             Dear Mr. Hautau:


             The enclosed deliverables fulfill the requirements of the Coastal Zone Management Grant from
             the Michigan Department of Natural Resources for the Belle Isle Piers Fishery Habitat
             Enhancement Project. Please find enclosed six copies each of the following: a report
             summarizing the conceptual and preferred design alternatives; preliminary plans and technical
             specifications; an estimate of probable construction costs; and, three copies of the completed
             ACOE/MDEQ permit application to dredge or fill in the waters of the United States. As
             described below, there still remains some unresolved issues regarding agency partners and
             final deposition of dredge materials that could not be resolved prior to the submittal deadline.

             The enclosed documents of the Fishery Habitat Enhancement Project were developed in
             cooperation with the City of Detroit Recreation Department and the Michigan Department of
             Natural Resources (MDNR) Fisheries Division. The preferred alternatives have been reviewed
             by or discussed with the MDNR, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, (MDEQ) and
             the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) Planning Branch, Regulatory Functions Branch and.
             Project Operations Branch. The purpose of the agency coordination was to seek consensus for
             the design and encourage partnering for project implementation. There was general consensus
             for the design of the deep water habitat and its importance to the public benefit. However, final
             deposition of dredge materials is still being resolved.

             In addition, the ACOE has expressed interest in participating as a partner in the project. It has
             suggested that a formal letter requesting ACOE participation be submitted identifying two
             separate authorities. The most viable option for ACOE participation is under Section 206 of the
             Water Resources Development Act (October 1996). This is a new program called the Aquatic
             Ecosystem Restoration which may provide funding to improve the quality of the aquatic

            environment if the project is in the public interest. This project is strictly an aquatic ecosystem
            enhancement designed entirely for the benefit of the public trust. Participation by the ACOE
            would impact the project's estimate of probable construction costs.

            Analysis of the physical and chemical properties is critical in determining the final deposition of
            the dredge materials. Physical and chemical analysis of sediments within the project area is
            scheduled to occur after a permit pre-application meeting with the ACOE. The meeting will be
            held with the U. S. Army Corp. of Engineers Regulatory Functions Branch and Environmental
            Division to approve the proposed sampling frequency and methodology for the sediment
            analysis.

            Due to the above factors the final deposition of dredging materials has yet to determined.
            Agency coordination concerning this issue continues with Michigan Department of Natural
            Resources (MDNR), Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), and the U. S.
            Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE).

            The enclosed construction documents, technical specifications, estimate of probable costs and
            the draft permit application were prepared identifying that a portion of the dredge material would
            be placed adjacent to the deep water habitat for the creation of fish spawning and nursery
            habitat. During the review of the construction documents by the MDNR and the MDEQ, it was
            presented that the placement of dredge material onto the Detroit River bottom would not be
            acceptable by the State regardless of the sediment quality. The ACOE does not necessarily
            agree with this position. Resolution of this issue directly impacts the estimate of probable
            construction costs.


            Johnson Johnson & Roy/inc is committed to continue with the agency coordination to resolve
            the, outstanding issues and to assist the City of Detroit Recreation Department with the
            successful completion of this project. Please do not hesitate to call me with any questions
            regarding this matter.

            sincerely,

            SECTION I INTRODUCTION



            Belle Isle, a 982 acre island park located in the Detroit River, is the most heavily used park in
            the City of Detroit (Figures I and 2). For many of its eight million annual visitors, Belle Isle is
            the only opportunity to experience the natural environment of which they are a part.
            Recognizing the value of this unique resource, the City of Detroit is committed to maintaining
            and improving this island park as well as restoring basic recreational activities which have
            historically been part of the Belle Isle experience. This commitment to maintain, improve and
            restore Belle Isle has been exemplified in the completion of the Belle Isle Lakes and Canal
            Rehabilitation Project. This project involved the development and implementation of a
                prehensive, long-term management strategy to improve water quality, restore recreational
            activities (fishing and canoeing) and aesthetic character of the island's inland aquatic resource.
            com

            The determination to improve Belle Isle's unique recreational resources has been extended to
            areas along the island's shoreline, notably the areas contiguous with the two fishing piers
            situated on the north and south shoreline. The proposed enhancement of fishery habitat
            adjacent to the fishing piers serves a dual purpose, creating important feeding, refuge and
            spawning areas for fish and providing anglers increased opportunities for successful fishing
            experiences.

            The Fishety

            Belle Isle has the potential to provide an urban population unique access to an excellent
            fishery. Belle Isle is located near Lake St. Clair, widely recognized as one of the premier
            freshwater recreational fisheries in the continental United States. The Detroit River
            recreational fishery consists of more than 20 species of gamefish of warm, cool and cold water
            varieties. including smallmouth bass, muskellunge, northern pike, walleye, channel catfish,
            white bass and yellow perch. Several fish species including rainbow trout, lake trout, sturgeon
            and whitefish inhabit the Great Lakes and use the Detroit River as a migratory, spawning,
            forage and nursery habitat.

            The Problem


            Intensive commercial and industrial development along the Detroit River has rendered much of
            its fishery inaccessible to shore anglers. During the 1970's, two fishing piers were constructed
            on Belle Isle to provide urban anglers (primarily those who fish from the shore) public access to
            some of the finest fishing waters in the Midwest. The piers were to serve as readily accessible
            locations where anglers could partake in a fishing experience and enjoy the diverse
            recreational fishery offered by the Detroit River. Unfortunately, fishing success from the piers
            was poor. Consequently, anglers sought out more successful fishing opportunities at other
            locations along the shoreline with erratic and limited success. Strong currents existing at some
            of these locations cause anglers to use thicker fishing poles and larger weights. These are
            cumbersome for young anglers and reduce angler success when attempting to capture light-
            biting species such as walleye and yellow perch. Often anglers find fishing in such a large
            expanse of water without defined areas of structure intimidating and find it difficult to locate fish
            or"feel" fish habitat.

                      Vicinity Map
                     Belle Isle Piers Fishery Habitat Enhancement









             In seeking to provide anglers improved fishing success from the piers, the City of Detroit
             Recreation Department consulted with MDNR Fisheries Division personnel (Appendix D). As a
             result of these meetings, the City of Detroit Recreation Department concluded that to provide
             angler successful fishing experiences, fishery habitat around the piers must be improved.

             The Solution


             The decision to enhance fish habitat around the piers was the most prudent solution to
             improve the fishery and increase pier utilization. Upon review of existing information regarding
             habitat surrounding the piers, it became evident that the piers were constructed in two
             locations along the Belle Isle shoreline recognized as areas containing significant sediment
             deposition (Appendix A). These areas are quite shallow and exhibit little variation in river
             bottom elevation (Appendix A). In a freshwater riverine ecosystem, depositional areas are
             often deficient in habitat required to attract sufficient numbers of gamefish necessary for a
             successful recreational fishery. Lack of habitat such as deep water areas, submerged
             structures, and spawning and nursery habitat which typically constitute the foundation for a
             diverse recreational fishery resulted in poor gamefish populations near the piers. Construction
             of deep water areas and structure will attract larger numbers and sizes of gamefish.
             Furthermore, the structure would serve as a base for the development of a large community of
             mac roi nve rteb rates and forage fish upon which gamefish prey, and result in increased
             gamefish populations near the piers. The created habitat will be designed to be within reach of
             the average angler's cast (about 50 feet). This would allow anglers to locate fish holding
             habitat and increase their chances of catching fish.

