  • Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) Grants for 5 Active Or Completed Projects
    The COUNTY ALCONA MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND was established under the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund Act of 1976 to provide a permanent funding source for the public acquisition of land for resource protection and public outdoor recreation. Funding is provided by revenue derived from royalties on the sale and lease of state-owned oil, gas and mineral rights. This landmark piece of legislation came to fruition thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Michigan Oil and Gas Association, Michigan United Conservation Clubs and state legislators on behalf of all Michigan citizens. The MNRTF has contributed immeasurably to protecting our state’s natural beauty and helped paved the way for wise and prudent development of our state’s abundant energy resources. To date, the MNRTF has awarded over $1.1 billion in grants to Michigan’s state and local parks, waterways, trails and nature preserves throughout all 83 counties. Of this total, $245 million has been invested in trails. In excess of 1,000 public parks have been acquired and / or developed. Other projects funded include ball fields, tennis courts, trailheads, restrooms and other amenities, for a total of just under 2,500 MNRTF-assisted projects since 1976. ALCONA COUNTY Alcona County has received $644,100 in Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) grants for 5 active or completed projects. Alcona County Active or Completed MNRTF projects ALCONA TOWNSHIP • Park Improvements: $108,700 CALEDONIA TOWNSHIP • Hubbard Lake North End Park Development: $245,400 DNR – PARKS & RECREATION DIVISION • South Bay-Hubbard Lake: $145,000 DNR – WILDLIFE DIVISION • Hubbard Lake Wetlands: $130,000 VILLAGE OF LINCOLN • Brownlee Lake Boat Launch: $15,000 ALGER COUNTY ALGER The MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND was established under the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund Act of 1976 to provide a permanent funding source for the public acquisition of land for resource protection and public outdoor recreation.

  • Monroe County Solid Waste Management Plan
    STATE OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY LANSING DEii\ RICK SNYDER C. HEIDI GRETHER GOVERNOR DIRECTOR June 1, 2017 Mr. J. Henry Lievens, Chairperson Monroe County Board of Commissioners 125 East Second Street Monroe, Michigan 48161-2197 Dear Mr. Lievens: The locally approved amendment to the Monroe County Solid Waste Management Plan (Plan Amendment) received by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on February 18, 2016, is hereby approved with modifications. The Plan Amendment required modifications that were sent to the Monroe County Designated Planning Agency contact, Mr. Daniel Rock1 on December 1, 2016, and a follow-up modification letter on February 17, 2017. The approval of the modifications, dated April 21, 2017, was received from the Monroe County Board of Commissioners (BOC). Upon approval by the DEQ, the Plan Amendment revises the entire Plan and should be viewed as a stand-alone document. The following modifications were made to the Plan Amendment: Throughout the Plan Amendment, the phrase "Mixed Waste Processing" has been used; however, this term is not defined. Based on our conversations, Monroe County is actually referring to a Solid Waste Processing Facility. Therefore, the term "Mixed Waste Processing Facility" throughout the Plan Amendment shall be replaced with the ,, term "Solid Waste Processing Facility. Page 10, FACILITY DESCRIPTION, Arbor Hills Landfill, the Operating Status check box for "Construction Permit" shall be marked as this facility has a construction permit. This same item shall be changed on page 47 of the Plan Amendment. Page 16, FACILITY DESCRIPTION, Adrian Landfill, Inc., the Operating Status check box for "Open, but closure pending" shall be marked instead of "Open" as this is the current status of this facility.
