Grand Traverse Bay Watershed Survey of Experiences with Climate Change and Global Warming: a Summary
(Terry W. Phipps. Courtesy of Michigan Travel Bureau) Grand Traverse Bay Watershed Survey of Experiences with Climate Change and Global Warming: A Summary (Courtesy of Michigan Travel Bureau) Experiences with Climate Change in the Grand Traverse Bay Watershed Patricia E. Norris, Brockton C. Feltman and Jessica L. Batanian Department of Community Sustainability, Michigan State University April 2015 Introduction In late July 2014, we initiated a survey of residents in the Grand Traverse Bay Watershed as part of a larger project exploring implications of climate change in the region and opportunities for adaptation at community and watershed levels. Early scientific and policy discussions about climate change focused largely on gradual warming planet-wide, its causes, and its impacts. In recent years, however, discussions have become more nuanced and reveal a greater understanding of the many ways in which climate change will affect weather patterns generally, as well as many biotic and abiotic resources specifically. Various types of data collected in the Grand Traverse Bay (GTB) region show evidence of changes in the environment driven by shifts in climate conditions and the resulting weather patterns. Our survey asked residents what, if any, changes they have observed in a series of factors influenced by climate such as frequency and duration of rain events, ice cover on lakes, and length of growing season. We also asked a series of questions about perceptions of global warming, more generally. This report provides a summary of those survey results. Analysis of the survey data is underway to explore a number of different questions. These analyses will be described briefly at the end of this report. -
2011 Annual Beach Monitoring Report
MI/DEQ/WRD-12/034 MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY WATER RESOURCES DIVISION AUGUST 2012 STAFF REPORT MICHIGAN BEACH MONITORING YEAR 2011 ANNUAL REPORT INTRODUCTION The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), Surface Water Quality Monitoring Program, is summarized in the January 1997 report entitled, “A Strategic Environmental Quality Monitoring Program for Michigan’s Surface Waters” (Strategy) (MDEQ, 1997). The objectives of the beach monitoring component of the Strategy are listed below: 1. Assist local health departments to implement and strengthen beach monitoring programs. 2. Create and maintain a statewide database. 3. Determine whether waters of the state are safe for total body contact recreation. 4. Compile data to determine overall water quality. 5. Evaluate the effectiveness of MDEQ programs in attaining Water Quality Standards (WQS) for pathogen indicators. 1. ASSIST LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS TO IMPLEMENT AND STRENGTHEN BEACH MONITORING PROGRAMS Beach Monitoring The monitoring of beaches in Michigan is voluntary and is conducted by the local health departments. Health departments are required to comply with Michigan’s WQS according to R 333.12544 of the Public Health Code, 1978 PA 368 (Act 368), as amended. According to R 333.12541 of Act 368, a local health officer or an authorized representative of a local health department that conducts tests at bathing beaches is required to notify the MDEQ and other entities of the test results within 36 hours of conducting a test or evaluation. This rule also states that the local health department may petition the circuit court for an injunction ordering the owners of a beach to close the beach. -

Antrim County
Economic Profile – Antrim County Updated 2016 County Highlights Antrim County is located in the northwestern part of the lower peninsula, east of Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay and bordered on the west by the Mackinaw State Forest, also referred to as the Jordan River Valley. The county has a total area of 602 square miles of which 477 square miles is land and 125 square miles is water. The county contains 45 lakes, has 24 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, and rivers covering 65 miles of waterways throughout the area. The county has nearly 44,000 acres of state forest land, the Grass River Natural Area and Wilcox-Palmer-Shah Nature Preserve. Most notable of the lakes is Torch Lake, considered to be one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Torch Lake is on a chain of lakes that runs from Bellaire to Elk Rapids. North of Bellaire is another chain of lakes that goes from there through Central Lake and Ellsworth, with the largest of these being Intermediate Lake. Paddle Antrim was created in 2015 with a primary purpose of supporting efforts to maintain water quality in the rivers, lakes, and streams in Antrim County. Mancelona, located in the southwest corner of the county, on US-131, is home to the annual White Pine Stampede, Bass Festival and Deadman’s Hill Scenic Overlook. The county also has over a dozen fine golf courses, and is a major ski resort area, home to Shanty Creek Resort. The county is the 8th smallest in the state and holds its county seat in Bellaire. -
Naming Rationale
Naming Rationale Label-wise, the goal of the map is to illuminate the various landforms of Michigan, of which many residents are quite unaware. It should inform them of existing toponyms, as well as provide new toponyms for noteworthy features which don’t seem to have any. Landform toponyms can be approached from a folk or a technical perspective. A local might refer to the Yellow Hills that lay beside the Green Plain, whereas a physical geographer would recognize the glacial origins of these features and have good reason to call them the Yellow Moraine, next to the Green Glacial Lake Plain. My chosen perspective is folk toponymy. However, for many features in Michigan such names are lacking or poorly-attested, whereas technical names are much more common (experts think about landforms much more than other residents). Therefore I have sometimes borrowed from the list of technical names, modifying them at times to be more folk-like. For some features, the sources I have disagree as to their name or extent. I have done my best to mediate disputes. Other features have names that appear only on a single source, invented by mapmakers who saw landforms languishing in anonymity. I have propagated these names where they seemed sensible to me, and coined some of my own. All toponyms have to start somewhere. The result is a mixture of folk and technical, existing and newly-coined. Another cartographer would, given the same starting materials, produce a different result. I hope though, that my decisions seem justifiable and sound. List of Names and Sources In the pages that follow, I have compiled my notes and sources for every label on the map. -

I could not have done it without her help and support, and I look forward to the next chapter in our lives together. We made it! My parents, both Annette and Mark Erbes and Jim and Kathy Keating, gave me important support during my time at Mizzou, including even finding some historical markers for me in the deepest, darkest corners of rural northern Michigan. I am very thankful for their help and emotional encouragement throughout my graduate career. I also want to thank my fellow graduate students in the Geography department. The advice, venting, laughter, and intellectual conversations (serious or otherwise) that took place in Room 2 were greatly needed at many times throughout the past two years, and my colleagues were always there to provide it. -
