UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1941 sEr^ •*«$• . AU TRAIN FALLS ON THE HIAWATHA NATIONAL FOREST. Drama of Michigan Forests DRAMA of the forests of Michigan has been written in several acts THEeach with its colorful pageantry. The action has concerned the magni ficent woodlands of the redman, the rapid depletion of those forests in the last century, and their slow but sure rebuilding in the present. The elusive "northwest passage" to China, Indian furs and Indian souls, iron and land and copper brought the white men to Michigan. In 1621, only 1 year after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, young Etienne Brule, protege of Champlain, reached Lake Superior and was disappointed to find its waters fresh. Thirteen years later, Jean Nicolet, another protege of the French governor of Canada, entered the unknown Lake Michigan through the Straits of Mackinac. Though he never found the longed-for route to the Orient, Nicolet did initiate the French fur trade with the Indians in this territory. Heroic followers of Brule and Nicolet were the Jesuit fathers Jogues and Raymbault, who preached to the Ojibwas in 1641 at Sault Ste.

The HMNF detennined that the proposed actions were "Likely to Adversely Affect" the norihern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). We base the enclosed Opinion on information provided in several documents, including your northern long-eared project matrix and Biological Assessment, the Programmatic Biological Assessment and Opinion for the HMNF's Land and Resource Management Plan, and our April 1, 2015, Conference Opinion. Other sources ofinfonnation include previous telephone conversations, e-mails and meetings. A complete administrative record of this consultation is on file at our East Lansing Field Office. After reviewing the current status of northern long-eared bat, the environmental baseline for the action area, the effects of the proposed action, and the cumulative effects, it is our biological opinion that the action, as proposed, is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of northern long-eared bat With respect to ESA compliance, all aspects of the project description are binding.

  • The National Forests of Michigan, Federal Payments to States
    The National Forests of Michigan Federal Payments to States The Eastern Region of the U.S. Forest Service The Federal Government reimburses States that contain National Forest System Lands in several ways. The 25 Percent Payments. The first county payment or revenue is the “25 Percent Fund payment.” The 25 Percent Fund payment is based on gross National Forest receipts within a National Forest and is allocated to counties by the proportion of the total National Forest acreage within each county in the particular National Forest. Secure Rural Schools. The Secure Rural Schools (SRS) program is an alternative to 25 Percent Payments. This program allows counties to elect the manner in which their payment is calculated. A county may choose to continue to receive the 25-percent payments based on a 7-year rolling average of receipts from national forests located in the State. Counties may elect to receive the Full Payment option, in which Title I dollars are allocated to roads and schools while Title II and III funds are spent on work completed on or that benefit National Forest System lands. The PILT Payment. Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) are Federal payments to local governments that help offset losses in property taxes due to nontaxable Federal lands within their boundaries. The key law that implements the payment is Public Law 94-565. The Law recognizes that the inability of local government to collect property taxes on Federally-owned land can create a financial impact. Mineral Royalties. The third major Federal program that funds States and counties involves mineral royalties generated on Federal lands.

  • Kirtland's Warbler Habitat Update Philip W. Huber, Keith Kintigh
    Kirtland’s Warbler Habitat Update Philip W. Huber, Keith Kintigh, Stephen Sjogren July 2013 Background The total acres of habitat dedicated to maintain the Kirtland’s warbler population above the minimum 1,000 pair recovery goal is based on data collected on how the birds are using their habitat. In 2001, a habitat analysis was completed based on a limited data set collected on the Huron-Manistee National Forests (HMNFs) (Bocetti, Probst, & Huber, 2001). That analysis included the following calculation: Average Acres per Pair = 38 acres (based on HMNF data) 38 acres/pair x 1,000 pairs minimum = 38,000 acres At that time, 38,000 acres was the amount of occupiable breeding habitat needed to be available at all times to sustain 1,000 pairs of Kirtland’s warblers. Managers also assumed that Kirtland’s warblers used a stand for an average of 10 years (duration of use). Average Duration of Use = 10 years Because jack pine is typically managed on a 50-year rotation, managers concluded that 190,000 acres of jack pine should be dedicated to Kirtland’s warbler management over the long term: 38,000 x 50-year rotation Total habitat dedicated to management = --------------------------------- = 190,000 acres 10-year duration of use Since 2001, additional acres have been dedicated to Kirtland’s warbler management on state and federal lands in the Lower and Upper Peninsulas of Michigan. Today, approximately 219,400 acres are dedicated to Kirtland’s warbler management, exceeding the minimum needed to manage for the 1,000 pair recovery goal. In addition, the managing agencies have agreed in a 2011 Memorandum of Understanding to continue to annually develop Kirtland’s warble breeding habitat, even if the species is removed from the federal list of endangered species.

The request included a BA that described the proposed Plan and made determinations of “may effect, likely to adversely affect” for the Pitcher's thistle, Kirtland's warbler, bald eagle, piping plover, Karner blue butterfly, and Indiana bat. The Forest made a determination of “may effect, not likely to adversely affect” for designated piping plover critical habitat. • September 16, 2005: The Service responded to the Forest’s request for formal consultation, indicating that the information received in the BA constituted a complete initiation package. • September – December 2005: Jessica Hogrefe (USFWS) worked with Forest biologists via email and telephone to discuss the proposed Plan and effects to listed species. • December 20, 2005: The Service transmitted a Draft Programmatic Biological Opinion to the Forest for review. • January 2006: The Forest transmitted several sets of comments to the Service on the Draft Programmatic Biological Opinion. Jessica Hogrefe discussed these comments with the Forest biologists and incorporated changes, where appropriate. • February 6, 2006: The Service transmitted a Draft Final Programmatic Biological Opinion to the Forest for review. BIOLOGICAL OPINION DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION Proposed Action The U.S. Forest Service proposes to revise the 1986 Forest Land and Resource Management Plan for the Huron-Manistee National Forests (HMNF, Forest, Forest Service).
