Summary

The main use of the delineated AOC boundaries is for EPA and State governments to locate those
sites listed on the U.S. Area of Concerns list in the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, or other
sites that are in close proximity or may have contributed to the pollution within each AOC. These
analyses are completed on a relatively small scale of the areas in and around each AOC. Attributes
only include the AOC name and the predominant state in which the AOC is located. The locations of
features and boundaries shown on this map are approximate and are intended for planning and
visualization purposes only.This is not intended for survey, statistical, engineering, or legal purposes.

Description

This shapefile provides a polygon boundary for the Manistique River AOC in Michigan. In general,
the following steps were taken in developing the shapefile:

1.	The previous AOC shapefile was obtained from EPA.

2.	Shoreline data from NOAA, called Continually Updated Shoreline Product (CUSP), was
downloaded for the full extent of the AOC.

3.	A narrative of the AOC was obtained from the State contact and/or taken from the AOC webpage
(see narrative below).

4.	The AOC shoreline (river and lake as applicable) of the previous shapefile was updated using the
data from Step #2.

5.	The extent of the AOC was determined from the narrative in Step #3 and/or the extent from the
previous boundary and applied.

6.	Utilizing aerial imagery (current and historic) and best professional judgement, manual edits to
the shoreline were made if significant deviations were apparent due to man-made changes or
possible errors.

Narrative: EPA AOC webpage, 6/17/20. "The Manistique River is located in Schoolcraft County in
Michigan's central Upper Peninsula. The river flows southwest through the county and discharges
into Lake Michigan at the city of Manistique. The AOC consists of the last 1.7 miles of the river, from
the dam in Manistique downriver to the mouth of the harbor at Lake Michigan."

Representatives of both EPA and EGLE reviewed and approved the boundary.

In instances where the AOC includes a watershed, those boundaries were delineated from data
obtained through EPA's National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPIus) Version 2.1.
