INTRODUCTION The St. Marys River forms the outlet of Lake Superior, connecting Whitefish Bay with Lake Huron through De Tour Passage. Lake Superior and the St. Marys River are both highly regulated. The Soo Locks bypass the St. Marys River Rapids and make navigation possible between Lakes Superior and Huron. 2. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS From its nominal head at Point Iroquois, the river flows in a general southeasterly direction through several channels covering a distance of from 101 km to 121 km (63 mi to 75 mi), depending on the route taken, with a total fall of about 6.7 m (22 ft). Approximately 6.1 m (20 ft) of this fall occur in the St. Marys Rapids, which are less than 1.5 km (1 mi) long and form a very short middle reach with distinct hydraulic characteristics. Altogether, there are three different hydraulic reaches in the St.

  • US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Dredging Proposal
    DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY DETROIT DISTRICT, CORPS OF ENGINEERS BOX 1027 DETROIT, MICHIGAN 48231-1027 April 3, 2014 IN REPLY REFER TO: Planning Office Environmental Analysis Branch PUBLIC NOTICE 1. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Detroit District, proposes to place dredged material from the St. Marys River Federal navigation channel at Moon Island. Moon Island is located alongside the Federal navigation channel in Chippewa County, Michigan, about 22 miles south of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, near the southern end of Neebish Island. Only shoal material tested and found to be suitable for unrestricted placement would be placed at the island. The dredged material would be placed within a stone perimeter that will provide added erosion protection for the island. 2. Potential alternatives for handling dredged material from the Federal channel in the St. Marys River include: 1) No Action, 2) Upland Placement, and 3) Moon Island Placement. The proposed action is Alternative 3, Moon Island Placement. A stone perimeter would be constructed around the island and immediately adjacent shallow water area. To maximize fill capacity while avoiding scrub shrub wetlands on the island, approximately 6.1 acres of emergent vegetation (mainly common reed) would be filled, but 6.1 acres of the newly filled area that is currently open water will be left at a lower elevation to develop into replacement wetlands. 3. This Public Notice and the attached Environmental Assessment (EA)-Dredged Material Placement, Moon Island, Chippewa County, Michigan-are being issued for the purpose of providing information to various Government agencies and the general public and to solicit their comments and views relative to the proposed activity.

Alternatively, the Center requests that the USFWS define and list distinct population segments of lake sturgeon in the U.S. as threatened or endangered. Lake sturgeon populations in Minnesota, Lake Superior, Missouri River, Ohio River, Arkansas-White River and lower Mississippi River may warrant endangered status. Lake sturgeon populations in Lake Michigan and the upper Mississippi River basin may warrant threatened status. Lake sturgeon in the central and eastern Great Lakes (Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River basin) seem to be part of a larger population that is more widespread.

  • St. Mary's River Is a 70 Mile Connecting Channel Between Lakes Superior and Huron in Michigan’S Eastern Upper Peninsula
    St. Mary’s River Rapid Watershed Assessment Prepared by Chippewa/East Mackinac Conservation District 2847 Ashmun Street Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan 49783 St. Mary’s River Rapid Watershed Assessment January 2008 A Joint Project Between Chippewa/ East Mackinac Background The St. Mary’s River watershed began as the bottomlands of glacial lakes Algonquin and Nippising. Dry now for some 10,000 years, the watershed community still is feeling the effects of those glacial formations. The thick, impermeable clay lake bottom still presents obstacles for land use, especially agriculture and urban development. Fortunately, the community is beginning to see those natural obstacles as valuable natural assets. They are coming to realize that the future sustainability of the St. Mary’s River watershed will be assured with active restoration and protection of its natural resources. The St. Mary’s River Watershed The St. Mary’s River watershed consists of approximately 410,351 acres within Michigan’s Eastern Upper Peninsula, within a regional ecosystem referred to as the Rudyard Clay Lake Plain. It is one of the oldest settled regions in the United States, dating back to the mid-1600’s. Over half of the Chippewa County population lives within the watershed boundaries. The watershed includes at least parts of the city of Sault Ste. Marie and the small towns and villages of Detour, Pickford, Kinross, Raber, and Dafter. Political jurisdictions are broken into several townships within Chippewa County, including Soo, Dafter, Bruce, Pickford, Raber, Detour, Rudyard, and small parts of both Clark and Marquette townships in Mackinac County. The watershed of the St.

  • Our War Paint Is Writer's Ink: Ojibwe Literary Transnationalism Adam Spry Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements
    Our War Paint is Writer’s Ink: Ojibwe Literary Transnationalism Adam Spry Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERISTY 2014 © 2014 Adam Spry All rights reserved ABSTRACT Our War Paint is Writer’s Ink: Ojibwe Literary Transnationalism Adam Spry Works of literature written by Native Americans have long been treated by readers and critics as expressions of cultural identity: transparent representations of communal world- views, traditional belief-systems, or sets of cultural practices. Often, such ethnographic readings come at the expense of understanding how these texts express the political concerns of their authors. My dissertation pushes back against such readings, showing how Ojibwe writers attempt to use literature as a means of shaping public opinion in the pursuit of pragmatic political goals. Reconsidering Ojibwe writing in this way, I examine how Ojibwe authors use their work to engage in dialog with non-Native readers and writers in the U.S.—an interaction they insist be understood as transnational. By comparing literary representations of the Ojibwe produced by both U.S. writers and the Ojibwe themselves, I show how poems, novels, and dramatic works have been the site at which the possibility of Ojibwe nationhood has been imagined and contested for nearly two centuries. In so doing, I suggest that Ojibwe literature is not a stable and homogenous category, but an expedient response to U.S. settler-colonialism defined by a shared set of political commitments. In so doing, I complicate prior theorizations of indigenous literary nationalism as a project primarily oriented toward cultural separatism, replacing them with a more nuanced model of continual, if agonistic, engagement on the imperfectly leveling field of literary representation.
