Nonpoint Source Management Plan Deputy Director Rector stated that the Surface Water Quality Division has taken the lead in preparing the Nonpoint Source Management Plan which was presented for information. The Department will be submitting the plan to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Certification of necessary legal authority by the Department of Attorney General is expected later this month. Paul Zugger, Chief, Surface Water Quality Division, indicated that the Nonpoint Source Management Plan is the result of two year's work, which included tight dead1 i nes estab 1 i shed by the Federal Clean Water Act of 1987. Zugger introduced Sect ion Ch i ef Steve Eldredge and Steve Buda, who directs the Nonpoint Source Unit of the the Surface Water Quality Division.

Watershed Management Initiative John Robertson, Chief, Fisheries Division, discussed cooperative efforts among the Fisheries, Land and Water Management and Surface Water Quality Divisions, and the Office of Water Resources. Some initiatives which affect watershed management are: (1) Nonpoint Source Program; (2) the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES); (3) the Clean Water Incentives Program in urban areas; and (4) the Natural Rivers Program. In the future the licensing and relicensing of hydroelectric facilities in the State will impact watershed management. Robertson stated that the Department is committed to pool ing resources to implement an integrated watershed management initiative. Within the next month, staff will be identifying pilot watersheds where joint divisional management will become practice. Specific criteria to be used in identifying these areas are: substantial remedial action on that watershed is planned; opportunities exist to take advantage of unique interests in preservation and restoration; and opportunities exist to have major impact through an ongoing decision-making process, such as licensing of hydropower facilities. Robertson introduced Charlie Weaver, Ben Butts and Bill Turney who are very interested in the Manistee River watershed. This group and many others have been worki ng with the Department in tryi ng to make watershed management a reality on the Manistee River. These citizens are physically doing a lot of the work and are in the process of qualifying fora grant to start the initiative on the Manistee River. This same type of support has been provided by citizens in the Clinton River area. Within two months, specific management strategies will be developed. Within three months, a strategy for the management of watershed goals based on watershed potential will be developed. Commissioner Fluharty expressed concern about the effects of air quality on watershed management. She commended staff on taking the lead on integrated watershed management. Commissioner Guyer stressed that strong consideration should be given to other types of assistance, such as that which could be provided by educational institutions. Quality of life Bond Implementation Thomas D. Martin, Director, Office of the Great Lakes, provided an update on the activities to implement the Quality of Life Bond Proposals.

~~~~~~~~~~ ____.19 ____ MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION (EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT) November 17, 1988 Memorandum to the Natural Resources Commission SUBJECT: Proposed Capital Outlay Project for State Parks Financed by the Recreation Bond Authority Act 329 of the Public Acts of 1988 in Section 8(1) (a) requires the Natural Resources Commission to approve the State Parks Capital Outlay program. Discussion and Background The Recreation Bond provides an opportunity to address the severe infrastructure problems that are plaguing our state parks system, posing health and safety hazards, and reducing the quality of experience for our 25 million state park visitors. Sixty million dollars are planned for Bond related park projects. First year projects total $20 million and includes preliminary engineering design, cost estimates and construc­ tion. The following is the priority ranking system the Department is proposing to target the expe~diture of bond funds. HIGHEST PRIORITY: ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY CONCERNS Environmental Concerns: Sixty-eight state parks have sewage systems in need of renovation; a vast majority of these systems have been identified as not meeting current water quality standards, are in non-compliance with State laws and rules, and have the potential of causing water pollution. Safety Concerns: Roads and Parking Bond dollars are needed for resurfacing, repairs, reconstruction or initial surfacing of roads and parking lots in the state park system. Poor roads and parking lots pose a safety problem, reduce the quality of a visitor's experience, provide wear and tear on equipment, and present a poor image at the park's front door. Electrical Systems Electrical systems at state parks are wearing out. Several of the systems are overhead systems and many do not meet today's codes. Furthermore, many of the systems are unreliable and continual power failures are experienced on peak use days.