             Enhancement of fishery habitat adjacent to the piers will produce recreational and
             environmental benefits. Recreational benefits include the following:

             0 concentrated fishing opportunities and associated pedestrian traffic in two locations;

             0 allows anglers to experience a Great Lakes fishery without the use of a boat or
               cumbersome, expensive equipment (i.e., "big water fishing with an inland water feel");

             0 allows shore anglers increased success in locating and catching fish;

             * increases public use of the fishery and the pier structures; and,

             0 establishes Belle Isle Piers as one of the elite public access locations of the Great Lakes
               similar to Grindstone City Pier, Frankfort Pier and Grand Haven Harbor Pier.

             Environmental benefits include the following:

             0 increased edge habitat for forage;

             0 increased area of refuge from current;

            0 increased winter refuge area;

            0 increase areas of spawning and nursery habitat; and,

            0   increased production and concentration of forage fish and macroi nve rteb rates.

            This is the only project of its kind to be proposed in United States waters of the Detroit River.
            The project addresses the need for improvement of aquatic habitats for fish populations within
            the Detroit River which have undergone degradation since the 1800's. It will also serve to
            improve the quality of recreational experience associated with this natural resource resulting in
            greater appreciation for the resource. Greater appreciation for natural resources leads to
            changes in attitudes regarding environmental issues that affect the river. Decisions to protect,
            preserve and enhance natural resources often originate with positive experiences in the use of
            the resource. Therefore, enhancement of the fishery habitat will lead to other projects to
            improve aquatic ecosystems within the river which, in turn, result in overall improvement to the
            Detroit River. The City of Detroit Recreation Department believes that improvement of this
            natural resource will result in considerable economic, educational and environmental benefits
            to the City of Detroit and communities along the Detroit River.

            SECTION 11 PROJECT DESCRIPTION


            The City of Detroit Recreation Department is proposing to enhance fishery habitat adjacent to
            the fishing piers (Inselruhe North Wharf and U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier) on Belle Isle.
            Belle Isle is a 982 acre island city park with seven miles of shoreline. During the 1970's the
            piers were constructed to provide readily accessible locations whereby urban anglers and their
            families could partake in a fishing experience more commonly found in inland lakes and
            streams, while enjoying the diverse recreational fishery offered by the Detroit River.
            Unfortunately, the fishing piers were constructed in areas deficient in the habitat (deep water
            areas, spawn in g1n ursery habitat, and submerged, structural habitat) necessary to attract
            sufficient numbers of gamefish needed to sustain a successful recreational fishery. Lack of
            deep water areas and submerged structures which typically support a diverse recreational
            fishery resulted in poor gamefish populations near the piers, A Fishery Habitat Enhancement
            Design has been developed to be implemented in a one year period and includes the following
            actions:


            1) dredge deep water areas;

            2)  create structural habitat and stabilize slopes of deep water areas with riprap and bedding
                stone;

            3)  create spawning/nursery habitat; and,

            4)  construct a riprap sediment deflector to preserve enhanced habitat.

           Agency Coordination

           The design concepts of the Fishery Habitat Enhancement Project were developed in
           cooperation with the City of Detroit Recreation Department and the Michigan Department of
           Natural Resources Fisheries Division (MDNR). The preferred alternatives were reviewed by
           the MDNR, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Land and Water Management
           Division (MDEQ).

           A visit was made to the Corps of Engineers, Detroit District on October 23, 1996. Two
           separate discussions took place; one with the Chief of Operations Technical Support and
           another with two members of the District's Planning Branch, including the Branch Chief, Mr.
           Dale Monteith. A brief description of the alternatives was presented to the Planning Branch
           meeting participants and an interest in participating in the project was expressed. A number of
           Corps of Engineers authorities were discussed which relate to environmental restoration that
           could allow for partnering in developing the Fishery Habitat Enhancement Project. A formal
           request to the Corps of Engineers for consideration and potential participation under either
           Section 206 of the Water Development Act (WRDA) of 1996, and/or Section 401 of the WRDA
           1990, would be the means to initiate Corps participation and determine the ability to secure
           Federal funds for technical assistance and/or implementation.

           The most viable option for Corps participation is under Section 206 of the Water Resources
           Development Act (October 1996). This is a new program called the Aquatic Ecosystem
           Restoration. It may provide funding to improve the quality of the environment if the project is in
           the public interest. Funding can be made available for feasibility study, design and
           construction with a 35 percent local match. This project is strictly an aquatic ecosystem
           enhancement entirely designed for the benefit of the public trust. The second authority is the
           Section 401 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1990 which may provide technical,
           planning and engineering assistance in the development and implementation of Remedial
           Action Plans for the Great Lakes Areas of concern. Participation by the ACOE would impact
           the project's estimate of probable construction costs.

           SECTION III DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES FOR FISHERY HABITAT
                         ENHANCEMENT


           U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier

           The Preferred Alternative for the U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier Fishery Habitat Enhancement
           contains three important elements. Deep water areas and areas of submerged structural
           habitat are two elements needed for attracting and concentrating gamefish near the piers. A
           sediment deflector is needed for the preservation of deep water areas and structural habitat
           from excessive sedimentation.


           Along the U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier, mean water depth averages 6 feet. Deep water
           habitat is proposed 20 feet off of the shore-side face of the pier. The deep water area
           adjacent to the U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier will consist of two oval shaped basins located
           between the Belle Isle shoreline and the section of the pier which parallels the shoreline
           (Figure 3). The combined areas will require approximately 7,400 cubic yards of dredging over a
           0.8 acre area.

            Basin I will require approximately 2,800 cubic yards of dredging to create a 0.3 acre area
            approximately 180 feet long , 92 feet wide and 15 feet deep. Side slopes are 4:1 on the
            shortest axis (Figure 4 ). Basin 2 will require approximately 4,600 cubic yards of dredging to
            create a 0.5 acre area approximately 180 feet long, 130 feet wide and 15 feet deep. Side
            slopes will be a minimum 4:1 on the shortest axis and 8:1 on the longest axis.

            Creation of structural habitat and stabilization of slopes of deep water areas will be conducted
            within the areas adjacent to the U.S. Coast Guard Pier (Figures 3 and 4). A total of 350 tons
            of bedding stone and 400 tons of will be placed along the slope of Basin 1. A total of 600 tons
            of bedding stone and 650 tons of riprap will be placed along the slope of Basin 2. In both
            basins, the toe of the stone will begin at the 84 foot river bottom elevation.

            A sediment deflector to protect deep water areas and submerged structural habitat from
            sediment deposition will be constructed within the areas adjacent to the U.S. Coast Guard
            Pier. The deflector will be constructed upstream and parallel to the section of the pier that
            extends perpendicular to the shoreline (Figure 4). The toe of the sediment deflector will be
            adjacent to the pier supports. A total of 350 tons of bedding stone and 1,500 tons of riprap will
            be used to create a sediment deflector approximately 130 feet long by 40 feet wide at the
            base. Side slopes will be 2:1. A crest approximately 5 feet wide and 95 feet long will extend 2
            feet above the surface of the water at elevation 96.0.


