SUMMARY:Virtual MI EGLE Public Hearing
DESCRIPTION:MI EGLE is hosting a Public Hearing for Enbridge’s  application to fill and construct in wetlands and place a water intake structure in Lake Michigan to facilitate the construction of the Line 5 Tunnel Project. \nThe permits are under the authority of Part 303\, Wetlands Protection and Part 325\, Great Lakes Bottomlands\, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA). The applicant proposes to grade\, construct\, and maintain uses in 1.53 acres of wetlands in Mackinac County on Point LaBarbe.

Up to 15 concrete ballasts\, to weigh the intake pipe and structure to the lake bottom are also proposed. The water intake structure is proposed to remain on Lake Michigan bottomlands for the duration of construction\, and all bottomland impacts from the intake are proposed to be eliminated following construction. The project is located in T39N\, R04W\, Section 10\, Wawatam and T40N\, R04W in Moran Township\, Emmet and Mackinac County\, Michigan. \nRegister and see more event details on the Zoom Webinar registration website. \nAfter registering\, you will receive an email from “EGLE Outreach” with a link for you to use to join the online hearing.

SUMMARY:Bad River Watershed Bioblitz
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the month of August in observing as many species in the Bad River Watershed as we can! We are especially interested in surveying for threatened\, endangered\, and nonlocal beings. We are most interested in observations of these species along waterways *one quarter mile upstream* and *two miles downstream* of the proposed reroute. However\, we are not looking to observe species on any Bad River Reservation lands. \nTo submit observations\, check out our iNaturalist event\, where you can also see a map of the area of interest. For checking locations\, see https://dev.watchline5.com/wisconsin-reroute/ for a downloadable map of the proposed reroute and access roads. If surveying by waterways\, ensure you are entering along public roads and staying within the current to avoid trespassing on private properties. \nEmail tne.search2@proton.me for more info or to get connected with surveying opportunities! See https://dev.watchline5.com/endangered-and-threatened-species-survey/ for more info.
