With this, and other concerns, in mind Addison Township purchased 229 acres of a fragile watershed area which contains the headwaters of three rivers. We purchased the parcel to serve as a rechargeable area for our aquifer and a catch basin to aid in flood control. We plan to utilize this area as a low impact ecological preserve. The total cost of this project to date is $2,900,000.00. DNR grants covered $2,100,000.00, Addison Township has paid $200,000.00 in cash and financed $600,000.00. Addison Township will be seeking reimbursement each year from the County to cover as much of the project cost as possible. Further, we, Addison Township, are using this project as part of our anticipated compliance with the Michigan Watershed based MS 4 voluntary General Permit Plan. TOWNSHIP OF ADDISON .
