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
2003 should be approximately $1,314,470.
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.
This project is completed.
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. This project is completed.
a
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.
This project has been removed from the active project list as necessary easements
could not be obtained.
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. This project is completed.
5. 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 waterproofmg 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. This project has been
completed.
6. 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 10th and 11th heavy rain events of 2000.
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. The balance of this project
has been removed from the project list.
7. 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. This project has been
completed.
8. Pontiac Creek Extension Drain Repair. Remove and relay approximately
850 ft of enclosed drain-pipe that had failed including restoration. This repair was
necessary to eliminate flooding in the area served by the drain. This project has
been completed.
9. Dorothy Lane Sanitary Sewer Extension. This project will install
approximately 993 lineal feet of 8" sanitary sewer and appurtenances
along Dorothy Lane. This extension will provide sanitary sewer service to
residents on the East Side of Dorothy Lane and prevent future septic field
problems in the area. The estimated cost for this project is $134,000. This
project is ongoing.
Two (2) additional projects were approved by the Township Board at their April 14, 2003
meeting and are outlined as follows:
1. Year 2003 payments for Township participation in the North Oakland
County Hazardous Waste Interlocal Agreement between the Township and
Oakland County. This program will allow participating communities to obtain
economic benefits of scale in the provision of a coordinated program of hazardous
household waste collection and disposal. This program serves as an enhancement
to the commitment the Township has made to protect the groundwater that is used
to supply the public with potable water. The estimated cost for 2003 is $60,000.
2. Investigation and plan development for remediation of historical release
of contaminants into the groundwater at old Facilities and Operations Site. This
release is within the 1-year zone of capture of one of the Township's raw
groundwater supply well to treatment plant 16-1 (Ridgetop). The estimated cost
for this project is $159,000.
Attachment A contains copies of the Township Board resolutions authorizing reimbursement for
the projects listed above for your reference.
Attachment B contains expense invoices for all of the above projects that have been occurred
since the previous expense submittal of April 11, 2003. 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 $144,118.96 at this time.

The following memo was received from DPW Director Biederman:
The Oakland County Board of Commissioners established the Environmental
Infrastructure Fund to assist local communities (Cities, Villages and Townships),
throughout Oakland County, with water and sewer projects. The County Board of
Commissioners has committed to providing this fund with $5,000,000.00 per year for
each of fiscal years 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. The fund is allocated to
individual local communities based on a formula involving the population and taxable
base for each community. Waterford Township's share of the Environmental
Infrastructure Fund is approximately $262,900.00 for each year of the program or
$1,314,500 through 2003. This is funding that does not have to be paid back by the
Township or matched with Township funds in any way.
The County Board of Commissioners has given the local units of government discretion
in determining what projects will be eligible for reimbursement under this program. Once
the local community has determined that a project is to be completed using the
Environmental Infrastructure Fund, a description of the project is submitted to the
Oakland County Board of Commissioners for authorization. After authorization by the
County Board, the local community will be reimbursed for the actual cost of the project
based on invoiced amounts paid by the local community.
5
Minutes of Township Board meeting, held April 14, 2003.
Biederman memo continued:
The Township Board established the Environmental Infrastructure Revolving Fund
(EIRF) line item under the General Fund Budget to fund eligible water and sewer
projects at their July 26, 1999 Board meeting.
To date, there are nine (9) projects that have been authorized for completion by the
Board. The status of these projects varies from conceptual to completed. They are as
follows:
1. McDowell Drive Sanitary Sewer Extension $ 120,000
2. Lochaven Road Sanitary Sewer Extension $ 50,000
3. Williams Lake Road Sanitary Sewer Extension $ 43,948
4. Lochaven Road Water Main Extension $ 41,000
5. Lakewood Lift Station & Force Main Improv. $ 90,145
6. Tilden & Calvert Lift Station Modifications $ 320,000
7. Grinnell Lift Station $ 144,808
8. Pontiac Storm Drain Improvements $ 95,000
9. Dorothy Lane Sanitary Sewer Extension $ 134,000
$1,038,901
It should be pointed out that the project estimates above are based on construction costs
and do not include engineering and inspection to design and construct them. These
costs are also incorporated into the projects, as they are eligible expenses.
