D
I
am
finding
my
saying
there
yeah
I'm
here
remotely
from
Novi
Michigan
thank.
A
Present
yeah.
Thank
you.
Let
us
stand
for
the
pledge
I'd
like
to
ask
commissioner
Miller
if
he
would
lead
us
in
the
pledge
sure.
A
A
A
A
A
G
Will
at
least
speak
for
mine,
which
is
a
and
I,
can't
tell
you
that
this
is
long
overdue,
so
I'm
really
really
excited.
So
anybody
that's
in
that
Commerce
area
knows
that
this
is
something
much
needed
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
it
awesome.
A
Thank
you
motion
carries
item.
Nine
is
regular
agenda
first
item:
a
is
economic
development,
Aviation
and
transportation
airport
land,
lease
addendum
JDS
pump
and
go
LLC,
and
we
will
entertain
a
motion
to
recommend
to
the
board
Mr
Johnson
Mr
weipert.
Thank
you.
Both
looks
like
Miss.
Bush
is
with
us
the
microphone's
yours.
H
D
We
have
before
us
a
land
Lisa
dundum.
This
was
a
land
lease
that
we
just
entered
into,
if
you
recall
less
than
a
month
ago,
but
as
soon
as
we
started
down
that
approval
process,
the
tenant
requested
an
addendum
which
would
allow
them
a
first
right
of
offer
to
an
adjacent
property.
That
is
typically
our
practice
anyway,
but
they
felt
more
comfortable
having
it
as
as
a
part
of
their
new
lease.
So
we
are
in
full
agreement
and
this
land
lease
will
address
that.
There's
no
adjustment
to
budget
or
monetary
considerations
at
all.
A
I
D
D
D
Just
they
do
have
a
plan.
They've
had
a
plan
to
construct
on
that
property
for
some
time,
and
so
it's
a
phase
three
to
their
property
and
would
Encompass
another
hanger,
but
I
don't
have
a
timeline
yet,
and
so
this
is
just
a
right
to
offer.
So
if
we
had
another
interested
party,
we
would
go
to
JDS
pump
and
go.
Let
them
know
that
we
have
an
interested
party.
D
They
would
have
a
short
period
of
time
to
respond
and
enter
into
a
lease
or
they
would
have
the
right
to
offer
would
go
away
and
we
would
be
open
to
at
least
to
another
party,
so
it
doesn't
tie
the
property
up
if
there's
other
progress
to
be
made,
but
the
the
property
is
at
right
adjacent
right
on
top
of
their
facility,
so
it
wouldn't
really
be
attractive
to
a
new
party
coming
in
okay.
Thank
you.
My
pleasure.

Facilities
Management
leased
vehicle
operations,
unit
creation
of
three
positions:
let's
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
recommend
to
the
board:
Mr
wiper
moves,
Mr
Johnson
supported
it
and
we
have
Todd
burkel
here
to
talk
with
us
about
this.
We.
K
I
want
to
introduce
you
to
John
Tompkins
John
is
the
chief
of
support
services
and
he's
responsible
for
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
vehicle
Fleet.
So
he's
got
quite
a
busy
job.
K
K
This
is
to
accommodate
we've
added
142
vehicles
to
the
fleet
since
2013
and
the
majority
of
the
growth
all
but
nine
of
the
vehicles
has
been
in
the
sheriff
and
the
Water
Resource
commissioner
they're,
both
picking
contracts
and
additional
positions,
and
we
the
motor
pool
funds
and
internal
service
fund.
A
part
of
our
rate
that
we
charge
back
for
the
vehicles
includes
a
maintenance
fee
per
mile,
and
the
maintenance
fee
generated
by
these
additional
Vehicles
alone
will
exceed
the
cost
of
these
positions
by
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year.
K
K
Are
doing
some
overtime
and
also
we
have
some
dealerships
on
contract
that
we
use
as
backups
the
labor
rate,
though
at
the
dealerships
is
almost
twice
what
our
internal.
C
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
that
I
see
that
it's
like
leased
vehicles,
isn't
that
normally
at
least
normally
covered
when
you
lease
them.
Yeah.
K
E
I
You
I
don't
know
this
is
kind
of
a
weird
question
and
I'm
happy
to
see
the
the
Water
Resources
commissioner
here
also
because
I
know,
you
said
a
lot
of
the
vehicles
are
in
their
Fleet,
too
I'm
an
EV
owner
and
one
of
the
great
perks
of
having
an
EV
is
that
I
don't
ever
need
an
oil
change
and
my
repairs
are
rather
minimal.
