ONTONAGON COUNTY, MI— Upper Peninsula Power Company is now accepting proposals for its annual Bond Falls Mitigation and Enhancement Fund grant.

The aim of the grant is to create tangible, measurable improvements to aquatic and terrestrial environments within the Ontonagon River watershed. That includes UPPCO’s Bond Falls and Victoria Hydroelectric Projects.

The grant is managed by the Bond Falls Implementation Team, comprised of representatives from the Michigan DNR, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, and other stakeholders. Applicants must contact a BFIT representative to discuss their proposal during the early stages of project development to ensure the objectives of the grant are met.
