The focus of this project was on evaluating local ordinances for private wells and septic systems and wellhead protection ordinances for municipal groundwater sources as well as increasing the awareness about ways local units of government can be more protective of surface and groundwater sources. Both types of ordinances provide benefits to communities from a public health perspective. Through this effort, the project team conducted numerous stakeholder interviews, focus group discussions, and public presentations. A stakeholder survey was administered, a comprehensive inventory of existing ordinances was conducted, and an interactive mapping platform was developed to help local units of government better understand their risks and policy options related to local septic and wellhead protection ordinances. Key deliverables include a project website, an educational story map, an inventory and analysis of existing local ordinances, and preliminary policy recommendations for local units of government. The final chapter of this report highlights some of the key recommendations the project team identified as next steps moving forward. The recommendations can be divided into four categories: (1) ordinances; (2) outreach and education; (3) master planning; and (4) better data. A comprehensive approach to developing and adopting protective and comprehensive statewide legislation is needed to ensure all Michigan’s citizens and critical resources are healthy. However, communities should explore all options available to them. While there does not appear to be a one-size-fits-all approach to local ordinances that protect drinking water, through interviews and a thorough review of existing ordinances, the project team identified a series of best practices related to point of sale septic inspection ordinance and wellhead protection ordinances. Education was a recurrent theme. Educating local officials about policy options related to source water protection is challenging but critical. Presentations at local conferences and distribution of existing educational materials will go a long way in raising awareness of the importance of source water protection. From a master planning standpoint, the importance of integrating source water protection into the community visioning process cannot be understated. By making water quality and water protection part of a larger community conversation, water can be established as one of the community pillars. The desire for more and better data was a them that came out in many discussions over the course of this process. In some instances, the data is already available, but has not been widely adopted. In an effort to blend policy and technical information, an educational story map was developed, and after a several iterations and edits, the mapping platform is online and available to the public (www. managingwaterforhealth.org). Variables that were mapped were carefully considered with the hopes of informing local officials from an introductory standpoint. The material selected and the way it is presented were all a part of a larger plan to inform, rather than overwhelm, local officials - especially including those with no prior knowledge about water systems or threats to their respective water sources. Due to the exploratory nature of this project, much was learned along the way, and the process and deliverables shifted as the project progressed. The goal was to provide recommendations specific enough to improve local ordinances while still engaging stakeholders in a broad way to discuss issues related to source water protection. The project team will continue to look for opportunities to engage with stakeholders to release and promote this information.

Appropriately caring for and investing in its infrastructure can help drive the state toward an economically robust, environmentally sustainable and socially just future. • Transportation & Mobility: Building on its history of mobilizing the world, Michigan has an opportunity to demonstrate leadership in future mobility that prioritizes carbon neutrality, public health and safety, and economic strength. Addressing rapidly deteriorating transportation infrastructure is key. • Energy: Given Michigan’s stated goals on carbon neutrality, shifting the state’s energy system to become increasingly digital, decarbonized and distributed is essential. Efforts to upgrade and expand existing aging infrastructure are important as well. • Water: A severe public health crisis has illustrated the consequences of underinvestment and decision-making without adequate community representation. The state has an opportunity to use machine learning to identify and replace hazardous water lines and address stormwater and wastewater vulnerabilities, and move toward a Michigan that is purer for all. • Information & Communications: Enhanced information and communications infrastructure can enable proactive, real-time asset management across all infrastructure.

Prior reports were in 1992 and 2006. This report was meant to study 2 alternatives, continuing purchase of water from Detroit Water and Sewage Department (DWSD) or to build a new pipeline to supply raw water from Lake Huron. o This report clearly states the differences between raw and treated water, and explains in detail the construction costs needed to upgrade Flint’s Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in order to properly treat water. o Additionally, in Appendix 7, the report mentions the lead and copper program and corrosion control requirements, even including the chemical composition of orthophosphate. o An upgrade to the WTP of approximately $7 million would be required in order for the plant to properly treat water on a continuous basis. o These upgrades are necessary to destroy bacteria, viruses, and prevent waterborne disease. Note: At the time of the inception of the KWA, the requirements of treating raw water, upgrades needed to be done for the WTP to properly treat water, and cost estimates of DWSD being more cost effective than the KWA were clear and known to at least two persons, Drain County Commissioner Jeff Wright and Mayor Walling. Both of whom had clear legal, ethical, and patriotic duty to the citizens of Flint as their elected representatives.

  • Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
    35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.
