Grand Traverse Bay, Houghton County, Michigan, Lake Superior, Operation and Maintenance Activities, Environmental Assessment Report

摘要

The purpose of this study is to assess the environmental effects associated with the St. Paul District, Corps of Engineers harbor operation and maintenance activities at Grand Traverse Bay Harbor. This assessment has been drawn in part from an environmental report prepared by National Biocentric, Inc. and a shoreline process study prepared by Michigan Technological University, both under contract with the Corps of Engineers. Although various State and County maps refer to the harbor as 'Traverse Bay' or 'Big Traverse Bay', the Corps of Engineers has designated the harbor 'Grand Traverse Bay Harbor' in the past and, for the purpose of this study, that nomenclature will be used.