            Inselruhe North Wharf


            The Preferred Alternative for the Inselruhe North Wharf Fishery Habitat Enhancement was
            designed to encourage movement of gamefish from deep water areas, approximately 1,000
            feet offshore, to areas near the pier. The design consists of a simple channel extending the
            length of the pier and proceeding out to a depth of about 15 feet. Spawning and nursery
            habitat.consists of a series of mounds immediately downstream of the channel.

            In the areas adjacent to the Inselruhe North Wharf, mean water depth averages 6 feet. Deep
            water habitat is proposed 20 feet off of the downstream face of the pier (Figure 5). The
            proposed deep water habitat will require approximately 12,400 cubic yards of dredging to
            create a channel approximately 15 feet in depth, 960 feet long, 68 feet wide at the top and
            approximately 4 feet at the base. Side slopes will be a minimum of 4:1 (Figure 5). The
            channel will be aligned parallel to the pier until termination at the 81 foot river bottom elevation.

            Physical and Chemical Analysis of Sediments

            Physical and chemical analysis of sediments within the project area is scheduled to be
            completed prior to the Fishery Habitat Enhancement project. A pre-application meeting will be
            held with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory Functions Branch and Environmental
            Division to approve the proposed sampling frequency and methodology for the sediment-
            analysis. Analysis of the physical and chemical properties is critical in determining the final
            deposition of dredge materials. Several alternatives are currently being evaluated.

             Del2osition of Dredging Materials

             Final deposition of dredging materials has yet to determined. Agency coordination concerning
             this issue continues with Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), Michigan
             Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
             (ACOE).

             The construction documents, technical specifications and estimate of probable construction
             costs were prepared identifying that a portion of the dredge material would be placed adjacent
             to the deep water habitat for the creation of fish spawning and nursery habitat. During the
             review of the construction documents by the MDNR and the MDEQ, it was presented that the
             placement of dredge material onto the Detroit River bottom would not be acceptable by the
             State regardless of the sediment quality. The ACOE does not necessarily agree with this
             position. Resolution of this issue directly impacts the estimate of probable construction costs.
             In addition, the ACOE has expressed an interest in participating as a partner in the project
             (See Agency Coordination). The most viable option for ACOE participation is under Section
             206 of the Water Resources Development Act (October 1996). This is a new program called
             the Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration which may provide funding to improve the quality of the
             environment of this project. This too may impact final deposition of the dredge materials and
             probable costs.

             Specific locations are being explored for dredge disposal depending on sediment quality and
             resolution of regulatory issues. Shoreline areas along Belle Isle have been identified as
             seriously eroding. If physical properties are appropriate, a portion of the material will be used
             to stabilize severely eroding areas along the Belle Isle shoreline. Three picnic areas on Belle
             Isle have flooding problems where fill would be suitable. If ACOE partners on the project,
             other opportunities may be presented. Suitability of the material is contingent upon results of
             chemical and physical analysis of sediments to be performed prior to the construction of the
             Fishery Habitat Enhancement Project. The final disposition of the dredge materials will be
             determined during the permitting process.

             Summa[y of Proposed Actions

             As part of the enhancement of fishery habitat adjacent to the existing fishing piers on Belle
             Isle, the City of Detroit Recreation Program is proposing to dredge deep water areas along the
             Inselruhe North Wharf and the U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier, stabilize slopes along the deep
             water areas adjacent to the U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Piers, allow slope stabilization material
             to serve as areas of submerged refuge for fish and macroinvertebrates, and construct a riprap
             sediment deflector to preserve enhanced fishery habitat.

            SECTION IV DESCRIPTION OF CONCEPTUAL ALTERNATIVES FOR FISHERY HABITAT
                          ENHANCEMENT

            Conceptual alternatives for the the U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier and linselruhe North Wharf
            Fishery Habitat Enhancements are presented in Figures 7, 8 and 10, respectively. The
            alternatives are modifications of the original conceptual designs submitted by MDNR Fisheries
            Division personnel (Figures 6 and 9).

            U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier Fishe!y Habitat Enhancement Conceptual Alternatives

            Alternative A


            This alternative is the original conceptual design developed by MDNR Fisheries Division
            personnel (Figure 6). The design consists of dredging a continuous area of undulating deep
            water habitat. The majority of the deep water area is confined to the area between the
            shoreline and the arm of the pier that parallels the shoreline. A portion of deep water area
            extends the length of the arm and approximately 75 feet outside of the pier into the Detroit
            River. Alternative A was modified for the following reasons:
            *  successful fishery enhancement'could be achieved with a reduced deep water area.

            0  dredging to depths ranging from 12 to 13 feet abutting the base of the pier supports may
               impair the structural integrity of the pier.

            0  design constraints posed by the bottom substrate composition prevent construction of the
               proposed steep side slopes. A minimum 4:1 slope is assumed to be necessary for creation
               of stable side slopes within this section of the Detroit River.


            Alternative B


            This alternative consists of a continuous channel with moderate expansion of deep water
            areas situated at 50 foot intervals along its course (Figure 7). The fishery enhancement
            extends the length of the arm of the pier that parallels the shoreline and is located 20 feet
            away from the pier supports. The deep water areas are approximately 75 feet long and 30 feet
            wide to a maximum depth of 15 feet. The channel is 10 feet wide and 15 feet deep.
            Alternating areas of riprap serve to stabilize the channel and function as fishery, refuge and
            spawning habitat. Dredge spoil is to be placed in mounds along channel for increased habitat
            diversity. The majority of the enhancement is confined to the area between the shoreline and
            the arm of the pier that parallels the shoreline. A portion of deep water area extends the-
            length of the arm and approximately 25 feet outside of the pier into the Detroit River.
            Alternative B was modified for the following reasons:

               Design constraints posed by the bottom substrate composition prevent construction of the
               proposed (nearly vertical within the channel) side slopes. A minimum 4:1 slope is assumed
               to be necessary for creation of stable side slopes within this section of the Detroit River.

      Conceptual Design for Proposed Fishery Habitat along Inselruhe North Wharf - Structural Habitat
      Belle Isle Piers Fishery Habitat Enhancement









                 The design does not include a structure to prevent sediment from upstream sources being
                 deposited into dredged areas.

              Alternative C


              This alternative consists of two roughly oval shaped basins (Figure 8). The basins are
              approximately 180 feet long and 100 feet wide to a maximum depth of 15 feet. Riprap is
              placed within the basin on upstream slopes and slopes near the pier. A semi-circular sediment
              deflector is placed 25 feet upstream of each basin to protect the basin from sedimentation.
              Brush bundles (bundles of native brush bound together and anchored to the bottom) serve as
              refuge and forage areas for gamefish. The bundles are placed on the basin slopes facing the
              pier within reach of the average angler's cast (50 feet). A portion of one basin extends
              approximately 30 feet outside of the pier into the Detroit River. Alternative C was modified for
              the following reasons:

              0  Brush bundles are designed for lemnetic systems and will not remain stationary in areas
                 with velocities evident in this section of the river.


