FROM: Sidney Lockhart, P.E., Special Projects Manager
SUBJECT: Clinton River Water Resource Recovery Facility Drainage District —
Bio-Solids Handling and Septage Receiving Facility Bond Issue
DATE: March 21, 2017
The Drainage Board for the Clinton River Water Resource Recovery Facility is asking the Board of
Commissioners to approve the attached resolution for the sale of bonds to fund the Bio-Solids
Handling and Septage Receiving Facility project.
Bonds, in the amount of $42 million, will be sold by the Michigan Finance Authority as part of the
MDEQ State Revolving Fund loan program, with an interest rate capped at 2.5%. The resolution
pledges the County's full faith and credit. A map of the project area and a project description are
attached.
The Clinton River Water Resource Recovery Facility Drainage District will be assessed for the
project. Municipalities in the district include the City of Auburn Hills, the Charter Township of
Independence, the City of Lake Angelus, the Village of Lake Orion, the Charter Township of Oakland,
the Charter Township of Orion, the Charter Township of Oxford, the Village of Oxford, the City of
Pontiac, the City of Rochester, the City of Rochester Hills, the Charter Township of Waterford and the

The Drainage Board has undertaken an improvement project for critical work needed at the facility.
This facility serves approximately 20,000 Pontiac residents and accepts 30% of the sanitary sewer
flow from the County's Clinton-Oakland Sanitary Sewer System. This project will enable the facility to
meet current regulations and address sludge processing needs.
On behalf of the Drainage District, we request that this matter be placed on your Planning and
Building Committee Agenda for March 21, 2017. Our intent is to present the matter to the Finance
Committee on April 20, 2017, and then submit it for full Board of Commissioners' consideration on April
26, 2017. Sid Lockhart and/or Razik Alsaigh will attend the meetings to answer any questions that
may arise.

Biosolids Handling and Septage Receiving Facility
Project Description
The Clinton River Water Resource Recovery Facility consists of the East Boulevard
facility and the Auburn facility interconnected to operate as one facility. The East
Boulevard plant was placed into service in 1921. The Auburn plant was constructed in
1962 and both were renovated in the 1980's. Upgrades were recently made at both
facilities in 2010, 2012 and in 2014.
The Perry Street Pump Station began pumping flow diverted from the Clinton Oakland
Interceptor to the facility in 2015. Most of the East Boulevard's and Auburn's equipment
is beyond its useful life and is not performing at optimal levels. Improvements are
necessary to efficiently accommodate this extra flow.
After solicitation for proposals, the drainage board selected CDM Smith as the design
engineer. The project consists of the following:
1. Thermal Hydrolysis Pre-treatment (THP) system, including:
a. Pre-dewatering centrifuges
b. Solids screens
c. Steam boilers
d. Sludge cooling system
2. Construction of a 80-foot by 100-foot, two-story Biosolids Handling Building for
the new THP system and support equipment including the new dewatering
centrifuges
3. Primary and secondary digester mixing equipment and cover
4. Replacement of biosolids dewatering belt filter presses
5. Improvements to the biosolids storage pad
6. Septage receiving station
7. Sludge belt conveyors from the Biosolids Handling Building
8. A building for the new septage receiving equipment
9. A prefabricated building for the new digester electrical equipment
10. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) improvements to fully
automate and integrate operations
Bids will be received on April 12, 2017. It is anticipated that the notice to proceed will be
issued in July 2017. The project is expected to be completed by July 2019.
