increasing need for pollution and flood control measures for the Saginaw
River Drainage Basin to eliminate, or lessen, the health and economic hazards
within said Saginaw Piver Basin; and

under the provisions of Chapter 21 of the Drain Code for the State of
"ichigan, (being act 40 of Public Acts of 1956 as amended and as extended

PETITION TO CREATE AN INTERCOUNTY DRAWE DISTRICT, UNDER CHAPTER 21 OF THE
DRAIN CODE OF 1956, as amended, TO :-EM(WE OR LESSEN HEALTH HAZARDS WITHIN THE
SAGINAW RIVER BASIN.
TO: DIRECTOR OF AGRICULTURE
State of Michigan
The County of Oakland, a Michigan Public Corporation, subject to assessment to pay
the allocated portion of the cost of work done pursuant to this petition, represents:
That with the removal of forests, the construction and improvement of County, Inter
county and private drains, including extensive field tiling, has resulted in the
casting of greater quantities of water into the Saginaw River Basin, in a much shorter
period of time and with greater force, which, combined with increased erosion, the
filling in and obstruction of channels and the elimination of natural pending
areas, through extensive diking along channel banks, has resulted in an ever increasing
flood condition during periods of heavy precipitation and spring thaws. Developments
and land uses within all parts of the Saginaw River Basin has resulted in an increased
deposit of sewage and other pollution in the various parts of the drainage basin, which,
because of the limited dry weather flow, have resulted in dangerous accumulations and
concentrations of pollution; which combined with the flood conditions have resulted in
an increasingly serious flood and health hazard throughout the entire Saginaw River Basin.
NOW, THEREFORE, Your Petitioner requests that an Augmented and Intencounty Drainage
Board be established and that jurisdiction be assumed over all, or any part of the bed,
tributaries, banks, and flood plains of the Saginaw River Basin, including the
Saginaw River, the Cass River, the Flint River, the Shiawassee River, and the Tittabawassee
River, together with their various branches, tributaries, water courses, and flood plains,
for the purpose of deepening, widening, straightening, and improving channels,
constructing dikes and flood control structures, pending areas and other works and
improvements, including acquisition of rights of way and lands, necessary or proper to
remove or lessen the flooding and health hazards now, or which may hereafter, exist
within the Saginaw River Basin, and the various parts thereof through the formation of an
Interceunty Drainage District.
This petition is filed pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 21 of the Drain Code for
the State of Michigan, (being Act 40 of P.A. 1956, as amended and supplemented by
Act 194 of P.A. 1965,) and your petitioner agrees to pay its apportioned share of the
cost of the planning and engineering required to describe, in recordable form, the
bed, tributaries, banks, and flood plains of the river, creek, or watercourse, over
which jurisdiction is necessary and is to he assumed and the work to be done or
property to be acquired according to the petition.
Attached hereto is a certified copy of the Resolution of the Board of Supervisors for
the County of Oakland, State of Michigan, adopted on the 13th day of March 1968
authorizing the execution and filing of this petition.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Board of Supervisors for the County of Oakland, has on this