/ 2

SECOND PRIORITY: ASSURING HIGH QUALITY FACILITIES Many of the facilities in the state park system were constructed in the 1930's by various public works programs, and have been patched and repaired well past the point of cost effectiveness. These facilities are desperately in need of major repair and replacement. Under this priority, the Department will address such problems as leaking roofs, rotting buildings, outdated restrooms and concession buildings, beaches in need of rehabilitation, inadequate water systems, erosion damage, cabins in need of repair, poor quality trails, picnic shelters and improvement of day use areas. Recommendation: It is recommended under the authority of Act 329 of the Public Acts of 1988 that the Natural Resources Commission approve the attached list and the priority ranking system outlined in this Commission Memo. d~l2x.t/e;J.e.J~k. 0ACK BUTTERFIELD Parks Division I have analyzed and discussed this recommendation with t Directors/Chief A~ministrative Officer, and staff,

November 16, 1988

Memorandum to. the Natural Resources Commission: SUBJECT: Recommendations from the October 11-12, 1988, Meeting of the Michigan State Waterways Commission

The Michigan State Waterways Commission, at its meeting held October 11-12, 1988, considered two items of a discretionary nature. The following recommen­ dations are respectfully submitted to the Natural Resources Commission for approval: 1989 Straits of Mackinac Ferry Pier Lease Mjnimums Each year the Waterways Commission establishes lease minimums for the subject facilities to permit advertising for bids. Bids are subsequently presented at the December meeting for approval to award leases. Based on the historical method of determining lease minimums, the staff recommended a 4.0% increase to lease area minimums based on the annual change in the Consumers Price Index (CPI) .. The minimum established for St. Ignace Lease Area "A" represents the second year's payment on a three-year lease and this lease area will not be let for bid. The Waterways· Commission approved the staff recommendation as fol­ lows, with an instruction to staff that next year's recommendations for 1990 is to include an investigation of alternative methods for establishing lease minimums versus the traditional CPI change to ensure adequate compensation is being realized for the value of the leased property: RESOLVED, that the Michigan State Waterways Commission does hereby establish the following minimum rental rates for lease areas at the Straits of Mackinac for the 1989 season, including a right of first refusal, as follows:

lease Area "Au, Mackinaw City Ferry Pier $ 7,275 u Lease Area IIB , Mackinaw City Ferry Pier 20,650 Lease Area "ell, Mackinaw City Ferry Pier 1,575 Lease Area "A", St. Ignace Ferry Pier No. 1 35,225 Lease Area ItB", St. Ignace Ferry Pier No. 1 35,225 Lease Area "C", St. Ignace Ferry Pier No. 1 1,200 1989 Transient Mooring and Sewage pump-out Rates At its August meeting, the Waterways Commission increased seasonal mooring rates 30-58% over 1988 rates for 1989 at state-owned and Municipal Marinas which have received state assistance in facility construction. This action was taken after an extensive study of statewide private facilities, consisting of some 5,000 slips, documenting a rate disparity between public and private fees. In developing the recommendation for 1989 transient fees, staff recognized that the primary focus of the marina construction program is providing transient moorage for travelling recreational boaters. However, the importance of realizing revenues from revenue producing structures had to be considered to maximize a local unit of government's ability to maintain and upgrade facili­ ties completed with State assistance. In addition, two major concerns arose if 7 -2-

transient rates were not substantially increased in view of the seasonal rate action: boaters would be inclined to keep their boats in transient slips for the season to avoid the higher seasonal rates and trailerable boats would be encouraged to stay in slips rather than launch and retrieve their boat each day. While the latter activity would be desirable if ample slips were avail­ able, such is not the case as evidenced by filled-to-capacity facilities during the boating season which denies moorage to watercraft on cruise. The staff recommendation, therefore, was to increase transient rates for the 1989 season 30% over 1988 rates, with Mackinac Island rates 12% higher consistent with past practice. In addition, staff noted the sewage pump-out fee has remained at $3.25 since 1980 to encourage compliance with State law and felt it appropriate to raise the fee to $4.00 for 1989 to better reflect costs associated with this service. After consideration, the Commission approved the staff recommendation as follows: RESOLVED, that the following transient rate schedule, rounded to the closest twenty-five cents, be and is hereby adopted for the 1989 boating season with the Mackinac Island rate to be 112% of the rates listed below: . Boats less than 21 feet in length $10.50 Flat Rate Boats 21' but less than 30' in length: .52 Per Foot Boats 30' but less than 40' in length: .57 Boats 40' but less than 50' in length: .60 Boats 50' but less than 60' in length: .70 Boats 60 feet and over in length: .90 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the sewage pump-out flat fee is $4.00 per connection (to include tank flushing) for the 1989 season. A copy of the minutes of the October meeting providing additional details on these items is included for your information.

November 21, 1988

Marorandum to the Natural Resources Ccmnission:

SUBJECI': Approval of a lease for the operation and maintenance of a golf course be~ Ypsilanti Township and Eastern Michigan University, a facility which lies within the dedicated boundaries of the project(s) area of the "Ford Lake Land Acquisition" (MLTF 823 and 824) and "Ypsilanti Township Golf Course Developnent" (MNRIF 86-161). All three are projects acquirerl and/or developed with Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRIF) assistance.

