The purpose of this plan is to evaluate flooding issues in the NBEC and provide effective flood damage reduction measures to reduce flood hazards and flood damage costs for the project area. A number of possible measures and alternative plans for reducing flood risk along the NBEC were considered. The recommended alternative includes construction of a single optimized detention basin, and greenway channel improvements of varying widths in the lower nine miles of the creek downstream from US-24 (Telegraph Road) to the Detroit River. Positive effects of the proposed action include improvements to public health and safety, traffic and transportation, and socioeconomics, through reduced flooding; increased infiltration of detained floodwater into the ground and reduced peak flows within the NBEC; improvements in water quality through reduced flooding and a widened and naturalized riparian corridor; increased hydrologic stability and improved wildlife habitat; and an increase in aesthetic values of the NBEC. Expected adverse effects of the proposed action include minor temporary construction impacts on air quality, existing riparian vegetation and habitat, infrastructure, noise, soils, traffic and transportation, and utilities. Permanent impacts include removal of homes and businesses within the greenway channel widening footprint and loss of existing riverine vegetation, which is generally of low quality and would be replaced with higher quality vegetation. A number of areas within the proposed channel widening would be evaluated during the design phase to determine if contaminants are present in concentrations requiring special handling and/or remediation and to identify appropriate disposal options for such material. The proposed action would result in temporary and permanent changes to land use, open space, and parks and recreational facilities in the immediate path of construction and as a result of land acquisition for detention basins and channel improvements. Based on this Environmental Assessment, implementation of the proposed project would not result in significant short term, long term or cumulative adverse environmental impacts and does not result in significant effects on the quality of the human environment; therefore, it appears that an Environmental Impact Statement is not required. After completion of agency/public review of this Environmental Assessment and evaluation of the comments received, a final decision will be made regarding the need for an Environmental Impact Statement.

  • LISA FISCHER BIO Lisa Fischer Is a Singer Who Really Gets Around. Her Life
    LISA FISCHER BIO Lisa Fischer is a singer who really gets around. Her life is an endless round of planes, trains, and automoBiles, rehearsals and fittings. On tour with the Rolling Stones, Sting, Chris Botti or Nine Inch Nails, her name may not Be on the marquee, But she doesn't care. She's Busy loving every minute of it. It's easy to see why she works all the time: her astonishing range, her spot-on intonation, her mastery of the stage, the way her tone wraps itself around your heart and won't let go, the infectious quality of her time feel: these things keep her on top of the list. But it's the sweetness of her smile, her visiBle pleasure in watching her Bandmates do their stuff, her glamorous- girl-next-door quality that make fans all over the world think she's their own secret discovery (despite the fact that the YouTube version of her duet with Mick Jagger on 'Gimme Shelter' has millions of hits). The rest of her resume is pretty impressive too: touring, recording, and music making with Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, Beyonce, Dionne Warwick, Dolly Parton, Bobby McFerrin, Alicia Keyes, Lou Reed, Louie Vega, Aretha Franklin, John Scofield, George Benson, Laurie Anderson, Lee Ritenour, Jackie Evancho (and many others). Along with many other top session and backup singers like Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Patti Austin, and Judith Hill, "the greatest artists you've never heard of" (but whose voices are instantly recognizable), she's featured in Morgan Neville's acclaimed documentary film Twenty Feet from Stardom, distributed By Miramax in the US and scheduled for European premieres throughout 2013-2014 season.

  • War Council to Meet on the ‘FIFTEENTH of the MOON’; the Phases of the Moon Were Used As the Indians’ Way of Establishing Time
    THE PONTIAC COUNCIL & PONTIAC’S WAR* Historical background: 1763 *Variously referred to as Pontiac’s War, Pontiac’s Uprising, Pontiac’s Rebellion, or the Conspiracy of Pontiac. WHO: PONTIAC, or Obwandiyag (born ca. 1720 – April 20, 1769), was a Native American Ottawa war leader, remembered for his participation in the struggle against British occupation of the Great Lakes region that bears his name: Pontiac's War. Pontiac rose to great fame and importance during this war, and yet the documentary evidence of Pontiac's life is scanty. Much of what has been written about the chief has been based on tradition and speculation, and so depictions of him have varied greatly over the years. Beyond Pontiac himself, we turn to a literal cast of thousands on the 1763 stage: the CHIEFTAINS and WARRIORS of the Indian Nations of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley regions; the British SOLDIERS and OFFICERS who commanded and garrisoned the forts in the region; the British SETTLERS with the aim of moving westward from the crowded English/American colonies; the French HABITANTS who had lived in the region for generations; and the French & British TRADERS, all hoping to make their fortunes here. [For a list of important names see the last pages.] [portrait of Pontiac by John Mix Stanley, Detroit Historical Museum] Flag of New France 1760 Flag of Britain 1760 WHAT: It is said that Pontiac’s April 1763 COUNCIL on the ECORSE RIVER* was the largest Indian council attended by multiple Nations yet to meet in the western territory. Chiefs and warriors of the Great Lakes Nations were summoned together, and in a few weeks’ time over a dozen tribes would join the campaign.

  • Total Maximum Daily Load for E. Coli for the Ecorse River Watershed
    Enclosure 1 Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Water Bureau Total Maximum Daily Load for E. coli for the Ecorse River Watershed Wayne County, Michigan August 5, 2008 1.0 INTRODUCTION Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act and the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (U.S. EPA’s) Water Quality Planning and Management Regulations (Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 130) require states to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for water bodies that are not meeting water quality standards (WQS). The TMDL process establishes the allowable loadings of pollutants for a water body based on the relationship between pollution sources and in-stream water quality conditions. TMDLs provide states a basis for determining the pollutant reductions necessary from both point and non-point sources to restore and maintain the quality of their water resources. The purpose of this TMDL is to identify the allowable levels of E. coli that will result in the attainment of the applicable WQS in the Ecorse River, located in Wayne County, Michigan. 2.0 PROBLEM STATEMENT The TMDL reach for the Ecorse River appears on the 2008 Section 303(d) list (LeSage and Smith, 2008) as: ECORSE RIVER AUID#: 040900040501-01 County: WAYNE Size: 41.89 miles Location: Ecorse River watershed Use impairments: partial and total body contact recreation Cause: E. coli The Ecorse River, including the North and South Branches of Ecorse Creek, was placed on the Section 303(d) list during the 1998 listing cycle due to impairment of recreational uses as indicated by the presence of elevated levels of E.