I
The
transition
to
electrified
fleets
is
a
long
Horizon
program,
but
but
it
like
will
happen
so
just
kind
of
wondering
the
time
Horizon
on
all
these
positions,
because
they
are
easier
to
maintain
if
in
10
years,
half
of
our
Fleet
is
electric
and
it's
easier
to
maintain
anyway,
are
are
these
positions
in
Jeopardy,
or
are
we
just
going
to
keep
buying
more
and
more
and
more
Vehicles
so
that
that
is
a
redundant
point
because
I
understand?
K
I
could
predict
that
a
little
better
with
the
EVS.
It's
been
such
a
challenge.
We
we
talk
about
it
every
day
and
I
didn't
going
into
this
I
thought
it
would
be
much
easier
to
start
integrating
EVS
into
the
fleet
and
it's
really
been
difficult
number
one.
Just
because
of
the
being
able
to
charge
these
vehicles
and
a
lot
of
our
vehicles
are
not
coming
back
to
the
campus
every
night.
K
So
it's
something
we'll
have
to
address
as
time
goes
on
and,
like
you
had
mentioned,
I
would
imagine
the
sheriff
of
nwrc.
Both
will
probably
even
be
picking
up
more
contracts.
Yeah,
there's
always
going
to
be
at
least
I
would
say
over
the
next
20
years,
the
ice
engine
vehicles
for
the
three-quarter
ton,
pickup
trucks,
trucks
that
have
plows
on
them
dump
trucks
that
it's
just
the
technology
is
not
not
there,
nor
it
probably
won't
be
there
in
the
next
10
years
to
convert
those
to
Electric
yeah.
I
A
A
All
right
anything
further,
let
us
prompt
the
vote.
Mm-Hmm.
A
It
takes
us
to
item
nine
seat
under
the
regular
agenda,
which
is
Facilities
Management
renovation
and
expansion
of
outdoor
kennel
project
for
the
animal
shelter
can
I
get
a
motion
too
forward
to
finance
Mr
Rahman
and
a
support
Mr
wiper.
Thank
you
and
looks
like
Mr
Gatt.
A
M
Okay,
thank
you.
First
of
all,
good
morning,
Commissioners
in
2021,
the
Board
of
Commissioners,
commissioned
a
study
to
be
done
at
the
Oakland
County
Animal
Shelter
by
a
Dr
Sarah
Pizano,
and
although
Dr
Pizano
found
that
our
shelter
was
doing
excellent
work
well
above
the
national
average.
In
most
cases,
she
did
have
several
suggestions
on
how
to
how
to
make
our
shelter
better
and
we've
implemented
every
single
suggestion
that
we
were
capable
of
doing,
and
indeed
our
shelter
is
operating
as
well
as
anyone
could
expect
we're
very
proud
of
the
work
being
done
there.
M
We're
servicing
about
4
000
animals
per
year
today,
I'm
here
requesting
your
permission
to
proceed
with
another
suggestion.
Dr
presano
made
concerning
some
outside
pens,
our
shelters
nearly
six
years
old
now
and
those
of
you
who
are
familiar
with
it
know
that
on
the
east
side
of
our
building,
there's
a
very
large
outdoor
play
area,
that's
all
fenced
in
and
everyone
would
agree,
I
hope
that
dogs
crave
and
indeed
need
as
much
outside
air
and
sunshine
as
possible.
M
The
play
area
that
I
just
described
is
beautiful
and
spacious,
but
it's
vastly
underused,
because
we
can
never
have
more
than
a
couple
of
dogs
outside
without
supervision.
Otherwise,
the
dogs
would
most
likely
get
into
a
fight
by
adding
these
19
outside
play
areas.
We
will
positively
affect
our
operations
in
a
myriad
of
ways.
First,
our
dogs
will
be
happier
three
of
the
19
pens
proposed
are
bigger
than
the
other
16,
whereby
we
will
be
able
to
put
several
dogs
together
to
play
in
accordance
with
Dr
Pizano's
recommendations.
M
A
happier
dog
makes
a
more
adoptable
pet
and
that's
something
that
everyone
in
the
shelter
is
striving
for
on
a
daily
basis.
Second,
by
moving
a
minimum
of
19
more
dogs
outside
during
the
day,
our
cleaning
staff
will
be
more
and
better
able
to
deep,
clean
the
cages.
