    Rep. McCann offered the following concurrent resolution: House Concurrent Resolution No. 41. A concurrent resolution to urge the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) to pursue bicycle friendly policies by providing for bicycles on board trains and bicycle parking in future station plans. Whereas, An efficient, modern, transportation system is a pillar of a healthy economic climate and vital for Michigan's future. All modes of 21st century transportation infrastructure should be made accessible to modern travelers, whether tourists or commuters. Seamless multi-modal connections are essential to facilitate tourism and to allow greater mobility for bike commuters and those without cars. Bicyclists should be able to switch between transportation modes and link trips by bringing bicycles on trains without having to check them as boxed luggage. Bicycle tourism and commuting would be further accommodated with short and long-term bike parking at Amtrak stations. Unfortunately, Amtrak does not allow bicycles on board Michigan routes at this time and bike parking is not always available; and Whereas, Amtrak's routes out of Chicago, the Downstate Illinois Service and Missouri River Runner, offer roll-on bike service; the option to bring bicycles on board, either by storing bikes on board in bike racks, or secured as checked baggage with tie-down equipment (not in a box), and allow folding bicycles on board as carry-on baggage. All three of the Michigan Amtrak routes, The Blue Water, Lake Shore Limited and Pere Marquette lines, use the same equipment as Chicago area trains and would only have to update the reservations system to allow bikes on board in Michigan; and Whereas, Bicycle tourism is a booming industry and many Michigan bike tour events are located in or near cities accessible by Amtrak service.

  • THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION of ATMOSPHERIC PRECIPITATION from SELECTED STATIONS in MICHIGAN CURTIS J. RICHARDSON, Resource Ecology
    THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF ATMOSPHERIC PRECIPITATION FROM SELECTED STATIONS IN MICHIGAN CURTIS J. RICHARDSON, Resource Ecology, School of Natural Resources, University of Michigan; and GEORGE E. MERVA, Department of Agricultural Engineering, Michigan State University. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Financial support for this study was provided by the Michigan State University Department of Agricultural Engineering and an NSF-RANN (project GI-34898) to The University of Michigan. We wish to thank M. Quade, Y. Wang, and J. Kruse for precipi- tation chemistry. D. Kiel and W. B. Rockwell were invaluable in the areas of computer management and statistical analyses. Cooperation of the Michigan Department of Health, The Michigan State Climatologists, The University of Michigan's Biological Station and School of Public Health, and the many wastewater treatment plant operators without whose help this report would not be possible, is gratefully acknowledged. ABSTRACT The pH and amount of rainfall from over 60 selected stations throughout northern and lower Michigan was determined from September 1972 to December 1974. Precipitation pH was determined for each station by calibrated electrode meters. The seasonal weighted average and median pH from all stations in the study was 5.0 and 6.3, respectively. Daily readings from stations throughout Michigan indicate that pH is dependent on the amount of rainfall and that variations in it are often locally controlled. Collectively the pH values suggest car- bonic acid control for most of the state. Annual median pH varied from a high of 8.45 at Dimondale, a station located 1.5 km from a concrete tile plant in central Michigan to 4.65 at Vassar, a small town located east of several industrial centers in the thumb region of the state.

Community Profile The City of Port Huron, Michigan is located geographically at the base of Lake Huron at the mouth of the St. Clair River. Fort St. Joseph was built at the location by the French in 1686. Fort St. Joseph guarded the upper end of the St. Clair River, the vital waterway joining Lake Erie and Lake Huron. Intended by the French to bar English traders from the upper lakes. In 1688, the French abandoned the fort. The site was incorporated into Fort Gratiot in 1814 following the War of 1812 by the United States, and the area later became Port Huron. The City of Port Huron was incorporated in 1857, and its population grew rapidly after the 1850s due to a high rate of immigration attracted by the successful shipbuilding and lumber trade.

Midland has evolved from an Indian village to the "City of Science and Culture." Midland's Wayfinding Signage The City of Midland was incorporated in 1887; three years later, a young electrochemical pioneer named Herbert Henry Dow arrived in Midland, attracted by the area’s plentiful brine wells, and subsequently founded The Dow Chemical Company. The growth and success of Dow has enabled Midland to become a cultural melting pot, attracting the minds of science, technology and innovation from around the globe.

  • 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.
