protected] Upper Maple River Watershed Planning April 2008 through March 2010 A cooperative effort of government, business, education, citizen groups, and landowners, worked on the Watershed Management Planning project in the Upper Maple River Watershed. The waters hed encompasses portions of Clinton, Gratiot, and Shiawassee counties. The Maple River is on e of six major tributaries of the Grand River, which eventually flows into Lake Michigan. The area of focus, known as the Upper Maple River Watershed (Exhibit 1), is made up 16 smaller sub-watersheds and covers approximately 513 square miles. Portions of the Maple River State Game Area, the Gratiot-Saginaw State Game Area, and Sleepy Hollow State Park all fall within the watershed. The Cities of Ithaca, Fowler, and St. Johns are located inside the watershed, as well as the Villages of Maple Rapids, Ovid, Elsie, Perrinton, and Ashley. The dominant land use (Exhibit 2) in the watershed is agriculture. Low-density residential is the second most prominent land use in the watershed. Through an active stakeholder process, this project identified and prioritized sources and causes of pollution entering the river; established clear links and specific targets for enhancing the watershed; and facilitated interagency and intergovernmental cooperation in addressing land use issues and public investments to restore and protect the river. A key objective of the plan is to inform and educate both the general public and local officials about the need to protect the Maple River from land use practices leading to increased runoff and pollution that degrade water quality.