Today,
much
much
time
is
spent
moving
the
dogs
from
one
location
to
another
in
the
shelter
in
order
to
clean
either
a
half
a
cage
at
a
time
or
a
whole
cage.
M
If
any
of
you
been
there,
you
know
that
our
adoption
for
area
the
dogs
in
that
row
have
cages
that
are
half
inside
and
half
outside
and
and
these
cages
that
are
outside
are
adjacent
to
a
a
special
Turf
player.
If
you
will-
and
we
always
allow
one
dog
outside
in
that
play
area,
while
the
other
you
know,
15
dogs
are
watching
their
buddy
out
there
running
around
loose
and
it
drives
them
crazy.
M
So
Dr
pizzano
suggested
that
a
wall
be
built
to
Shield
the
dogs
from
seeing
the
one
dog
that's
loose
outside
by
doing
by
building
that
wall,
we're
going
to
make
again
more
efficient
and
happier
dogs,
which
means
more
adaptable.
And
finally,
the
project
will
allow
us
to
put
a
top
and
all
of
our
present
and
future
outside
pens.
We
have
an
eight
eight
foot
fence,
that's
erected
now
to
keep
our
dogs
inside,
and
we
have
found
that
in
some
dogs
cases,
that's
not
high
enough.
M
In
the
last
six
months,
two
dogs
have
jumped
over
the
eight
foot
fence
that
they
are
presently
in
one
escaped
into
the
into
the
county
property.
If
you
will
we,
we
caught
it
one
jumped
over
the
fence
and
injured
one
of
our
employees,
bitter
and
bitter,
pretty
good.
So
by
putting
Tops
on
on
all
the
new
cages
and
all
the
existing
cages,
it's
going
to
make
the
place
safer
and
and
better
and
the
best
news
is
that
the
project
won't
expend
any
money
from
the
general
fund.
M
A
portion
will
be
funded
by
unexpected
proceeds
from
the
previous
sale
of
bonds.
For
the
original
construction
project,
a
portion
will
be
funded
through
unexpended
funds
from
lapsed
projects
that
were
part
of
the
County's
coronavirus
response,
and
the
remaining
balance
will
be
funded
by
the
Oakland
County
Animal
Shelter
Pet
Adoption
Legacy
fund,
so
I'm
here,
along
with
a
couple
of
the
people
from
fmo
who
are
on
the
screen,
seeking
your
approval
to
move
forward
with
this
project.
A
Great
presentation
really
good
Mr
spizz
I,
see
you're
in
your
hand,
yeah.
B
Thank
you
manager,
everything
you
just
described,
Mr
cat!
Is
it
somewhere
in
our
packets
I
didn't
see
that
because
I
was
going
to
ask
for
a
plan
and
you
kind
of
outlined
it
a
little
bit
but
I'm
being
an
engineer
and
a
rather
old
engineer,
I
hate
to
say
that
but
I
like
to
see
plants
I
like
to
see
things
on
paper.
So.
M
I
understand
I,
don't
know.
What's
in
your
packet
there's,
certainly
the
professional
plans
that
have
been
drawn
up.
It
will
be
all
these
anticipated
new
or
pens
will
be
in
our
play
area.
Now,
half
the
play
area
will
be
consisting
of
these
new
pens.
M
Have
some
that
I
can
for
I'm
sure,
FM
and
O
I,
don't
know
if
they're
listening,
yeah.
N
Yes,
good
morning,
yeah
we
have,
we
have
plans,
I
can
send
those
like
and
she
can
forward
them
out.
If
that's
okay,
yes,
please
thank
you.
B
B
M
O
I
can
tell
you
funds
from
the
Department
of
Treasury
from
the
bonds.
That
is
the
majorities
coming
from
the
bonds
and
then
also
from
the
pet
adoption.
Legacy
I
don't
have
the,
but
the
scheduling
in
front
of
me
and
it'll
give
you
the
amount
that
is
coming
from
the
arpa
funds.
Yeah.
B
J
E
Miller,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
the
question
so
the
fence
you're
talking
about.
Is
it
just
gonna?
What
kind
of
friends
were
talking
with
some
kind
of
good
design?
Is
it
going
to
be
visible
to
the
road.
M
It's
going
to
be
chain
leak,
fence,
identical
to
the
fence
that
we
have
on
the
property
now.
E
M
That's
going
to
be
a
block
wall,
cement
block
wall,
you
know
hiding
the
view
of
the
outdoor
cages
from
the
play
area.
That
is
it's
existing
now
yeah.
