1 Revision Date: Stand Examiner: Tori Irving Legal Description: T38N R8W Sections 7 & 8 T38N R9W Sections,, 2 & 3-5 Compartment Review Presentation Shingleton Forest Management Unit Compartment Entry Year Acreage: County ,832 Delta Management Area: Lake Michigan Shoreline Identified Planning Goals: The goals in this compartment include conducting multiple resource management for current and future generations. Forest Health, Recreation, Biodiversity Stewardship, Wildlife and Timber Management are some of the key management components within this compartment. Soil and topography: The soils in this compartment are generally poorly drained due to their proximity to bedrock. The terrain in the area is relatively flat with the exception of the areas close to the lake which take on a dune and swale effect from glaciation and receding lake levels. The Eastern Upper Peninsula Eco-Regional Planning Process is using a Management Area Concept to manage on a broader scale and Land Type Associations (LTA s) are key components to defining the soils and topography within the Management Areas. This majority of this compartment lies within the Garden Wetlands/Outcrop LTA. In addition, there is a small amount of the compartment that lies within the Garden Outcrop LTA. Ownership Patterns, Development, and Land Use in and Around the Compartment: The compartment is fairly contiguous State land with some private fragmentation. The edges of the compartment and most of the Garden Peninsula are fairly fragmented. There is little development within the compartment except the Portage Bay State Forest Campground is to the east of the compartment which increases the amount of use in the area. Unique Natural Features: Currently under review by Michigan Natural Features Inventory (MNFI). Archeological, Historical, and Cultural Features: None known. Special Management Designations or Considerations: Watershed and Fisheries Considerations: This compartment borders the western shore of Big Bay De Noc (Lake Michigan). For all riparian areas, Best Management Practices should be followed. Wildlife Habitat Considerations: This compartment lies south and west of the village of Garden along the eastern coast of the Garden Peninsula. Presettlement data show the uplands contained a mixture of birch, sugar maple, hemlock, beech, white pine, and some basswood. Lowland areas consisted primarily of cedar swamps with a scattering of balsam fir, ash, and spruce. The current forest condition shows the swamp conifers continue to contain similar species to those found circa 850. However, the uplands have shifted to predominantly early successional systems. As with compartment 96, this area serves both as a deer yard complex as well as a stop over location for neo-tropical migrants crossing Lake Michigan. Therefore, the wildlife habitat objectives include providing closed canopy coniferous forest near the lakeshore and early successional deciduous forest inland. Mineral Resource and Development Concerns and/or Restrictions Small gravel pits are located in Section 5, and there may be some additional sand and gravel potential within the compartment. There may also be some limestone/dolostone potential. There is no known metallic mineral potential in this region, and there is no commercial oil and gas production in the UP.

2 The compartment has poor access to the majority of the interior of the compartment due to lack of roads or gates on private land. However, due to the sensitive areas within the compartment this bodes well for the management of those sensitive areas. Survey Needs: Recreational Facilities and Opportunities: There are no recreational facilities within the compartment. hunters, birdwatchers, berry pickers and ORV users. Fire Protection: This area is nearly an hour away from the Thompson Station so response times to a wildfire will be lengthy, however, there is a small pumper located at State Park with 2 qualified firefighters which will help in getting personnel to a fire more quickly. The area has very rocky terrain and also contains some very sensitive areas. The Wooded Dune and Swale ERA plan should contain guidance on fire protection when the plan is completed. However,due to the moist micro-climate that is created by Lake Michigan fire threats are relatively low. Additional Compartment Information: However, the area gets a lot of recreational users including The following reports from the Inventory are attached: Total Acres by Cover Type and Age Class Cover Type by Harvest Method Proposed Treatments No Limiting Factors Proposed Treatments With Limiting Factors Stand Details (Forested and Nonforested) Dedicated and Proposed Special Conservation Areas Site Condition Details The following information is displayed, where pertinent, on the attached compartment maps: Base feature information, stand boundaries, cover types, and numbers Proposed treatments Site condition boundaries Details on the road access system 08/23/207 :4:44 PM - Page 2 of 2 REEDH5

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 HCVA ERA Habitat Area Coastal Environmental Areas Ecological Reference Areas 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. The public designation process is defined by Part 323, Shorelands Protection and Management, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 994 PA 45. The program is administered by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). This is an inactive program with no new areas currently under consideration by the DEQ. Ecological Reference Areas (ERAs) are high quality examples of natural communities that have been identified as Element Occurrences (EOs) by the Michigan Natural Features Inventory (MNFI) within the context of their natural community classification system. Element Occurrences with viability ranks of A (Excellent) or B (Good) and a Global (G) or State (S) element (rarity) ranking of endangered (), threatened (2), or rare (3) serve as an initial base of ERAs. They may be located upon any ownership in the State. The system is comprised of individual or associations of natural community types that are managed for restoration and maintenance of natural ecological processes and values. The public may submit recommendations for lands as ERAs using the DNR Conservation Area Recommendation Form. 08/23/207 :40:08 PM - Page of
