The light station area is located at the crest of a bedrock outcrop, bounded on the south, east, and west by wave-cut exposures leading down to Lake Superior, and to the north by forested portions of the island. Soils have developed, accumulated, or been placed in general proximity to the various Light Station structures and in low areas between bedrock exposures. Vegetation in the Light Station vicinity is limited to grasses, weeds, and few small woody shrubs. No Federally listed plant or animal species have been identified. Specimens of one State Threatened plant species, prickly saxifrage (Saxifraga tricuspidata), are located in the vicinity of the Light Station, but outside of the contamination footprint. The USCG has obtained Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) Permit #1615 for the take of this State Threatened Species if necessary to perform the clean up work. Specimens of twisted whitlow grass (Draba arabisans), a State Species of Concern, are located within the contamination footprint. According to MDNR, there are no legal obligations to protect a State Listed Special Concern plant species.