E
Because
black
wall
seems
such
so
like
stoic,
like
old
schools
or
any
new
design
that
we
could
use.
M
A
You
that
motion
carries
with
six
years
one
day.
Thank
you
again.
Mr
Mr
Gatt
Bob.
As
you
told
me
to
call
you.
Thank
you
all
right,
we're
moving
along
folks.
Let's
take
care
of
item
10
on
our
agenda,
which
is
a
presentation
from
the
Water
Resource.
Commissioner,
the
WRC
annual
report
I'll
take
a
all
right.
H
Denim
chair
for
having
us
here
this
morning
to
discuss
our
2022
dream
annual
report
and.
A
And
before
you
technically
start
just
this
was
in
my
mailbox.
So
if
you
didn't
see
this,
it's
probably
waiting
for
you
and
yours
about
nighttime
reading
and
then
just
for
good
measure,
Jim
Nash,
just
if
you
wouldn't
mind
and
then
Carrie
Cox,
Sid
Lockhart.
We.
H
Had
a
change
out
because
to
Joel
no.
H
Q
Well,
thanks,
you
know
I'm,
as
always,
it's
great
to
be
here.
It's
great
to
see
everybody
I
I
just
noticed
here.
You
guys
got
all
high-tech
since
I
left
because
I
didn't
have.
We
didn't
have
any
of
this
stuff
when
I
left
anyway,
I
I
just
want
to
you
know.
Q
We
want
you
to
understand
what
we
do.
It's
it's
we're
serving
every
citizen
in
Oakland
County,
one
way
or
another,
and
this
presentation
is
going
to
help.
You
understand
the
systems
we
operate,
maintain
the
financials
associated
with
those
with
the
work
we
do
and
the
Innovative
projects
we
manage,
which
we
are
really
doing
extremely
good
work
on
so
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
talk
a
lot
about
this.
The
experts
here
are
the
ones
that
need
to
talk
about
this.
So
Carrie
go
ahead.
Q
Okay,
so
these
are,
these
are
the
five
outcomes
my
office
works
on
every
day,
and
this
is
something
that's
really
a
regional
effort.
Now
everybody
understands
that
these
are
the
things
we
need
to
work
from
the
project
to
protect
public
health
and
safety.
That's
the
first
thing:
we
do
it's
the
what
we
need
to
be
doing.
Q
This
is
a
Royal
Oak,
Township
Outreach
event.
We
did
for
the
lead
service
line
replacement.
This
is
something
that
again,
some
communities
are
are
heavily
affected
by
and
some
communities
have
basically
none.
So
it's
a
it's
a
very
individualized
thing
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we're
following
that
we're
preserving
our
natural
resources.
Environment
again,
this
is
vitally
important.
We
depend
on
the
environment
for
our
for
our
well-being
for
to
for
having
a
good
place
to
live.
Q
If
we're
not
doing
that,
we're
in
trouble
we're
we're
working
to
maintain
reliable,
high
quality
service.
This
is
again
something
that
we're
very
well
known,
for
we
operate
maintain
for
17
communities
for
their
systems
and
that's
why?
Because
we're
well
known
to
do
it
and
we
have
it.
We
have
efficiency
of
scale.
We
contribute
to
economic
Prosperity.
Nobody
wants
to
live
in
a
place
with
bad
infrastructure.
If
we're
not
making
sure
our
infrastructure
is
operating
properly.
Again,
we're
not
going
to
be
doing
well,
economically
and
again,
everything
we
do.
Q
We
have
to
ensure
the
value
of
those
Investments.
This
is
what
we're
doing
these
things
have
to
last
for
decades.
Well,
I'm
long
gone,
and
these
guys
will
have
grandkids
too.
So
this
is
this
is
something
we
do
every
day
and
I'm
375
employees
that
that
do
it
so
now
I'm
done.
Thank
you.
H
So
in
fiscal
year,
2022
our
office
oversaw
more
than
500
system
funds
and
these
utilities
included
22
Local
Water
Systems.
We
operated
on
behalf
of
the
communities
in
Oakland
County.
This
included
the
cities
of
Sylvan,
Lake
and
Pleasant
Ridge,
which
we
took
over
operations
for
both
water
and
sanitary
responsibility
of
Maintenance
and
operations
in
fiscal
year
2022..
H
H
H
So
as
these
systems
age,
they
need
maintenance,
Rehabilitation
and
eventual
replacement
in
the
form
of
capital
projects.
On
our
way,
our
management
team
can
track
the
reliability
and
quality
of
service.
