Koop Rose Township Supervisor Attachments Rose Township Hall, 204 Franklin Street, Holly, Michigan 48442 Attachment A Project Descriptions Oakland County Environmental Infrastructure Fund Rose Township Project Summaries Resource Protection Overlay District (Project #5) Rose Township is wholly within the headwaters of the Shiawassee River. The Shiawassee headwater area is a diverse area with a variety of economic, social, physical, and natural characteristics. The topography of uplands and lowlands, along with the headwaters, combine to form a natural landscape that is abundant with unique marshes, fens, streams, prairie lands and forested tracks. These fragile land and water areas serve as irreplaceable natural environments for a wealth of plants and animals. Due to the abundance of natural resources, Rose Township has attracted a significant residential development over the last 10-15 years. The proximity of major transportation routes has placed the township within easy commuting distance of major employment centers. The result of this population increase has been that many of the natural features and resources have been seriously degraded or threatened with degradation. It is clear that past land use planning approaches have had limited success in adequately protecting these important natural characteristics. Many of these natural resources play an intrigal part in protecting both surface and underground water resources, with the later being of particular importance since all township residences rely on private wells for potable water. In an effort to both protect these vital resources and accommodate anticipated continued growth, Rose Township proposes to create a Resources Protection Overlay District within its existing zoning ordinance. It is envisioned that this ordinance provision will complement the community's stormwater management efforts that was approved for funding under the environmental infrastructure reimbursement program in 1999. The purpose of the regulation is to ensure that property is developed in a manner consistent with protecting the priority resource areas on the site and the immediate vicinity. It will be the intent of this ordinance provision to allow for development is a creative fashion that protects vital natural features of a site while preserving property rights. The Overlay district will establish procedures to enable the developer and the community to achieve the mutually compatible objectives of reasonable use of land and protection of vital natural resources. The estimated $10,000 cost for this project will be expended for consulting services relating to the drafting and reviewing proposed language and standards, public hearing(s), publication and district map creation. 1 Well Abandonment Program (Project #6) An abandoned well is a well that is no longer in use or is in such disrepair that groundwater is no longer obtainable. Improperly abandoned wells have the real potential to contaminate the groundwater supply and pose a health risk to resident of the township. Improperly abandoned wells present a public safety hazard in that people (especially children) and small animals may be injured or killed by falling into wells that are left open. Abandoned wells also present a health hazard in that they serve as potential route for groundwater contamination. Many of these old wells are poorly constructed or badly deteriorated and may allow runoff water (carrying bacteria, sediment, fertilizer, pesticides and other chemicals) to flow directly down into the groundwater by passing the natural filtering and degradation process that takes place as water moves through the soil. Rose Township proposes to initiate a well abandonment program. The program will consist of three activities; a public education and information program, well location identification and, with approval of the property owners, closure of identified abandoned wells. This would be a collaborative effort between Rose Township and Oakland County MSU Extension's "Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program." It is envisioned that MSU Extension staff would provide the educational program and appropriate notices and new releases, hell identify and locate abandoned wells and coordinate the closures of the identified wells. Rose Township for its part would provide facilities for the education program. provide "local knowledge" and information to assist with locating abandoned wells and underwrite a portion of the cost of the actual well abandonment process. A qualified commercial well driller will do the actual well closing. The estimated average cost to close a well ranges from approximately $350 to S800 depending on the type, condition and location of the well. The portion of the closing cost to be paid by the township has yet to be determined, but it is anticipated to be in the 75% to 90% of the actual closure cost with a cap of approximately of $450.00 per well. It is estimated that the total cost for this project is $35,000. 2 Attachment B Authorizing Resolution Dan Gilbert McKenzie Flannery Herbert Hantke Mike Holowecki Bruce C.