At this time, the Williams Lake Road Sanitary Sewer Extension has been dropped from
active projects because we were not able to obtain the necessary easements. This
reduces the overall estimated project construction list cost to $994,953.
One (1) new program that has been identified and adopted by the Board is the North
Oakland County Hazardous Waste Interlocal Agreement between Oakland County and
Waterford Township. This program will allow participating communities to obtain
economic benefits of scale in the provision of a coordinated program of hazardous
household waste collection and disposal. Residents of this program will enjoy access to
a coordinated, frequent, convenient, ongoing collection program supported by an
aggressive educational program regarding the hazards of household hazardous wastes
and their proper re-use and disposal. This program will serve to enhance the
commitment the Township has made to protect the groundwater that is used to supply
the public with potable water. Funding requirements for year one of this program is
estimated to be $60,000.
Adding this estimate to the projected costs of the active and completed projects listed
above increases total funding to $1,054,953.
In anticipation of the Township Board concurring with the above program
recommendations, we have prepared the attached Resolutions initiating them and
authorizing Terry E. Biederman, DPW Director, as agent for Waterford Township as the
responsible party for submitting reimbursement requests to the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners.
If you have any questions or comments, please let us know.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING
ENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST
FOR NORTH OAKLAND COUNTY HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, upon the recommendation of the Oakland County Executive,
the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has established an
Environmental Infrastructure Fund Program to assist Oakland County
cities, villages and townships in addressing clean water and storm water
needs; and
WHEREAS Oakland County's Environmental Infrastructure Fund
Program authorizes Oakland County cities, villages and townships to
apply for reimbursement of eligible expenses incurred in connection with
environmental remediations or improvements relating to ground and/or
surface water, water supply, sewer and/or drainage systems and/or water
pollution control efforts incurred as part of a city, village or township road
project; and
WHEREAS the Charter Township of Waterford, Oakland County,
Michigan will incur expenses in connection with the North Oakland
County Household Hazardous Waste Interlocal Agreement, a program
believed to be eligible for reimbursement under Oakland County's
Environmental Infrastructure Fund Program.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Charter Township of
Waterford Board authorizes and directs Terry E. Biederman P.E.,
Department of Public Works Director, as agent for the Charter Township
of Waterford, in the manner and to the extent provided for under Oakland
County Board of Commissioners Miscellaneous Resolution 99093, to
request reimbursement of eligible environmental remediation or
improvement project expenses under Oakland County's Environmental
Infrastructure Fund Program.
Moved by Deni,
Supported by Fortino, RESOLVED, to approve the foregoing resolution authorizing the
Environmental Infrastructure Fund Reimbursement as requested.
Motion carried unanimously.
The following memo was received from Building and Engineering Director Doug Bradley:
In October of 2002, in response to petitions submitted by property owners, the Township
Board passed Resolutions designating Special Assessment Districts (S.A.D.) for the
purpose of dredging certain existing canals adjacent to Watkins Lake and Williams Lake.
Construction plans have been prepared, the required MDEQ permits have been
obtained and construction bids for the projects are scheduled to be received and opened

Minutes of Township Board meeting, held April 14, 2003.
Bradley memo continued:
at the May 28, 2003 Township Board meeting. Actual construction is anticipated to
begin in September and the projects should be completed prior to the end of 2003.
The total cost for these two S.A.D. projects is estimated to be $544,000.00, (the Watkins
Lake project is estimated at $167,150.00 and the Williams Lake project is estimated at
$376, 850.00). Before the construction projects can be awarded to successful bidder it
will be necessary for the Township to identify a funding source to pay the contractor
from. This funding source will subsequently be reimbursed through the S.A.D. payments
made by the affected property owners. In the past the Township has sold bonds to fund
S.A.D. projects. The property owners within the S.A.D. then repay the Township over
time for the cost of the principal and interest of the bonds plus 1%. This process
minimizes the financial exposure of the Township but also increases the overall cost of
the project due to the cost involved with selling bonds. In lieu of selling bonds on the
open market another funding option is provided for in the statute (Public Act 188 of
1954). Section 15a of the statute allows a township to advance the cost of the S.A.D.
project from township improvement revolving fund. Under this option, however, the
maximum interest assessed by the township is limited to 5% per annum.
