Dear Friends, As I sit at my desk, looking out at the activities taking place in the harbor today I can't help but be amazed at the ways people find to be "on the water". There are kids learning to sail, kayaks paddling across to Harbor Point, paddle boarders making their way along the shoreline; a small boat with a couple of guys with fishing poles either fishing or napping; a couple who are here almost every weekend tending to their boat at the dock; marina personnel preparing and delivering boats to lakefront homes in preparation for a summer of fun on the water; owners and their dogs playing fetch; and adults, teenagers and infants playing at the beach, swimming to the raft and perfecting their cannonballs!

Wherever water is in Northern Michigan, you will find the Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council working to protect what you love.

This past year the Watershed Council has been engaged in a number of issues: invasive species, stormwater runoff, the need for stronger regulations regarding the safety of our water from natural gas and oil development using a very deep drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and protecting our waters from the improper disposal of pharmaceuticals. All of which affect both the water we see in our lakes, rivers and streams, but also the water we don't see, our groundwater supply.

Things like the Prescription and Over-the-Counter Drug (POD) Drop-off Boxes seem simple, but in fact are sometime very difficult to institute. The Charlevoix County and Antrim County Local Ordinance Gaps Analysis required an almost unimaginable amount of time, effort and dedication by the Watershed Council's staff and yet they are critical in assisting local governments in their planning efforts.

Whatever your water related passion, we can all be better stewards of our natural resources by continually learning, becoming engaged and maybe even volunteering our time and talents in an area or activity that interests you.

I hope you will join me in congratulating the Watershed Council on another successful year protecting and celebrating our lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands and groundwater. Thank you so much for your support of this remarkable organization.

Sincerely,

Michael Esposito Michael Esposito Board President

Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council spent 2011 engaged in a number of issues. The top threats facing our watersheds were invasive species, stormwater runoff and pharmacueticals in our waters. We also continued to champion for stronger regulations regarding the safety of our water from a very deep drilling technique used during natural gas and oil development known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. These battles are not won single handedly though. We know that the future of our waters lies collectively in our hands.

Protecting What You Love.

Hydraulic Fracturing Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council has been actively involved with this issue since the gas frenzy in the Collingwood Shale erupted. In 2011, we conducted research, educated landowners and the public, and worked with the State to address many unanswered questions.

We battled to stengthen existing rules and regulations to address unanswered questions and unresolved issues. Thanks to our efforts, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) responded by issuing new permitting instructions and began the posting of MSDS sheets as soon as they are available. This struggle for better protection of our waters is far from over, but we feel that in 2011 we made strides in the right direction for protecting what you love.

POD Program Expanded

593 pounds

Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council worked diligently of unwanted in 2011 to coordinate a secure, convenient, and pharmacueticals environmentally sound option for disposal of unused were collected in 2011. and unwanted household medications. The Prescription and Over-the-Counter Drug (POD) Drop-off Boxes (shown right) offer a year-round safe method for citizens to dispose of unwanted drugs. The program reduces avoidable poisonings; prevents intentional misuse, and protects our water resources and aquatic life.

In 2011 POD Boxes were installed at: • Boyne City - City Hall • Charlevoix County Sheriff’s Office • City of East Jordan Police Department • City of Petoskey - City Hall • Harbor Springs Police Department • Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians Tribal Police Department

The program also hosted five collection events: three in Harbor Springs, one in Boyne City and one at McLaren-Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey.

Lakes Over 30 million people depend on the Great from the

for their drinking water, and millions more benefit business, industry, and commerce that depend on them. Just some of the reasons we work so hard to protect them.

Addressing Gaps in Local Protection In 2011, the Watershed Council published two significant works for Charlevoix and Antrim Counties.

The Charlevoix County Local Ordinance Gaps Analysis and the Antrim County Local Ordinance Gaps Analysis are a review of all the water-related ordinances for purposes of evaluating them against what should be in place to best protect water resources, and offer recommendations and suggested actions to help local governments strengthen any areas that need improvement. The publications cover ordinances not only at the county level, but also for cities, townships, and villages in each county.

Both publications are available online at www.watershedcouncil.org/publications.

Watershed Management Plans A watershed management plan is a community resource. Each plan identifies the watershed’s water resources, overall health, and the various land uses that are currently, or have the potential to, directly impact water quality. A plan also includes recommendations and actions for local governments, resource agencies, and organizations to protect or restore water quality.

