ponds and stream banks.
In order to comply with the federal grant funding requirements and objectives, the
County of Oakland was required to enter into an Inter-Agency Agreement ("IAA") with
the County of Wayne, and further, agreed to comply with certain administrative

Drainage Districts within the Main 1-2 of the Rouge River Watershed.
Attached are 10 separate interlocal agreements that were prepared with the assistance
of Corporation Counsel. The agreements would provide for the cost recovery related to
the matching requirements under federal grants. The communities affected are: Beverly
Hills, Bingham Farms, Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township, Farmington Hills,

INVENTORY STUDIES PROJECT
OAKLAND COUNTY, MICHIGAN

Background
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
Oakland County communities have required that most new developments retain
stormwater on-site. This requirement spawned the building of detention ponds
throughout the Rouge River Watershed. These basins effectively reduce peak flooding
and reduce pollutant loads from stormwater runoff. However, opportunities exist to
improve the performance of existing stormwater detention basins by improving pollutant
removal efficiencies and reducing the initial downstream flow.
A well-designed detention pond provides three main functions:
1. Prevention of downstream flooding by detaining and slowly releasing captured
runoff,
2. Recharge ground water, and
3. Physical, chemical and biological interactions which improve the quality of water of
detained water before it is discharged into streams, rivers and lakes.
The purpose of this project is to identify, prioritize, and make recommendations for
detention pond maintenance and design improvements of existing detention facilities in
the Main 1-2 Subwatershed. See attached map. The goal of these improvements is to
minimize flow variability and to increase detention pond pollutant removal efficiency.
This project is estimated to cost $109,000. A 50% USEPA grant of $64,500 has been
received as part of the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project. The
Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office, in cooperation with the following
communities, will implement this project: the Cities of Southfield, Rochester Hills, and
Troy; the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield; the Villagesof Bingham Farms
and Beverly Hills, and the County of Oakland.
The project is to be undertaken in accordance with the Office of the Oakland County
Drain Commissioner's Standard Engineering Contract that can be found at the Drain
Office Website; co.oakland.mi.us/drain.
Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
The Rouge River Watershed is under pressure from urbanization, making it vulnerable
to heavy loading of non-point source pollutants. One such pollutant is excessive
sediment. Although sediment loading is a natural part of a river system, excessive
loading can degrade fish and wildlife habitat, destroy wetlands, and reduce the
recreational and aesthetic appeal of the river system. In addition, substances such as
oils, salts, and nutrients can enter the system attached to sediment particles causing
eutrophication and a general decrease in water quality in hydraulically connected lakes
and ponds.

The purpose of this project is to identify and prioritize stream bank erosion sites in the
Rouge Main 1-2 Subwatershed (excluding the Franklin Branch) and to make
recommendations that will incorporate best management practices to decrease
sediment loading to the river. See attached map
The cost for this project is estimated at $100,000. A 50% USEPA grant of $50,000 has
been received as part of the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project.
The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office in cooperation with the Cities of
Southfield, Farmington Hills, Troy, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and the Townships of
West Bloomfield and Bloomfield, and the Villages of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills
will implement this project.
Scope of Services
Stormwater Detention Pond Stud)/
Inventory: 3 Months Duration
The consultant will communicate with the communities to determine the existing
detention facilities in the Subwatershed. The estimated number of ponds at this time is
about 350. The inventory will consist of the following.
• Compile existing data including location maps, copies of original design drawings,
drainage area,
• Verification of owner/responsible party for maintenance,
• Verify location and obtain GPS coordinates for each facility,
• The local unit of government's records relative to drainage, facility construction and
maintenance and any other records available for the facility will be collected.
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all existing facilities and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Assessment: 4-5 Months Duration
An assessment of each the existing detention facilities will be performed, consisting of
the following:
• A field assessment to determine the physical and hydraulic characteristics of each
facility including detention volume, outlet flow control, quantity and size of the inlet
and outlet structures, permanent pool depth; and stormwater quality enhancement
capabilities,
• A review of design plans, maintenance and other records for the facility to determine
if it was built and is functioning as designed,
• Verification of the type of development in the drainage area,
• Characteristics relating to the existing condition of each facility including the
presence of slope erosion, degree of sediment build-up, existing vegetation and
condition of the infrastructure,
• Age and years in service.

All collected data will be added to the previously created database and distributed to the
Oakland County Drain Office. Each community will receive only the data that pertains
to facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Evaluation & Ranking: 4-5 Months Duration
The data collected for each facility during the Inventory and Assessment will be
evaluated. The evaluation will consider all of the collected data, and identify needed
improvements and maintenance at each facility. In addition, recommendations will be
made for retrofitting measures that would improve outlet water quality, function, and
ground water recharge.
The findings and recommendations from the evaluation will be added to the previously
created database and distributed to the Oakland County Drain Office and the
communities. Each community will receive only the data that pertains to facilities within
their jurisdictional boundaries.
Final Report: 4 Months Duration
A summary of field findings and the accompanying recommendations, including
construction cost estimates, will be included in a comprehensive report. The report and
database will be arranged so that each community can easily access the information
that applies to the detention facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
Streambank Inventory: 3 Months Duration
An inventory of the streambanks will be performed for the Rouge Main 1-2
Subwatershed, including all tributaries and open county drains, but excluding the
Franklin Branch and it's tributaries (which are covered under another project). The
consultant will communicate with the communities to determine which branches and
tributaries of the approximately 90-120 miles of river are sizable enough to be
inventoried. The inventory will be performed using the existing Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality (MDEQ) approved inventories for Mitchell Creek, Au Sable River
and Clinton River Watersheds as models.
Physical data and photographs will be collected at each erosion site, including the
following:
- • Location identified by global positioning system,
• Complete site photographs,
• Bank condition,
• Apparenicause of erosion,
• Amount of erosion, length & width, amount of sediment in river
• Slope ratio,
• River conditions,
• Soil type & texture

The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all inventory sites and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Hydraulic/Hydrologic Study: 3 Months Duration (Concurrent with Inventory)
An assessment of the hydraulic/hydrologic characteristics of the Rouge Main 1-2
drainage area will be performed using HEC-2, HEC-RAS or similar models taken from
existing FEMA flood insurance studies. The study will include reviewing 2, 10, 50 and
100-year storm flow velocity and river stages. The cross-sections that are considered in
the study will be located on a watershed map. The results of the study will be
summarized for inclusion in the final report, and will be used to determine appropriate
site stabilization techniques. For areas without FEMA studies, simple flow estimates
and calculations will be used.
Site Prioritization: 3 Months -
Erosion sites identified in the inventory will be scored and ranked into minor, moderate
and severe categories. The severity index that will be used was developed for the
Northwest Michigan Streambank Erosion inventory and has been used extensively by
river restoration committees elsewhere in Michigan as a basis to prioritize sites for
restoration work. Based on the ranking, an overall prioritized list will be created. A
prioritized list will also be created, specific to each community.
Conceptual Drawings & Cost Estimates: 3 Months
Conceptual site drawings will be prepared for each severely ranked site. The site
drawings will include site characteristics and the recommended Best Management
Practices (BMP) necessary for site stabilization.
Accompanying cost estimates will be developed for each severely ranked site. These
cost estimates will consider the types of BMPs to be implemented, the accessibility of
the site, the size of the site, engineering design and construction oversight. A cost
summary table will be developed for the entire subwatershed, as well as for each
community.
Final report: 3 Months
A summary of the field investigations, cost estimates, site drawings and the hydrologic
study will then be included in a report. The report will be arranged so that information is
easily accessible by each community.

Background
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
Oakland County communities have required that most new developments retain
stormwater on-site. This requirement spawned the building of detention ponds
throughout the Rouge River Watershed. These basins effectively reduce peak flooding
and reduce pollutant loads from stormwater runoff. However, opportunities exist to
improve the performance of existing stormwater detention basins by improving pollutant
removal efficiencies and reducing the initial downstream flow.
A well-designed detention pond provides three main functions:
1. Prevention of downstream flooding by detaining and slowly releasing captured
runoff,
2. Recharge ground water, and
3. Physical, chemical and biological interactions which improve the quality of water of
detained water before it is discharged into streams, rivers and lakes.
The purpose of this project is to identify, prioritize, and make recommendations for
detention pond maintenance and design improvements of existing detention facilities in
the Main 1-2 Subwatershed. See attached map. The goal of these improvements is to
minimize flow variability and to increase detention pond pollutant removal efficiency.
This project is estimated to cost $109,000. A 50% USEPA grant of $54,500 has been
received as part of the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project. The
Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office, in cooperation with the following
communities, will implement this project: the Cities of Southfield, Rochester Hills, and
Troy; the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield; the Villages of Bingham Farms
and Beverly Hills, and the County of Oakland.
The project is to be undertaken in accordance with the Office of the Oakland County
Drain Commissioner's Standard Engineering Contract that can be found at the Drain
Office Website; co.oakland.mi.us/drain.
Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
The Rouge River Watershed is under pressure from urbanization, making it vulnerable
to heavy loading of non-point source pollutants. One such pollutant is excessive
sediment. Although sediment loading is a natural part of a river system, excessive
loading can degrade fish and wildlife habitat, destroy wetlands, and reduce the
recreational and aesthetic appeal of the river system. In addition, substances such as
oils, salts, and nutrients can enter the system attached to sediment particles causing
eutrophication and a general decrease in water quality in hydraulically connected lakes
and ponds.

