DNR Shares Mining Concerns Near Watkins Lake State Park

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is raising serious concerns about a proposed gravel mine next to Watkins Lake State Park and County Preserve in Norvell Township. In a November fifth letter to township trustees, DNR Director Scott Bowen warned the proposed operation could damage the park’s wetlands, water quality, wildlife habitat and recreational experience. The proposed mine would cover a 625-acre site adjacent to the park and Watkins Lake, with mining and truck operations expected to continue for 20 years. The DNR also cites potential problems from dust, noise and increased truck traffic. The letter comes as Norvell Township considers whether to approve or deny the mining permit. The full letter is available at Irish Hills Concerned Citizens website.
