Summary
In November 2019, the Beaver Island Association reported that its board had written to a senior Great Lakes Army Corps officer and the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy Water Resources Division seeking help developing responses to high lake levels, wind-wave erosion, and threats to shoreline environments and property.
In December, the association also circulated an International Joint Commission request for shoreline-owner observations and photographs.
Evidence limits
