This coverage is made possible in part through a partnership between IPR and Grist, a nonprofit environmental media organization. The final day for the public to comment on a federal environmental review of the Line 5 tunnel is approaching on June 30. The draft report details the impacts of building a 3.6-mile tunnel under the lakebed in the Straits of Mackinac, which would house a new segment of Line 5. Right now, 72-year-old dual pipelines run along the bottom of the Straits.

Right now, 72-year-old dual pipelines run along the bottom of the Straits. The Army Corps will decide this fall whether to issue a permit for the project.

Smoke expected to lift in northern Michigan, but more could be on the way

A smoky haze settled over Traverse City, as seen from the top of Copper Ridge Drive on June 26, 2023. Smoke caused poor air quality and hampered visibility across northern Michigan.

This coverage is made possible through a partnership between IPR and Grist, a nonprofit environmental media organization. Canadian wildfire smoke that blew into the Great Lakes region is expected to clear from northern Michigan this weekend — at least for now. The Michigan Air Quality Division said Thursday morning that the heavy smoke across the Upper Peninsula was already clearing out.

Canadian wildfire smoke that blew into the Great Lakes region is expected to clear from northern Michigan this weekend — at least for now. The Michigan Air Quality Division said Thursday morning that the heavy smoke across the Upper Peninsula was already clearing out. Earlier in the week, there were unhealthy levels of fine particulate matter in the air across parts of the Upper Peninsula, with smoke reaching northern Lower Michigan and settling here for days before moving further south.

Sleeping Bear Dunes platform removed • Michigan Advance

This coverage is made possible through a partnership between IPR and Grist, a nonprofit environmental media organization. The Sleeping Bear Dunes have been active systems for millennia, shifting with the weather or fixed by vegetation. But changes can seem sudden, especially when measured against human infrastructure. That was the case with a popular wooden viewing platform at the Lake Michigan Overlook’s stop #9 along Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
