The Biological Assessment concluded that the proposed action was likely to adversely affect Hungerford’s crawling water beetle (Brychius hungerfordi, HCWB) and not likely to adversely affect Michigan monkey flower (Mimulus michiganesis, MMF). The proposed action included construction of a sea lamprey barrier following the removal of the Lake Kathleen dam. • On a call on August 17, 2017, Alpena FWCO informed MIFO that plans for the sea lamprey barrier were uncertain, and discussions among stakeholders were being planned to consider possible changes to the proposed action related to sea lamprey barrier options. • At a meeting on September 6, 2017, MIFO notified Alpena FWCO that we would wait to initiate formal consultation until we had more information on the proposed action specifically related to the sea lamprey barrier so that we could adequately assess impacts to listed species (i.e., whether the East Branch of the Maple River was likely to need to be treated with the lampricide TFM following removal of the Lake Kathleen dam). We also discussed concerns over potential effects to hydrology and impacts to MMF. • On October 27, 2017, biologists from Alpena FWCO and MIFO met with hydrologists with Michigan Department of Environmental Quality at the project site to review the proposed action and discuss possible effects to MMF. • On December 8, 2017, the Alpena FWCO sent an email initiating formal consultation. The revised BA made a “likely to adversely affect determination for MMF, and does not include a sea lamprey barrier as part of the proposed action. • On January 8, 2018, MIFO sent a memo to the Alpena FWCO acknowledging a complete initiation package. • On April 24, 2018, a draft of this Biological Opinion was sent to Alpena FWCO. • On April 30, 2019, Alpena FWCO sent comments on the draft Biological Opinion. 4 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION The proposed action considered in this Biological Opinion (Opinion) includes three projects in the Maple River Watershed, Emmet County, Michigan: 1) removing the Woodland Road culverts and replacing them with a channel spanning structure (bridge), 2) removing the Lake Kathleen dam, and 3) removing and replacing the two-track crossing culverts with a properly sized structure to accommodate natural flow conditions. The project is funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Fish Passage Program and Great Lakes Restoration

  • Approved Unsigned DNR NRC Memos January
    STATE OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES LANSING GRETCHEN WHITMER DANIEL EICHINGER GOVERNOR DIRECTOR SUBMITTED: November 12, 2019 RESUBMITTED: December 16, 2019 MEMORANDUM TO THE DIRECTOR Information: Natural Resources Commission Subject: Parks and Recreation Division (PRD) Management of State Forest Campgrounds Land Use Order of the Director Amendment No. 1 of 2020 Authority: The Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, authorizes the Director to issue orders to implement land use rules. Discussion and Background: Currently, existing state forest campgrounds are located on land administered by the Forest Resources Division (FRD), but PRD performs the day-to-day management and operation of the campgrounds. The intent of this order is to designate existing state forest campgrounds as “state parks” within the meaning of MCL 324.74101(g) to formally recognize PRD’s current land administration and management functions. In 2012, the Department of Natural Resources (Department) transferred forest recreation activities to PRD, including management responsibilities of the state forest campgrounds identified below. An increased expectation for these lands has led to a desire to formalize the transfer of administration and management. Additionally, since park improvement funds are restricted for use only to support designated state parks and recreation areas, this designation will enable funds to be used to support the areas defined in this order. To facilitate this conveyance, the lands identified below, consisting of and not exceeding a 50-foot perimeter around the most outer edge of the campsites, are to be dedicated within the meaning of MCL 324.74101(g) with administration and management to be formally undertaken by PRD.

  • Download the Inland Waterway and Straits Area Water Trails Plan
    Water Trail Plan Inland Waterway and Straits Area Cheboygan and Emmet Counties Funded by: Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce and the Michigan Coastal Management Program, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality with support from the Emmet County, Cheboygan County, Mackinaw City, and volunteers. June 2014 1 Inland Waterway and Straits Area Water Trail Plan Introduction The Inland Waterway is a 40 mile long historic water route that connects Lake Huron by way of Cheboygan, Indian River, Alanson, and Conway and with series of long portages at the headwaters to Petoskey State Park and Lake Michigan. A coastal route, part of the Huron Shores Blueways, connects the City of Cheboygan to Mackinaw City and the Straits of Mackinac. Like the interior water trails, the coastal waters have been used for transportation for thousands of years. The Inland Waterway has long been marketed as the motor boating paradise. Sitting along the banks of the Indian River on a summer afternoon and watching a steady stream of motored craft pass by, attests to the marketing success. There has never been a multi-community effort to organize and promote a paddle trail. Human-powered quiet water sports are among the fastest growing outdoor recreation activities. Combined with other active sports facilities such as the North Central State Trail, North Western State Trail and the North Country Trail, the water trail will bring visitors to the area, add to the quality of life for residents and enhance the rural-recreation sense of place. Furthermore, development of the water trail represents a regional, multi organization effort and will support economic development in the region of the state dependent upon recreational visitors.

