Voight, secretary of the Department of Natural Resources, and John A. Beale, administrator of the Division of Conservation, signed the agreement adopting the plan. Northern States owns the dam which forms the flowage, on the Chippewa River, and utilizes the 17,000 acres of water as flood control reservoir and for augmenting river flow during dry periods. As a recreation resource, the Chippewa flowage is tamed for exceptional musky, walleye and crappie fishing. Wilderness values also rate high on the flowage, and the recreation plan recognizes and protects the wild scenic quality of the shoreline.

Of the 181 shoreline miles, Northern States own 75 per cent. Within the flowage are 120 islands, and the company owns 90 per cent of the island shoreline. Only few cottages and small resorts, some on land leased from Northern States, interrupt the unbroken primitive shore landscape. Access to the flowage is presently provided by several public sites, some of them poorly marked and difficult to locate and use. Other access points are at private resorts.

Imports into the North Central states, Inland's primary market, increased in 1967 more than 10 per cent, he said.
