FY!

Now that we have Kurt on board, there is a need to balance workloads between our 6 FTE engineer positions within the Lansing and Jackson Districts. Attached is the redistricting plan moving forward with a quasi-start date of April 1 (the fiscal year mid-point). We will begin making these changes in SDWIS so that you can begin planning for visits and surveys for the 24 half of the FY. It is recognized that survey and visit timelines will need to be smoothed back out to spread them over the 3 year cycle and some surveys may need to be conducted earlier to make that happen. While there are still some details to be worked out on things like file coordination, staff should plan to close out or transfer work regarding community systems that will no longer be in their subdistrict over the next couple weeks. | anticipate a lot of team effort will be needed the rest of the fiscal year to bring each other up to speed. We will continue to discuss logistical issues in the coming days. Stephen Busch, P.E.

All, | wanted to share with you that | have been invited by Director Wyant to represent ODWMA at a luncheon with Governor Snyder next week. This is a direct reflection on the quality and character of the work we have all accomplished in the Lansing and Jackson District over the past year and in particular on a number of high profile issues for the Department and State including Flint and Lake Erie Harmful Algal Blooms. | just wanted to acknowledge you, as you deserve full credit for this honor. You have the recognition and appreciation of myself and many others for your continuing efforts and | plan to let the Governor know that. Again, it is because of you that this was made possible. So thanks and cheers to the Lansing Jackson District for | share in this with you. Stephen Busch, P.E.

Pat, Here is the information on the lime sludge lagoons in my area. Please contact me if you need any additional information. Mark. 1. City of Alma WSSN 00140 is a 4 MGD complete treatment plant with a 2 cell lime sludge lagoon system. The approximate acreage of each cell is 6.3 ac and 5.2 ac. This is information was provided by the city of Alma engineering department. The city has not discharged or removed sludge from the lagoons since 1964. 2. City of Howell WSSN 03250 is a 3.1 MGD complete treatment plant with a 2 cell lime sludge lagoon system. The approximate acreage of each cell is 0.5 ac. This is based on file records. De-watering of the lagoons occurs through a collection of under drains below the lagoons that transport the effluent to the sanitary sewer system. 3. MHOG WSSN 04098 is a 9.1 MGD complete treatment plant with a 3 cell lime sludge lagoon system. The approximate acreage of each cell is 0.3 ac. This is based MHOG records. Supernatant from the lime sludge lagoons is discharged to a detention pond with an under drain collection system that discharges to a nearby surface water. MHOG has an NPDES permit.

Bethel, You might want to have Mike update you on this project if you are unfamiliar with it. Mark.

Thanks forthe update on the status of the Lake Huron Water Supply Karegnondi Water Authority project. {| will be the main contact person in the Lansing District who wil be responsible for plan review, issuing ihe construction permits, and participation in upcoming meetings. We received a copy of the preliminary engineering report. Tim B. and myself have previously reviewed portions of the report. . Michael Prysby ~ MDEQ 517 335-6122

In the original meetings, we agreed that the Saginaw Bay District wauld review the plans for the intake, raw water pump station anc the transmission line through Sanilac County. The Lansing District was responsible for the raw water transmission line through Lapeer and Genesee Counties plus the treatrnent plant located in Genesee County. John O’Brien et al, from Genesee County Drain Cornmission, participated in these meetings. We have all ready reviewed portions of the craft feasibility study and conceptional plans.

Just wanted to follow-up a meeting we (Sonya Butler, Kelly Hoffman, and I) sat in on last week with Genesee County to discuss the new water authority and their plans for a regional system with Lapeer County, Sanilac County, the city of Lapeer, and the city of Flint. xxxEND_PAGE:deq25_b243_3424_3425_1 In general, they took the opportunity to describe for us their master plan. We discussed options for revolving loan dollars. In addition, they asked if we (the community water supply program) could coordinate the reviews for permitting that would be needed in light of the fact that the project will be crossing district boundaries. T think it will be helpful if we could discuss via a conference call. Since everyone was out last week at the Section meeting, I haven't had a chance to coordinate the conversation yet. Thought I'd share this note to get you thinking about issues you might see on the horizon. Laura - I've included you since the Detroit system is obviously impacted by any proposal that is being discussed. They indicated in the meeting that they had reached an agreement (or at least a meeting of the minds) with the city of Detroit regarding a couple of options available to them relative to proceeding with the proposal. Perhaps you've heard something from the city that might shed some more light on this. Veronica could you please set up a call for us. Friday morning looks good for me. It might have to wait until next week depending on calendars. Kelly - would it be helpful for you to participate in the call in order to hear the discussion from the program side? They may also have questions for you. Liane xxxEND_PAGE:deq25_b243_3424_3425_2
