1 Revision Date: Stand Examiner: Tori Irving Legal Description: T39N R8W Sections 2, 28, 29 & 3-34 Compartment Review Presentation Shingleton Forest Management Unit Compartment Entry Year Acreage: County ,34 Delta Management Area: Lake Michigan 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 nearly all contiguous State land with a single piece of private in the center of the compartment which is mainly hunting land. The edges of the compartment and most of the Garden Peninsula are fairly fragmented. There is little development within the compartment except for the Portage Bay State Forest Campground 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 contains which borders the western shore of Big Bay De Noc (Lake Michigan) contains Fishery Lake, Bog Lake, and Charboneau Lake. For all riparian areas, Best Management Practices should be followed. Wildlife Habitat Considerations: This compartment lies on the shores of Lake Michigan at Berndt and Portage Bays. The coast is lined with old beach ridges and interdunal wetlands which have been placed in the nomination for oldgrowth. Alvar dominates section 32. Presettlement data show the uplands contained a diverse mixture of white pine, hemlock, birch, beech, sugar maple and aspen. Lowlands were dominated by cedar with tamarack, spruce, and balsam fir scattered about. The current lowlands appear to be quite similar to circa 850 conditions. The uplands, however, have shown a shift toward more aspen and less northern hardwoods. This compartment not only serves as an active deer yard, but also provides important resting areas for neo-tropical migrants after crossing Lake Michigan. Additionally the compartment contains sensitive habitats and plant species. As such, wildlife habitat management objectives are diverse ranging from maintaining coastal closed canopy coniferous forests to providing early successional deciduous forest and protecting unique alvar habitat and the associated plant community. Mineral Resource and Development Concerns and/or Restrictions A gravel pit is located in Section 20 and there may be some 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. 07/30/208 4:32:4 PM - Page of 2 REEDH5

2 Vehicle Access: 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 management of those sensitive areas. Survey Needs: None at the present time. Recreational Facilities and Opportunities: The Portage Bay State Forest Campground is within the compartment located on Lake Michigan in section 33. The campground offers 3 rustic camping sites, a primitive boat launch and a hiking trail. The trail is called the Ninga Aki Pathway and is a 2 looped interpretive pathway which starts and ends within the campground. In addition the area gets a lot of recreational users including hunters, birdwatchers, berry pickers, ORV users and snowmobilers. 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 Fayette 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 microclimate that is created by Lake Michigan fire threats are relatively low.

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. 07/30/208 4:3:50 PM - Page of

[/2/09 BB] Due to comments from MNFI for the stands prescribed in this compartment for the 2009 YOE Compartment Review a survey request was submitted to attempt to root out if any of the "potential" rare plants were actually within the prescribed stands as well as the endangered Calypso Orchid. The request was funded and a survey was conducted in the fall of 2008 by MNFI field staff. MNFI did not survey for the orchid since it was the wrong time of year but they did survey for Dwarf Lake Iris but only in stand 48 and Stand 6 Compartment 97. The results of the survey were they found Dwarf Lake Iris in openings outside of the prescribed stands. In addition, MNFI found a significant population of Glossy Buckthorn an invasive species. After discussions with MNFI they agreed that winter cutting would not impact the Dwarf Lake Iris and though they did not survey for Calypso Orchid it likely is not the right habitat for it and again winter logging would not adversely effect it. However, MNFI was concerned about cutting the stand which may allow the buckthorn to take over the site. There is no access to the area currently so any buckthorn would have likely been established through a wildlife vector. Without access there is no way to treat the invasive therefore in discussions with Mike Paluda and Jeff Stampfly it was agreed to cut the stands, establish the access and monitor the buckthorn after harvest. See the compartment file for more detailed information. [9/2/09 BB] Sale is now on proposal -09 Portage Bay Sale, Unit 4, 3 acres. Retention was entirely excluded with paint line.