Authority:

Act 101 of the Public Acts of 1985 establisherl the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRIF). Act 105 and Act 208 of Public Acts of 1985 and 1987, respectiv~ly, und.er authority of Act 101 providerl for grants-in-aid to Ypsilanti Township· for the acquisition and developnent of the ypsilanti Township Golf Course for the use and enjoyrrent of residents of the 'lbwnship and general public. Under these acts and subsequent grant agreements administererl by the Deparbnent of Natural Resources (DNR), the MNRIF Board is authorized to approve leases of all facilities within the dedicated boundaries of projects acquirerl and/or developed with MNRIF nonies.

Discussion and Background.:

In 1984, Ypsilanti Township applierl to the MNRIF for the acquisition of 132 acres of land in. the Township adjacent to Ford Lake. The MNRIF Board approverl a $1. 2 million grant to the 'lbwnship to acquire the land. In 1985 Ypsilanti Township entered into an agreement with the DNR to own,· maintain, and operate, the land and any facilities that may be developed on the land.

In July, 1986, the Township entered into a lease agreement with Eastern Michigan University (EMU) for $1.00 per year for 99 years, to maintain and operate a future golf course on the MNRIF assisterl property. In August, 1986, EMU sold $2.25 million in. bonds for the purpose of constructing the golf course. Revenue generated fran the golf course plan is expected to be sufficient to retire the debt on the bonds and support operational costs of the course.

After the lease agreement between Ypsilanti Township and EMU was signed, the MNRIF Executive Secretary reviewed the agreement and found. rome technical errors in the agreement. In addition to the Executive Secretary's review, a copy was sent to the Attorney General IS Office for review.

------~--~------'------2 -

During the review of the lease agreement Ypsilanti 'Ibwnship applied for a MNRrF grant to assist EMU in developing the golf course. The MNRrF Board approved $500,000 toward this develq::rnent. Again, DNR and the Township entered into an agreement where the Township will be responsible to own, maintain, and operate the golf course.

Several meetings took place between the Township and the Department regarding the lease. Finally, an amendment to the lease was prepared incorporating language the Depart::rrent and Attorney General's Office felt was necessary to ensure public control and use of the facility.

The MNRrF Board of Trustees gave their approval of this lease at their Septanber 6, 1988, meeting. Tenns and comitions of the lease are as follows:

Lessor: Ypsilanti Township Lessee: Eastern Michigan University Term: 99 years Description: See Attachment A Comitions: Eastern Michigan University is responsible for developing the 132 acres into a golf course. Develop support facilities, Le. clubtx>use, maintenance building, storage building, etc., and be responsible for operation and rnanagem:mt of the golf course as described in the lease. Consideration: Eastern Michigan University will take the revenue generated fran $2.25 million in borrls for the purpose of constructing. the golf course and support facilities. The Township will seek available grants to assist the University in developim the site. EMU has the responsibility of rnakin;r improvem:mts and repairs on the site through the life of the lease.

Recorrmendation:

That> the Natural Resources Ccmnission approve the lease of 132 acres of land owned by Ypsilanti Township to EMU for develq:ment, maintenance, and operation of an 18-hole golf course and support facilities.

Background Information: The offered, improved, 243.76 acre tract is located in the northeast corner of Kalamazoo County, 13 miles northeast of Kalamazoo and 4 miles north of Augusta. The property is situated 2 miles east of Gull Lake and straddles Augusta Creek, a cold water tributary of the Kalamazoo River.

NRC Policy 2601 NRC Policy 2604 02/ Augusta Creek Streambank Access - Kalamazoo County .

The irregularly shaped upland tract is well drained with level to gently rolling ~ terrain. It contains 82 acres of tillable land, 32.76 acres of pasture, 9 acres of ,., marsh and wetlands, and 120 wooded acrea, exhibiting an attractive forest cover of mixed uneven aged hardwoods and areas of planted mixed conifer poles. Augusta Creek flows for 5,000 feet across the tract, entering near the northeast corner and exiting at the southern end. The creek is 20 feet wide, 1~ feet deep, and is cold, clear, and swift moving. It offers excellent fishing for both brown and brook trout, a relatively rare amenity to be found in Southern Michigan. Access to the tract is very good with frontage on 4 county roads.

The property is improved by an 825 square foot, rustic, elevated, octagon shaped dwelling of concrete, steel and frame construction. The air conditioned structure is served by electric and telephone, and has a living room, bedroom, kitchen, and 2 bathrooms. An elevated redwood walkway extends 100 feet to an elevated octagon shaped gazebo overlooking the creek. Other improvements include two rustic, octagon shaped, frame guest cabins, each containing 72 square feet. A covered bridge of concrete and wood construction containing 288 square feet of deck area crosses the creek in the west central part of the tract. All improvements were built in 1972 and are in average condition. A set of frame farm buildings is located in the southeastern portion of the property. The buildings include 2 barns, storage shed, equipment shed, corn crib, milk house, and a silo, all in poor condition.