  • The Morphological Evolution of the Adephaga (Coleoptera)
    Systematic Entomology (2019), DOI: 10.1111/syen.12403 The morphological evolution of the Adephaga (Coleoptera) ROLF GEORG BEUTEL1, IGNACIO RIBERA2 ,MARTIN FIKÁCEˇ K 3, ALEXANDROS VASILIKOPOULOS4, BERNHARD MISOF4 andMICHAEL BALKE5 1Institut für Zoologie und Evolutionsforschung, FSU Jena, Jena, Germany, 2Institut de Biología Evolutiva, CSIC-Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain, 3Department of Zoology, National Museum, Praha 9, Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Praha 2, Czech Republic, 4Center for Molecular Biodiversity Research, Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn, Germany and 5Zoologische Staatssammlung, Munich, Germany Abstract. The evolution of the coleopteran suborder Adephaga is discussed based on a robust phylogenetic background. Analyses of morphological characters yield results nearly identical to recent molecular phylogenies, with the highly specialized Gyrinidae placed as sister to the remaining families, which form two large, reciprocally monophyletic subunits, the aquatic Haliplidae + Dytiscoidea (Meruidae, Noteridae, Aspidytidae, Amphizoidae, Hygrobiidae, Dytiscidae) on one hand, and the terrestrial Geadephaga (Trachypachidae + Carabidae) on the other. The ancestral habitat of Adephaga, either terrestrial or aquatic, remains ambiguous. The former option would imply two or three independent invasions of aquatic habitats, with very different structural adaptations in larvae of Gyrinidae, Haliplidae and Dytiscoidea. Introduction dedicated to their taxonomy (examples for comprehensive studies are Sharp, 1882; Guignot, 1931–1933; Balfour-Browne Adephaga, the second largest suborder of the megadiverse & Balfour-Browne, 1940; Jeannel, 1941–1942; Brinck, 1955, > Coleoptera, presently comprises 45 000 described species. Lindroth, 1961–1969; Franciscolo, 1979) and morphology. The terrestrial Carabidae are one of the largest beetle families, An outstanding contribution is the monograph on Dytiscus comprising almost 90% of the extant adephagan diversity.

The trials and tribulations of the search for these fascinating insects are described in a recent article in British Wildlife (Sutton 2017). This article also reveals that some of the medium-sized species of interest, such as those of the genus Rhantus have been included, as have species from other groups, including the raft spider, Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck) and a rare wasp, Chalcis sispes (L.), parasitic on soldierflies (Stratiomyidae), which collectively highlight the conservation importance of some of the very special habitats in which they may be found. Figure 1 Rhantus frontalis (Marsham), brackish pool, Canvey Island, South Essex February 2020 LATISSIMUS 45 2 The prospective book, therefore, covers a good number of medium-sized water beetles (7- 13 mm), from the Piles Beetle Liopterus haemorrhoidalis (Fab.) (6.3-7.9 mm) to the comparatively large Ilybius ater (12.5 -14.5 mm), known by some in Britain as the Mud Dweller.

  • The Watersheds of Northeast Michigan
    The Watersheds of Northeast Michigan What is a Watershed? Did you know that everywhere you are, you’re within a watershed? A watershed is an area of land that contains a common set of streams, rivers and lakes that all drain into a larger waterbody. Watershed boundaries follow natural features of the landscape, such as a ridgeline or a height-of-land (see diagram at right). Watersheds include both the water features within the area, as well as the land surrounding those water bodies. As a result of the connected nature of a watershed, all activities on the land and water can affect the condition of the larger watershed. A watershed can be divided into progressively smaller watersheds, which are often referred to as subswatersheds. For example, the Klacking Creek Watershed is one of many subwatersheds that can be identified within the larger Rifle River Watershed. Likewise, the Rifle River Watershed itself is part of the larger Lake Huron Watershed. Watershed diagram: www.upperdesplainsriver.org Huron Pines is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and an equal opportunity provider. Our dynamic staff of ecologists, geographers, biologists and environmental educators think big and act quickly to ensure that Northeast Michigan’s watersheds and wild places will stay healthy and resilient for future generations. Located right in the center of the Great Lakes system, we have the unique privilege and responsibility to protect our treasured lands teeming with wildlife, and to sustain the world’s most important source of fresh water.
