Compartment Review Presentation Escanaba Forest Management Unit Compartment 33071 Entry Year 2017 Acreage: 708 County Menominee Management Area: North Menominee Moraines Revision Date: 2015-07-10 Stand Examiner: Dan McNamee Legal Description: T40N - R25W, SECTION 31 & 32, Menominee County, Michigan. Identified Planning Goals: 159 acres will be treated this treatment period. 15 acres of tamarack and 3 acres of lowland hardwood within cedar types will be harvested, 52 acres of lowland conifers consisting of spruce/tamarack will be treated. 84 acres of mixed upland deciduous will be treated using the selection and thinning silvicultural methods. Soil and topography: Mostly flat to gently rolling with scattered low and marshy areas mixed in. Major soil series found within this compartment are: Onaway, Rousseau, Salona on the high ground, Cathro, Ensly, Lupton, Tawas in the low ground. Ownership Patterns, Development, and Land Use in and Around the Compartment: Private ownership to the south and east, State ownership to west and north. Unique Natural Features: Some areas of Old growth hemlock. Archeological, Historical, and Cultural Features: N/A Special Management Designations or Considerations: N/A Watershed and Fisheries Considerations: Wildlife Habitat Considerations: This small compartment is primarily cedar swamp with intervening hardwood ridges. Past management has mainly focused on thinning northern hardwood stands while maintaining the considerable tree species diversity found here. These hardwood stands typically contain maple, hemlock, birch, beech, cedar, cherry, and ironwood. This decade, the main treatments will again be hardwood thinning with the same considerations for maintaining tree species diversity. In addition, mature stands of spruce and tamarack will be clearcut. The dense stands of cedar and hemlock will be retained for wildlife cover. This diversity enhances wildlife habitat. Mineral Resource and Development Concerns and/or Restrictions Surface sediments consist of medium-textured glacial till with drumlins. The glacial drift thickness varies between 10 and 50 feet. The Ordovician Black River Formation and Prairie du Chien Group underlie the glacial drift. The Black River can be used for dolomite/stone. There is no history of mineral leasing in this area. The nearest gravel pits are located one mile to the southeast on drumlins and there is potential on the upland drumlins within the compartment. No economic oil and gas production has been found in the UP. Vehicle Access: None, Accessible only across private property. Survey Needs: Recreational Facilities and Opportunities: Hunting and trapping. 07/10/2015 2:10:01 PM - Page 1 of 2 POLEYN Fire Protection: Fire Occurance is low in this area, Should a fire get started, there is access to this area.