              0  Sediment deposition protection can be achieved with less stone placed in a location better
                 suited for sediment deflection.


              Inselruhe North Wharf Fishety Habitat Enhancement Conceptual Alternatives

              Alternative A


              This alternative is the original conceptual design developed by a MDNR Fisheries Division
              personnel (Figure 9). The design consists of a two basins and a channel located 15 feet
              downstream of the wharf. The basin nearest to the shoreline is oval shaped, 50 wide, 75 feet
              long and 12 feet deep. The other basin is circular and is about 40 feet by 40 feet and 12 feet
              deep. The channel is 50 feet wide and approximately 1,000 feet long to a maximum depth of
              15 feet. The channel is aligned parallel to the wharf and is designed to intersect with the 15
              foot depth contour within the Detroit River channel. The channel will serve to attract larger fish
              inhabiting deep water in the river to areas near the wharf. Alternative A was modified for the
              following reasons:

              ï¿½  Enhancements to the fishery by the addition of isolated basins and channel would be
                 negligible compared to the design of a single channel.

              ï¿½  A 20 foot buffer should be maintained between the dredging and pier supports.

              0  Design constraints posed by the bottom substrate composition prevent construction          of the
                 proposed (nearly vertical) side slopes. A minimum 4:1 slope is assumed to be necessary
                 for creation of stable side slopes within this section of the Detroit River.

              Alternative B


              This alternative consists of a mildly undulating channel with moderate expansion of two deep
              water areas (Figure 10). The channel is located 20 feet downstream of the wharf and is 10
              feet wide and approximately 1,000 feet long, to a maximum depth of 15 feet. The channel is

           aligned parallel to the wharf and is designed to intersect with the 15 foot depth contour within
           the Detroit River channel. The deep water areas are 30 feet wide, 80 feet long and 15 feet
           deep. Alternating areas of riprap serve to stabilize the channel and function as refuge and
           spawning habitat. Dredge spoil is to be placed in mounds along the channel for increased
           habitat diversity. Alternative B was modified for the following reason:

               Design constraints posed by the bottom substrate composition prevent construction of the
               proposed side slopes (nearly vertical within the channel). A minimum 4:1 slope is assumed
               to be necessary for creation of stable side slopes within this section of the Detroit River.

           SECTION V DISCUSSION OF PIER ENHANCEMENTS

           The City of Detroit Recreation Department has taken a major step towards accomplishing its
           goal of providing citizens of Detroit increased opportunity for successful fishing experiences on
           Belle Isle. Once the implementation of the Fishery Habitat Enhancement project is complete,
           The City of Detroit Recreation Department will address the need to attract gamefish to the
           areas near the piers. Structural enhancements to the piers are the next step towards
           accomplishment of the aforementioned goal.

           Seeking to provide anglers improved fishing success from the piers, the City of Detroit
           Recreation Department conducted field observations, angler interviews (Appendix C), and
           consulted with MDNR Fisheries Division personnel (Appendix D). As a result of these efforts,
           the City of Detroit Recreation Department concluded that to provide anglers successful fishing
           experiences, structural enhancements to the piers must be performed. The enhancements
           would address the following shortcomings at the U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier and Inselruhe
           North Wharf:


                  No shade
                  No benches
              0   Piers dead end, no outlet
                  Existing railings are unsafe for small children
                  Anglers are very high up off of the water, making landing of fish difficult

           Suggested enhancements include:

              0   20 feet of shade every 100 feet along the arm of the pier that parallels the shore

              0   Installing several wooden benches on the U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier

              0   Connecting the U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier to Belle Isle by a second pier adjoining
                  the existing pier in a perpendicular fashion. This would serve as a solution to the_
                  existing "dead end" design.

                  Adding wire mesh or screening to the lower sections of the railing to prevent children
                  from falling through open spaces between the railing guards.

                    Adding fishing platforms off of the side of the piers at certain intervals . These will
                    serve to allow anglers closer access to the water. Platforms should extend far enough
                    away from the pier to allow anglers to cast. Also one platform should be designed to
                    meet ADA requirements and include a hinged gate that would restrict use to disabled
                    users.


            Conceptual plans to address structural shortcomings of the piers are presented in Figures 11 -
            18.


            U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier Enhancement

            Conceptual plans concerning enhancement of the U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier are fairly
            extensive and address the need for improved public access, success of fish capture, comfort
            and safety.

            Public Access


            Enhancements would include construction of a second connection between the pier and Belle
            Isle (Figures 11 and 12). This connection would increase access to the enhanced fishery
            habitat and provide anglers a second location for entry or exit. Furthermore, non-anglers are
            expected to use the pier to view the Detroit River and passing ships and freighters. Two
            configurations for the addition are presented. The pier addition that would attach to the center
            of the pier section oriented parallel to the Belle Isle shoreline is the preferred arrangement
            (Figure 11). This section allows for maximum use of the proposed fishery habitat
            enhancement shown in Figure 3. The alternative configuration will require a longer section to
            be constructed and will be the most costly option (Figure 12).

            Fish Capture

            The addition of fishing platforms or use of lift nets are designed to increase the chance of
            successfully landing fish (Figures 13 - 15). Fishing platforms are permanent structures
            attached to the existing pier (Figures 13 and 14). They are designed to be raised or lowered
            based on the Detroit River surface water elevation. Platforms are designed to accommodate
            two anglers and fishing gear. An ADA access platform is provided within the first 100 to 200
            feet from the pier entrance (Figure 14). The City of Detroit Recreation Department has
            developed general guidelines for the platforms including platforms should be maintenance free
            and able to be raised and lowered to accommodate fluctuations in Detroit River surface water
            elevation. Lift nets are considered an alternative to fishing platforms (Figure 15). Lift nets are
            commonly used to assist anglers who utilize piers along the Atlantic Coast. Lift nets are
            attached to the pier and allowed to remain in the water directly below the angler while fishing.
            Once a fish is hooked the angler guides the fish into the net, which is then lifted up onto the
            pier. Nets could be provided free of charge or rented to cover the cost of replacing worn-nets.

            Safejy

            Installation of wire screening in the spaces between the lower guard rail and the floor of the
            pier would prevent small children from accidentally falling from the pier into the River (Figure
            13). A wooden canopy would provide shade and a respite from the dangers of overexposure
            to the sun.

           Comfort


           A wooden canopy would provide anglers shade (Figure 13). This addition would increase
           utilization of the piers by anglers and non-anglers. It is anticipated that this structure would
           'mprove the recreational experience of the piers associated with fishing and ship watching.

           Inselruhe North Wharf Enhancements

           Excluding reconnection of the Inselruhe North Wharf to the Island, conceptual enhancements
           for this pier would be identical to those proposed for the U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier
           (Figures 17 and 18).

            ENHANCEMENT



            NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CONSTRUCTION COSTS

            1      The cost estimate is based on typical water-based construction in the Detroit area, using
                   1996 costs.

            2.     Mobilization and demobilization are based on a local contractor 'within the Southeastern
                   Michigan region.

            3.     Contractor field engineering includes the layout, soundings and survey requir ed for the
                   proper implementation of the work. Also included is any quality control requirements as
                   indicated in the technical specifications which form a part of the contract documents.

