This study has developed flood-risk data for various areas of the community that will be used to establish actuarial flood insurance rates and to assist the community in its efforts to promote sound floodplain management. Minimum floodplain management requirements for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 44 CFR, 60.3. Please note that the Village of Lennon is geographically located in Genesee and Shiawassee Counties and the Village of Ovid is geographically located in Clinton and Shiawassee Counties. Only the portions of the Villages of Lennon and Ovid that are located in Shiawassee County are included in this countywide FIS. The FIS report and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for areas outside of Shiawassee County are printed separately. Please note that the Cities of Durand, Laingsburg, and Perry; the Villages of Lennon, Morrice, and Ovid; and Townships of Antrim, Fairfield, Perry, Sciota, and Woodhull have no mapped flood hazard areas. In some states or communities, floodplain management criteria or regulations may exist that are more restrictive or comprehensive than the minimum Federal requirements. In such cases, the more restrictive criteria take precedence and the State (or other jurisdictional agency) will be able to explain them. The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) and FIS report for this countywide study have been produced in digital format. Flood hazard information was converted to meet the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) DFIRM database specifications and Geographic Information System (GIS) format requirements. The flood hazard information was created and is 1 provided in a digital format so that it can be incorporated into a local GIS and be accessed more easily by the community. 1.2 Authority and Acknowledgments The sources of authority for this FIS are the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. Precountywide Analyses Information on the authority and acknowledgements for each jurisdiction included in this countywide FIS, as compiled from their previously printed FIS reports, is shown below: Caledonia, The hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for the Charter Township of: Shiawassee River for the November 17, 1981, FIS report (FEMA, 1981) were performed by Commonwealth Associates, Inc., for FEMA, under Contract No. H-4729.

  • Thompson Lake Livingston County, T3N R4E,5E Section 25, 30, 31,36 Shiawassee River Watershed
    Michigan Department of Natural Resources 2006-21 Status of the Fishery Resource Report Page 1 Thompson Lake Livingston County, T3N R4E,5E Section 25, 30, 31,36 Shiawassee River Watershed Joseph M. Leonardi Environment Thompson Lake is located in the city limits of Howell in central Livingston County. It is an impoundment of Alger Creek, a tributary to Bogue Creek, which drains to the South Branch Shiawassee River. The South Branch Shiawassee River flows northerly to the mainstem Shiawassee River and to the Saginaw River and Lake Huron. The Howell area lies within the Ionia district of the Southern Lower Michigan Regional Landscape Ecosystem and is characterized by features identified in the Lansing sub-district (Albert 1995). The Lansing sub-district is described as gently sloping ground moraine broke by outwash channels and numerous end-moraine ridges. Undulating topography formed alternating well drained rises and poorly drained depressions of variable soils. Soils on raised moraines generally consist of medium texture sand and loam while depressions along end moraine ridges are typically fine texture, high in organic content. Outwash channels developed by glacial retreat generally formed the river and stream drainage pattern of the watershed. Shiawassee River basin groundwater and surface water patterns follow geological soils types. Medium textured soils found in the Howell area allow for greater permeability and hydraulic head pressure (groundwater elevation) resulting in groundwater deposits. Most groundwater deposits in the Shiawassee River watershed are largely concentrated in southern and southeastern portions where Thompson Lake is located (Cooper 2005). Groundwater inflow to Thompson Lake provides a stable water source necessary to maintain the aquatic ecosystem.

  • Shiatown Dam Assessment: Guiding a Community Decision for Action
    SHIATOWN DAM ASSESSMENT: GUIDING A COMMUNITY DECISION FOR ACTION PREPARED FOR: FRIENDS OF THE SHIAWASSEE RIVER BY: DAVID CHADWICK MEGAN HEARNE MICHAEL SCHULLER JOSEPH SHORT A PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SCHOOL OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT APRIL 2003 FACULTY ADVISORS: ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR MICHAEL MOORE ADJUNCT PROFESSOR PAUL SEELBACH Abstract The Shiatown Dam is in disrepair and potentially threatens life and property. It nearly failed during a high water event in February 2001. Shiatown Dam is a run-of-the-river structure in the Shiawassee River, a low gradient, warm water river that drains 1260 square miles of central Michigan. The dam no longer serves an economic purpose, and many of the recreational benefits of the impoundment have disappeared as a result of dam deterioration, sedimentation and poor water quality. County residents and the owner, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, agree that action is necessary to prevent failure of the dam and to restore the value of the site. We defined the relative merits of dam repair, replacement, and removal by conducting ecological, social, and economic assessments at local and watershed levels. The cornerstone of our social assessment was a mail survey of 1500 people with a 43% response rate. Respondents greatly value the dam and river for historic significance and passive recreational opportunities. Survey results show 78% support restoring the dam despite known problems at the site. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, dam safety regulator for the state, has recommended major repairs for all parts of the dam.

