RE: Board of Commissioners — Support for Senate Bill 1202 — Sanitary Sewage Overflows
TO: Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, there have been recent reports of municipalities in southeast Michigan
polluting local rivers, lakes and streams by discharging untreated or partially treated sewage into
the waters of Michigan; and
WHEREAS, municipalities with illegal Sanitary Sewage Overflows (SSO) have
compounded the public health hazard by not notifying the general public or other municipalities
of the potentially serious health risks associated with the discharge of raw sewage into the
waterways; and
WHEREAS, the established procedure of the Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality wherein information on sewer discharges is not released until the municipality discharging
the waste agrees to fix the problem exposes the uninformed general public to unnecessary health
risks; and
WHEREAS, in response, Senate Bill 1202 was introduced to amend Public Act 451 of
1994 — Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, requiring municipalities to notify the
Department of Environmental Quality, local health departments, other municipalities and the
general public whenever they have discharged untreated or partially treated sewage into the
waters of Michigan.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby support the adoption of Senate Bill 1202; and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED THAT copies of this resolution be sent to the Governor, the
Michigan Association of Counties and to all legislators representing Oakland County and to the
County's legislative lobbyists.
Mr. Chairperson, We move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.
