This is the final year of two annual one week sessions of classroom study and lectures pertaining to revenue sources. ITEM #7 ADDISON-OAKS SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM The Hydrogeological Evaluation for Wastewater Disposal has been completed and it is in the process of being evaluated by the County and State Health Departments. Ted Dziurman o'f the Department of Facilities and Operations will be present to discuss the findings and recommendations of Lynn M. Miller, P.E., Ann Arbor, Michigan, who conducted the study. As you may recall, we have a severe sewer problem at the Conference Center and the Warming Shelter. The purpose of the study was to determine what the best method would be to solve this problem and proceed with developing an acceptable sewer system to serve the whole park. We have appropriated $50,000.00 from the 1973 Capital Outlay Program for this project and recommend that we commence engineering as soon as we get Health Department approvals. ITEM #8 CAMPING POLICY - ADMINISTRATIVE The attached policy is an overall study of the best method of administering the use of our County Park system, specifically designed for the camper, so the Commission will be protected from the ensuing pressures they will be experiencing in the 1974 season due to the energy crisis. March 4, 1974 OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION CAMPING POLICY 1974 The following policy will govern camping in all of the Oakland County Parks. I. LOCATION Camping will be permitted only in established campgrounds or desig- nated sites. Camping is prohibited in any other areas of the Oakland County Parks. II. PURPOSE OF THE CAMPGROUND A campground in a county park is established for the convenience and pleasure of the touring and vacationing family for overnight camping use. It definitely is not created and maintained as a place for permanent residence or a base for the operation of a busi- ness or a facility for non -camper convenience. III. CLASSIFICATION OF CAMPS The following standards for classification of camps have been adopted: A. TENT - is any camp using a fabric type shelter as the basic camp unit, erected on the ground, and not a part of a trailer unit. B. TENT TRAILER - is any camp which has a trailer mounted on wheels with collapsible sidewalls of fabric, plastic or other pliable materials. They fold out into large tent -top structures sleeping 4 to 8. C. TRAVEL TRAILER - is any camp which has a trailer as the asic s elter unit. These trailers have two, four or five wheels. They range in size from 12 feet to 35 feet, with the larger units being completely self-contained. D. TRUCK OR PICK-UP CAMPER - is any camp which has a portable structure designed to be loaded onto or mounted on the bed of a half -ton or three Quarter - ton truck and used as the basic shelter unit. This would also include a van truck. E. MOTOR HOMES - is any camp using a self -powered, self- containeaunit as the basic shelter. These homes measure up to 35 feet long. This would include a converted bus or a manufactured camper bus used as the basic shelter unit. Page 2 (Camping Policy, 1974) F. BACKPACK - is a camp using a shelter carried to the site on the back of a camping member with no vehicle involved. This type of camp will be allowed only in restricted areas by reservation. G. ORGANIZATION - any camp using any one or any combina- tion of the various types of shelter when the camping group make up qualifies as an organization camp. IV. DEFINITION OF A CAMP A camp shall be considered to mean a single family occupying one site with at least but not more than; one trailer and'one tent and two cars or one motor home and one car or one pickup camper and one car. A. A single family may consist of: 1. Husband and wife 2. Father and/or mother and unmarried children of the same household. B. A camp shelter is defined as in Section III under the classification of camps. This would include a tent, tent -trailer, travel trailer, pick-up camper, and motor home. C. If more than one camp shelter is required by members of the same family, other than a tent, t ey shall be considered as separate camps and shall occupy separate campsites. D. In no case will two or more tent trailers, travel trailers, pick-up campers, motor homes or any combination thereof be considered as a single camp. E. Where campgrounds are laid out in defined sites, not more than one camp will be permitted on a site. Where campgrounds are not laid out in sites, the number of camps will be determined by the capacity of the existing sanitary facilities. V. REGISTRATIONS AND ASSIGNMENT NUMBERS To have an accurate record of camping use and to permit proper control, every camp will be registered at the time it is established. A. All camp shelters to be used must be visually verified before the family can register. B. The senior responsible adult of the family must register. Page 3 (Camping Policy, 1974) C. The park manager may require that names of all members of the family be recorded if it is deemed necessary for proper control. D. The park manager has the authority to assign sites. E. The camp shelter shall not be brought into the park prior to the arrival of the camping party. F. No camping equipment shall be placed on any camp- ground site while that site is occupied by another camping party. G. Campsite Occupancy will be restricted by the following con itions: 1. Occupancy is limited to a single immediate family. 