Recognition and reporting of water quality management
problems on Michigan’s forest lands

All earth changes, people’s activities and uses have potential for
negative impacts on water quality.

Healthy, productive forests are closely associated with high quality
water, but forest management activities which cause erosion are threats to surface water quality.
![Page 4: Recognition and reporting of water quality management problems on Michigan’s forest lands](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816806550346895ddd8769/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Forest land management activities such as:
• Timber harvest activities-landings and skidding
• Site preparation and tree planting• Trails and pathways• Road construction and parking areas
have potential to cause erosion, sedimentation and other undesirable impacts.

Major pollutants that degrade surface and ground water are:
• Sediment• Nutrient• Chemicals• Heat• Debris

We are all responsible for maintaining high quality waters in
Michigan.Do your part by reporting
potential threats to water quality using:
Michigan Department of Natural ResourcesWater Quality Management Practices on Forest Lands
Non-Compliance Report Form
![Page 7: Recognition and reporting of water quality management problems on Michigan’s forest lands](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816806550346895ddd8769/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The report form should be filled out as completely as possible
and given to FMFM Unit Manager.
Submitting a report will start a tracking and prioritization
process.

The top portion of the form records general information such as location, priority and who found the problem.
Priority is subjective. A problem that is currently causing a large amount of resource degradation such as a
washed out road may be rated as urgent. An problem such as an undersized culvert on an intermittent stream
may have a low priority. Use your best judgment.

The middle section of the form is a checklist of non –
conformances.

The lower portion of the form records action taken, further action needed and additional tracking
information

The following slides show examples of problems that should
be reported when found.