  • (PFAS) in the Saginaw River Watershed: Surface Water Sampling October 2019
    Investigation of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in the Saginaw River Watershed: Surface Water Sampling October 2019 Perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are a very large class of man-made organic chemicals that have been used in numerous industrial processes and consumer products for over 60 years. Validated analytical methods are available for relatively few of the thousands of compounds. Much of the environmental monitoring of PFAS in Michigan has focused on measuring only perfluorinated chemicals. Many PFAS are persistent, some bioaccumulate in the environment, and several are toxic to mammals and/or birds in laboratory tests. The toxicities of most PFAS have not been evaluated. Two perfluorinated compounds; perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), have been the subject of the most toxicological work and environmental monitoring. Both compounds were manufactured intentionally, but they can also be generated as byproducts when other fluorinated compounds break down. In addition, several PFAS are key ingredients in fire-fighting foams. These foams have been used extensively in fire training exercises at military bases nation-wide; in recent years PFAS have been detected in surface and groundwater near many military facilities. Many products containing PFAS are used in numerous industrial processes including metal plating, textile production and treatment, and specialty paper production. Industrial and domestic waste containing these compounds can enter the environment through municipal or private waste treatment systems, stormwater runoff, venting groundwater, or as deposition after emissions into the atmosphere. Both PFOS and PFOA have been measured in surface waters across the state, and PFOS has been detected in most fish tissue samples from Michigan waters that have been analyzed for PFAS.

  • The Shiawassee River Canoe/Kayak Guide January 2, 2017
    The Shiawassee River Canoe/Kayak Guide January 2, 2017 Author: Phil Hathaway, and Member— Friends of the Shiawassee River For Its Course Principally through Shiawassee County, Michigan General Information. The Shiawassee River corridor has been called a “country scenic” valley with farm fields and forested flood plains and embankments forming the landscape. With a few exceptions, the Shiawassee River’s course in Shiawassee County is great for beginners with some interesting riffles and obstructions in the way of rocks and tree falls that provide a challenge for some. Frequent changes in the river height from storms or spring melt raise the navigation conditions to intermediate and advanced status and these high water periods are not recommended for beginners. There are six impoundments/dams along the way: Shiatown (partially dismantled and now 4 feet high, removal in summer, 2017), Corunna (5 feet high; removal summer, 2017), Parshallburg (partially dismantled) the Byron Mill Pond Dam, and the three impoundments (“weirs”) in Owosso. Only the Owosso weirs and Parshallburg impoundments are navigable and are recommended for canoeists with some experience. All the impoundment structures may be portaged with the temporary exceptions of the Shiatown and Corunna dams that will be removed. Another obstruction, a concrete deck, is located upstream from Corunna at the brick factory site and requires a sweep to the south embankment to navigate through a properly sized culvert. Except for flood stage or high water, the boating season is year-round for the hardiest. The ‘ordinary person’ season extends from mid-April to late October with a pre-trip check advised on low flow conditions that can occur anytime.

  • Restoring the Shiawassee Flats
    UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SCHOOL OF NATURAL RESOURCES & ENVIRONMENT Restoring the Shiawassee Flats Estuarine Gateway to Saginaw Bay Prepared by: Janet Buchanan, Seta Chorbajian, Andrea Dominguez, Brandon Hartleben, Brianna Knoppow, Joshua Miller, Caitlin Schulze, Cecilia Seiter with historical land use analyses by Yohan Chang A project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science at the University of Michigan April 2013 Client: Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge Faculty advisors: Dr. Michael J. Wiley, Dr. Sara Adlerstein-Gonzalez, Dr. Kurt Kowalski (USGS-GLSC) Preface In 2011, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Ducks Unlimited received a $1.5 million Sustain Our Great Lakes grant for the first phase of a wetland restoration project at the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, outside Saginaw, Michigan. The ambitious project seeks to hydrologically reconnect a 2,260-acre complex of bottomland farm fields and diked wetlands to the dynamic river systems surrounding the Refuge. The goals of this restoration are to provide fish, birds, and insects with access to a large, restored wetland complex both through hydrologic reconnection and wetland restoration; and to contribute to the delisting of at least three of the Beneficial Use Impairments in the Saginaw River/Bay Area of Concern, just downstream of the Refuge. Phase I of the restoration project involves the conversion of 940 acres of former farmland, now owned by the Refuge, to ecologically productive wetland, and its hydrologic reconnection to the Shiawassee and Flint Rivers. The grant for Phase I included enough funds to complete the design, engineering, and implementation of the project.

  • Status of the Fishery Resource Report, 2016-220, Shiawassee River
    Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources 2016-220 Status of the Fishery Resource Report Page 1 Shiawassee River - Chesaning Rock Ramp Saginaw County, T09N/R03E/S16 Shiawassee River Watershed Joseph M. Leonardi, Fisheries Biologist Environment The Shiawassee River is one of four principle tributaries of the Saginaw River located in southeast Michigan (Figure 1). Originating in Oakland County, the Shiawassee River flows northerly for 110 miles before it joins the Flint, Cass, and Tittabawasee rivers to form the Saginaw River. The Saginaw River flows to Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron. The Village of Chesaning is located on the Shiawassee River in southern Saginaw County approximately 15 miles upstream of its confluence with the Saginaw River (Figure 1). Chesaning is a semi-rural community with a population of approximately 2,500. Residential housing, small businesses, and recreational park populate the 3 square mile Village limits. Agriculture dominates landuse outside of the Village limits. History Chesaning Dam was a centerpiece for the Village and enabled navigation of the Chesaning Showboat in the upstream impoundment giving credence to the Village moniker as "Showboat City". Since 1937, the Village hosted the "Chesaning Showboat Festival" which was key to the community's cultural identity and economic vitality. Chesaning Dam was built in 1863 for grist mill operations. The dam was a fixed crest "rock-crib" style structure covered with concrete and spanned 211 feet. The dam had a structural height of 9 feet and impounded an estimated 17 acres of water. Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) classified it as a low hazard dam. Current Status Although Chesaning Dam had been in need of repair for a number of years, conditions worsened in March 2005 when a center portion collapsed requiring emergency repair (Figure 2).
