1 Revision Date: Examiner: Adam Petrelius Legal Description: T42N R16W Sections 3, 10, 11, 14, and Compartment Review Presentation Shingleton Forest Management Unit Compartment Entry Year Acreage: County ,042 Schoolcraft Management Area: Seney Manistique Swamp Identified Planning Goals: The main goal of this compartment is to conduct multiple resource management for current and future generations. Soil and topography: The topography within the compartment is mostly flat. Slight elevation changes occur in the forested areas. About 60% of the compartment is unproductive forest with the majority of that acreage classified as treed bog. Approximately half of the remaining acreage is dominated by lowland conifers, and the other half is a mixture of red pine, jack pine, and white pine. The major soil types found within the compartment, in order of abundance, are Dawson-Greenwood-Loxley, Spot-Finch Complex, CarbondaleLupton-Tawas, and Rousseau-Neconish-Finch. Habitat types within the compartment, in order of abundance, are unclassified wetland, PVE, and PArVAa. Ownership Patterns, Development, and Land Use in and Around the Compartment: State land within this compartment was acquired between 1927 and Approximately half of the compartment boundary is bordered by state land. One interior private acre parcel has been acquired from Plum Creek since previous inventory period. Numerous private landowners border the compartment on the south and east edges. Most of these owners have a camp on their property. Access to the compartment is limited and it is mostly used by these adjacent landowners. Unique Natural Features: None known. Archeological, Historical, and Cultural Features: None known. Special Management Designations or Considerations: A portion of this compartment, located in the northeast corner, is designated as a Special Conservation Area. The reason for this designation is deeryard. Watershed and Fisheries Considerations: The Sturgeon Hole Creek is found within this compartment. A warm-water stream, it supports resident fish and fish that migrate from the Manistique River. Yellow perch, northern pike, suckers and minnows have all been documented through fisheries surveys. ard BMP s should be implemented to control sediment sources from adjacent uplands. Woodruf Lake is also found within this compartment. No files exist for this body of water, therefore, information regarding the aquatic community is not known. Wildlife Habitat Considerations: The eastern portion of this compartment is part of the Sturgeon Hole Deer Yard. The wildlife habitat management regime consist of maintaining closed canopy coniferous cover within the deer yard and promoting species and size class diversity within and between the forested islands of the marsh complex. Mineral Resource and Development Concerns and/or Restrictions Surface sediments consist of lacustrine (lake) sand and gravel and peat & muck. There is insufficient data to determine the glacial drift thickness. The Silurian Cabothead Shale and Manitoulin Dolomite subcrop below the glacial drift. The Manitoulin could be used for stone/dolostone. A clay pit is located to the north and a gravel pit is located in Section 24, but there appears to be limited potential. There is no commercial oil and gas production in the UP. Vehicle Access: 08/23/2017 1:12:20 PM - Page 1 of 2 REEDH5

2 State highway M-94 travels through the eastern portion of the compartment. Two forest roads enter the main portion of the compartment. Both roads are in decent shape and will support vehicle traffic. However, both roads are gated and vehicle access to the majority of the compartment is limited to those private landowners. Spruceville Road travels southeast from M-94 for a short distance through the compartment and eventually reaches the Haywire Grade. Survey Needs: Survey work is needed. Recreational Facilities and Opportunities: There are no recreational facilities located within the compartment. The Haywire Grade, a designated snowmobile trail, is located ¼ mile east of the compartment. Opportunities for hunting and other forms of recreational activity exist within the compartment. Fire Protection: Response time to fires within this compartment will be slow to moderate. Although there are 2 main forest roads entering the compartment, much of the compartment is low ground. Some areas of the compartment are more than 1 mile from the nearest road. A combination of organic soils, limited access, drought conditions, and lightning activity could make firefighting efforts difficult here. The compartment has only 1 surface water source that is easily accessible, the Sturgeon Hole Creek. Numerous other water sources are available a few miles away.

Refer to the Special Conservation Area Map for locations of the below listed Conservation Areas. Conservation Area Type Description ERA = Ecological Reference Area HCVA = High Conservation Value Area SCA = Special Conservation Area SCA SCA Cold Water Stream Habitat Area A coldwater stream has temperature and dissolved oxygen conditions that allow naturally-reproduced or stocked trout populations and those of other coldwater fish species (e.g., slimy sculpin) to persist from year to year. Coldwater streams in Michigan typically provide these conditions due to substantial contributions of groundwater to their stream flows. Such streams are established by Director's action and designated as trout resources by Fisheries Order 210. An area that provide some specific need for the life cycle of wildlife species, including State Wildlife Areas and Waterfowl Production Areas, deer wintering complexes in lowland conifer communities, grassland openings and savannas. Habitat areas are distinct from critical habitat designated for recovery of endangered or threatened species (such as Kirtland's warbler or piping plover areas) in that they are more general in nature, are not primarily associated with threatened or endangered species, and are not covered by species recovery plans that are developed in cooperation with Federal agencies. 08/23/2017 1:10:17 PM - Page 1 of 1