The purpose of this project is to identify and prioritize stream bank erosion sites in the
Rouge Main 1-2 Subwatershed (excluding the Franklin Branch) and to make
recommendations that will incorporate best management practices to decrease
sediment loading to the river. See attached map
The cost for this project is estimated at $100,000. A 50% USEPA grant of $50,000 has
been received as part of the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project.
The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office in cooperation with the Cities of
Southfield, Farmington Hills, Troy, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and the Townships of
West Bloomfield and Bloomfield, and the Villages of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills
will implement this project.
Scope of Services
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
Inventory: 3 Months Duration
The consultant will communicate with the communities to determine the existing
detention facilities in the Subwatershed. The estimated number of ponds at this time is
about 350. The inventory will consist of the following.
• Compile existing data including location maps, copies of original design drawings,
drainage area,
• Verification of owner/responsible party for maintenance,
• Verify location and obtain GPS coordinates for each facility,
• The local unit of government's records relative to drainage, facility construction and
maintenance and any other records available for the facility will be collected.
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all existing facilities and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Assessment; 4-5 Months Duration
An assessment of each the existing detention facilities will be performed, consisting of
the following:
• A field assessment to determine the physical and hydraulic characteristics of each
facility including detention volume, outlet flow control, quantity and size of the inlet
and outlet structures, permanent pool depth; and stormwater quality enhancement
capabilities,
• A review of design plans, maintenance and other records for the facility to determine
if it was built and is functioning as designed,
• Verification of the type of development in the drainage area,
• Characteristics relating to the existing condition of each facility including the
presence of slope erosion, degree of sediment build-up, existing vegetation and
condition of the infrastructure,
• Age and years in service.
G\2003-034 Contract (Rouge River Watershed IAA)\Gontracts \Revised ContrachExhibit_A_RFP.doc
Page 3 of 6
AP collected data will be added to the previously created database and distributed to the
Oakland County Drain Office. Each community will receive only the data that pertains
to facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Evaluation & Ranking: 4-5 Months Duration
The data collected for each facility during the Inventory and Assessment will be
evaluated. The evaluation will consider all of the collected data, and identify needed
improvements and maintenance at each facility. In addition, recommendations will be
made for retrofitting measures that would improve outlet water quality, function, and
ground water recharge.
The findings and recommendations from the evaluation will be added to the previously
created database and distributed to the Oakland County Drain Office and the
communities. Each community will receive only the data that pertains to facilities within
their jurisdictional boundaries.
Final Report: 4 Months Duration
A summary of field findings and the accompanying recommendations, including
construction cost estimates, will be included in a comprehensive report. The report and
database will be arranged so that each community can easily access the information
that applies to the detention facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Main 1-2 Streambank inventory Study
Streambank Inventory: 3 Months Duration
An inventory of the streambanks will be performed for the Rouge Main 1-2
Subwatershed, including all tributaries and open county drains, but excluding the
Franklin Branch and it's tributaries (which are covered under another project). The
consultant will communicate with the communities to determine which branches and
tributaries of the approximately 90-120 miles of river are sizable enough to be
inventoried. The inventory will be performed using the existing Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality (MDEQ) approved inventories for Mitchell Creek, Au Sable River
and Clinton River Watersheds as models.
Physical data and photographs will be collected at each erosion site, including the
following:
• Location identified by global positioning system,
• Complete site photographs,
• Bank condition,
• Apparent cause of erosion,
• Amount of erosion, length & width, amount of sediment in river
• Slope ratio,
• River conditions,
• Soil type & texture
GA2003-034 Contract (Rouge River Watershed IAA)Contracts5Revised ContrachExhibit_A_RFP.doc
Page 4 of 6
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all inventory sites and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Hydraulic/Hydrologic Study: 3 Months Duration (Concurrent with Inventory)
An assessment of the hydraulic/hydrologic characteristics of the Rouge Main 1-2
drainage area will be performed using HEC-2, HEC-RAS or similar models taken from
existing FEMA flood insurance studies. The study will include reviewing 2, 10, 50 and
100-year storm flow velocity and river stages. The cross-sections that are considered in
the study will be located on a watershed map. The results of the study will be
summarized for inclusion in the final report, and will be used to determine appropriate
site stabilization techniques. For areas without FEMA studies, simple flow estimates
and calculations will be used.
Site Prioritization: 3 Months -
Erosion sites identified in the inventory will be scored and ranked into minor, moderate
and severe categories. The severity index that will be used was developed for the
Northwest Michigan Streambank Erosion inventory and has been used extensively by
river restoration committees elsewhere in Michigan as a basis to prioritize sites for
restoration work. Based on the _ranking, an overall prioritized list will be created. A
prioritized list will also be created, specific to each community.
Conceptual Drawings & Cost Estimates: 3 Months
Conceptual site drawings will be prepared for each severely ranked site. The site
drawings will include site characteristics and the recommended Best Management
Practices (BMP) necessary for site stabilization.
Accompanying cost estimates will be developed for each severely ranked site. These
cost estimates will consider the types of BMPs to be implemented, the accessibility of
the site, the size of the site, engineering design and construction oversight. A cost
summary table will be developed for the entire subwatershed, as well as for each
community.
Final report: 3 Months
A summary of the field investigations, cost estimates, site drawings and the hydrologic
study will then be included in a report. The report will be arranged so that information is
easily accessible by each community.

BUILDING 95 WEST
ONE PUBLIC WORKS DRIVE
WATERFORD, MICHIGAN 48328-1907
JUNE 24, 2003
Background
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
Oakland County communities have required that most new developments retain
stormwater on-site. This requirement spawned the building of detention ponds
throughout the Rouge River Watershed. These basins effectively reduce peak flooding
and reduce pollutant loads from stormwater runoff. However, opportunities exist to
improve the performance of existing stormwater detention basins by improving pollutant
removal efficiencies and reducing the initial downstream flow.
A well-designed detention pond provides three main functions:
1. Prevention of downstream flooding by detaining and slowly releasing captured
runoff,
2. Recharge ground water, and
3. Physical, chemical and biological interactions which improve the quality of water of
detained water before it is discharged into streams, rivers and lakes.
The purpose of this project is to identify, prioritize, and make recommendations for
detention pond maintenance and design improvements of existing detention facilities in
the Main 1-2 Subwatershed. See attached map. The goal of these improvements is to
minimize flow variability and to increase detention pond pollutant removal efficiency.
This project is estimated to cost $109,000. A 50% USEPA grant of $54,500 has been
received as part of the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project. The
Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office, in cooperation with the following
communities, will implement this project: the Cities of Southfield, Rochester Hills, and
Troy; the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield; the Villages of Bingham Farms
and Beverly Hills, and the County of Oakland.
The project is to be undertaken in accordance with the Office of the Oakland County
Drain Commissioner's Standard Engineering Contract that can be found at the Drain
Office Website; co.oakland.mi.us/drain.
Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
The Rouge River Watershed is under pressure from urbanization, making it vulnerable
to heavy loading of non-point source pollutants. One such pollutant is excessive
sediment. Although sediment loading is a natural part of a river system, excessive
loading can degrade fish and wildlife habitat, destroy wetlands, and reduce the
recreational and aesthetic appeal of the river system. In addition, substances such as
oils, salts, and nutrients can enter the system attached to sediment particles causing
eutrophication and a general decrease in water quality in hydraulically connected lakes
and ponds.

The purpose of this project is to identify and prioritize stream bank erosion sites in the
Rouge Main 1-2 Subwatershed (excluding the Franklin Branch) and to make
recommendations that will incorporate best management practices to decrease
sediment loading to the river. See attached map
The cost for this project is estimated at $100,000. A 50% USEPA grant of $50,000 has
been received as part of the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project.
The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office in cooperation with the Cities of
Southfield, Farmington Hills, Troy, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and the Townships of
West Bloomfield and Bloomfield, and the Villages of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills
will implement this project.
Scope of Services
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
Inventory: 3 Months Duration
The consultant will communicate with the communities to determine the existing
detention facilities in the Subwatershed. The estimated number of ponds at this time is
about 350. The inventory will consist of the following.
• Compile existing data including location maps, copies of original design drawings,
drainage area,
• Verification of owner/responsible party for maintenance,
• -Verify location and obtain GPS coordinates for each facility,
• The local unit of government's records relative to drainage, facility construction and
maintenance and any other records available for the facility will be collected.
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all existing facilities and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Assessment: 4-5 Months Duration
An assessment of each the existing detention facilities will be performed, consisting of
the following:
• A field assessment to determine the physical and hydraulic characteristics of each
facility including detention volume, outlet flow control, quantity and size of the inlet
and outlet structures, permanent pool depth; and stormwater quality enhancement
capabilities,
- • A review of design plans, maintenance and other records for the facility to determine
if it was built and is functioning as designed,
• Verification of the type of development in the drainage area,
• Characteristics relating to the existing condition of each facility including the
presence of slope erosion, degree of sediment build-up, existing vegetation and
condition of the infrastructure,
• Age and years in service.
G:12003-034 Contract (Rouge River Watershed IAA)Contracts \Revised ContractExhibit_A_RFP.doc
Page 3 of 6
All collected data will be added to the previously created database and distributed to the
Oakland County Drain Office. Each community will receive only the data that pertains
to facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Evaluation & Ranking: 4-5 Months Duration
The data collected for each facility during the Inventory and Assessment will be
evaluated. The evaluation will consider all of the collected data, and identify needed
improvements and maintenance at each facility. In addition, recommendations will be
made for retrofitting measures that would improve outlet water quality, function, and
ground water recharge.
The findings and recommendations from the evaluation will be added to the previously
created database and distributed to the Oakland County Drain Office and the
communities. Each community will receive only the data that pertains to facilities within
their jurisdictional boundaries.
Final Report: 4 Months Duration
A summary of field findings and the accompanying recommendations, including
construction cost estimates, will be included in a comprehensive report. The report and
database will be arranged so that each community can easily access the information
that applies to the detention facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
Streambank Inventory: 3 Months Duration
An inventory of the streambanks will be performed for the Rouge Main 1-2
Subwatershed, including all tributaries and open county drains, but excluding the
Franklin Branch and it's tributaries (which are covered under another project). The
consultant will communicate with the communities to determine which branches and
tributaries of the approximately 90-120 miles of river are sizable enough to be
inventoried. The inventory will be performed using the existing Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality (MDEQ) approved inventories for Mitchell Creek, Au Sable River
and Clinton River Watersheds as models.
Physical data and photographs will be collected at each erosion site, including the
following:
• Location identified by global positioning system,
• Complete site photographs,
• Bank condition,
• Apparent cause of erosion,
• Amount of erosion, length & width, amount of sediment in river
• Slope ratio,
• River conditions,
• Soil type & texture
GA2003-034 Contract (Rouge River Watershed lAA) \ Contracts \Revised ContractExhibit_A_RFP.doe
Page 4 of 6
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all inventory sites and will be accessible using ArcView, The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Hydraulic/Hydrologic Study: 3 Months Duration (Concurrent with Inventory)
An assessment of the hydraulic/hydrologic characteristics of the Rouge Main 1-2
drainage area will be performed using HEC-2, HEC-RAS or similar models taken from
existing FEMA flood insurance studies. The study will include reviewing 2, 10, 50 and
100-year storm flow velocity and river stages. The cross-sections that are considered in
the study will be located on a watershed map. The results of the study will be
summarized for inclusion in the final report, and will be used to determine appropriate
site stabilization techniques. For areas without FEMA studies, simple flow estimates
and calculations will be used.
Site Prioritization: 3 Months
Erosion sites identified in the inventory will be scored and ranked into minor, moderate
and severe categories. The severity index that will be used was developed for the
Northwest Michigan Streambank Erosion Inventory and has been used extensively by
river restoration committees elsewhere in Michigan as a basis to prioritize sites for
restoration work. Based on the ranking, an overall prioritized list will be created. A
prioritized list will also be created, specific to each community.
Conceptual Drawings & Cost Estimates: 3 fV.ritt -lis
Conceptual site drawings will be prepared for each severely ranked site. The site
drawings will include site characteristics and the recommended Best Management
Practices (BMP) necessary for site stabilization.
Accompanying cost estimates will be developed for each severely ranked site. These
cost estimates will consider the types of BMPs to be implemented, the accessibility of
the site, the size of the site, engineering design and construction oversight. A cost
summary table will be developed for the entire subwatershed, as well as for each
community.
Final report: 3 Months
A summary of the field investigations, cost estimates, site drawings and the hydrologic
study will then be included in a report. The report will be arranged so that information is
easily accessible by each community.
Agreement
A Consultant will be selected to provide the above-referenced services will be expected
to enter into a contract similar to the Standard Oakland County Drain Commissioner's

