SHINGLETON FOREST MANAGEMENT UNIT COMPARTMENT REVIEW PRESENTATION
COMPARTMENT # 102 ENTRY YEAR: 2010
Compartment Acreage: 1480 County: Alger
Revision Date: Oct. 27, 2008 Stand Examiner: Kristen Matson Legal Description: T49N, R13W, Sections 4, 9-15 RMU (if applicable): Management Goals: To manage the compartment in accordance with the principles of sustainable forest eco-system management. Soil and Topography: Rolling hills and steep bluffs. Mainly Kalkaska Sand in the east part, and Garlic Sand in the west. Ownership Patterns, Development, and Land Use in and Around the Compartment: Most of the surrounding ownership is owned by Heartwood Forestland Fund IV, with private parcels also on the north, east and west. Unique, Natural Features (include only non-site specific and non-sensitive information): Archeological, Historical, and Cultural Features (include only non-site specific and non-sensitive information): Old pine camp. Special Management Designations or Considerations: Watershed and Fisheries Considerations: Excellent. These streams are all SQCW, supporting excellent trout populations. The Sucker also supports a good anadromous salmon and steelhead run. Salmon, however, move upstream during late summer/early fall, and the low water results in a perched culvert at H-58, blocking most of their migration. Grand Marais Creek still shows CCC habitat improvement structures, although most have deteriorated beyond usefulness. Wildlife Habitat Considerations: Compartment 102 is part of the Grand Marais Sandy End Moraine and Outwash ecological sub-subsection, and is located east of Grand Marais near Lake Superior. The Sucker River serves as the southeast boundary and subsequently wraps around to the north of the compartment. Baker Creek and Grand Marias Creek also flow through this compartment. Northern hardwoods, aspen association, and pine plantation comprise the majority of the landscape. Beech bark disease affects many of the beech, and recent management in this area has focused on removing beech. Heartwood Forestland Fund IV owns substantial acreage within this compartment. Intensive timber management on these lands has impacted treatment decisions on State forests in this compartment. The compartment is close to, but outside of, the Grand Marais wintering yard for white-tailed deer.
Wildlife objectives and considerations include maintaining and providing age class, structural, and tree species diversity for species associated with northern hardwood forest; maintaining early successional young deciduous forest for associated wildlife species; and maintaining riverine systems by placing no-cut buffers along Sucker River, Baker Creek, and Grand Marais Creek for species associated with riverine and floodplain habitats. Hemlock, oak, and cedar will be retained where present to provide cover, species diversity, and a source of mast. Mineral Resource and Development Concerns and/or Restrictions: Surface sediments consist of lacustrine (lake) sand & gravel. There is insufficient data to determine the glacial drift thickness. The Cambrian Munising Formation and Precambrian Jacobsville Sandstone subcrop below the glacial drift. The Trempealeau could be used for stone and the Jacobsville was used as a building stone in the past. Gravel pits are located three miles to the west, but there could be some potential. There is no commercial oil and gas production in the UP. Vehicle Access: H-58 and The Old Seney Road are in the northwest, and there are dirt two-tracks accessing the eastern portion of the compartment. Survey Needs: A survey request was entered to establish the property lines for stands that will be harvested. Recreational Facilities and Opportunities: Recreational facilities include the North Country Trail, and the snowmobile trail which is on the Old Seney Road. The area is also used for hunting, fishing and berry picking. Fire Protection: All stands located in Sections 11 through 15 with the exception of stand # 23 in Section 15 are within the Blind Sucker Zone Dispatch Area. Some of the stands within the zone dispatch area are more prone to large fire occurrences due to the grass and pine timber types as well as a response time of one hour or more from the nearest office. The west half of the compartment is primarily composed of hardwood and lowland timber types, therefore fire occurrences are rare. Steep terrain and low ground can hinder access to some areas. Additional Compartment Information:
The following 5 reports from the Operations Inventory System (OIPC) are attached: ♦ Cover Type by Age Class ♦ Cover Type by Management Objective ♦ Compartment Volume Summary ♦ Proposed Treatments – No Limiting Factors ♦ Proposed Treatments – With Limiting Factors
The following information is displayed, where pertinent, on the attached compartment maps: ♦ Base feature information, stand numbers, cover types ♦ Proposed treatments ♦ Proposed road access system ♦ Suggested potential old growth

* 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.
DEDICATED CONSERVATION AREA DETAILS
Conservation Area SCA = Special Conservation Area
HCVA = High Conservation Value AreaERA = Ecological Reference Area
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.
Archaeological Site
SCA
A coldwater lake has temperature and dissolved oxygen conditions that allow naturally-reproduced or stocked trout populations and those of other coldwater fish species to persist from year to year. Suitable conditions for coldwater fishes may occur in Michigan lakes if they are relatively deep, have substantial groundwater inflows, or are located in colder (northern) areas of the state. Such lakes are established by Director's action and designated as trout resources by Fisheries Order 200.
Cold Water LakeSCA
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.
Cold Water StreamSCA
An area that provide some specific need for the life cycle of wildlife species, including State Wildlife Areas and Waterfowl Production Areas, deer wintering complexes in lowland conifer communities, grassland openings and savannas. Habitat areas are distinct from critical habitat designated for recovery of endangered or threatened species (such as Kirtland's warbler or piping plover areas) in that they are more general in nature, are not primarily associated with threatened or endangered species, and are not covered by species recovery plans that are developed in cooperation with Federal agencies.
Habitat AreaSCA
This category contains stands were identified for a broad range of reasons and were coded in the OI database as stand condition 8 as potential old growth (POG). Approximately 310,000 acres have been identified through the Operations Inventory (OI)/Compartment Review process. For stands in Year of Entry 2008 and forward, potential old growth is managed for the identified objective until it is: 1) vetted through the Biodiversity Conservation Planning Process (BCPP) and given a specific designation and objective (as an ERA, HCVA, or other type of SCA) and is released from the potential old growth designation; or 2) it is released from the potential old growth designation via the Compartment Review process.
