The Whitefish Point Light Station is on the National Historic Register and sits next to the Whitefish Point National Wildlife Refuge. The Federal Highway Administration's ongoing expenditure of federal funds on the Whitefish Point Light Station triggers a Section 106 review - a legal protection of national historic resources mandated by the National Historic Preservation Act.
Time after time the public has been denied a reasonable opportunity to participate in a full Section 106 review and the public's comment has never been given consideration in the development of the Whitefish Point Light Station. Its historical integrity and fragile, unique environment has been degraded by extreme overdevelopment and commercialization, unreported mercury spills, loss of rare plant species, loss of habitat on a major migration flyway, buildings flooding, septic overflows, invasive species, and traffic hazards.
Please help us save the Whitefish Point Light Station by granting a Section 106 review that will mitigate and correct the damage done to the Whitefish Point Light Station.
