Re: Project Description
Environmental Infrastructure Fund
Milford Township
Dear Mr. Ott:
Pursuant to Oakland County Board of Commissioners Miscellaneous Resolution 99093, Milford Township
hereby requests reimbursement under Oakland County's Environmental Infrastructure Fund Program for
expenses incurred in connection with eligible Environmental Rernediation or Improvement Projects. We are
requesting that the balance of our available funds be allocated to the following projects:
Wastewater Treatment Plant Study
We have hired our consulting engineers. Hubbell, Roth & Clark, Inc. (HRC) to evaluate providing
centralized wastewater treatment facilities to Sections 33 through 36 of the Township. The report will
analyze the options available to the Township and the related benefits, drawbacks, and construction costs.
Once completed, the report will be used by the Township Board as a planning tool to determine how best to
address wastewater treatment in this area. HRC has estimated that the engineering cost to complete this
report to be between $25,000 and $30,000.
Stormwater Management
Milford Township is in the beginning stages of developing a stormwater management plan. Through this
plan the Township will develop a voluntary stormwater permit application for compliance with the upcoming
EPA Stormwater Guidelines. Milford will work with the Huron River Watershed Council on development of
this plan. The Township has retained HRC to assist in determining the scope of work required. HRC
estimates that it will cost between $5,000 and $8,000 to define the items to be covered in the plan. Once the
scope of work has been determined, a detailed cost estimate of the total project will be developed. We will be
asking for reimbursement of the preliminary cost. Once the complete project scope is defined, we will ask
for reimbursement of those costs as well.

Use Variance in Sections 34 and 35
A developer owns several large parcels of land in Sections 34 and 35 of the Township. lie is proposing to
develop the property more densely than current zoning allows_ The Township contends that a less dense
alternative would be better to protect the water quality of the surrounding lakes, the quality of the ground
water source, and rural setting of the area. Milford Township has secured HRC to assist with determining if
the site vill perk and therefore could economically support a less dense development. The work will include
coordinating site visits with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, Oakland County Health
Department, the Geotechnical engineer, and an excavation company. Once the fieldwork is completed, a
report will be presented to the Township summarizing the findings. HRC estimates that their costs for this
work would be in the range of $40,000 to $50,000.
The Township understands that review process of this reimbursement request will governed by the provisions
of Resolution 99093 and certifies that all expenses submitting for reimbursement will be in accordance with
a connection to a qualifying environmental remediation or improvement project.
We anticipate spending the entire balance of the available funds from this program on these three (3) projects
(approximately $195,820, 5 years at $39,164). Subject to the approval of these projects by the Board of
Commissioners, invoices showing the expenses incurred by the Township will be forwarded to your office
along with our request for reimbursement.
If you have any questions or require any additional information. please contact me at 248-685-8731.
Very truly yours,