            4.     Dredging unit costs are based on the contractor sidecasting the material outside of the
                   influence area of the river and current within the project area. No material removal,
                   including loading on barges and transporting to areas for disposal outside the project
                   area, has been included. This item will be subject to the requirements of the U.S. Army
                   Corps. of Engineers, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, the U.S. Fish
                   and Wildlife Service and the Environmental Protection Agency.

            5.     Temporary erosion control includes measures required to minimize the amount of
                   suspended material transportation outside the project area.

            6.     Temporary navigational aids includes buoys, day lights and signs, and night time lighting
                   and warning devices required to ensure the safety of recreational and commercial
                   watercraft within the project area during the implementation of the work, as well as
                   mobilization and demobilization operations.

            7.     Unit prices for bedding and riprap stone are based on minimum material handling and
                   no site stockpiling of the materials. Transportation to the site by barge is assumed with
                   lightening barges used, if required.

            8.     Stone placement and riprap construction is not intended to be a structural design. The
                   placement of these materials is for the purposes of minimizing the amount of erosion
                   and transportation of the riverbed material into the habitat areas. These riprap areas will
                   settle and move with current, water fluctuation, ice movement and sand accumulation.

            9.     The owner's testing agent item includes the survey, testing and verifications required to
                   satisfy the owner that all construction operations are being implemented within the
                   requirements of the construction documents and permits pertaining to the work.

            10.    The undeveloped design details item is intended to cover unknown conditions that may
                   arise during the construction operations. As with all water based construction,
                   specifically with below water work, unknown conditions can arise which may result in
                   additional costs to properly implement the work. There is no way to anticipate these
                   conditions, and the inclusion of this line item is strongly recommended to be included in
                   the project budgeting process.

               project number.                 17878.00

               location:                       Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan

               date:                           26 April 1996

               The purpose of this field visit was twofold: firstly, to identify alternatives for fishery habitat
               improvement, and examine the existing structure and fishery habitat surrounding the Inselruhe
               North Wharf and the US Coast Guard Pier; and, secondly, to support the function presented by
               Earth Tomorrow at the Nature Center and present alternative locations for Earth Tomorrow's
               wetiand restoration project.

               Weather


               The day was windy and cool (about 45 to 500 F) with brief showers amid periods of sunshine.
               In the Detroit River, whitecap waves proceeded in a northeast direction. The water was fairly
               turbid with visibility of about 1 foot.

               Inselruhe North Wharf


               The existing structure is approximately 6 feet above the surface of the river and is quite sterile
               in appearance. It functions as an observation deck rather than a fishing wharf. Upstream of
               the wharf, the water is shallow, and sand and debris form a point extending approximately 20
               feet from the bank. Downstream of the wharf, the water is deeper and the steep bank is
               armored with slabs of concrete armor stone and rebar. The wire-like rebar projecting from the
               armor stone bank at various intervals may be injurious to the unwary angler, and could-interfere
               with successful landing offish. Extending out from the downstream bank, about 100 feet from
               the wharf, appears to be remnants of an old boat dock consisting of approximately eight
               wooden pilings.

             Criteria For Fishe!y habitat Improvement

             The fishery would benefit from habitat improvements that accomplish several goals: 1) attract
             forage (i.e., minnows, crayfish and aquatic insects) for sport fish; 2) provide areas of refuge
             from current for large fish or migratory fish species; 3) provide areas for spawning of adult fish;
             and, 4) provide anglers with the opportunity for exploitation of the fishery.

             Any habitat improvements must be able persist and function in conditions that occur in the
             Detroit River including high fluid velocities, wave action, ice scour, zebra mussel infestation and
             sand accretion.


             Angler Interview

             I spoke to one angler who was putting away his fishing tackle as I approached the wharf. He
             stated that he does not f ish f rom the wharf itself, but he does f ish f rom the bank downstream of
             the wharf. He stated that the majority of people fish from the shore and the catch consists of
             rock bass, pike (17 - 20 inches) and an occasional walleye. He said that local anglers
             designate the area "Pike City". He had not caught anything, but weeds, and the weeds are
             beginning to grow out into deeper water. He said that anglers catch small perch and pike off of
             the downstream face of the wharf, but must run off the wharf and land the pike from shore. I -
             asked him what would he like to see done to improve the wharf. He said "a fresh coat of white
             or light blue paint, rod holders and a way to get closer to the water to make landing fish easier".
             He did not think benches would be needed because most people bring their own folding chairs.

             Coast Guard Pier


             In contrast to the Inselruhe North Wharf, the Coast Guard Pier is more inviting. This is due to
             increased visibility from the road resulting from the parallel orientation of the pier to the bank for
             the majority of its length. The womanized wood also gives it a soft, warm appearance.
             However, the pier is too high up and away from the water to provide successful landing of large
             fish with light line. The water on the inside bend of the pier is shallow and can be very weedy in
             the summer, but this area provides a unique opportunity to provide an improved fishery habitat
             structure for pier and bank anglers.

             Criteria for Fishe!)@ habitat Improvement

             The fishery would benefit from habitat improvements that accomplish several goals: 1)-attract
             forage for sport fish (i.e., minnows, crayfish and aquatic insects); 2) provide areas of refuge
             from current for large fish or migratory fish species; 3) provide areas for spawning of adult fish;
             and, 4) provide anglers with the opportunity for successful capture of fish.

             Any habitat improvements must be able persist and function in conditions that occur in the
             Detroit River including wave action, zebra mussel infestation and sand accretion. If habitat was
             created on the inside of the bend, smaller materials would be needed for structure, because the

           pier itself serves to reduce wave action, break up current and prevent major ice scour. Also
           bank anglers would benefit from deep water habitat within casting distance. I believe this area
           may be able to sustain crappies, bluegill, largemouth bass and channel caff ish if the proper
           structure and depth is provided. I have provided a rough illustration of one alternative.

           Earth Tomorrow


           I attended the Wading Into Wetlands function until lunch. I spoke to Susan Campbell, director
           of the Nature Center, Tim Eder and Carey Rogers about alternative locations for wetland
           restoration. Tim Eder and Susan Campbell were uneasy about selecting other locations until
           they received more information from the Department of Recreation. I believe that they favored
           the area behind the Nature Center. Carey was more receptive to alternative locations such as
           the Blue Heron Lagoon or the small wetland next to the Nature Center. Susan thought that the
           City had plans for the location at Blue Heron Lagoon. The overall sentiment was that they
           would like to restore the area behind the Nature Center if the facility and its functions are to
           remain intact. I encouraged them to examine and consider other locations.

                CONFERENCE REPORT


                project name:       Belle Isle Piers/CZM

                project number      17878.00

                location:           MDNR Offices, Livonia, Michigan

                date:               10 July 1996

                participants:       Gary Towns, Ron Spitler - MDNR
                                    Douglas Denison, Gary Crawford - JJR


                0. Crawford and D. Denison met with MDNR fishery biologists G. Towns and R. Spitler to
                develop a conceptual design for the improvement of fish habitat located near the Inselruhe
                North Wharf and U.S. Coast Guard Pier on Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan.. Several items were
                discussed during the meeting including: 1) structural improvements to the piers; 2) creation and
                location of deep water habitat near piers; and, 3) fish stocking program for the inland waterways
                of Belle Isle.


