Final Environmental Impact Statement. Ontonagon Harbor Operation and Maintenance Activities. Ontonagon County, Michigan.

Abstract

The action involves operation and maintenance of Ontonagon Harbor, Michigan. Principal activities include breakwater repair, dredging, and dredge material disposal; the harbor is maintained for recreational craft. The use of polluted dredge material in the construction of a waste treatment facility and as fill on biologically sterile lands adjacent to the lagoons, provides advantageous use for the dredge material; non-polluted dredge material is used for beach nourishment. Adverse effects include increased turbidity, increased noise and congestion, and land use alterations due to on-land placement of dredge material.