We
provide
through
a
series
of
key
performance
indicators,
some
of
which,
hopefully
are
listed
on
the
slide
here
and
in
the
report
that
we're
provided.
These
quantifiable
measures
provide
a
picture
of
our
organizational
performance,
helping
provide
direction
for
our
strategic
and
operational
improvements.
H
Wrc
manages
54.6
billion
dollars
worth
of
Assets
in
the
ground
in
Oakland
County
today,
and
these
are
managed
through
the
County's
collaborative
asset
management
system
or
cams.
The
cam
system
provides
the
ability
to
collect
quantifiable
data
that
was
used
in
the
key
performance
indicators
on
the
previous
slide
and
to
optimize
predictive,
preventative
and
corrective
operations
and
maintenance
for
all
the
systems
under
our
jurisdiction.
This
maintenance
program,
along
with
our
asset
optimization
program,
is
critical
for
extending
the
useful
life
of
the
system
components
and
to
prevent
premature
failure.
It
also
promotes
oh.
B
L
L
H
Yeah
our
goal
is
20
corrective
maintenance.
So
what
that
means
is
that
if
you
have
more
than
20
corrective
you're
waiting
for
things
to
fail
and
you're
very
reactive,
if
you
have
a
significantly
less
than
20
percent
corrective,
that
means
that
you're
over
predictive
maintenance
and
maybe
not
spending
your
money
on
the
right
thing
at
the
right
time.
So
we
do
have
a
kpi
that
we
manage
for
all
of
our
systems
to
that
measure,
and
you
can
see
I
think
on
this
slide.
H
Yes,
you
can
see
so
this
site
is
by
money
when
I
see
20
it's
by
work
order
count,
because,
obviously
your
corrective
is
going
to
be
your
high
money
and
they
wanted
to
do
it
by
money.
But
we
go
by
work
order
count
and
we
are
other
than
a
few
systems
that
we've
recently
taken
over
that
kind
of
delayed
some
corrective
maintenance.
We
are
fairly
regularly
in
that
15
to
25
corrective.
A
Yeah
so
since
this
is
a
presentation
and
you're
fine
with
questions
in
between
I
did
set
up
a
split
screen
because
I
didn't
see
your
name.
Yeah
I
know
fancy.
So
if
you
do
want
to
raise
your
hand
and
I'll
be
sure
to
call
on
you,
okay,.
A
H
In
a
little
bit,
we'll
have
other
projects
on
it.
The
I-75
tunnel
boring,
so
anyone
that
lives
in
the
corridor
knows
that
project
going
on
and
actually
that's
one
of
our
highlighted
projects
Gary's
going
to
talk
about
how
we're
involved
in
that
nice.
Okay,
thank.
B
H
H
Yeah
we
have
an
idep
program
and
we
do
estimate
every
year
they
find
a.
You
know
we
do
inspections
on
a
certain
percentage
of
our
outfalls.
This
is
not
my
unit
so
I'm.
Hopefully
we
can
get
that
answered
a
little
more
detail,
but
they
do
inspections
on
outfalls
and
they
make
an
estimate
when
they
see
the
outfalls,
they
notice
a
contaminant.
H
H
I
Sorry,
since
we're
like
at
a
good
Breaking
Point
with
questions
on
slide
nine,
you
had
a
map
of
storm
water
drains
and
I'm
just
curious
as
someone
who
doesn't
know:
storm
water
drained
infrastructure,
my
folks
live
in
Oakland,
County
or
Oakland
Township
and
I.
I
know
that
you
all
are
working
on
on
some
stuff
right
right
by
their
house
at
the
Norwood
Pines
area.
I
R
Those
are
actually
excuse
me.
Those
are
actually
chapter
18
drainage
districts.
Those
are
the
two
townships
in
Oakland
County
who've
chosen
to
make
it
so
that
every
one
of
their
subdivision
drains,
rather
than
leave
it
to
the
subdivision
or
the
local
Road
commissions,
they
create
a
chapter,
18
drainage,
district
and
and
have
create
an
official
County
drain.
R
A
A
H
Took
over
both
Pleasant
Ridge
and
Sylvan
Lake
and
we've
been
in
talks
for
at
least
five
years
with
both
of
those
communities.
They
had
very
small
gpw
staff
that
was
looking
at
retiring
or
had
already
retired,
and
because,
like
Jim
Nash
mentioned,
we
have
a
quantity
of
scale
with
fewer
people,
so
less
expensive.