                Upon review of City of Detroit engineering schematics and a survey of the U.S. Coast Guard
                Piers, G. Towns, R. Spitler and D. Denison began to make suggestions regarding structural
                improvements of the pier. These improvements were directed at the structural shortcomings
                that prohibit angler use.

                Structural Improvements

                The shortcomings were identified as:


                         No shade
                   0     No benches
                   0     Pier dead ends, no outlet
                   0     Existing railings are unsafe for small children
                   0     Anglers are too high up off of the water

                 A survey of the depth and substrate must be provided prior to construction of deep
                 water habitat. The survey should occur from the edge of the pier to a distance of 60 feet
                 on both sides of the pier.

           Inselruhe North Wharf


                 Dredging of a 50 foot wide channel along the length of the pier. Maximum depth of the
                 channel is 15 feet. The channel traverses parallel to the downstream side of the pier
                 and ends in water from 15 to 20 feet deep.

              9  A survey of the depth and substrate must be provided prior to construction of deep
                 water habitat. The survey should occur from the edge of the pier to a distance of 60 feet
                 on both sides of the pier.

              0  Because this area has been identified by RAP as a location for conservation of wetlands
                 within the Detroit River, there may be opposition to creation of deep water habitat within
                 this area.


              0  Placement of dredge spoil and permitting through U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are
                 challenges to the completion of the project.

           Fish Stocking in Lakes and Canals

           A fish stocking program for the Belle Isle inland waterway was discussed. MDNR personnel
           stated the following:

              ï¿½  Channel catfish and/or largernouth bass could be planted; however, the channel catfish
                 fishery would have to be planted annually because the fishery would not be sustained
                 through natural reproduction.

              ï¿½  Because largemouth bass are highly successful predators of juvenile channel catfish,
                 only large channel catfish (8 to 10 inches) would be stocked in combination with
                 largemouth bass.

              0  To ensure the success of the fish stocking program, planting of fish will not occur until a
                 certain level of water quality within the canals and lakes has been reached.

          Suggested improvements are:

              ï¿½  Twenty feet of shade every 100 feet along the arm of the pier paralleling the shoreline
              ï¿½  Installation of several wooden benches
                 Connection of the pier to the mainland by a second pier adjoining the existing pier in a
                 perpendicular fashion. This would serve as a solution to the existing "dead end" design.

              0  The addition of wire mesh or screening to the lower sections of the railing to prevent
                 children from falling through open spaces between the railing guards.

              0  The addition of fishing platforms off of the side of the pier at certain intervals . These
                 will allow anglers closer access to the water. Platforms should extend far enough away
                 from the pier to allow anglers to cast. Also, one platform should be designed to meet
                 ADA requirements and include a hinged gate that would restrict use to handicapped
                 users.


          Similar improvements are required for the Inselruhe North Wharf, except for reconnection to the
          mainland.


          Conceptual Deaj=

          Conceptual designs for the creation of deep water habitat around the piers were formulated.
          Design specifics for the deep water habitat are as follow:

          US Coast Guard Fishing Pier

                 Dredging of an undulating channel along the length of the pier. The channel traverses
                 parallel to the inside of the pier for approximately 578 linear feet.

              ï¿½  The channel turns 90 degrees away from the mainland and ends perpendicular to, and
                 past, the end of the pier.

              ï¿½  The channel should be within the reach of an angler's cast (no more than 50 feet from
                 the pier). Channel depth should reach a maximum of 15 feet from surface to bottom.

              ï¿½  Dredge spoil can be deposited at various locations along the edge of the channel to
                 provide a variety of relief which will attract fish and assist anglers in develop a feet for
                 the structure.


                 Rubble and cobblestone may be placed along the channel or along the mounds of
                 dredge spoil to attract smallmouth bass and walleye and forage fish.

                project number        17878.00

                date.                 18 October 1996


                participants:         Ron Spitler - MDNR
                                      Douglas Denison, Gary Crawford - JJR


                G. Crawford and D. Denison met with MDNR fishery biologist R. Spitler to review final
                construction designs for the enhancement of fish habitat located near the Inselruhe North Wharf
                and U.S. Coast Guard Pier on Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan. The meeting was held at the office
                of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Quality, Livonia,
                Michigan.

                R. Spitler concurred with the enhancements to fishery habitat indicated by the construction
                design, but suggested that we consider alternative sites for disposal of dredge material.

                Our summarization of this conference is transcribed above. Please notify the writer within five
                (5) business days of this transcription of any disagreement as the foregoing becomes part of
                the project record and is the basis upon which we will proceed.

                Respectfully submitted,

                   4.      PROJECT INFORMATION
                   4.(a)   Description of proposed activity.

                   The City of Detroit Recreation Department is proposing to enhance fishery habitat adjacent to the
                   fishing piers (Inselruhe North Wharf and US Coast Guard Fishing Pier) on Belle Isle (Sheets 1
                   and 2). Belle Isle is a 982 acre island city park with seven miles of shoreline. During the 1970's
                   the piers were constructed to provide readily accessible locations whereby urban anglers could
                   enjoy the diverse recreational fishery offered by the Detroit River. Unfortunately, the fishing piers
                   were constructed in areas deficient in the habitat (deep water areas, spawn ing/n u rsery habitat,
                   and submerged, structural habitat) necessary to attract sufficient numbers of gamefish needed to
                   develop a successful recreational fishery. Lack of deep water areas and submerged structures
                   which typically support a diverse recreational fishery, resulted in poor gamefish populations near
                   the piers. A Fishery Habitat Enhancement Design has been developed to be implemented in a
                   one year period which includes the following actions:

                   1) Dredge deep water areas;

                   2) Create structural habitat and stabilize slopes of deep water areas with riprap and bedding
                       stone; and

                   3) Construction of a riprap sediment deflector to preserve enhanced habitat.

                   Agency Coordination

                   The design concepts of the Fishery Habitat Enhancement Project were developed in
                   cooperation with the City of Detroit Recreation Department and the Michigan
                   Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Division (MDNR). The preferred
                   alternatives were reviewed by the MDNR, Michigan Department of Environmental
                   Quality Land and Water Management Division (MDEQ).

                   A visit was made to the Corps of Engineers, Detroit District on October 23, 1996. Two
                   separate discussions took place; one with the Chief of Operations Technical Support
                   and another with two members of the District's Planning Branch, including the Branch
                   Chief, Mr. Dale Monteith. A brief description of the alternatives was presented to the
                   Planning Branch meeting participants and an interest in participating in the project was
                   expressed. A number of Corps of Engineers authorities were discussed which relate to
                   environmental restoration that could allow for partnering in developing the Fishery
                   Habitat Enhancement Project. A formal request to the Corps of Engineers for
                   consideration and potential participation under either Section 206 of the Water
                   Development Act (WRDA) of 1996, and/or Section 401 of the WRDA 1990, would be
                   the means to initiate Corps participation and determine the ability to secure Federal
                   funds for technical assistance and/or implementation.

