This is my last note to you as I finish up my final board term. After six years of service, the last two as your president, I am happy to report that the organization is strong and healthy. Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council has a great staff and a truly amazing executive director in Gail Gruenwald.

It actually takes years on the board to understand all of the things this great organization does. There are all of the basics, including policy, advocacy, grant writing, stream and lake monitoring, rain garden construction, and stream bank stabilization. To that we have added the Watershed Academy and many other tasks!

We remain actively involved with big issues like the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline and fracking. I am proud of the organization for the strong science-based approach used. We never advocate based on what any one of the staff wants, but rather based on where the science takes us. By remaining science-based we have built a strong relationship with the Department of Natural Resources and Department of Environmental Quality, the legislature, and others. We always have a seat at the table because of our reasoned approach.

We should all be delighted with our organization and its achievements. As always, thank you for your support.

Howard W. Newkirk Board President

Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council addressed a number of issues in 2014. Some of the threats facing our watersheds were invasive species, stormwater runoff, and the accumulation of pharmacueticals and plastic microbeads in our waters.

Over the past year, the Watershed Line 5 Pipeline Council has been highly engaged in Line 5, owned and operated by Enbridge Energy Partners, oil and gas issues. We continued to is located in the Straits of Mackinac and traverses through champion for stronger regulations Northern Michigan, crossing under and near many sensitive water resources. The Watershed Council has devoted regarding the safety of our water, significant time to research, public education and outreach, including a technique used during pipeline incident prevention, emergency preparedness, and advocacy. natural gas and oil development known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, In 2014, the Watershed Council conducted pipeline sensitivity and significant research on the Line 5 mapping to identify areas along the pipeline route that are most at risk in the event of a spill. We also hosted a Northern pipeline that crosses the Straits of Michigan Pipeline Symposium designed to raise awareness Mackinac and traverses through our and understanding about pipeline issues and pipeline safety in Northern Michigan. The symposium involved presentations service area. on pipeline safety and Enbridge’s Line 5, as well as a panel question and answer session.

We also took part in a wildlife rescue training.

The Watershed Council also served on the Local Emergency Planning Committee for Emmet County to help ensure our water resources are adequately considered and protected in the event of an emergency.

www.watershedcouncil.org Monitoring our Waters

Monitoring our waters is a perpetual year-long process. Whether we are in the field, in the lab, compiling data, or writing reports, there is always something to do.

Our monitoing efforts rely heavily on the assistance of trained volunteers from the community that share our Coastal Tributary Monitoring passion for protecting our water Northern Michigan is blessed with legendary streams. Rivers resources. Keeping a watchful eye on like the Jordan and Boyne have left their marks in history and the health of our waters each year is continue to shape our communities. Many of our beloved streams have membership-based groups whose sole purpose an enormous job and we couldn’t do is to carry out programs that protect them. On the other it without their help. hand, there are lesser known streams that rarely receive attention, being forever in the shadow of their larger, more popular, counterparts. Thanks to support from the Joyce Foundation, they were front and center during our 2014 field season as part of a Coastal Tributary Study.

The purpose of the tributary study was to better understand the impacts of small coastal tributaries on the water quality of Lake Michigan. These small coastal streams generally escape notice and are not typically included in large-scale watershed management plans or monitoring programs. Individually, these small streams are thought to contribute few pollutants and have minimal impacts on the greater Lake Michigan ecosystem. However, we suspected that, colletively, those small coastal tributaries are an important part of the Great Lakes water quality equation.

When all was said and done, we found that our Our Monitoring Report includes the ﬁndings from our Volunteer results ranged from com- Lake and Stream Monitoring programs, as well as our Comprehensive forting to concerning. Water Quality Monitoring program. Although these streams are small in size, when taken Our Comprehensive Water Quality Monitoring (CWQM) database in aggregate, the impact now includes over 8,000 water quality measurements!These of our coastal tributaries data are used regularly by the Watershed Council to assess lake and is BIG when it comes to stream health, develop watershed management plans, evaluate the the health of our lakes. success of restoration projects, and much more. It is not only a resource for us, but the data are also utilized for numerous organizations, agencies, local governments, and researchers in their efforts to protect the lakes and streams we cherish in Northern Michigan.

No curly-leaf pondweed was documented and Eurasian watermilfoil was found in small quantities in Six Mile and St. Clair Lakes only.

Canine Services (ECS), a company that utilizes dogs trained specifically to identify human sewage through scent in storm sewer systems. This cost-efficient method provides a rapid screening tool for illicit sewage discharge detection. ECS was joined by Watershed Council staff and Department of Public Works representatives on a tour of Petoskey and Charlevoix, checking dozens of locations to determine if there were any human fecal contamination problems in the municipal stormwater systems. Watershed Council staff later met with both cities to discuss the findings and plan next steps for protecting our waters.

Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council had another great year in 2014, both in terms of finance and programming. Despite the fact that we received fewer donations, grants, and investment income this year, our net assets increased slightly. Operating expenses came in right on budget. The market was down substantially this year, but we still made a respectable return on our investments. The Asset Repair and Replacement Fund (ARRF) has grown to $163,918 from our original investment of $85,000 in 2011. Cash flow provided sufficient funds for operating all year and it was not necessary to tap into our credit line. Some ongoing grant project activities were delayed until 2015 and that moved expected grant income and expense into 2015 as well.