With the recent sale of the property located at M-59 and Crescent Lake Road, Waterford
Township currently has sufficient funds available in the Improvement Revolving Fund to
cover the costs of these two S.A.D. projects. The current economic conditions also
make the maximum 5% interest rate attractive, the Township is currently getting
substantially less interest on it's investments. Also the elimination of the costs
associated with a bond sale will decrease the overall project cost for the property
owners.
Therefore, I am hereby requesting that the Township Board allocate $544,000.00 in
Improvement Revolving Fund, for use in association with the S.A.D. Dredging projects
for the existing canals adjacent to Watkins Lake and Williams Lake. The Board should
also direct the office of Fiscal & Human Resources and accounting staff to establish the
line items necessary to properly budget for these projects.
Moved by Fortino,
Supported by Maloney, RESOLVED, to approve allocating funds for Special Assessment
District(s) for dredging projects as requested above, and direct the Staff Accountant and
Fiscal & Human Resources to accommodate accordingly.
Motion carried unanimously.

Fiscal & Human Resources Director Rob Seeterlin presented the following memo:
Attached is a supplemental agreement with Teamsters Local 214 allowing
for the establishment of an early retirement provision for qualified Teamster bargaining
unit employees. The Union has already approved this agreement. Eligibility
requirements and other details are included in the agreement.
By allowing this early retirement it is hoped that the Township will be
able to reduce staff through voluntary separations and we will be able to avoid any
layoffs due to financial constraints. The early retirement option will allow 19 employees
currently not eligible for retirement the option to retire early with their full benefits.
It is unknown how many employees will take advantage of the early retirement
program. Most eligible employees are in senior positions in their department and will be
replaced with other lower classified employees. The reduction in staff resulting from the
retirements will most likely occur in the lower level classifications. As vacancies occur,
Minutes of Township Board meeting, held April 14, 2003.
Seeterlin memo continued:
we will evaluate each position and make a determination as to whether or not we replace
the position.
Due to the serious nature of the Township's financial situation, it is expected that
several positions will be eliminated. We plan to wait and see who elects to leave
voluntarily and evaluate the cost savings. Once we know who has elected to leave, we
will make determinations as to the ability to replace staff and/or the need for further cuts.
Please contact me should you have any questions on this matter.
Moved by Deni,
Supported by Maloney, RESOLVED, to approve the Teamsters Early Retirement
Supplemental Agreement as proposed.
Moved by Maloney,
Supported by Deni, RESOLVED, to table the vote on the Teamsters Early Retirement
Supplemental Agreement as proposed until a full Board is present to vote.
Motion carried unanimously.
The following memo was received from Fiscal & Human Resources Director Seeterlin:
Attached are three exhibits describing three properties involved in our proposed
property exchange with Waterford Schools. The exchange of the properties will allow for
a construction site adjacent to Mason Middle School on Walton Boulevard for a new Fire
Station #2. The proposed new lot at Mason (attachment A) is 3.17 acres and will allow
us to build a new station to house the third rescue. Operationally this will provide for a
rescue on the North Side of the Railroad and improve response time to those homes and
businesses.
One of the parcels being transferred to the Schools is a small site at Mott High
School we purchased from the Schools in 1968 (Attachment B) as a potential site for a
fire station. It is within one mile of station #3 on Elizabeth Lake Road. The Fire
Department has no plans to develop the site.
The second parcel is on Pontiac Lake Road west of Della Lutes Elementary
(Attachment C). It would be split off of Optimist Park. The Park is accessed off
Elizabeth Lake Road on the South end of the property and Clinton River Drive on the
West. The area being provided to the Schools is currently being used as the school
playground.
Both the Township Board and Waterford Board of Education are being asked to
approve the land exchange. If both parties agree we will proceed with the necessary lot
splits at Mason and Optimist Park and process the title work.

One additional issue that will need to be addressed is a deed restriction placed
on Optimist Park when the State of Michigan provided it to the Township. Optimist Park

Seeterlin memo continued:
was donated to the State by the Dodge Brothers and must remain a public land.