                   The most viable option for Corps participation is under Section 206 of the Water
                   Resources Development Act (October 1996). This is a new program called the Aquatic
                   Ecosystem Restoration. It may provide funding to improve the quality of the
                   environment it the project is in the public interest. Funding can be made available for
                   feasibility study, design and construction with a 35 percent local match. This project is
                   strictly an aquatic ecosystem enhancement entirely designed for the benefit of the
                   public trust. The second authority is the Section 401 of the Water Resources
                   Development Act of 1990 which may provide technical, planning and engineering










                   assistance in the development and implementation of Remedial Action Plans for the
                   Great Lakes Areas of concern. Participation by the ACOE would impact the project's
                   estimate of probable construction costs.

                   Dredging of Deep Water Areas

                   Dredging of deep water areas is proposed for the areas adjacent to the US Coast Guard Fishing
                   Pier and the Inselruhe North Wharf (See Sheets 3, 4 and 5, respectively).

                   Along the US Coast Guard Fishing Pier mean water depth averages 6 feet. Deep water habitat
                   is proposed 20 feet off of the shore-side face of the pier. Deep water area adjacent to the US
                   Coast Guard Fishing Pier will consist of two oval shaped basins located between the Belle Isle
                   shoreline and the section of the pier which parallels the shoreline (Sheet 3). The combined areas
                   will require approximately 7,400 cubic yards of dredging over a 0.8 acre area. Basin 1 will require
                   approximately 2800 cubic yards of dredging to create a 0.3 acre area approximately 180 feet long
                   , 92 feet wide, 15 feet deep. Side slopes are 4:1 on the shortest axis (Sheet 4). Basin 2 will
                   require approximately 4600 cubic yards of dredging to create a 0.5 acre area, approximately 180
                   feet long , 130 feet wide, 15 feet deep. Side slopes will be a minimum 4:1 on the shortest axis
                   and 8:1 on the longest axis (Sheet 4)..

                   In the areas adjacent to the Inselruhe North Wharf mean water depth averages 6 feet. Deep
                   water habitat is proposed 20 feet off of the downstream face of the pier (Sheet 5). The proposed
                   deep water habitat will require approximately 12,400 cubic yards of dredging to create a channel
                   approximately 15 feet in depth, 960 feet long, 68 feet wide at the top and approximately 4 feet at
                   the base. Side slopes will be a minimum of 4:1 (Sheet 5). The channel will be aligned parallel to
                   the pier until termination at the 81.0 foot river bottom elevation.

                   Creation of Structural Habitat and Slope Stabili7=ation

                   Creation of structural habitat and stabilization of slopes of deep water areas will be conducted
                   within the areas adjacent to the US Coast Guard Pier (Sheets 3 and 4). A total of 350 tons of
                   bedding stone and 400 tons of will be placed along the slope of Basin 1 (Sheets 3 and 4). A
                   total of 600 tons of bedding stone and 650 tons of riprap will be placed along the slope of Basin
                   2 (Sheets 3 and 4). In both basins the toe of the stone will begin at the 84 foot river bottom
                   elevation.


                   Sediment Deflector Construction


                   A sediment deflector (a graded riprap berm) to protect deep water areas and submerged
                   structural habitat from sediment deposition, will be constructed within the areas adjacent to the
                   US Coast Guard Pier (Sheets 3 and 4). The deflector will be constructed upstream and parallel
                   to the section of the pier that extends perpendicular to the shoreline (Sheets 3 and 4). The toe of
                   the sediment deflector will be adjacent to the pier supports. A total of 350 tons of bedding stone
                   and 1500 tons of riprap will be used to create a sediment deflector approximately 130 feet long
                   by 40 feet wide at the base (Sheets 3 and 4). Side slopes will be 2:1 (Sheet 4).. A crest
                   approximately 5 feet wide and 95 feet long will extend 2 feet above current the surface of the
                   water, at elevation 96.0 (Sheet 4)..










                                                                    2









                 Physical and Chemical Analysis of Sediments

                 Physical and chemical analysis of sediments within the project area is scheduled to be
                 completed prior to the Fishery Habitat Enhancement project. A pre-application meeting
                 will be held with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory Functions Branch and
                 Environmental Division to approve the proposed sampling frequency and methodology
                 for the sediment analysis. Analysis of the physical and chemical properties is critical in
                 determining the final deposition of dredge materials. Several alternatives are currently
                 being evaluated.

                 Deposition of Dredging Material

                 Final deposition of dredging materials has yet to determined. Agency coordination
                 concerning this issue continues with Michigan Department of Natural Resources
                 (MDNR), Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), and the U. S. Army
                 Corps of Engineers (ACOE).

                 The construction documents, technical specifications and estimate of probable
                 construction costs were prepared identifying that a portion of the dredge material would
                 be placed adjacent to the deep water habitat for the creation of fish spawning and
                 nursery habitat. During the review of the construction documents by the MDNR and the
                 MDEQ, it was presented that the placement of dredge material onto the Detroit River
                 bottom would not be acceptable by the State regardless of the sediment quality. The
                 ACOE does not necessarily agree with this position. Resolution of this issue directly
                 impacts the estimate of probable construction costs. In addition, the ACOE has
                 expressed an interest in participating as a partner in the project (See Agency
                 Coordination). The most viable option for ACOE participation is under Section 206 of
                 the Water Resources Development Act (October 1996). This is a new program called
                 the Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration which may provide funding to improve the quality of
                 the environment of this project. This too may impact final deposition of the dredge
                 materials and probable costs.

                 Specific locations are being explored for dredge disposal depending on sediment
                 quality and resolution of regulatory issues. Shoreline areas along Belle Isle have been
                 identified as seriously eroding. If physical properties are appropriate, a portion of the
                 material will be used to stabilize severely eroding areas along the Belle Isle shoreline.
                 Three picnic areas on Belle Isle have flooding problems where fill would be suitable. If
                 ACOE partners on the project, other opportunities may be presented. Suitability of the
                 material is contingent upon results of chemical and physical analysis of sediments to be
                 performed prior to the construction of the Fishery Habitat Enhancement Project. The
                 final disposition of the dredge materials will be determined during the permitting
                 process.

                 Summary of Proposed Actions

                 As part of the enhancement of fishery habitat adjacent to the existing fishing piers on
                 Belle Isle, the City of Detroit Recreation Program is proposing to dredge deep water
                 areas along the Inselruhe North Wharf and the U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Pier, stabilize
                 slopes along the deep water areas adjacent to the U.S. Coast Guard Fishing Piers,
                 allow slope stabilization material to serve as areas of submerged refuge for fish and

                    4.(g)   Describe any project alternatives

                    Conceptual alternatives for the Inselruhe North Wharf and US Coast Guard Fishing Pier Fishery
                    Habitat Enhancements are presented in Sheets 7, 8, and 10, respectively. The alternatives are
                    modifications of original conceptual designs submitted by MDNR Fisheries Division personnel
                    (Sheets 6 and 9). Preferred alternatives for the Inselruhe North Wharf and the US Coast Guard
                    Fishing Pier Fishery Habitat Enhancements are presented in Sheets 6,7 and 10 respectively.

