More information about the project will be provided at the public meeting, followed by an open comment period. Anyone unable to attend the meeting may provide written comments before July 6 to Jessica Mistak, DNR senior fisheries biologist, at 484 Cherry Creek Rd., Marquette, MI, 49855, or via e-mail at mistakjl@michigan.gov.
