BY: PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE - Richard R. Wilcox, Chairperson
IN RE: HURON VALLEY WASTEWATER CONTROL SYSTEM
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has completed and
has published a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) November 1978 for the
Huron Valley Wastewater Control System; and
WHEREAS, said EIS proposes and recommends an Alternative Plan "D" that
provides for a major expansion of the Walled Lake - Novi Wastewater Treatment
Plant to serve the "northern communities" (northern half of City of Novi, City of
Walled Lake, Village of Wolverine Lake, Commerce Township and White Lake Township)
in the plan of study area and to discharge the effluent into the Walled Lake Branch
of the Middle River Rouge; and
WHEREAS, a major expansion of the Walled Lake - Novi Wastewater Treatment
Plant and the increased effluent discharge will result in deterioration of the
waters of the Middle River Rouge and would be environmentally and socially
unacceptable to downstream communities; and
WHEREAS, Alternative Plan "D" also provides that the southern part of the City
of Novi will be served by the Middle Rouge Interceptor by acquiring capacity
presently owned by Canton Township, which capacity acquisition may be difficult
or impossible to implement; and
WHEREAS, participating Wayne County and Oakland County communities have
previously approved Alternative Plan A-1 to serve the project area.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
hereby endorses Alternative Plan A-1 contained in the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency draft Environmental Impact Statement as an implementable,
environmentally sound and socially acceptable plan for the Huron Valley Waste-
water Control System.
The Planning and Building Committee by Richard R. Wilcox, Chairperson, moves
the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