Here are just a few of the successful actions implemented as part of our ongoing efforts to implement our watershed management plans.

• As part of a grant from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) the Watershed Council, along with our project partners, developed and distributed the Charlevoix County Local Ordinance Gaps Analysis.

• We successfully partnered with The Watershed Center of Grand Traverse Bay to coordinate the Elk River Chain of Lakes Watershed Plan Implementation Team (ERCOL-WPIT).

• With the help of a valued volunteer, we conducted a Taking Stock Report on Watershed Implementation Steps to evaluate the accomplishments achieved during the last of five years of implementation of the Little Traverse Bay Watershed Management Plan. We also set priorities for the next five years.

Protecting What You Love.

When most people think of Northern Michigan’s waters,they think of our vibrant lakes, rivers, and streams. However, it’s more than that – it’s ground water, shorelines, and wetlands too. Wherever water is in Northern Michigan, you will see Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council advocating its health, protecting it from harm, and restoring it for future generations to enjoy.

Protecting What You Love.

Little Traverse Bay Stormwater Management Initiative In the fall of 2011, Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council was awarded a $887,723 grant through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. This grant addresses nonpoint source pollution through implementation of specific recommendations from the Little Traverse Bay Watershed Management Plan. The four components of the project include two road/stream crossing improvements, a stormwater wetland at North Central Michigan College, 25 rain gardens within the Bay View Association, and restoration efforts on Lower Tannery Creek. The work will span over the next three years and involve many community partners.

Green Docks, Indian River

Rain Gardens The Watershed Council is improving the water quality of Northern Michigan one rain garden at a time. In 2011, rain gardens were installed at the Green Docks in Indian River and at the U of M Biological Station on Douglas Lake. Rain gardens improve water quality, recharge ground water, create habitat and add beauty to the landscape.

U of M Biological Station on Douglas Lake

ern Did you know that municipal stormwater systems in North t, Michigan are not required to treat stormwater, and as a resul most stormwater discharges directly into our lakes and rivers (surface waters)

without treatment!

Stormwater Monitoring Equipment Thanks to grants from the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Community Foundation and the Charlevoix County Community Foundation, the Watershed Council began monitoring stormwater in Boyne City, East Jordan, and Petoskey to assess impacts to nearby lakes and streams. Three automated samplers were purchased with the grant funds and used to monitor stormwater in these communities. Information gathered during this study will provide a foundation for developing comprehensive stormwater management plans for each municipality, which will ultimately reduce stormwater impacts to our surface waters when implemented.

Beetle Collection Day

Since 2005, the Watershed Council has coordinated a Galerucella Beetle Collection Day. Beetles are collected and then transplanted to areas around Northern Michigan where purple loosestrife is established.

As a biological control method, the beetles help curb the spread of the invasive plant by eating its leaves and buds.

Protecting What You Love.

By being good environmental stewards, continually learning, engaging in policy issues, and digging in as a volunteer, YOU play an important role in protecting and restoring our vital water resources. Without YOU, we wouldn’t be able to keep our finger on the pulse of Nothern Michigan’s water resources.

Monitoring & Surveys Monitoring our waters is a year-long process. Whether we are in the field, in the lab, compiling data, or writing reports, there is always something to do. The following projects were among those performed in 2011: ◆

The Watershed Council partnered with the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians (LTBB) to survey the entire Bear River and Walloon Lake for erosion, greenbelts, and invasive species.

◆

In collaboration with the Emmet County Lake Association (ECLA), we developed a more accurate and thorough avian botulism monitoring program. A workshop was held in the fall to train volunteers in monitoring protocols and to assign volunteers, aka “beach ranger,” to monitor specific shoreline areas.

◆

Since 1980, the Watershed Council has worked with the Walloon Lake Association to protect the shoreline and safeguard water quality. During the winter of 2011, we completed data analyses, maps, and a report for the 10th comprehensive shore survey of Walloon Lake (performed in 2010) and then, we reached out to private property owners to begin the process of addressing problems such as shoreline erosion.

◆

Our staff wrote nearly 200 individual letters to riparian property owners on Burt and Mullett Lakes who had responded to questionnaires sent out as follow-up to recent shore surveys. In addition, we performed site assessments and septic system evaluations at multiple locations on each lake.

