Lake Superior Harbors of Refuge at Lutsen and Beaver Bay Cook and Lake Counties Minnesota.

Abstract

This document describes the proposed harbor of refuge at Lutsen and Beaver Bay along Lake Superior. Alternative sites were considered at Silver Bay and Schroeder, Minnesota. The proposed harbor would provide shelter for recreational boating crafts, mooring sites, and vessel service facilities. Unavoidable adverse environmental and biological effects of the project are described due to dredging, dredge material disposal, land use, and construction of breakwaters. However, other disposal methods are proposed and coordinated with state and federal agencies in accordance with appliable federal laws. Natural resources such as fuels and construction materials would be expended during construction, breakwater repair and disposal operations. (Author)
