| Description | Northern Michigan's lakes, streams and wetlands are precious organic sources. Their security is vital in preserving the 'Up North' character that is so special. One of the most critical approaches you can shield your lake or stream is to management erosion and sedimentation of your shoreline or streambank. Erosion and sedimentation can have a significant impact on water top quality, wildlife habitat, and house values. An successful technique referred to as "biotechnical erosion manage" provides the most price-effective, environmentally welcoming and aesthetically appealing substitute to controlling accelerated shoreline erosion. The Watershed Council can build restoration styles based mostly on this method, as well as implement for the essential condition and neighborhood permits and coordinate the installation of the task.

Shoreline and Streambank Erosion Handle The Watershed Council can offer diverse stages of deal providers for shoreline and streambank restoration requirements. The initial phase is to complete our Shoreline, Streambank, and Wetland Questionnaire. Soon after examining your questionnaire, we will make contact with you to examine your alternatives. This might consist of scheduling a site evaluation the place Watershed Council workers will check out your shoreline or streambank property, document the existing conditions, and recommend courses of motion. In some instances, a restoration plan or layout is advisable to curb the development of erosion and sedimentation, and "restore" the shoreline or streambank to its former condition. An efficient technique referred to as "biotechnical erosion control" gives the most expense-powerful, environmentally helpful and aesthetically attractive alternative to managing accelerated shoreline erosion. The Watershed Council can create restoration types dependent on this method, as nicely as use for the required point out and nearby permits and coordinate the set up of the undertaking. Small Dam Removing Much more than two,five hundred dams have been created and even now exist throughout Michigan’s rivers. Each dam produced a perceived advantage – to transfer timber, function mills, make electricity – but every single has also contributed to comprehensive cumulative impacts. Dams change the flow of water and avoid the normal movement of sediment in the river channel. They also block fish passage, limit accessibility to habitat, fragment river ecosystems, and impair h2o high quality each in the reservoir and downstream. Numerous of the created dams in the state are getting older or obsolete requiring maintenance to hold them protected and performing effectively, frequently putting a weighty burden on home proprietors. The elimination of outdated and dilapidated dams and other structures from a river can be advantageous. To experience the increasing crisis of ageing dams in our waters, Michigan can turn to dam elimination not only as an effective river restoration resource, but also as a group revitalization chance. Although dam elimination presents the opportunity to restore our waters, any dam removing entails thinking about many elements such as downstream sedimentation, upstream migration of exotics, impacts to fish and wildlife, especially threatened and endangered species, and possible loss or degradation of wetlands. |