WATERFORD, MICHIGAN 48328-1907
JANUARY 6, 2004
Background
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
Oakland County communities have required that most new developments retain
stormwater on-site. This requirement spawned the building of detention ponds
throughout the Rouge River Watershed. These basins effectively reduce peak flooding
and reduce pollutant loads from stormwater runoff. However, opportunities exist to
improve the performance of constructed stormwater detention basins by improving
pollutant removal efficiencies and reducing the initial downstream flow.
A well-designed detention pond provides three main functions:
1. Prevention of downstream flooding by detaining and slowly releasing captured
runoff,
2. Recharge ground water, and
3. Physical, chemical and biological interactions, which improve the quality of water of
detained water before it is discharged into streams, rivers and lakes.
The purpose of this project is to identify, prioritize, and make recommendations for
detention pond maintenance and design improvements of existing detention facilities in
the Main 1-2 Subwatershed. The goal of these improvements is to minimize flow
variability and to increase detention pond pollutant removal efficiency.
The total project cost for all communities is estimated at $145,920. This includes
$121,600 for consulting services, $12,160 for OCDC project administration, and
$12,160 project contingency. A USEPA grant of $54,350 has been received as part of
the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project. The communities
project cost will be determined based on the number of streambank miles and detention
ponds evaluated. The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office, in cooperation
with the following communities, will implement this project: the Cities of Southfield,
Rochester Hills, and Troy; the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield; the
Villages of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills, and the County of Oakland.
Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
The Rouge River Watershed is under pressure from urbanization, making it vulnerable
to heavy loading of non-point source pollutants. One such pollutant is excessive
sediment. Although sediment loading is a natural part of a river system, excessive
loading can degrade fish and wildlife habitat, destroy wetlands, and reduce the
recreational and aesthetic appeal of the river system. In addition, substances such as
oils, salts, and nutrients can enter the system attached to sediment particles causing
eutrophication and a general decrease in water quality in hydraulically connected lakes
and ponds.

The purpose of this project is to identify and prioritize stream bank erosion sites in the
Rouge Main 1-2 Subwatershed (excluding the Franklin Branch) and to make
recommendations that will incorporate best management practices to decrease
sediment loading to the river. See attached map
The total project cost is estimated at $120,00. This includes $100,000 for consulting
services, $10,000 for OCDC project administration, and $10,000 project contingency. A
USEPA grant of $49,645 has been received as part of the Rouge River National Wet
Weather Demonstration Project. The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office in
cooperation with the Cities of Southfield, Farmington Hills, Troy, Birmingham,
Bloomfield Hills, and the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield, and the Villages
of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills will implement this project.
Scope of Services
Oakland County Drain Commissioner's (OCDC) Office
OCDC will provide overall grant administration services including project billing, project
meeting attendance, coordination with consultant and communities, financial
accounting, coordination with Wayne County and Interagency Agreement
administration.
Municipality
Each municipality will participate and coordinate with the consultant and OCDC to allow
the consultant to complete the project as outlined in the following sections. This
includes providing verbal and written information, as requested by the consultant.
Consultant
The consultant will complete the following items as outlined in the OCDC Standard
Professional Services Agreement.
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
The consultant will communicate with the communities to determine the existing
detention facilities in the Subwatershed. The estimated number of ponds in all
participating communities is about 381. The inventory will consist of the following, or
related items as agreed-upon between the community and consultant that meet the
objectives of the grant.
• Compile existing data including location maps, copies of original design drawings,
drainage area,
• Verification of owner/responsible party for maintenance,
• Verify location and obtain GPS coordinates for each facility,
• The local unit of government's records relative to drainage, facility construction and
maintenance and any other records available for the facility will be collected.
CACOCUME-1\wdominetLOCAL5-1 1TempNIAA Exhibit A - Scope.doc
Page 3 of 6
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all existing facilities and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Assessment;
An assessment of each the existing detention facilities will be performed, consisting of
the following:
• A field assessment to determine the physical and hydraulic characteristics of each
facility including detention volume, outlet flow control, quantity and size of the inlet
and outlet structures, permanent pool depth; and stormwater quality enhancement
capabilities,
• A review of design plans, maintenance and other records for the facility to determine
if it was built and is functioning as designed,
• Verification of the type of development in the drainage area,
• Characteristics relating to the existing condition of each facility including the
presence of slope erosion, degree of sediment build-up, existing vegetation and
condition of the infrastructure,
• Age and years in service.
All collected data will be added to the previously created database and distributed to the
Oakland County Drain Office. Each community will receive only the data that pertains
to facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Evaluation & Ranking:
The data collected for each facility during the Inventory and Assessment will be
evaluated. The evaluation will consider all of the collected data, and identify needed
improvements and maintenance at each facility. In addition, recommendations will be
made for retrofitting measures that would improve outlet water quality, function, and
ground water recharge.
The findings and recommendations from the evaluation will be added to the previously
created database and distributed to the Oakland County Drain Office and the
communities. Each community will receive only the data that pertains to facilities within
their jurisdictional boundaries.
Final Report:
A summary of field findings and the accompanying recommendations, including
construction cost estimates, will be included in a comprehensive report. The report and
database will be arranged so that each community can easily access the information
that applies to the detention facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.

Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
Streambank Inventory:
An inventory of the streambanks will be performed for the Rouge Main 1-2
Subwatershed, including all tributaries and open county drains, but excluding the
Franklin Branch and it's tributaries (which are covered under another project). The
consultant will communicate with the communities to determine which branches and
tributaries of the approximately 100 miles (all communities) of river are sizable enough
to be inventoried. The inventory will be performed using the existing Michigan
Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) approved inventories for Mitchell Creek,
Au Sable River and Clinton River Watersheds as models.
Physical data and photographs will be collected at each erosion site, including the
following, or related items as agreed-upon between the community and consultant that
meet the objectives of the grant:
• Location identified by global positioning system,
• Complete site photographs,
• Bank condition,
• Apparent cause of erosion,
• Amount of erosion, length & width, amount of sediment in river
• Slope ratio,
• River conditions,
• Soil type & texture
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all inventory sites and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Hvdrau I ic/Hvdroloqic Study:
An assessment of the hydraulic/hydrologic characteristics of the Rouge Main 1-2
drainage area will be performed using HEC-2, HEC-RAS or similar models taken from
existing FEMA flood insurance studies. The study will include reviewing 2, 10, 50 and
100-year storm flow velocity and river stages. The cross-sections that are considered in
the study will be located on a watershed map. The results of the study will be
summarized for inclusion in the final report, and will be used to determine appropriate
site stabilization techniques. For areas without FEMA studies, simple flow estimates
and calculations will be used.
Site Prioritization:
Erosion sites identified in the inventory will be scored and ranked into minor, moderate
and severe categories. The severity index that will be used was developed for the
Northwest Michigan Streambank Erosion Inventory and has been used extensively by
river restoration committees elsewhere in Michigan as a basis to prioritize sites for
restoration work. Based on the ranking, an overall prioritized list will be created. A
prioritized list will also be created, specific to each community.
CADOCUME-1 \wdomine \LOCALS-1 \ Temp IAA Exhibit A - Scope.doc
Page 5 of 6
Conceptual Drawings & Cost Estimates:
Conceptual site drawings will be prepared for each severely ranked site. The site
drawings will include site characteristics and the recommended Best Management
Practices (BMP) necessary for site stabilization.
Accompanying cost estimates will be developed for each severely ranked site. These
cost estimates will consider the types of BMPs to be implemented, the accessibility of
the site, the size of the site, engineering design and construction oversight. A cost
summary table will be developed for the entire subwatershed, as well as for each
community.
Final report:
A summary of the field investigations, cost estimates, site drawings and the hydrologic
study will then be included in one report. The report will be arranged so that information
is easily accessible by each separate community.

