MARQUETTE, MI-- Upper Peninsula Power Company is now accepting proposals for its Bond Falls Mitigation and Enhancement Fund grant.
Officials say the goal of the grant is to create tangible, measurable improvements to aquatic and terrestrial environments within the Ontonagon River watershed. The watershed includes UPPCO’s Bond Falls and Victoria Hydroelectric Projects.
UPPCO contributes annually to the MEF, which is managed by the Bond Falls Implementation Team. The team is comprised of representatives from the DNR, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, Wisconsin DNR, and other stakeholders.
Proposals will be accepted through February 22. Applicants must contact a BFIT representative to discuss their proposal during the early stages of its development.
