Telegraph Road Pontiac, MI 48341 RE: Environmental Infrastructure Fund Reimbursement Program Dear Mr. Ott: Pursuant to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Miscellaneous Resolution (MR) 99093, the Charter Township of Waterford (Township) hereby requests reimbursement under the Oakland County Environmental Infrastructure Fund Program for expenses incurred in connection with eligible remediation or improvement projects undertaken by our Township. Per the program outline, it is our understanding the Township is eligible to receive approximately $262,894 per year from 1999 to 2003. Accordingly, total funds available through 2001 should be approximately $788,682. Projects currently being undertaken by the Township that have already received partial reimbursement of funds and that you already have Official Board Resolution Meeting Minutes for are as follows: 1. McDowell Drive Sanitary Sewer Extension. This project will extend sanitary sewer along McDowell Drive from McCormick Drive to approximately 750 feet south and provide service for six (6) existing residences located on McDowell Drive. McDowell Drive extends along a peninsula surrounded by Scott Lake and its' adjacent wetland. The existing residences are served by septic systems that are subject to submergence by fluctuations in the elevation of Scott Lake. The As Bid cost for this project is $120,470 and does not include engineering and inspection costs which will be added to the final cost. 2. Lochaven Road Sanitary Sewer Extension. This project will provide sanitary sewer for three (3) existing residences located on Lochaven Road south of Cooley Lake Road. The existing septic systems currently serving these residences are located in wetlands and one of these systems has already failed. The project is being included with an existing sanitary sewer project on Lochaven Road north of Cooley Lake Road and has been contracted to cost $50,000 by the existing Contractor, Mago, Incorporated. This does not include engineering and inspection costs which will be added to the final cost. 3. Williams Lake Road Sanitary Sewer Extension. This project will provide sanitary sewer service for five (5) existing commercial properties located along Williams Lake Road between Pontiac Lake Road and M-59. These properties are partially in wetlands that are hydraulically connected to Pontiac Lake. The commercial businesses located on these properties are currently served by septic systems that are subject to submergence by changes in the water level of the wetland. The estimated construction cost cost of this project is $178,900 and does not include engineering and inspection costs which will be added to the final cost. 4. Lochaven Road Water Main Extension. This project will provide Water main for three (3) existing residences located on Lochaven Road south of Cooley Lake Road. The existing private wells currently serving these residences are failing and need to be replaced. The project is being included with an existing sanitary sewer project on Lochaven Road north of Cooley Lake Road and has been contracted to cost $41,000 by the existing Contractor, Mago, Incorporated. This does not include engineering and inspection costs which will be added to the final cost. Additional projects that were approved by the Township Board at their December 11, 2000 meeting are as follows: 1. Lakewood Lift Station Modifications. This project will replace the existing 953 feet 4-inch force main exiting the station with a 6-inch force main and replace the smaller original pump with a comparable sized Vaughn Chopper pump to better match the existing new larger pump in the station. The result of these improvements would be to increase the firm pumping capacity of the station from approximately 136 gallons per minute (GPM) to 260 GPM as a result of less friction losses in the new 6 inch force main. It also proposes raising and waterproofing fourteen (14) manholes along Baybrook Street, which are currently located in the bottom of the ditch line and below ground elevation. This will reduce the amount of inflow into the collection system leading to the Lakewood Pumping Station and reduce the total volume of water to be pumped. The estimated cost for this project is $84,625. 2. Tilden and Calvert Lift Stations Modifications. This project will increase the size of all pumps at each station and will enable them to effectively convey at least the quantifiable volume of water observed during the September 10 th and 11 th heavy rain events of last summer. It also proposes extending the existing 16-inch force main exiting the stations approximately 1000 feet to the north to lower the hydraulic gradeline in the gravity sanitary sewer system near Elizabeth Lake Road. This will prevent basement flooding in this area. It also proposes protecting the Tilden Lift Station from storm water inundation with the installation of a barrier that would surround the immediate site. This will greatly reduce the amount of water volume the station has to pump during these types of events. It also proposes the installation of new flow meters at each station and is required on lift stations with pumping capacities of 1200 GPM or more. These meters will provide valuable information as to the pumping status and condition of the stations. The estimated cost for this project is $320,000. 3. Grinnell Lift Station Modifications. This project proposes extending the existing 6 inch force main exiting the Grinnell Lift Station approximately 500 feet to a discharge point on Parkway north of the intersection of Goethe, Larchmont and Parkway and construction of a duckbill check valve manhole and a manhole containing a pump on Parkway north of Goethe, Larchmont and Parkway. The construction of the duckbill and pump manhole will allow dry weather flow to pass through under normal conditions from Fullerton, Oak, Larchmont, Denver and Goethe. In conditions of surcharging, such as in a heavy rain event, the duckbill will close on Parkway and not allow flow from the system downstream to backup into the Fullerton, Oak, Larchmont, Denver and Goethe service areas. The pumping manhole will then discharge flow from these areas into the downstream sewer to prevent these areas from flooding. The estimated cost for this project is $92.750. Attachment A contains copies of the Township Board resolutions authorizing reimbursement for the three (3) new projects listed above for your reference. Attachment B contains expense invoices for all of the above projects as incurred since the previous submittal that the Township is seeking to be reimbursed on. As mentioned in the descriptions above, these projects are in various stages of completion and additional costs will be submitted for them as milestones are reached. The Township understands the review and processing of this reimbursement request will be governed by the provisions of MR 99093, and certifies that all expenses submitted for reimbursement were incurred in connection with a qualifying remediation or improvement project. As such, the Township is seeking for reimbursement in the amount of $175,870.72 at this time.