Background
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
Oakland County communities have required that most new developments retain
stormwater on-site. This requirement spawned the building of detention ponds
throughout the Rouge River Watershed. These basins effectively reduce peak flooding
and reduce pollutant loads from stormwater runoff. However, opportunities exist to
improve the performance of constructed stormwater detention basins by improving
pollutant removal efficiencies and reducing the initial downstream flow.
A well-designed detention pond provides three main functions:
1. Prevention of downstream flooding by detaining and slowly releasing captured
runoff,
2. Recharge ground water, and
3. Physical, chemical and biological interactions, which improve the quality of water of
detained water before it is discharged into streams, rivers and lakes.
The purpose of this project is to identify, prioritize, and make recommendations for
detention pond maintenance and design improvements of existing detention facilities in
the Main 1-2 Subwatershed. The goal of these improvements is to minimize flow
variability and to increase detention pond pollutant removal efficiency.
The total project cost for all communities is estimated at $145,920. This includes
$121,600 for consulting services, $12,160 for OCDC project administration, and
$12,160 project contingency. A USEPA grant of $54,350 has been received as part of
the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project. The communities
project cost will be determined based on the number of streambank miles and detention
ponds evaluated, The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office, in cooperation
with the following communities, will implement this project: the Cities of Southfield,
Rochester Hills, and Troy; the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield; the
Villages of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills, and the County of Oakland.
Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
The Rouge River Watershed is under pressure from urbanization, making it vulnerable
to heavy loading of non-point source pollutants. One such pollutant is excessive
sediment. Although sediment loading is a natural part of a river system, excessive
loading can degrade fish and wildlife habitat, destroy wetlands, and reduce the
recreational and aesthetic appeal of the river system. In addition, substances such as
oils, salts, and nutrients can enter the system attached to sediment particles causing
eutrophication and a general decrease in water quality in hydraulically connected lakes
and ponds.

The purpose of this project is to identify and prioritize stream bank erosion sites in the
Rouge Main 1-2 Subwatershed (excluding the Franklin Branch) and to make
recommendations that will incorporate best management practices to decrease
sediment loading to the river. See attached map
The total project cost is estimated at $120,00. This includes $100,000 for consulting
services, $10,000 for OCDC project administration, and $10,000 project contingency. A
USEPA grant of $49,645 has been received as part of the Rouge River National Wet
Weather Demonstration Project. The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office in
cooperation with the Cities of Southfield, Farmington Hills, Troy, Birmingham,
Bloomfield Hills, and the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield, and the Villages
of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills will implement this project.
Scope of Services
Oakland County Drain Commissioner's (OCDC) Office
OCDC will provide overall grant administration services including project billing, project
meeting attendance, coordination with consultant and communities, financial
accounting, coordination with Wayne County and Interagency Agreement
administration.
Municipality
Each municipality will participate and coordinate with the consultant and OCDC to allow
the consultant to complete the project as outlined in the following sections. This
includes providing verbal and written information, as requested by the consultant.
Consultant
The consultant will complete the following items as outlined in the OCDC Standard
Professional Services Agreement.
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
The consultant will communicate with the communities to determine the existing
detention facilities in the Subwatershed. The estimated number of ponds in all
participating communities is about 381. The inventory will consist of the following, or
related items as agreed-upon between the community and consultant that meet the
objectives of the grant.
• Compile existing data including location maps, copies of original design drawings,
drainage area,
• Verification of owner/responsible party for maintenance,
• Verify location and obtain GPS coordinates for each facility,
• The local unit of government's records relative to drainage, facility construction and
maintenance and any other records available for the facility will be collected.
CADocuments and Settings1pcusehlocal Settingsaemp \ IAA Exhibit A - Scope.doc
Page 3 of 6
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all existing facilities and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Assessment:
An assessment of each the existing detention facilities will be performed, consisting of
the following:
• A field assessment to determine the physical and hydraulic characteristics of each
facility including detention volume, outlet flow control, quantity and size of the inlet
and outlet structures, permanent pool depth; and stormwater quality enhancement
capabilities,
• A review of design plans, maintenance and other records for the facility to determine
if it was built and is functioning as designed,
• Verification of the type of development in the drainage area,
• Characteristics relating to the existing condition of each facility including the
presence of slope erosion, degree of sediment build-up, existing vegetation and
condition of the infrastructure,
• Age and years in service.
All collected data will be added to the previously created database and distributed to the
Oakland County Drain Office. Each community will receive only the data that pertains
to facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Evaluation & Rankinp:
The data collected for each facility during the Inventory and Assessment will be
evaluated. The evaluation will consider all of the collected data, and identify needed
improvements and maintenance at each facility. In addition, recommendations will be
made for retrofitting measures that would improve outlet water quality, function, and
ground water recharge.
The findings and recommendations from the evaluation will be added to the previously
created database and distributed to the Oakland County Drain Office and the
communities. Each community will receive only the data that pertains to facilities within
their jurisdictional boundaries.
Final Report:
A summary of field findings and the accompanying recommendations, including
construction cost estimates, will be included in a comprehensive report. The report and
database will be arranged so that each community can easily access the information
that applies to the detention facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.

Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
Streambank Inventory:
An inventory of the streambanks will be performed for the Rouge Main 1-2
Subwatershed, including all tributaries and open county drains, but excluding the
Franklin Branch and it's tributaries (which are covered under another project). The
consultant will communicate with the communities to determine which branches and
tributaries of the approximately 100 miles (all communities) of river are sizable enough
to be inventoried. The inventory will be performed using the existing Michigan
Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) approved inventories for Mitchell Creek,
Au Sable River and Clinton River Watersheds as models.
Physical data and photographs will be collected at each erosion site, including the
following, or related items as agreed-upon between the community and consultant that
meet the objectives of the grant:
• Location identified by global positioning system,
• Complete site photographs,
• Bank condition,
• Apparent cause of erosion,
• Amount of erosion, length & width, amount of sediment in river
• Slope ratio,
• River conditions,
• Soil type & texture
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all inventory sites and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Hydraulic/Hydroloeic Study:
An assessment of the hydraulic/hydrologic characteristics of the Rouge Main 1-2
drainage area will be performed using HEC-2, NEC-RAS or similar models taken from
existing FEMA flood insurance studies. The study will include reviewing 2, 10, 50 and
100-year storm flow velocity and river stages. The cross-sections that are considered in
the study will be located on a watershed map. The results of the study will be
summarized for inclusion in the final report, and will be used to determine appropriate
site stabilization techniques. For areas without FEMA studies, simple flow estimates
and calculations will be used.
Site Prioritization:
Erosion sites identified in the inventory will be scored and ranked into minor, moderate
and severe categories. The severity index that will be used was developed for the
Northwest Michigan Streambank Erosion Inventory and has been used extensively by
river restoration committees elsewhere in Michigan as a basis to prioritize sites for
restoration work. Based on the ranking, an overall prioritized list will be created. A
prioritized list will also be created, specific to each community.

Conceptual Drawings & Cost Estimates:
Conceptual site drawings will be prepared for each severely ranked site. The site
drawings will include site characteristics and the recommended Best Management
Practices (BMP) necessary for site stabilization.
Accompanying cost estimates will be developed for each severely ranked site. These
cost estimates will consider the types of BMPs to be implemented, the accessibility of
the site, the size of the site, engineering design and construction oversight. A cost
summary table will be developed for the entire subwatershed, as well as for each
community.
Final report:
A summary of the field investigations, cost estimates, site drawings and the hydrologic
study will then be included in one report. The report will be arranged so that information
is easily accessible by each separate community.

Background
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
Oakland County communities have required that most new developments retain
stormwater on-site. This requirement spawned the building of detention ponds
throughout the Rouge River Watershed. These basins effectively reduce peak flooding
and reduce pollutant loads from stormwater runoff. However, opportunities exist to
improve the performance of constructed stormwater detention basins by improving
pollutant removal efficiencies and reducing the initial downstream flow.
A well-designed detention pond provides three main functions:
1. Prevention of downstream flooding by detaining and slowly releasing captured
runoff,
2. Recharge ground water, and
3. Physical, chemical and biological interactions, which improve the quality of water of
detained water before it is discharged into streams, rivers and lakes.
The purpose of this project is to identify, prioritize, and make recommendations for
detention pond maintenance and design improvements of existing detention facilities in
the Main 1-2 Subwatershed. The goal of these improvements is to minimize flow
variability and to increase detention pond pollutant removal efficiency.
The total project cost for all communities is estimated at $145,920. This includes
$121,600 for consulting services, $12,160 for OCDC project administration, and
$12,160 project contingency. A USEPA grant of $54,350 has been received as part of
the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project. The communities
project cost will be determined based on the number of streambank miles and detention
ponds evaluated. The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office, in cooperation
with the following communities, will implement this project: the Cities of Southfield,
Rochester Hills, and Troy; the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield; the
Villages of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills, and the County of Oakland.
Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
The Rouge River Watershed is under pressure from urbanization, making it vulnerable
to heavy loading of non-point source pollutants. One such pollutant is excessive
sediment. Although sediment loading is a natural part of a river system, excessive
loading can degrade fish and wildlife habitat, destroy wetlands, and reduce the
recreational and aesthetic appeal of the river system. In addition, substances such as
oils, salts, and nutrients can enter the system attached to sediment particles causing
eutrophication and a general decrease in water quality in hydraulically connected lakes
and ponds.