                    US Coast Guard Fishing Pier Fishery Habitat Enhancement Conceptual Alternatives

                    Alternative A
                    This alternative is the original conceptual design developed by a MDNR Fisheries Division
                    personnel (See Sheet 6). The design consists of dredging a continuous area of undulating deep
                    water habitat. The majority of the deep water area is confined to the area between the shoreline
                    and the arm of the pier that parallels the shoreline. A portion of deep water area extends the
                    length of the arm and approximately 75 feet outside of the pier into the Detroit River. Alternative
                    A was modified for the following reasons:

                    0   Successful fishery enhancement could be achieved with a reduced deep water area.

                    0   Dredging to depths ranging from 12 to 13 feet abutting the base of the pier supports may
                        impair structural integrity of the pier.

                    -   Design constraints posed by the bottom substrate composition prevent construction of steep
                        side slopes. A minimum slope of 4 to 1 is assumed to be necessary for creation of stable
                        side slopes within this section of the Detroit River.

                    Alternative B
                    This alternative consists of a continuous channel with moderate expansion of deep water areas
                    situated at 50 foot intervals along its course (See Sheet 7). The fishery enhancement extends
                    the length of the arm of the pier that parallels the shoreline and is located 20 feet away from the
                    pier supports. The deep water areas are approximately 75 feet long, 30 feet wide to a maximum
                    depth of 15 feet deep. The channel is 10 feet wide and 15 feet deep.      Alternating areas of riprap
                    serve to stabilize the channel and function as fishery, refuge and spawning habitat. Dredge spoil
                    is to be placed in mounds along channel for increased habitat diversity. The majority of the
                    enhancement is confined to the area between the shoreline and the arm of the pier that parallels
                    the shoreline. A portion of deep water area extends the length of the arm and approximately 25
                    feet outside of the pier into the Detroit River. Alternative B was modified for the following
                    reasons:


                    0   Design constraints posed by the bottom substrate composition prevent construction of the
                        proposed (nearly vertical within the channel) side slopes. A minimum slope of 4 to 1 is
                        assumed to be necessary for creation of stable side slopes within this section of the Detroit
                        River.


                    0   The design does not include a structure to prevent sediment from upstream sources being
                        deposited into dredged areas.

                    Alternative C
                    This alternative consists of two roughly, oval shaped basins (See Sheet 8). The basins are
                    approximately 180 feet long, 100 feet wide to a maximum depth of 15 feet deep. Riprap is placed
                    within the basin on upstream slopes and slopes near the pier. A semi-circular sediment deflector
                    is placed 25 fee, upstream of each basin to protect the basin from sedimentation. Brush bundles



                                                                       5










                  (bundles of native brush bound together and anchored to the bottom) serve as refuge and forage
                  areas for gamefish. The bundles are placed on the basin slopes facing the pier within reach of
                  the average anglers cast (50 feet). A portion of one basin extends approximately 30 feet outside
                  of the pier into the Detroit River. Alternative C was modified for the following reasons:

                  *    Brush bundles are designed for lemnetic systems and will not persist in areas with velocities
                       evident in this section of the river.


                  0    Sediment deposition protection can be achieved with less stone placed in a location better
                       suited for sediment deflection.


                  Preferred Alternative: See 4.(a) Description of proposed activity and Sheets 3 and 4.

                  Inselruhe North Wharf Fishery Habitat Enhancement Conceptual Alternatives

                  Alternative A
                  This alternative is the original conceptual design developed by a MDNR Fisheries Division
                  personnel (See Sheet 9). The design consists of a two basins and a channel located 15 feet
                  downstream of the wharf. The basin nearest to the shoreline is oval shaped, 50 wide, 75 feet
                  long and 12 feet deep. The other basin is circular and is about 40 feet by 40 feet and 12 feet
                  deep. The channel is 50 feet wide, approximately 1000 feet long to a maximum depth of 15 feet.
                  The channel is aligned parallel to the wharf and is designed to intersect with the 15 foot depth
                  contour within the Detroit River channel. The channel will se rve to attract larger fish inhabiting
                  deep water in the river to the areas near the wharf. Alternative A was modified for the following
                  reasons:


                       Improvements to the fishery by the addition of isolated basins and channel would be
                       negligible compared to the design of a single channel

                  *    A 20 foot buffer should be maintained between the dredging and pier supports

                  0    Design constraints posed by the bottom substrate composition prevent construction of the
                       proposed (nearly vertical) side slopes. A minimum slope of 4 to 1 is assumed to be
                       necessary for creation of stable side slopes within this section of the Detroit River.

                  Alternative B
                  This alternative consists of a mildly, undulating channel with moderate expansion of two deep
                  water areas (See Sheet 10). The channel is located 20 feet downstream of the wharf and is 10
                  feet wide, approximately 1000 feet long, to a maximum depth of 15 feet. The channel is aligned
                  parallel to the wharf and is designed to intersect with the 15 foot depth contour within the Detroit
                  River channel. The deep water areas are 30 feet wide and 80 feet long and 15 feet deep.
                  Alternating areas of riprap serve to stabilize the channel and function as refuge and spawning
                  habitat. Dredge spoil is to be placed in mounds along channel for increased habitat diversity.
                  Alternative B was modified for the following reason:

                       Design constraints posed by the bottom substrate composition prevent construction of the
                       proposed (nearly vertical within the channel) side slopes. A minimum slope of 4 to 1 is
                       assumed to be necessary for creation of stable side slopes within this section of the Detroit
                       River.


                  Preferred Alternative: See 4.(a) Description of proposed activity and Sheet 5.





                                                                   6










                  5. State why you believe the project will not cause pollution, impair or destroy the water
                  or any natural resources.

                  The proposed actions are part of an effort to enhance fishery habitat adjacent to the Belle Isle
                  Piers. These improvements will result in an increase in the number and average size of gamefish
                  in areas near the piers, and may serve as spawning areas for important gamefish species.
                  Increased gamefish populations near the piers will result in greater fishing success for anglers,
                  which will increase use and appreciation of the natural resource. Therefore, long-term
                  recreational benefits resulting from improvement of the natural resource will exceed short-term
                  impairment to water quality.

                  Construction of the Inselruhe North Wharf Fishery Habitat Enhancement will involve mechanical
                  dredging of deep water areas. This activity will cause short-term, local increases in turbidity in
                  areas immediately downstream of the enhanced habitat. This work is being conducted within a
                  depositional zone and it is expected that suspended sediment will be deposited immediately
                  downstream of the area.


                  Construction of US Coast Guard Fishing Pier Fishery Habitat Enhancement will involve
                  mechanical dredging of deep water areas, placement of riprap and bedding stone in deep water
                  areas and the construction of a sediment deflector. Mechanical dredging of deep water areas will
                  cause short-term, local increases in turbidity in areas immediately downstream of the enhanced
                  habitat. This work is being conducted within a depositional zone and it is expected that sediment
                  will be deposited in the immediate vicinity. Analysis of sediment will be conducted prior to
                  construction (see Deposition of Dredged Material). Riprap and bedding stone will not adversely
                  impact water quality and only commercial grade materials will be used. Construction of the
                  sediment deflector will cause and increase in sediment accumulation upstream of the pier,
                  however, is not expected to cause impairment of water quality.