This proposed acquisition will greatly enhance public recreation opportunities in this part of southwest Michigan. The tract will provide fisherman access to a 5,000 foot stretch. of excellent cold water brown and brook trout habitat, and will additionally, make available a 243.76 acre block of prime hunting and recreational land near the major~ population centers of Kalamazoo and Battle Creek. ,.,

DAVID F. HALES Director

Background Information: On August 10, 1973, the Natural Resources Commission authorized the disposition of 2,535 acres of land through Exchange 32952-X with the Hanna Mining Company. This land is located in west central Dickinson County, 10 miles north of Iron Mountain, immediately south of the Groveland Iron Ore Mine. As part of that exchange, the Department negotiated the right to repurchase at the rate of $1.00 per acre, the 2,535 acres of State land desired by Hanna in addition to 1,040 acres of adjacent land owned by Hanna. It was anticipated that this right of repurchase would take effect in the Year 2010 A.D., or at such time that mining operations ceased at the Groveland Mine.

NRC Policy 1031 NRC Policy 2604 Copper Country State Forest - Dickinson County

Changing economic conditions during the decade after the exchange has resulted in the closure of the Groveland Mine. The equipment at the mine site has been sold and the processing plant dismantled. The mine closing has activated the terms of the repurchase provisions on the 2,535 acres in the exchange and the 1,040 acres previously offered by Hanna. In addition, the company has offered to waive the $1.00 per acre repurchase price and will convey an additional 2,062.5 acres as a gift to the State of Michigan. The 5,637.5 acres to be conveyed to the Department are summarized as follows:

Former DNR Lands Acquired by Hanna in Exchange 2,535.0 AC* Hanna Lands Within Disposal Area 1,040.0 AC* Additional Hanna Lands Offered as Gift 2,062.5 AC Total 5,637.5 AC *(Subject to DNR repurchase at $1.00 per acre)

The offered 5,637.5 acres of land include over 1,000 acres of clear water ponds, 900 acres of seeded tailing areas, and 60 acres of open fields. The balance of the land is primarily wooded with a cover of aspen, pine plantation, hardwood poles, pines and swamp conifers. Wildlife review has indicated evidence of eagles, herons, loons, and osprey on the site. The offered parcel is also part of a deer yarding area. Access to the land is via 3/4 mile of county road frontage located at the northeast corner of the property. The site is serviced by numerous interior roads and trails which were developed and maintained as part of the mining operation •

. Under the supervision of the Region I Deputy Director, field staff has reviewed ~ the entire 5,637.50 acres. The impoundments on the site were found to be in good ,., condition. Both on site inspection and review of the environmental records did not demonstrate any unusual or potentially hazardous conditions. By acceptance of these lands the Department is taking on additional land management responsibilities and assuming certain long term costs. These additional responsibilities and cost, however, are heavily outweighed by the benefits of obtaining this significant recreational resource having an estimated value of $1,000,000.00.

Acquisition of this tract will augment public ownership within this portion of the Copper Country State Forest, preserve important wildlife and fisheries habitat, and provide a significant addition to the recreational opportunities for citizens and visitors of Michigan. ·e- .

Municipal Conveyance of Undedicated State-owned Land (1,216 Lots & Parcels)

Public use deed applications including formal resolution and deed consideration have been filed by the municipalities and agencies listed below to acquire title to State-owned tax-reverted land provided by law. All properties applied for have been reviewed and none have been found to be needed for the programs administered by the various Divisions within the Department.

Recommendations:

(1) That title be conveyed under authority of Act 223, P .A. 1909, as amended (211.461 MCL). The Act requires that in the event of future sale of these properties, proceeds in excess of maintenance expenses shall be prorated to those governmental units having a tax equity.

(2) That the State deed reserve mineral rights, rights of ingress and egress to watercourses under authority of Act 280, P.A. 1909, as amended (page 118, Laws Relating to State Lands, 1966 Edition).

Background Information:

Natural Resources Commission Policy No. 2625 recites that during the review of tax-reverted land annually deeded to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) , three basic options are open, namely:

(1) Withhold from sale for conservation use. (2) Accept applications and deed title to municipalities or public agencies under Act 223, P.A. 1909, as amended, being the Public Use Deed Act. (3) Sell the properties at public auction and return proceeds to local units having a tax lien at the time of delinquency.

All of the properties have been screened with appropriate DNR Divisions; first, on a basis of potential use for "conservation purposes" of this Department; and secondly, to determine if deeds of sale or by public use deed should contain any special notices of deed covenants consistent with the Attorney General opinion that sale covenants may not exceed limits established by statute and authorities. The subject lots or land parcels are applied for under Commission Policy No. 2625, and approved August 12, 1977, which states that the Department shall accept municipal and agency applications before proceeding to sell tax-reverted land not withheld for conservation use.