Page 2 of 6
The purpose of this project is to identify and prioritize stream bank erosion sites in the
Rouge Main 1-2 Subwatershed (excluding the Franklin Branch) and to make
recommendations that will incorporate best management practices to decrease
sediment loading to the river. See attached map
The total project cost is estimated at $120,00. This includes $100,000 for consulting
services, $10,000 for OCDC project administration, and $10,000 project contingency. A
USEPA grant of $49,645 has been received as part of the Rouge River National Wet
Weather Demonstration Project. The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office in
cooperation with the Cities of Southfield, Farmington Hills, Troy, Birmingham,
Bloomfield Hills, and the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield, and the Villages
of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills will implement this project.
Scope of Services
Oakland County Drain Commissioner's (OCDC) Office
OCDC will provide overall grant administration services including project billing, project
meeting attendance, coordination with consultant and communities, financial
accounting, coordination with Wayne County and Interagency Agreement
administration.
Municipality
Each municipality will participate and coordinate with the consultant and OCDC to allow
the consultant to complete the project as outlined in the following sections. This
includes providing verbal and written information, as requested by the consultant.
Consultant
The consultant will complete the following items as outlined in the OCDC Standard
Professional Services Agreement.
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
The consultant will communicate with the communities to determine the existing
detention facilities in the Subwatershed. The estimated number of ponds in all
participating communities is about 381. The inventory will consist of the following, or
related items as agreed-upon between the community and consultant that meet the
objectives of the grant.
• Compile existing data including location maps, copies of original design drawings,
drainage area,
• Verification of owner/responsible party for maintenance,
• Verify location and obtain GPS coordinates for each facility,
• The local unit of government's records relative to drainage, facility construction and
maintenance and any other records available for the facility will be collected.
IA Eng\ DRAIRougeMain\Pond inspectionVAA Exhibit A - Scope.cloc
Page 3 of 6
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all existing facilities and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
• Assessment:
An assessment of each the existing detention facilities will be performed, consisting of
the following:
• A field assessment to determine the physical and hydraulic characteristics of each
facility including detention volume, outlet flow control, quantity and size of the inlet
and outlet structures, permanent pool depth; and stormwater quality enhancement
capabilities,
• A review of design plans, maintenance and other records for the facility to determine
if it was built and is functioning as designed,
• Verification of the type of development in the drainage area,
• Characteristics relating to the existing condition of each facility including the
presence of slope erosion, degree of sediment build-up, existing vegetation and
condition of the infrastructure,
• Age and years in service.
All collected data will be added to the previously created database and distributed to the
Oakland County Drain Office. Each community will receive only the data that pertains
to facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Evaluation & Ranking:
The data collected for each facility during the Inventory and Assessment will be
evaluated. The evaluation will consider all of the collected data, and identify needed
improvements and maintenance at each facility. In addition, recommendations will be
made for retrofitting measures that would improve outlet water quality, function, and
ground water recharge.
The findings and recommendations from the evaluation will be added to the previously
created database and distributed to the Oakland County Drain Office and the
communities. Each community will receive only the data that pertains to facilities within
their jurisdictional boundaries.
Final Report:
A summary of field findings and the accompanying recommendations, including
construction cost estimates, will be included in a comprehensive report. The report and
database will be arranged so that each community can easily access the information
that applies to the detention facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.

Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
Streambank Inventory:
An inventory of the streambanks will be performed for the Rouge Main 1-2
Subwatershed, including all tributaries and open county drains, but excluding the
Franklin Branch and it's tributaries (which are covered under another project). The
consultant will communicate with the communities to determine which branches and
tributaries of the approximately 100 miles (all communities) of river are sizable enough
to be inventoried. The inventory will be performed using the existing Michigan
Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) approved inventories for Mitchell Creek,
Au Sable River and Clinton River Watersheds as models.
Physical data and photographs will be collected at each erosion site, including the
following, or related items as agreed-upon between the community and consultant that
meet the objectives of the grant:
• Location identified by global positioning system,
• Complete site photographs,
• Bank condition,
• Apparent cause of erosion,
• Amount of erosion, length & width, amount of sediment in river
• Slope ratio,
• River conditions,
• Soil type & texture
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all inventory sites and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Hydraulic/Hydrolooic Study:
An assessment of the hydraulic/hydrologic characteristics of the Rouge Main 1-2
drainage area will be performed using HEC-2, HEC-RAS or similar models taken from
existing FEMA flood insurance studies. The study will include reviewing 2, 10, 50 and
100-year storm flow velocity and river stages. The cross-sections that are considered in
the study will be located on a watershed map. The results of the study will be
summarized for inclusion in the final report, and will be used to determine appropriate
site stabilization techniques. For areas without FEMA studies, simple flow estimates
and calculations will be used.
Site Prioritization:
Erosion sites identified in the inventory will be scored and ranked into minor, moderate
and severe categories. The severity index that will be used was developed for the
Northwest Michigan Streambank Erosion Inventory and has been used extensively by
river restoration committees elsewhere in Michigan as a basis to prioritize sites for
restoration work. Based on the ranking, an overall prioritized list will be created. A
prioritized list will also be created, specific to each community.
1:1Eng \ DRARRougeMain \Pond inspection \IAA Exhibit A - Scope.doc
Page 5 of 6
Conceptual Drawings & Cost Estimates:
Conceptual site drawings will be prepared for each severely ranked site. The site
drawings will include site characteristics and the recommended Best Management
Practices (BMP) necessary for site stabilization.
Accompanying cost estimates will be developed for each severely ranked site. These
cost estimates will consider the types of BMPs to be implemented, the accessibility of
the site, the size of the site, engineering design and construction oversight. A cost
summary table will be developed for the entire subwatershed, as well as for each
community.
Final report:
A summary of the field investigations, cost estimates, site drawings and the hydrologic
study will then be included in one report. The report will be arranged so that information
is easily accessible by each separate community.

Background
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
Oakland County communities have required that most new developments retain
stormwater on-site. This requirement spawned the building of detention ponds
throughout the Rouge River Watershed. These basins effectively reduce peak flooding
and reduce pollutant loads from stormwater runoff. However, opportunities exist to
improve the performance of constructed stormwater detention basins by improving
pollutant removal efficiencies and reducing the initial downstream flow.
A well-designed detention pond provides three main functions:
1. Prevention of downstream flooding by detaining and slowly releasing captured
runoff,
2. Recharge ground water, and
3. Physical, chemical and biological interactions, which improve the quality of water of
detained water before it is discharged into streams, rivers and lakes.
The purpose of this project is to identify, prioritize, and make recommendations for
detention pond maintenance and design improvements of existing detention facilities in
the Main 1-2 Subwatershed. The goal of these improvements is to minimize flow
variability and to increase detention pond pollutant removal efficiency.
The total project cost for all communities is estimated at $145,920. This includes
$121,600 for consulting services, $12,160 for OCDC project administration, and
$12,160 project contingency. A USEPA grant of $54,350 has been received as part of
the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project. The communities
project cost will be determined based on the number of streambank miles and detention
ponds evaluated. The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office, in cooperation
with the following communities, will implement this project: the Cities of Southfield,
Rochester Hills, and Troy; the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield; the
Villages of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills, and the County of Oakland.
Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
The Rouge River Watershed is under pressure from urbanization, making it vulnerable
to heavy loading of non-point source pollutants. One such pollutant is excessive
sediment. Although sediment loading is a natural part of a river system, excessive
loading can degrade fish and wildlife habitat, destroy wetlands, and reduce the
recreational and aesthetic appeal of the river system. In addition, substances such as
oils, salts, and nutrients can enter the system attached to sediment particles causing
eutrophication and a general decrease in water quality in hydraulically connected lakes
and ponds.

The purpose of this project is to identify and prioritize stream bank erosion sites in the
Rouge Main 1-2 Subwatershed (excluding the Franklin Branch) and to make
recommendations that will incorporate best management practices to decrease
sediment loading to the river. See attached map
The total project cost is estimated at $120,00. This includes $100,000 for consulting
services, $10,000 for OCDC project administration, and $10,000 project contingency. A
USEPA grant of $49,645 has been received as part of the Rouge River National Wet
Weather Demonstration Project. The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office in
cooperation with the Cities of Southfield, Farmington Hills, Troy, Birmingham,
Bloomfield Hills, and the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield, and the Villages
of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills will implement this project.
Scope of Services
Oakland County Drain Commissioner's (0CDC1 Office
OCDC will provide overall grant administration services including project billing, project
meeting attendance, coordination with consultant and communities, financial
accounting, coordination with Wayne County and Interagency Agreement
administration.
Municipality
Each municipality will participate and coordinate with the consultant and OCDC to allow
the consultant to complete the project as outlined in the following sections. This
includes providing verbal and written information, as requested by the consultant.
Consultant
The consultant will complete the following items as outlined in the OCDC Standard
Professional Services Agreement.
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
The consultant will communicate with the communities to determine the existing
detention facilities in the Subwatershed. The estimated number of ponds in all
participating communities is about 381. The inventory will consist of the following, or
related items as agreed-upon between the community and consultant that meet the
objectives of the grant.
• Compile existing data including location maps, copies of original design drawings,
drainage area,
• Verification of owner/responsible party for maintenance,
• Verify location and obtain GPS coordinates for each facility,
• The local unit of government's records relative to drainage, facility construction and
maintenance and any other records available for the facility will be collected.
Mocumente and Settings \W_Bonosloca; Settings \Temo IAA Exhibit A - Scope.doc
Page 3 of 1
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all existing facilities and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Assessment:
An assessment of each the existing detention facilities will be performed, consisting of
the following:
• A field assessment to determine the physical and hydraulic characteristics of each
facility including detention volume, outlet flow control, quantity and size of the inlet
and outlet structures, permanent pool depth; and stormwater quality enhancement
capabilities,
• A review of design plans, maintenance and other records for the facility to determine
if it was built and is functioning as designed,
• Verification of the type of development in the drainage area,
• Characteristics relating to the existing condition of each facility including the
presence of slope erosion, degree of sediment build-up, existing vegetation and
condition of the infrastructure,
• Age and years in service.
All collected data will be added to the previously created database and distributed to the
Oakland County Drain Office. Each community will receive only the data that pertains
to facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Evaluation & Ranking:
The data collected for each facility during the Inventory and Assessment will be
evaluated. The evaluation will consider all of the collected data, and identify needed
improvements and maintenance at each facility. In addition, recommendations will be
made for retrofitting measures that would improve outlet water quality, function, and
ground water recharge.
The findings and recommendations from the evaluation will be added to the previously
created database and distributed to the Oakland County Drain Office and the
communities. Each community will receive only the data that pertains to facilities within
their jurisdictional boundaries.
Final Report:
A summary of field findings and the accompanying recommendations, including
construction cost estimates, will be included in a comprehensive report. The report and
database will be arranged so that each community can easily access the information
that applies to the detention facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.

