NOTICE: CLEAN WATER ACT, SECTION 401 CERTIFICATION

Baraga County Road Commission (BCRC) is proposing to complete a permanent culvert replacement on Skanee Road at a Silver River tributary. After a flash flooding event in 2025 the culvert was slip lined with a 60-inch diameter CMP pipe as a temporary emergency structure repair. BCRC is proposing replacing the existing culvert with a larger concrete box culvert. It is proposed that a temporary road and bypass culvert will be constructed to maintain traffic and stream flow during construction.

In accordance with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community is evaluating the submitted materials to determine if there is a reasonable assurance- with conditions attached- that the activities associated with the Army Corps of Engineers’ verification of the Nationwide Permit will be consistent with relevant water quality considerations.

The Tribe seeks comments on CWA Section 401 Certification of the Army Corps’ verification for this project. All comments are considered during the project review. The 30-day public comment period ends on 10/24/2026.

Last week youth workers removed 120 pounds of trash from the Lyons Street vernal pool! These critical habitats protect blue spotted and spotted salamanders by creating fish-free habitats for baby salamanders to mature. Since they return to the same pool every year it’s important that we keep this area trash free.
