THIS PROJECT SUPPORTS THE GREAT LAKES RESTORATION INITIATIVE AND THE GREAT LAKES WATER QUALITY AGREEMENT, PURSUANT TO PUBLIC LAW 113-76. THIS PROJECT

CROSS BOUNDARY: REDUCING COMMUNITY WILDFIRE RISK; ONE PENINSULA, TWO NATIONAL FORESTS, THREE GREAT LAKES

THE SUPERIOR WATERSHED PARTNERSHIP WILL RE-ROUTE A STORMWATER DRAIN OUTFALL INTO A COASTAL WETLAND TO ALLOW FOR THE NATURAL TREATMENT OF STORMWATER BEFORE DISCHARGE INTO LAKE SUPERIOR. A PROJECTED 7.5 - 9.1 MILLION GALLONS OF STORMWATER (AND ASSOCIATED SEDIMENTS, NUTRIENTS, AND PATHOGENS) WILL BE TREATED ANNUALLY.

ENGAGING YOUTH AND COMMUNITIES TO PROTECT AND RESTORE FOREST LANDSCAPES IN MICHIGAN'S UPPER PENINSULA

THE SUPERIOR WATERSHED PARTNERSHIP, WORKING WITH THE GREAT LAKES FISHERY COMMISSION, THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE SEA LAMPREY CONTROL PROGRAM, THE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, THE ALGER COUNTY ROAD COMMISSION, AND BURT TOWNSHIP, SEEKS FUNDING THROUGH THE NATIONAL FISH PASSAGE PROGRAM FOR A STREAM RESTORATION PROJECT THAT IMPROVES HABITAT FOR NATIVE FISH WHILE STRENGTHENING SEA LAMPREY CONTROL. THE PROJECT INTRODUCES A NEW COOPERATIVE APPROACH DESIGNED TO BALANCE NATIVE AQUATIC SPECIES NEEDS WITH SEA LAMPREY MANAGEMENT, WITH POTENTIAL APPLICATION ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES BASIN. THE PROJECT TAKES PLACE IN THE SUCKER RIVER WATERSHED ALONG LAKE SUPERIOR IN MICHIGANS UPPER PENINSULA. THE EXISTING ROAD CROSSING ON COUNTY ROAD H-58 CONTAINS UNDERSIZED AND PERCHED CULVERTS THAT BLOCK UPSTREAM MOVEMENT OF NON-JUMPING NATIVE FISH, INCLUDING BROOK TROUT. THESE CULVERTS ALSO CAUSE EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION THAT DEGRADE HABITAT DOWNSTREAM. THE PROJECT WILL BE COMPLETED IN TWO PHASES. PHASE 1 (FUNDED THROUGH THIS REQUEST): REMOVE THE EXISTING CULVERTS AND INSTALL A FREE-SPAN BRIDGE OR ARCH STRUCTURE THAT RECONNECTS 20 MILES OF UPSTREAM HABITAT. THE NEW STRUCTURE WILL ALSO STABILIZE THE STREAM BANKS AND REDUCE FUTURE DAMAGE TO THE ROAD BY RESTORING THE STREAM TO A NATURAL ALIGNMENT. PHASE 2: CONSTRUCT A SEASONAL SEA LAMPREY BARRIER ABOUT 20 MILES UPSTREAM TO REDUCE LAMPREY PRODUCTION WHILE ALLOWING NATIVE FISH MOVEMENT OUTSIDE THE LAMPREY SPAWNING PERIOD. THIS ACTION WILL EXPAND ACCESS TO AN ADDITIONAL 95 MILES OF HABITAT FOR NON-JUMPING SPECIES. TOGETHER, THE TWO PHASES WILL RESTORE A TOTAL OF 115 MILES OF HABITAT FOR PRIORITY NATIVE SPECIES, IMPROVE LONG-TERM WATERSHED HEALTH, AND MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE SEA LAMPREY MANAGEMENT. LIMITING SEA LAMPREY TO THE LOWER RIVER WILL MAKE PESTICIDE TREATMENTS MORE EFFICIENT, REDUCING COST AND EFFORT FOR THE SEA LAMPREY CONTROL PROGRAM AND ALLOWING RESOURCES TO BE REDIRECTED TO OTHER GREAT LAKES TRIBUTARIES. THE PROJECT WILL BENEFIT STATE, FEDERAL, AND TRIBAL FISHERIES BY SUPPORTING NATIVE FISH POPULATIONS AND IMPROVING LONG-TERM CONTROL OF INVASIVE SPECIES. LOCAL COMMUNITIES WILL ALSO BENEFIT FROM A SAFER AND MORE RESILIENT H-58 CROSSING, WHICH SERVES AS A HEAVILY TRAVELED ROUTE CONNECTING APPROXIMATELY 80 MILES OF RECREATIONAL AND SCENIC AREAS FROM MUNISING TO DEER PARK, MICHIGAN.