Streambank Inventory:
An inventory of the streambanks will be performed for the Rouge Main 1-2
Subwatershed, including all tributaries and open county drains, but excluding the
Franklin Branch and it's tributaries (which are covered under another project). The
consultant will communicate with the communities to determine which branches and
tributaries of the approximately 100 miles (all communities) of river are sizable enough
to be inventoried. The inventory will be performed using the existing Michigan
Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) approved inventories for Mitchell Creek,
Au Sable River and Clinton River Watersheds as models.
Physical data and photographs will be collected at each erosion site, including the
following, or related items as agreed-upon between the community and consultant that
meet the objectives of the grant:
• Location identified by global positioning system,
• Complete site photographs,
• Bank condition,
• Apparent cause of erosion,
• Amount of erosion, length & width, amount of sediment in river
• Slope ratio.
• River conditions,
• Soil type & texture
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all inventory sites and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Hydraulic/Hydrologic Study:
An assessment of the hydraulic/hydrologic characteristics of the Rouge Main 1-2
drainage area will be performed using HEC-2, HEC-RAS or similar models taken from
existing FEMA flood insurance studies. The study will include reviewing 2, 10, 50 and
100-year storm flow velocity and river stages. The cross-sections that are considered in
the study will be located on a watershed map. The results of the study will be
summarized for inclusion in the final report, and will be used to determine appropriate
site stabilization techniques. For areas without FEMA studies, simple flow estimates
and calculations will be used.
Site Prioritization:
Erosion sites identified in the inventory will be scored and ranked into minor, moderate
and severe categories. The severity index that will be used was developed for the
Northwest Michigan Streambank Erosion Inventory and has been used extensively by
river restoration committees elsewhere in Michigan as a basis to prioritize sites for
restoration work. Based on the ranking, an overall prioritized list will be created. A
prioritized list will also be created, specific to each community.

Page 5 of 1
Conceptual Drawings & Cost Estimates:
Conceptual site drawings will be prepared for each severely ranked site. The site
drawings will include site characteristics and the recommended Best Management
Practices (BMP) necessary for site stabilization.
Accompanying cost estimates will be developed for each severely ranked site. These
cost estimates will consider the types of BMPs to be implemented, the accessibility of
the site, the size of the site, engineering design and construction oversight. A cost
summary table will be developed for the entire subwatershed, as well as for each
community.
Final report:
A summary of the field investigations, cost estimates, site drawings and the hydrologic
study will then be included in one report. The report will be arranged so that information
is easily accessible by each separate community.

Background
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
Oakland County communities have required that most new developments retain
stormwater on-site. This requirement spawned the building of detention ponds
throughout the Rouge River Watershed. These basins effectively reduce peak flooding
and reduce pollutant loads from stormwater runoff. However, opportunities exist to
improve the performance of existing stormwater detention basins by improving pollutant
removal efficiencies and reducing the initial downstream flow.
A well-designed detention pond provides three main functions:
1. Prevention of downstream flooding by detaining and slowly releasing captured
runoff,
2. Recharge ground water, and
3. Physical, chemical and biological interactions which improve the quality of water of
detained water before it is discharged into streams, rivers and lakes.
The purpose of this project is to identify, prioritize, and make recommendations for
detention pond maintenance and design improvements of existing detention facilities in
the Main 1-2 Subwatershed. See attached map. The goal of these improvements is to
minimize flow variability and to increase detention pond pollutant removal efficiency.
This project is estimated to cost $109,000. A 50% USEPA grant of $54,500 has been
received as part of the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project. The
Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office, in cooperation with the following
communities, will implement this project: the Cities of Southfield, Rochester Hills, and
Troy; the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield; the Villagesof Bingham Farms
and Beverly Hills, and the County of Oakland.
The project is to be undertaken in accordance with the Office of the Oakland County
Drain Commissioner's Standard Engineering Contract that can be found at the Drain
Office Website; co.oakland.mi.us/drain.
Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
The Rouge River Watershed is under pressure from urbanization, making it vulnerable
to heavy loading of non-point source pollutants. One such pollutant is excessive
sediment. Although sediment loading is a natural part of a river system, excessive
loading can degrade fish and wildlife habitat, destroy wetlands, and reduce the
recreational and aesthetic appeal of the river system. In addition, substances such as
oils, salts, and nutrients can enter the system attached to sediment particles causing
eutrophication and a general decrease in water quality in hydraulically connected lakes
and ponds.

will implement this project.
Scope of Services
Stormwater Detention Pond Study _
Inventory: 3 Months Duration
The consultant will communicate with the communities to determine the existing
detention facilities in the Subwatershed. The estimated number of ponds at this time is
about 350. The inventory will consist of the following.
• Compile existing data including location maps, copies of original design drawings,
drainage area,
• Verification of owner/responsible party for maintenance,
• -Verify location and obtain GPS coordinates for each facility,
• The local unit of government's records relative to drainage, facility construction and
maintenance and any other records available for the facility will be collected.
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all existing facilities and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Assessment: 4-5 Months Duration
An assessment of each the existing detention facilities will be performed, consisting of
the following:
• A field assessment to determine the physical and hydraulic characteristics of each
facility including detention volume, outlet flow control, quantity and size of the inlet
and outlet structures, permanent pool depth; and stormwater quality enhancement
capabilities,
• A review of design plans, maintenance and other records for the facility to determine
if it was built and is functioning as designed,
• Verification of the type of development in the drainage area,
• Characteristics relating to the existing condition of each facility including the
presence of slope erosion, degree of sediment build-up, existing vegetation and
condition of the infrastructure,
• Age and years in service.

All collected data will be added to the previously created database and distributed to the
Oakland County Drain Office. Each community will receive only the data that pertains
to facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Evaluation & Ranking: 4-5 Months Duration
The data collected for each facility during the Inventory and Assessment wilt be
evaluated. The evaluation will consider all of the collected data, and identify needed
improvements and maintenance at each facility. In addition, recommendations will be
made for retrofitting measures that would improve outlet water quality, function, and
ground water recharge.
The findings and recommendations from the evaluation will be added to the previously
created database and distributed to the Oakland County Drain Office and the
communities. Each community will receive only the data that pertains to facilities within
their jurisdictional boundaries.
Final Report: 4 Months Duration
A summary of field findings and the accompanying recommendations, including
construction cost estimates, will be included in a comprehensive report. The report and
database will be arranged so that each community can easily access the information
that applies to the detention facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
Streambank Inventory: 3 Months Duration
An inventory of the streambanks will be performed for the Rouge Main 1-2
Subwatershed, including all tributaries and open county drains, but excluding the
Franklin Branch and it's tributaries (which are covered under another project). The
consultant will communicate with the communities to determine which branches and
tributaries of the approximately• 90-120 miles of river are sizable 'enough to be
inventoried. The inventory will be performed using the existing Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality (MDEQ) approved inventories for Mitchell Creek, Au Sable River
and Clinton River Watersheds as models.
Physical data and photographs will be collected at each erosion site, including the
following:
- • Location identified by global positioning system,
• Complete site photographs,
• Bank condition,
• Apparent cause of erosion,
• Amount of erosion, length & width, amount of sediment in river
• Slope ratio,
• River conditions,
• Soil type & texture

The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all inventory sites and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Hydraulic/Hydrologic Study: 3 Months Duration (Concurrent with Inventory)
An assessment of the hydraulic/hydrologic characteristics of the Rouge Main 1-2
drainage area will be performed using HEC-2, HEC-RAS or similar models taken from
existing FEMA flood insurance studies. The study will include reviewing 2, 10, 50 and
100-year storm flow velocity and river stages. The cross-sections that are considered in
the study will be located on a watershed map. The results of the study will be
summarized for inclusion in the final report, and will be used to determine appropriate
site stabilization techniques. For areas without FEMA studies, simple flow estimates
and calculations will be used.
Site Prioritization: 3 Months -
Erosion sites identified in the inventory will be scored and ranked into minor, moderate
and severe categories. The severity index that will be used was developed for the
Northwest Michigan Streambank Erosion Inventory and has been used extensively by
river restoration committees elsewhere in Michigan as a basis to prioritize sites for
restoration work. Based on the ,ranking, an overall prioritized list will be created. A
prioritized list will also be created, specific to each community.
Conceptual Drawings & Cost Estimates: 3 Months
Conceptual site drawings will be prepared for each severely ranked site. The site
drawings will include site characteristics and the recommended Best Management
Practices (BMP) necessary for site stabilization.
Accompanying cost estimates will be developed for each severely ranked site. These
cost estimates will consider the types of BMPs to be implemented, the accessibility of
the site, the size of the site, engineering design and construction oversight. A cost
summary table will be developed for the entire subwatershed, as well as for each
community.
Final report: 3 Months
A summary of the field investigations, cost estimates, site drawings and the hydrologic
study will then be included in a report. The report will be arranged so that information is
easily accessible by each community.

Background
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
Oakland County communities have required that most new developments retain
stormwater on-site. This requirement spawned the building of detention ponds
throughout the Rouge River Watershed. These basins effectively reduce peak flooding
and reduce pollutant loads from stormwater runoff. However, opportunities exist to
improve the performance of constructed stormwater detention basins by improving
pollutant removal efficiencies and reducing the initial downstream flow.
A well-designed detention pond provides three main functions:
1. Prevention of downstream flooding by detaining and slowly releasing captured
runoff,
2. Recharge ground water, and
3. Physical, chemical and biological interactions, which improve the quality of water of
detained water before it is discharged into streams, rivers and lakes.
The purpose of this project is to identify, prioritize, and make recommendations for
detention pond maintenance and design improvements of existing detention facilities in
the Main 1-2 Subwatershed. The goal of these improvements is to minimize flow
variability and to increase detention pond pollutant removal efficiency.
The total project cost for all communities is estimated at $145,920. This includes
$121,600 for consulting services, $12,160 for OCDC project administration, and
$12,160 project contingency. A USEPA grant of $54,350 has been received as part of
the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project. The communities
project cost will be determined based on the number of streambank miles and detention
ponds evaluated. The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office, in cooperation
with the following communities, will implement this project: the Cities of Southfield,
Rochester Hills, and Troy; the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield; the
Villages of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills, and the County of Oakland.
Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
The Rouge River Watershed is under pressure from urbanization, making it vulnerable
to heavy loading of non-point source pollutants. One such pollutant is excessive
sediment. Although sediment loading is a natural part of a river system, excessive
loading can degrade fish and wildlife habitat, destroy wetlands, and reduce the
recreational and aesthetic appeal of the river system. In addition, substances such as
oils, salts, and nutrients can enter the system attached to sediment particles causing
eutrophication and a general decrease in water quality in hydraulically connected lakes
and ponds.

