TRAVERSE CITY FOREST MANAGEMENT UNIT COMPARTMENT REVIEW PRESENTATION COMPARTMENT # 157 ENTRY YEAR: 2010 Compartment Acreage: 2768 County: Kalkaska Stand Examiner: G.R.Grieve Legal Description: T26N, R7W, Sec. 6; T26N, R8W, Sec's. 1, 2 & 3; T27N, R7W, Sec. 31; T27N, R8W, Sec's. 34, 35 & 36. Management Goals: Multiple Use Soil and Topography: Mostly Croswell, AuGres & Rubicon soils. Also Tawas, Bowstring, AuSable, Roscommon, Leafriver, Kalkaska & Tawas soils. Upland areas are flat & well drained sands. Ownership Patterns, Development, and Land Use in and Around the Compartment: Mostly block state ownership. Multi ownership 80 in section 34 is only private in holding. The state has an in holding of private around Loon Lake. Unique, Natural Features (include only non-site specific and non-sensitive information): The North Branch Boardman River & the tributary, Crofton Creek, are part of the Natural Rivers system. Archeological, Historical, and Cultural Features (include only non-site specific and non-sensitive information): None listed on the Archeological Features list. There is an old homestead site near Loon Lake. Special Management Designations or Considerations: North Branch Boardman River, Crofton Creek & Loon Lake. Watershed and Fisheries Considerations: This compartment contains a variety of unique and critical watershed components as described in the Unique, Natural Features and Special Management Designations or Considerations sections. Therefore, please conform to all the BMPs listed in the Water Quality Management Practices on Forest Land (1994) handbook and the Natural Rivers vegetative buffers. In addition, do not harvest any trees in riparian areas that have the to provide woody debris or shade to the streams or lakes within this compartment. The vegetation buffer should compliment the natural contours and vegetation components of the Boardman River valley. Wildlife Habitat Considerations: Mineral Resource and Development Concerns and/or Restrictions: Surface sediments consist of glacial outwash sand and gravel and postglacial alluvium and an end moraine of coarse-textured till. The glacial drift thickness varies between and 600 feet. Beneath the glacial drift is the Mississippian Coldwater Shale. The Coldwater does not have a current economic use. Gravel pits are not located in the area, but there should be some. The Compartment is within the prolific Niagaran reef trend and most State minerals are leased. Part of Section 34 has been nominated for the October 2008 lease auction. 157 write-up.doc 11/18/2008 Page 1 of 2
Vehicle Access: No new access needed or closures at this time. Survey Needs: None known at this time. Recreational Facilities and Opportunities: Loon Lake needs a safe boardwalk type dock to replace the pellet dock which is there now. Fire Protection: Initial attack responsibilities are from the Kalkaska Field Office. Sections 1,2, & 3 T26N R8W are in Zone Dispatch 6. On High or above days, suppression Units from Traverse City and Manton respond to fire, and Units from Evart, Platte River, and Grayling respond towards the fire. VFD protection is from Kalkaska Twp. for the northern part of the compartment, and South Boardman VFD for the southern portion. Urban innerface is not too much of a concern, with only a few scattered residences. Travel time from Kalkaska is good, and access is acceptable.

Report Date: 10/02/2008 Traverse City Mgt. Unit Compartment: 157 DEDICATED CONSERVATION AREA DETAILS Page 1 of 1 * This is a list of Dedicated Biodiversity Areas for this compartment along with a 1/4 mile buffer surrounding the compartment. Refer to Dedicated Conservation Area Map for areas that the below listed Conservation Areas are located. Conservation Area Type Description ERA = Ecological Reference Area HCVA = High Conservation Value Area SCA = Special Conservation Area HCVA SCA Natural Rivers Archaeological Site There are two Natural Rivers datasets which are derived from spatial buffers set from an established and approved distance from the river centerlines. The Natural Rivers Zoning District is a foot buffer for most Natural Rivers. The Vegetative Buffer ranges from 25 to 100 feet. To view specific Zoning Districts and Vegetative Buffers for each Natural River see the table located on the I:\Documentation\GDSE data folder. An aquatic or terrestrial area of the State that contains physical remains of human occupation. These are sites of cultural and historical significance that may occur upon terrestrial areas and Great Lakes bottomlands. They include thousands of Native American settlements and burial sites, as well as French and British outposts, nineteenth century logging camps, mines and homesteads. Beneath the waters of the Great Lakes, there are shipwrecks and other remains documenting the maritime trade. Such sites may be identified by Natural heritage data from the State Historic Preservation Office. Proposed treatments in this compartment will be implemented in such a manner as to maintain the integrity of these sites. Due to the sensitive nature of this information, no further detail about location is available. SCA Cold Water Stream 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.