◆

Due to the Burt Lake Preservation Association’s concern about pollution from upstream sources, particularly sediments, the Watershed Council monitored water quality in all five of the major tributaries flowing into Burt Lake to assess impacts from each river or creek.

◆

For the 12th year in a row, we collected water quality data throughout the year in both Elk and Skegemog Lakes for the Elk-Skegemog Lake Association. Due to a proliferation of diatom algae in the lakes, monitoring was expanded to include two types of nitrogen.

◆

Springtime phosphorus monitoring was performed by Watershed Council staff on Walloon Lake for the 15th year on behalf of the Walloon Lake Association.

◆

The Watershed Council revisited dozens of sites on the Lake Michigan shoreline where invasive Phragmites had been treated to assess effectiveness of control efforts and provide recommendations to private property owners regarding follow-up treatment needs.

Protecting What You Love.

Volunteer Stream Monitoring Program Expanded Since 2004, over 100 volunteers have helped keep tabs on streams and rivers throughout Northern Michigan, including well known blue-ribbon trout streams like the Jordan and Pigeon Rivers. Thanks to a grant awarded from the Michigan Clean Water Corps in the spring of 2011, the program was expanded to include eight new sites on two new streams: the Maple and Sturgeon Rivers. Along with other volunteers, the local chapter of Trout Unlimited has provided volunteer assistance to help monitor these new sites.

Volunteers in our program are now monitoring 37 sites on 14 rivers and streams in Northern Michigan, where they collect aquatic macroinvertebrates to assess the streams. Diversity in the macroinvertebrate community and the presence of pollution-sensitive groups are metrics used to gauge the health of a stream.

The Watershed Council, as well as state agencies and other organizations, use the water quality data collected by volunteers to identify and address problems. Results from the stream monitoring program are shared in a report that provides a description for each stream and assigns a water quality grade ranging from “A” to “F”. The report can be found on our website.

Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program In 2011, 23 lakes were monitored by 62 volunteers.

Volunteers help us evaluate lake ecosystem health, examine trends within or between water bodies, and identify specific problems. “Lake Profile” reports detailing results of the volunteer lake monitoring program can be found on our website at www.watershedcouncil.org/protect.

Shoreline Restoration Video Thanks to the generous support of the Schoenleber Foundation, the Watershed Council produced a short video featuring a shoreline restoration project on Intermediate Lake. Watershed Council staff selected the site out of dozens of potential candidates, designed the bioengineering solution, and worked with the landscape contractor and property owner to install the project-all while the camera was rolling!

Sedimentation Study: The “dirt” on the Rapid and Grass Rivers During the last few years, the Watershed Council has been actively involved with implementation of the Grand Traverse Bay Watershed Protection Plan for the Elk River Chain of Lakes Watershed. Through a series of committee meetings, partners from the lower watershed banded together to address sedimentation issues in the Rapid and Grass Rivers. In the summer of 2011, we assisted with trainings, data collection, inventories, and hydrologic modeling to assess sediment sources and transport throughout these river systems. In addition to the Watershed Council, partners in this collaborative project include the Watershed Center Grand Traverse Bay, Elk-Skegemog Lake Association, Three Lakes Association, Friends of Clam Lake, Friends of the Rapid River, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Grand Traverse Bay Bands of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, and the College at Brockport SUNY.

Programs, Meetings, and Events In 2011, Watershed Council staff presented educational tours on Walloon Lake, Mullett Lake, Black Lake, Crooked Lake, and the Grass and Jordan Rivers. A walking tour of the Carp Creek Gorge was hosted with the Burt Lake Preservation Association as well.

The Watershed Council also hosted two Lake Michigan Summits, a Lake Association Summit and an educational speaker series called “Ice Breakers.” Watershed Council staff also spoke on a wide range of topics for numerous lake associations and service organizations.

Financials

2011 was another good year for Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council, both financially and operationally. Revenues were close to last year and expenses were at or close to budget. Our investment portfolio was up, thanks to our investment manager’s good work. Cash flow was more than adequate for operations.

There was a decline in total assets and total net assets. The good news here is we sold the Graham Road property to the Little Traverse Conservancy to add to their neighboring preserve. The property had been virtually unused and had been on the books for many years carried at yesteryear’s donated cost basis. The sale of the property for a “book” loss of nearly $75,000.00 provided a large cash infusion of $85,100.00 which initiated our new Asset Repair and Replacement Fund (ARRF).

ARRF will provide a nest egg for major repairs and replacements.