The purpose of this project is to identify and prioritize stream bank erosion sites in the
Rouge Main 1-2 Subwatershed (excluding the Franklin Branch) and to make
recommendations that will incorporate best management practices to decrease
sediment loading to the river. See attached map
The total project cost is estimated at $120,00. This includes $100,000 for consulting
services, $10,000 for OCDC project administration, and $10,000 project contingency. A
USEPA grant of $49,645 has been received as part of the Rouge River National Wet
Weather Demonstration Project. The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office in
cooperation with the Cities of Southfield, Farmington Hills, Troy, Birmingham,
Bloomfield Hills, and the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield, and the Villages
of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills will implement this project.
Scope of Services
Oakland County Drain Commissioner's (OCDC) Office
OCDC will provide overall grant administration services including project billing, project
meeting attendance, coordination with consultant and communities, financial
accounting, coordination with Wayne County and Interagency Agreement
administration.
Municipality
Each municipality will participate and coordinate with the consultant and OCDC to allow
the consultant to complete the project as outlined in the following sections. This
includes providing verbal and written information, as requested by the consultant.
Consultant
The consultant will complete the following items as outlined in the OCDC Standard
Professional Services Agreement.
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
The consultant will communicate with the communities to determine the existing
detention facilities in the Subwatershed. The estimated number of ponds in all
participating communities is about 381. The inventory will consist of the following, or
related items as agreed-upon between the community and consultant that meet the
objectives of the grant.
• Compile existing data including location maps, copies of original design drawings,
drainage area,
• Verification of owner/responsible party for maintenance,
• Verify location and obtain GPS coordinates for each facility,
• The local unit of government's records relative to drainage, facility construction and
maintenance and any other records available for the facility will be collected.
G:\eng_projects\rpo\mr1-2\grants\pond-eroson inventory1iaa exhibit a - scope.doe
Page 3 of 6
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all existing facilities and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Assessment:
An assessment of each the existing detention facilities will be performed, consisting of
the following:
• A field assessment to determine the physical and hydraulic characteristics of each
facility including detention volume, outlet flow control, quantity and size of the inlet
and outlet structures, permanent pool depth; and stormwater quality enhancement
capabilities,
• A review of design plans, maintenance and other records for the facility to determine
if it was built and is functioning as designed,
• Verification of the type of development in the drainage area,
• Characteristics relating to the existing condition of each facility including the
presence of slope erosion, degree of sediment build-up, existing vegetation and
condition of the infrastructure,
• Age and years in service.
All collected data will be added to the previously created database and distributed to the
Oakland County Drain Office. Each community will receive only the data that pertains
to facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Evaluation & Ranking:
The data collected for each facility during the Inventory and Assessment will be
evaluated. The evaluation will consider all of the collected data, and identify needed
improvements and maintenance at each facility. In addition, recommendations will be
made for retrofitting measures that would improve outlet water quality, function, and
ground water recharge.
The findings and recommendations from the evaluation will be added to the previously
created database and distributed to the Oakland County Drain Office and the
communities. Each community will receive only the data that pertains to facilities within
their jurisdictional boundaries.
Final Report:
A summary of field findings and the accompanying recommendations, including
construction cost estimates, will be included in a comprehensive report. The report and
database will be arranged so that each community can easily access the information
that applies to the detention facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.

Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
Streambank Inventory:
An inventory of the streambanks will be performed for the Rouge Main 1-2
Subwatershed, including all tributaries and open county drains, but excluding the
Franklin Branch and it's tributaries (which are covered under another project). The
consultant will communicate with the communities to determine which branches and
tributaries of the approximately 100 miles (all communities) of river are sizable enough
to be inventoried. The inventory will be performed using the existing Michigan
Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) approved inventories for Mitchell Creek,
Au Sable River and Clinton River Watersheds as models.
Physical data and photographs will be collected at each erosion site, including the
following, or related items as agreed-upon between the community and consultant that
meet the objectives of the grant:
• Location identified by global positioning system,
• Complete site photographs,
• Bank condition,
• Apparent cause of erosion,
• Amount of erosion, length & width, amount of sediment in river
• Slope ratio,
• River conditions,
• Soil type & texture
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all inventory sites and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Hydraulic/Hydrologic Study:
An assessment of the hydraulic/hydrologic characteristics of the Rouge Main 1-2
drainage area will be performed using HEC-2, HEC-RAS or similar models taken from
existing FEMA flood insurance studies. The study will include reviewing 2, 10, 50 and
100-year storm flow velocity and river stages. The cross-sections that are considered in
the study will be located on a watershed map. The results of the study will be
summarized for inclusion in the final report, and will be used to determine appropriate
site stabilization techniques. For areas without FEMA studies, simple flow estimates
and calculations will be used.
Site Prioritization:
Erosion sites identified in the inventory will be scored and ranked into minor, moderate
and severe categories. The severity index that will be used was developed for the
Northwest Michigan Streambank Erosion Inventory and has been used extensively by
river restoration committees elsewhere in Michigan as a basis to prioritize sites for
restoration work. Based on the ranking, an overall prioritized list will be created. A
prioritized list will also be created, specific to each community.
G:neng_projects rpo \main1-21grants \pond-erosion inventorMa exhibit a - scope.doc
Page 5 of 6
Conceptual Drawings & Cost Estimates:
Conceptual site drawings will be prepared for each severely ranked site. The site
drawings will include site characteristics and the recommended Best Management
Practices (BMP) necessary for site stabilization.
Accompanying cost estimates will be developed for each severely ranked site. These
cost estimates will consider the types of BMPs to be implemented, the accessibility of
the site, the size of the site, engineering design and construction oversight. A cost
summary table will be developed for the entire subwatershed, as well as for each
community.
Final report:
A summary of the field investigations, cost estimates, site drawings and the hydrologic
study will then be included in one report. The report will be arranged so that information
is easily accessible by each separate community.

Background
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
Oakland County communities have required that most new developments retain
stormwater on-site. This requirement spawned the building of detention ponds
throughout the Rouge River Watershed. These basins effectively reduce peak flooding
and reduce pollutant loads from stormwater runoff. However, opportunities exist to
improve the performance of constructed stormwater detention basins by improving
pollutant removal efficiencies and reducing the initial downstream flow.
A well-designed detention pond provides three main functions:
1. Prevention of downstream flooding by detaining and slowly releasing captured
runoff,
2. Recharge ground water, and
3. Physical, chemical and biological interactions, which improve the quality of water of
detained water before it is discharged into streams, rivers and lakes.
The purpose of this project is to identify, prioritize, and make recommendations for
detention pond maintenance and design improvements of existing detention facilities in
the Main 1-2 Subwatershed. The goal of these improvements is to minimize flow
variability and to increase detention pond pollutant removal efficiency.
The total project cost for all communities is estimated at $145,920. This includes
$121,600 for consulting services, $12,160 for OCDC project administration, and
$12,160 project contingency. A USEPA grant of $54,350 has been received as part of
the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project. The communities
project cost will be determined based on the number of streambank miles and detention
ponds evaluated. The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office, in cooperation
with the following communities, will implement this project: the Cities of Southfield,
Rochester Hills, and Troy: the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield; the
Villages of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills, and the County of Oakland.
Main 1 -2 Streambank Inventory Study
The Rouge River Watershed is under pressure from urbanization, making it vulnerable
to heavy loading of non-point source pollutants. One such pollutant is excessive
sediment. Although sediment loading is a natural part of a river system, excessive
loading can degrade fish and wildlife habitat, destroy wetlands, and reduce the
recreational and aesthetic appeal of the river system. In addition, substances such as
oils, salts, and nutrients can enter the system attached to sediment particles causing
eutrophication and a general decrease in water quality in hydraulically connected lakes
and ponds.