2. All assigned sites must be occupied by 10:00 p.m. on the day of registration. 3. Campers may not sublet campsites or transfer permits and equipment. H. Only when developed campgrounds are filled, family camps may be placed in approved organization areas under the following conditions: 1. The design capacity of the organization area is not to be exceeded. 2. Transfers or lot moves will not be permitted to regular campgrounds except where people desiring to move from an organization area to a campground follow the same procedure as a -new camper in the area. 3. Campers will not be placed in day use parking nor other "emergency" overflow areas. 4. Campground capacities will not be exceeded. When campgrounds are filled to capacity, including organizational areas, they must be closed and campers turned away. I. When all camping facilities in a park are filled and waiting lines form requiring turnaways, the following system will be placed in effect: 1. A check will be made to see how many permits were not renewed at 10:00 a. m. 2. Lots to be vacated due to non -renewals will be assigned on a first -come, first -served basis. 3. If no lots are scheduled to be vacated, campers will either be directed to other campgrounds in the area or be asked to report back the following morning. Any open lots will be assigned on a first -come, first -served basis. Page 4 (Camping Policy, 1974) VI. PERMITS. EXTENSIONS AND TIME LIMITS A. During the period from Memorial Day through Labor Day: 1. Camp permits will be written to cover not more than 14 consecutive nights with an option to renew as outlined in Part D. 2. The park manager may require a camp to move to a new site each 14 nights or sooner, if necessary, to preserve the site. 3. No permit may be written to cover more than 14 consecutive nights. 4. If a lot is requested by another camper, the camp may be moved to another vacant lot as long as there are no waiting campers to be registered otherwise that camper would have to follow the registration procedure outlined in Section V. B. During the period of Labor Day to Memorial Day, any camp (family or organization) may camp for an unlimited period of time. The park manager may require a camp to move to a new site if necessary to preserve the site. C. Campers desiring to move to another site within a camp- ground wi 1 ave to get the approval from the park manager. Only one move will be permitted. D. If sites are available, any camp permit may be renewed within the limits of this policy. To have priority in obtaining a renewal for the same site, the camper must obtain the renewal by or at 10:00 A. M. on the day the permit expires. 1. After 10:00 A. M. all sites having a permit which expires that day and for which no renewals have been issued, are subject to and considered available for assignment to any incoming camper. 2. Any camper requesting a permit renewal after 10:00 A. M. on the day the permit expires, loses his priority and must take his place in line with any incoming camper. a. If, when his turn comes, his site has not been assigned to some other camper, he may be issued a renewal for that site. b. If his site has been requested by another camper then he must accept one of the remaining vacant sites and move his camp to that site. C. If there are no other vacancies that day, the camper must vacate his site and leave the park by the 3 P.M. check-out time. Page 5 (Camping Policy, 1974) E. Expired permits - campers who continuously neglect to renew their permits by 10 A.M. without justifi- cation, will be subject to removal from the park. At no time will a camper's shelter be evicted from the park unless the owner is present. No refunds or rain checks will be issued. F. Exceptions to the above limitations may be made in the following areas: 1. Employees of the Parks Commission who are assigned temporarily to the park, and who must provide their own living quarters (in the form of a tent or trailer) will camp in locations designated by the park manager. This tent or trailer will be moved from the park when employment is terminated. 2. At those parks having a concessionaire, which do not include living quarters for the con- cessioner, the concessionaire may place a tent or trailer at a location designated by the park manager. This trailer may be occupied by the concessioner while the concession is open. The trailer must be moved from the park when the concession is closed at the end of the season. 3. Emergency cases involving serious illness or accident which makes compliance with the rule impossible and only for the duration of the emergency. The Park manager should satisfy himself by investigation or inquriry that facts in the case warrant consideration before granting an extension. VII.