The State placed this restriction on the Township through a Circuit Court order in
the 1969. We plan to ask the Court to approve and place that same restriction
on the portion being provided to the Schools.
Plans for construction of a new Station #2 are still in the works. The Fire
Department is looking to build a facility similar in design to new Stations recently
built in Commerce Township (see Attachment D). The building will house a
rescue and fire engine along with staff. Additional vehicle storage and
mechanics bay will also be needed to replace what we have at current station #2.
The Department is also interested in a training room to allow for staff, volunteer
and community training. Attachment (A) gives a conceptual layout of the site
with building, parking and driveways. We are looking to maintain nearly all of the
high quality trees that occupy the site.
In addition to the property transfer we are asking to begin efforts to sell Fire
Station #2 on Walton Boulevard (Attachment E) and a vacant parcel at the corner
of Silver Lake Road and Oxley (Attachment F). The Silver Lake and Oxley
property has been designated as a potential future fire station site. It is
anticipated that proceeds from the sale of these parcels and undesignated fund
balance in the Fire Fund will be sufficient to cover the cost of construction of the
new station. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions on
this matter.
Moved by Fortino,
Supported by Deni, RESOLVED, to approve the foregoing property exchange with
Waterford Schools.
Motion carried unanimously.
The following memo was received from DPW Director Biederman:
Waterford Township is required under the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Act of 2002 to comply with the following:
1. Conduct a vulnerability assessment of the Township water system.
2. Certify and submit a copy of the assessment to the EPA Administrator.
3. Prepare or revise the Township emergency response plan that
incorporates the results of the vulnerability assessment.
4. Certify to the EPA Administrator, within 6 months of completing the
Vulnerability assessment, that the Township has completed or updated
its' emergency response plan.
For your reference, I have attached a document entitled, "Community Drinking Water
Systems- Requirements under the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism
Minutes of Township Board meeting, held April 14, 2003.
Preparedness and Response Act of 2002", that outlines basic requirements and the time
frame for
Biederman memo continued:
completion of the vulnerability assessment. I have also attached a document
called "Vulnerability Assessment Factsheet", which outlines the basic elements of
the vulnerability assessment. Both of these documents were obtained from the
EPA's web site.
As you can see from the Community Drinking Water Systems document, the
timeline to complete the vulnerability assessment for a water system of the
Township's size is December 31, 2003.
Waterford Township's engineering consultant, Johnson and Anderson, with
several staff members holding certification in the EPA recognized vulnerability
assessment procedure of Risk Assessment Methodology for Water (RAM-W)
was consulted to provide a proposal to complete the required vulnerability
assessment. I have attached a copy of their proposal for your reference and am
recommending its' approval as it will take several months to complete.
As you can see from the proposal, the not to exceed cost of completing the
vulnerability assessment is $65,000. Funds in Account 59044-84500 have been
budgeted for this activity in 2003. If you have any questions or comments,
please let me know. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Moved by Deni,
Supported by Fortino, RESOLVED, to approve a water system vulnerability assessment
as requested above.
Motion carried unanimously.
The following was received from Township Attorney Gary Dovre:
As you may be aware, the referenced legislation, which for understandable
reasons is being referred to as the METRO Act, took effect November 1,
2002. This law reflects sweeping changes in the law regarding municipal
right-of-way management from that which was in effect when we adopted our
Right-of-Way Management Ordinance back in 1998.
A cornerstone of the Metro Act is that regardless of how the Township
handled right-of-way permits or agreements in the past, as of November 1,
2002, it could not enact, maintain or enforce any ordinance or legal
requirement regarding telecommunications providers that is inconsistent with
the Metro Act. Complying with this requirement should be relatively
straightforward in that the Act mandates the use of MPSC approved Permits
12
I
13 Minutes of Township Board meeting, held April 14, 2003.
Dovre letter continued:
and Application forms and limits the fees the Township may collect to a one-
time application fee of $500.00.
With the application information and permit forms standardized, the Act
shortens the time for the Township to approve or deny a permit from 90 to 45
days from the date of the application. The Act also requires notice to the
MPSC when permits are applied for, granted or denied and an annual report
of how funds received under the Act are spent. That leads to what many
believe to be the most significant feature of the Act. Namely, the manner and
amount of fees that will be paid by users and to municipalities for right-of-way
use.
The Act calls for all telecommunication providers, including SBC/Ameritech
and others who have a long claimed exemption from permit and fee
obligations, to secure municipal permits and pay an annual maintenance fee
to the newly created Metro Oversight Authority ("Authority"). The fee is based
on lineal feet of public right-of-way (excluding state and federal highways)
occupied by owned improvements, with the prorated amount from 11/1/02 to
3/31/03 being 2 cents and from thereafter at 5 cents. Although the Act
contains more detailed formulas, timetables and exceptions for those
payments to be made to and distributed by the Authority, basically 75% of the
funds will go to cities and villages and 25% will go to townships that are in
compliance with the Act and choose to participate in the distributions.
If adopted, the Resolution that has been provided would allow the Township
to participate in the first distribution of fees received by the Authority, which is
supposed to occur at the end of May. The Act allows until December 31,
2003, for a municipality to opt in or out of participating in the fee sharing and
contains language that in our opinion could have allowed the Authority to treat
the Township as being in compliance with the Act without the necessity of the
Resolution at this time. However, the Authority has announced that
communities that do not opt-in by May 9, 2003, will not receive their first
distribution until May of 2004 (including any accrued interest in the interim.) In
other words, if a municipality waits until after May 9, 2003 to opt-in, it will not lose
its first distribution, or even interest on its distribution, but it will not receive those
funds until next year.
The Act provides that a municipality may opt-in by way of ordinance or resolution.
If the Township wishes to opt in at this time, we recommend the enclosed
Resolution. If you approve the Resolution, at a later time we will probably
recommend some ordinance amendments. One reason for deferring ordinance
changes at this time relates to the possibility of challenges to the Act, which
called for requesting an Advisory Opinion from the Michigan Supreme Court
on several constitutional issues presented. One of those was whether
SBC/Ameritech and the other incumbent providers with franchise claims
could constitutionally be required to pay these new fees. The Supreme Court
declined to undertake that task, indicating that any challenges to the Act
should be resolved in the traditional manner.
14 Minutes of Township Board meeting, held April 14, 2003.
Dovre letter continued:
The financial benefits to cities and village (with their 75% share of the pot)
would seem to make their decision to opt in to the Act an easy one. The opt
in benefit to Townships is less direct, particularly with respect to actual fees
received, which in the first year could be less than if payments were made
under existing permits. Although the Act says existing permits are not
affected, that statement does not protect the Township from having to defend
claims that the fees and/or terms and conditions of those permits are illegal.
With the lineal foot charge under those permits being 3 to 6 times higher than
the $.05 per foot charge under the Act, such challenges would not be
surprising.
The Metro Act was the result of intense efforts and pressures to come up with
a uniform state-wide permitting system and fee structure for telecom use of
the rights-of-way. It replaces the system that lead to substantial litigation at
the MPSC under the Michigan Telecommunications Act. Municipalities did
not do well in that litigation and we do not believe the chances will be any
better under the Metro Act.
While including the SBC/Ameritech lines in the fee calculation may eventually
put more money in the Township coffers than the fees called for under
existing permits, the indirect benefit in opting in to the Metro Act scheme of
things and certainty it brings to the issue may be just as important. By using
the MPSC approved forms and accepting the state mandated fee structure for
the existing permits, the Township will enjoy substantial protection from
disputes with telecom providers over those fees and the other permit terms
and conditions.
If the Resolution is adopted, we will work with the Township staff to follow-up on
its requirements. Should there be questions we will be happy to answer them.
The following resolution was also presented by Township Attorney Gary Dovre:
RESOLUTION REGARDING RIGHT-OF-WAY REGULATION AND FEES
RECITALS:
The Metropolitan Extension Telecommunications Rights-of-Way Oversight Act, Act No.
48 of the Public Acts of 2002 (the "Act") took effect November 1, 2002; and
The Act, among other things, provides for a uniform permit and permit fee for access to
and use of the public rights-of-way by telecommunications providers; and
The Act further provides, among other things, for a distribution of funds from the
Metropolitan Extension Telecommunications Rights-of-Way Oversight Authority (the
"Authority"), established pursuant to Section 3 of the Act, provided the Township takes
certain action in compliance with the Act; and

15 Minutes of Township Board meeting, held April 14, 2003.
METRO Act continued:
The Township has previously adopted a Right-of-Way Regulation Ordinance, codified as
Chapter 14.5 of the Waterford Township Code of Ordinances and Resolutions regarding
implementation of that Ordinance, including the establishment of fees.
Certain provisions of the Right-of-Way Regulation Ordinance and Resolutions and prior
permits issued pursuant to them are not consistent with the Act.
The Township has been and intends to continue in compliance with the Act and, under
the criteria established by the Authority, wants to be eligible to receive the fee sharing
payments in the first distribution by the Authority in 2003; and
In view of the Act and its requirements, the Township desires to give additional
instruction and direction to the its personnel involved in the administration of the Right-
of-Way Regulation Ordinance and Resolutions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. Effective November 1, 2002, the Township will comply with the Act.
2. The Township Director of Engineering is hereby authorized and directed to
identify and compile a list of all telecommunications providers holding permits or
authorizations issued by the Township, all telecommunication providers who have paid
fees to the Township since 1990, all telecommunications providers identified in the
Township's engineering or construction permit files, all regulated telephone inter-
exchange carriers and competitive access providers listed on the web site of the
Michigan Public Service Commission, and all regulated local telephone companies
licensed in Michigan listed on such web site.
3. The Township Director of Engineering is hereby authorized and directed to
provide a copy of this Resolution to the cable companies providing service in the
Township, and to all telecommunications providers identified above, in satisfaction of the
requirements of Section 13(4) of the Act.
4. Effective November 1, 2002, all permits issued by the Township to
telecommunication providers for use of the public right-of-ways prior to that date are
modified pursuant to the Act to require only the payment of fees as provided in Section 8
of the Act, reserving any rights the Township may have to fees due for the period ending
October 31, 2002. If Section 8 of the Act is found to be invalid or unconstitutional, this
modification of fees is void from the date of the modification
5. The Township Treasurer, based on the records of and in consultation with the
Director of Engineering, is hereby directed to return to telecommunications providers,
any payments or prorated portion of payments received by the Township from such
providers for access and usage of the public rights-of-way in the Township after
November 1, 2002 (other than any $500 application fee allowed under the Act and any
fees or funds received from the Authority).
5. The Director of Engineering and all other Township personnel involved in
the administration and enforcement of the Right-of-Way Regulation
Ordinance and
Minutes of Township Board meeting, held April 14, 2003.
METRO Act continued:
Resolutions are directed to comply with the Act and otherwise disregard
provisions of the Ordinance and Resolutions which may conflict with the Act.
Moved by Fortino,
Supported by Maloney, RESOLVED, to approve the foregoing resolution for right-of-way
regulations and fees, as required by the METRO Act.
Motion carried unanimously.
The following memo was received from DPW Director Biederman:
During the demolition of the old Facility and Operations Building in the summer of
2002, a 450-gallon capacity underground storage tank (UST) containing used oil
was discovered beneath the building floor. Field screening and analytical testing
of the soils adjacent to the UST were used to guide the excavation and ensure
proper disposal of contaminated soil.
Though verification sampling of the excavation following soil removal indicated
that the contaminated soil had been adequately addressed, further investigation
of the groundwater beneath the UST indicated the presence of contamination.
As a result, DPW staff and DLZ met with the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality and the conclusion reached that the groundwater
contamination was not related to the used oil UST and was most likely related to
previous UST release(s), based on the following:
• The soil boring advanced on September 9, 2002 did not encounter contamination
between the floor of the excavation and the groundwater table.
• The compounds discovered in the saturated soil samples do not correspond to
those detected in the soil adjacent the used oil UST.
As the owner/operator (0/0) of a former Leaking Underground Storage Tank
(LUST) at this site, the Township has specific obligations pursuant to Part 213 of
State of Michigan
Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act 1994 PA 451 (NREPA).
These obligations require that the nature and extent of soil and groundwater
contamination be defined and delineated and that an assessment of risk be
conducted.
Based on the assessment of risk, the 0/0 is required to take whatever means
necessary to protect human health and the environment. In addition, specific
reports and schedules are mandated by the act with significant fines and
penalties for non-compliance.
16
17 Minutes of Township Board meeting, held April 14, 2003.
Biederman continued:
The assessment and management of groundwater contamination is also
mandated by the Township's approved Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality (MDEQ) Well Head Protection Program (WHPP), which was developed to
assess and protect the drinking water supply for the community.
Specific requirements also apply to groundwater contamination, which pose a
risk to a designated wellhead capture zone. The groundwater impact identified
beneath the waste oil LUST is located within the one-year capture zone of two
municipal wells that provide raw water to Water Treatment Facility (WTP) 16-1.
I have included a detailed chronology of the events that have resulted in the
current situation in Appendix A for your reference.
Because of the Township's statutory obligation to address the groundwater
contamination and because the contamination was contained within the one-year
zone of capture for the supply wells that feed water to WTP 16-1, DLZ was
consulted to submit a scope of services and costs to investigate and prepare a
corrective action plan for the site. DLZ was consulted because they are the
Township's WHPP consultant and are a Michigan qualified UST consultant with
four (4) certified UST professionals on staff. In addition, they are also used for
project management work as an extension of the MDEQ- Storage Tank Division
in managing the investigation and remediation of Leaking Underground Storage
Tanks (LUST) across the State.
I have attached a scope of service document from DLZ in Appendix B for your
review. The scope outlines the work tasks that need to be completed in order to
determine the extent of contamination and to prepare a corrective action plan.
Please note in Exhibit B that Tasks 1-4 and 7 will have to be performed, at a
minimum, to determine the extent of groundwater contamination migration across
the F&O site. The cost for these activities would be $78,000.
If the groundwater contamination is determined to have migrated from the F&O
site, Tasks 5-6 will also have to be completed in order to determine the full extent
of migration. In this worse case scenario, the cost would be $159,000. Please
note that the scope of services is only to determine the extent of the migration
and to develop the corrective action plan. Additional costs would be realized in
the event that cleanup or containment would be required.
Upon review of the scope of services and proposed cost, Rob Seeterlin and I
began to formulate a plan to finance it. Due to the financial condition of the
General Fund at this time, it was determined the most viable method of financing
would be to allocate funds from the Oakland County Environmental Infrastructure
Fund. In order to do this, the previously authorized project for the Tilden and
Calved Pumping Station Modifications would cease to be funded. With a major
portion of the design and engineering completed and paid for, this project has a
remaining balance of approximately $270,000.
Funding to complete the remaining design for the Tilden and Calvert Pumping
Station Modifications project would come from Water/Sewer funds. Analysis is
Minutes of Township Board meeting, held April 14, 2003.
also underway to determine the best method of financing the construction of the
project once the design is completed. Options being considered range from
selling bonds to utilizing Water/Sewer funds.
Provided the Board approves the North Oakland County Hazardous Waste
Interlocal Agreement between Oakland County and Waterford Township at the
April 14, 2003 Board meeting, the revised authorized funding would break down
approximately as follows:
18
1. McDowell Drive Sanitary Sewer Extension
2. Lochaven Road Sanitary Sewer Extension
3. Lochaven Road Water Main Extension
4. Lakewood Lift Station & Force Main Improv.
5. Grinnell Lift Station
6. Pontiac Storm Drain Improvements
7. Tilden and Calvert Lift Station Modifications
8. Dorothy Lane Sanitary Sewer Extension
9. North Oakland County Hazardous Waste Program

$ 134,000
$ 60,000
$ 159,000
$ 943,953
Please note that this total does not included engineering and inspection fees associated
with the projects, which would also be included as part of the part.
Attached in Appendix C, is a Resolution authorizing the project to be included as part of
the Oakland County Environmental Infrastructure funding initiative with authorization for
Terry E. Biederman, DPW Director, as agent for Waterford Township to be the
responsible party for submitting reimbursement requests to the Oakland County Board of