The purpose of this project is to identify and prioritize stream bank erosion sites in the
Rouge Main 1-2 Subwatershed (excluding the Franklin Branch) and to make
recommendations that will incorporate best management practices to decrease
sediment loading to the river. See attached map
The total project cost is estimated at $120,000. This includes $100,000 for consulting
services, $10,000 for OCDC project administration, and $10,000 project contingency. A
USEPA grant of $49,645 has been received as part of the Rouge River National Wet
Weather Demonstration Project, The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's Office in
cooperation with the Cities of Southfield, Farmington Hills, Troy, Birmingham,
Bloomfield Hills, and the Townships of West Bloomfield and Bloomfield, and the Villages
of Bingham Farms and Beverly Hills will implement this project.
Scope of Services
Oakland County Drain Commissioner's (OCDC) Office
OCDC will provide overall went administration services including project billing, project
meeting attendance, coordination with consultant and communities, financial
accounting, coordination with Wayne County and Interagency Agreement
administration.
Municipality
Each municipality will participate and coordinate with the consultant and OCDC to allow
the consultant to complete the project as outlined in the following sections. This
includes providing verbal and written information, as requested by the consultant.
Consultant
The consultant will complete the following items as outlined in the OCDC Standard
Professional Services Agreement.
Stormwater Detention Pond Study
The consultant will communicate with the communities to determine the existing
detention facilities in the Subwatershed. The estimated number of ponds in all
participating communities is about 381. The inventory will consist of the following, or
related items as agreed-upon between the community and consultant that meet the
objectives of the grant.
• Compile existing data including location maps, copies of original design drawings,
drainage area,
• Verification of owner/responsible party for maintenance,
• Verify location and obtain GPS coordinates for each facility,
• The local unit of government's records relative to drainage, facility construction and
maintenance and any other records available for the facility will be collected.
C:Vocuments end Settings1RSpetiatleoLocal Settingsgernporary Internet Files,OLK32B0107041AA Exhibit A - Scope.doc
PAnct nf A
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all existing facilities and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Assessment:
An assessment of each the existing detention facilities will be performed, consisting of
the following:
• A field assessment to determine the physical and hydraulic characteristics of each
facility including detention volume, outlet flow control, quantity and size of the inlet
and outlet structures, permanent pool depth; and stormwater quality enhancement
capabilities,
• A review of design plans, maintenance and other records for the facility to determine
if it was built and is functioning as designed,
• Verification of the type of development in the drainage area,
• Characteristics relating to the existing condition of each facility including the
presence of slope erosion, degree of sediment build-up, existing vegetation and
condition of the infrastructure,
• Age and years in service.
All collected data will be added to the previously created database and distributed to the
Oakland County Drain Office. Each community will receive only the data that pertains
to facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.
Evaluation & Rankinq:
The data collected for each facility during the Inventory and Assessment will be
evaluated. The evaluation will consider all of the collected data, and identify needed
improvements and maintenance at each facility. In addition, recommendations will be
made for retrofitting measures that would improve outlet water quality, function, and
around water recharge.
The findings and recommendations from the evaluation will be added to the previously
created database and distributed to the Oakland County Drain Office and the
communities. Each community will receive only the data that pertains to facilities within
their jurisdictional boundaries.
Final Report:
A summary of field findings and the accompanying recommendations, including
construction cost estimates, will be included in a comprehensive report. The report and
database will be arranged so that each community can easily access the information
that applies to the detention facilities within their jurisdictional boundaries.

Main 1-2 Streambank Inventory Study
Streambank Inventory:
An inventory of the streambanks will be performed for the Rouge Main 1-2
Subwatershed, including all tributaries and open county drains, but excluding the
Franklin Branch and it's tributaries (which are covered under another project). The
consultant will communicate with the communities to determine which branches and
tributaries of the approximately 100 miles (all communities) of river are sizable enough
to be inventoried. The inventory will be performed using the existing Michigan
Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) approved inventories for Mitchell Creek,
Au Sable River and Clinton River Watersheds as models.
Physical data and photographs will be collected at each erosion site, including the
following, or related items as agreed-upon between the community and consultant that
meet the objectives of the grant:
• Location identified by global positioning system,
• Complete site photographs :
• Bank condition,
• Apparent cause of erosion,
• Amount of erosion, length & width, amount of sediment in river
• Slope ratio,
• River conditions,
• Soil type & texture
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location
map of all inventory sites and will be accessible using ArcView. The database will be
provided for all partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
Hydraulic/Hydrologic Study:
An assessment of the hydraulic/hydrologic characteristics of the Rouge Main 1-2
drainage area will be performed using HEC-2, HEC-RAS or similar models taken from
existing FEMA flood insurance studies. The study will include reviewing 2, 10, 50 and
100-year storm flow velocity and river stages. The cross-sections that are considered in
the study will be located on a watershed map. The results of the study will be
summarized for inclusion in the final report, and will be used to determine appropriate
site stabilization techniques. For areas without FEMA studies, simple flow estimates
and calculations will be used.
Site Prioritization:
Erosion sites identified in the inventory will be scored and ranked into minor, moderate
and severe categories. The severity index that will be used was developed for the
Northwest Michigan Streambank Erosion Inventory and has been used extensively by
river restoration committees elsewhere in Michigan as a basis to prioritize sites for
restoration work. Based on the ranking, an overall prioritized list will be created. A
prioritized list will also be created, specific to each community.

Conceptual Drawings & Cost Estimates:
Conceptual site drawings will be prepared for each severely ranked site. The site
drawings will include site characteristics and the recommended Best Management
Practices (BMP) necessary for site stabilization.
Accompanying cost estimates will be developed for each severely ranked site. These
cost estimates will consider the types of BMPs to be implemented, the accessibility of
the site, the size of the site, engineering design and construction oversight. A cost
summary table will be developed for the entire subwatershed, as well as for each
community.
Final Report:
A summary of the field investigations, cost estimates, site drawings and the hydrologic
study will then be included in one report. The report will be arranged so that information
is easily accessible by each separate community.

of the City of Farmington hills on January 12, 2004.
DATE: January 13, 2004
REPORT FROM THE CITY MANAGER TO CITY COUNCIL — JANUARY 12.2004
SUBJECT: Stream Bank Inventory Agreement with the Oakland County Drain
Commissioner
Administrative Summary
• In accordance with the federal Clean Water Act the City of Farmington Hills has a valid
Storm Water Permit.
• One of the requirements included in the Storm Water Permit is the evaluation of the
rivers and streams in the City of Farmington Hills. In order to meet this requirement
Farmington Hills committed to working with the Oakland County Drain Commissioners
Office on inspections of the streams.
• The Oakland County Drain Commissioner has received a grant for 50% of the cost of
inventorying soil erosion in the streams in Farmington Hills within the Main 1-2 sub-
watershed. This area is approximately one-third of the City of Farmington Hills.
• In order to proceed, authorization is needed to enter into a formal interagency agreement
with the Oakland County Drain Commissioner to do the required work.
Recommendation
RESOLVE that the City of Farmington Hills enter into an interagency agreement
with the Oakland County Drain Commissioner to provide an inventory of the stream
banks in the City of Farmington Hills and that $10, 686 be authorized for payment to
the County to cover the local share of the project.
Support Documentation
As part of the federal Clean Water Act, Farmington Hills, along with other communities in the
Rouge River watershed, agreed to work with the Oakland County Drain Commissioner to identify
stream conditions in the city. One of the criteria is to evaluate stream banks with regard to soil
erosion. The staff has been working with the Drain Commissioner to do the work together with
other Communities for efficiency. To that end, the Drain Commissioner has applied for and
received a federal grant to cover approximately 41% of the cost to do the work. Costs are as
represented on the attached spreadsheet with Farmington Hills' share being $10,686.
It should be noted that only the streams located in the Main 1-2 subwatershed (eastern 1/3 of the
city) are included. The remainder will be done at a future date. The work would be done by
consultants that have been retained by the Drain Commissioner. Work would start this winter and
be completed by the fall of 2004. The actual product that would be received is outlined as
follows:
Stream bank Inventory
An inventory of the stream banks will be performed for the Rouge Main 1/2 subwatershed,
excluding the Franklin Branch and its tributaries (which are covered under another project). The
consultant will communicate with the communities to determine which branches and tributaries
of the approximately 100 miles (all communities) of the river are sizable enough to be
inventoried. The inventory will be performed using the existing Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality (MDEQ) approved inventories criteria for Mitchell Creek, Au Sable River
and Clinton River Watersheds as models.
Physical data and photographs will be collected at each erosion site, including the following, or
related items as agreed upon between the communities and consultant that meet the objectives of
the grant:
• Location identified by global positioning system
• Complete site photographs
• Bank condition
• Apparent cause of erosion
• Amount of erosion, length & width, amount of sediment in river
• Slope ratio
• River conditions
• Soil type & texture
The collected data will be compiled in an electronic database that includes a location map of all
inventory sites and will be accessible using ArcView (GIS). The database will be provided for all
partnering communities and the Oakland County Drain Office.
An assessment of the hydraulic/hydrologic characteristics of the Rouge Main 1-2 drainage area
will be performed using HEC-2, HEC-RAS or similar models taken from existing FEMA flood
insurance studies. The study will include reviewing 2, 10, 50 and 100 year storm flow velocity
and river stages. The cross-sections that are considered in the study will be located on a
watershed map. The results of the study will be summarized for inclusion in the final report and
will be used to determine appropriate site stabilization techniques. For areas without FEMA
studies, simple flow estimates and calculations will be used.

PRESENT: Payne, Cotton, Devine, Roncelli, Stefanes, Buckley
ABSENT: Tobias
Payne said the next item is Oakland County Drain Commission Contract for Storm
Water Management Services. Wayne Domine, Superintendent of the Water and Sewer
Department, explained the proposal. He said in 2001 the County Watershed
Management Group made a proposal to the Wayne County Rouge Program Office to do
an inventory of the retention pond basins throughout Oakland County in the Rouge
River Watershed. There are actually two projects. The other one is to do a streambank
stabilization erosion inventory in the region similar to what we did on the Franklin
Branch. This is a countywide project in the watershed. The project costs about
$145,920 project and we are receiving a grant of $54,350. The project is divided among
several communities. The Drain Commissioner has to get approval from the County
Commissioners. The Rouge Program money is only available through the end of this
year, so this project is on a fast track right now. Out of the $145,920 project, the
Township's share is about $20,000. We have identified about 52 retention ponds in the
Township, both public and private. The purpose of the project is to get a handle on
these retention ponds, verify they are functioning properly, and look at it from both the
water quality and quantity standpoint. The Township has applied for and been
approved to hold a workshop in the next year, which is probably just a $10,000 grant.
The purpose for that grant is to invite the condominium associations and homeowner
associations that have these retention ponds and educate them on the importance of
maintaining the basins. We only maintain about a dozen of the basins. The
streambank project involves 7 miles of the Rouge River that are in the Township. The
EPA has identified the Rouge River and the actual legal entity of the river that is
protected. The engineers are going to walk the banks and do an inventory and
hydraulic study similar to what we did on the FEMA grant for the Franklin Branch. The
County Drain Commissioner went out for bids and Hubbell, Roth and Clark was
selected. This is a local match so our contribution is $20,000 something. Some will be
for in kind services which means Domine would keep track of his time and that would be
incorporated into our share of the local contribution amount. MOTION WAS MADE by
Devine and supported by Buckley to APPROVE the following resolution for the Oakland
County Drain Commission Contract for Storm Water Management Services:
