The Upper Peninsula Power Company will accept proposals for the Mitigation and Enhancement project until Oct. 16. The company seeks to create improvements to the aquatic and terrestrial environments within the Ontonagon River watershed, including the Bond Falls and Victoria Hydroelectric projects.
UPPCO contributes to the Mitigation Enhancement Fund, managed by the Bond Falls Implementation Team, comprised of representatives from Michigan DNR, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service, KBIC and the Wisconsin DNR.
Potential contractors must contact the BFIT to discuss proposal details to ensure the MEF grant objectives are met.
Project proposals should focus on projects that improve aquatic, terrestrial and riparian habitats within the Ontonagon River watershed.