We
can
do
what
they
do.
Also.
We
have
better
response
to
emergencies
because
we
have
a
huge
amount
of
staff
than
they
were
with
the
limited
staff.
H
So
that's
where
we
can
be
very
efficient,
so
a
lot
of
the
smaller
communities
that
currently
have
their
own
DPW.
It's
actually
a
problem
in
our
industry.
Over
35
percent
of
the
active
employees
in
our
industry
will
be
eligible
for
retirement
in
the
next
three
years,
so
we're
seeing
that
across
the
county,
we're
seeing
that
across
the
country
and
that's
why
a
lot
of
these
smaller
utilities
are
turning
to
us
as
a
solution.
H
Just
want
to
highlight
our
maintenance
program
and
our
asset
optimization
program
as
those
are
critical
to
balancing
the
useful
life
and
the
risk,
and
this
promotes
our
long-term
sustainability
and
the
reliability.
As
Jim
mentioned.
That's
one
of
our
key
indicators
for
the
utilities
we
maintain
at
the
lowest
minimum
cost.
H
Mean
spending
no
money
on
maintenance
and
capital,
it's
actually
the
opposite.
It's
doing
the
right
thing
to
the
right
asset
at
the
right
time
to
minimize
that
total
life
cycle
cost
and
the
risk
of
failure
to
our
systems.
So
here
at
WRC,
we
look
at
the
five-year
and
the
20-year
life
cycle
projections
and
create
an
overall
Capital
plan
in
our
fiscal
year,
2022
plan
included
over
250
million
dollars
in
maintenance
and
Capital
Improvements
throughout
the
utilities
we
maintain.
H
So
what
are
those
Capital?
Solutions?
Look
like
in
fiscal
year,
2022
pressures
from
inflation,
I'm
sure
you
guys
have
had
that
come
across
your
desk
have
been
driving
our
costs,
Higher
and
Higher,
and
we
needed
to
work
to
reduce
that
impact
to
our
customer
communities,
and
we
did
that
by
spending
significant
resources
on
applying
for
and
receiving
three
clean
water,
State
revolving
fund
loans
and
five
clean
water,
non-pouring
source
projects
bringing
over
30
million
dollars
in
Grants
and
principal
forgiveness
to
the
customers
we
receive.
H
In
addition,
we
were
awarded
over
150
million
in
low
interest
loans,
which
will
save
our
customer
communities
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
in
interest
over
the
next
20
years.
So
now,
I'm
going
to
hand
it
off
to
Joel
Brown
our
chief
engineer
over
our
project
units
to
discuss
one
of
our
Innovative
projects.
P
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Commissioners,
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
today
I'll
be
going
over
projects
that
we
have
on
the
Oakland
Macomb
Interceptor
drain
or
what
we
refer
to
as
Omid
system.
There's
a
couple
pieces
of
infrastructure
actually
Downstream
of
the
omit
system
that
we're
working
on
currently
right
now.
One
such
piece
of
infrastructure
is
the
Northeast
sewage
pump
station,
which
is
located
at
Eight,
Mile
and
Van
Dyke.
It's
at
the
top
of
your
screen
there
in
the
city
of
Detroit.
It
receives
flow
from
over
800
000
residents,
part
of
the
omit
system.
P
It
is.
It
has
a
contract
capacity
over
270
million
gallons
a
day
that
it
can
push
through.
It
was
built
in
the
1970s
and
as
such,
a
lot
of
the
equipment
inside
the
station
is
Antiquated
end
of
life
and
is
in
need
of
replacement.
Immediately
Downstream
of
the
Northeast
sewage
pump
station
lies
the
north
Interceptor
East
arm.
P
There's
a
stretch
of
about
seven
miles
of
Interceptor
pipe,
ranging
from
17
foot
in
diameter
at
the
Northeast
sewage
pump
station
down
to
eight
foot
in
diameter,
at
Mack,
Avenue
and
Gratiot
Avenue
in
the
city
of
Detroit,
which
is
sorry
at
the
south.
End
of
this
screen
there
from
there
that
that
particular
piece
of
pipe
is
omit
only
flow
and
then
at
Mac
and
Gratiot
Avenue
with
all
the
Nia
receives
flow
from
the
city
of
Detroit,
where
it's
combined
and
then
it
proceeds
on
down
to
the
Detroit
Water
resource
recovery
facility.
P
Now
the
Nia
itself
has
a
couple
of
locations
of
distress
in
which
hydrogen
sulfide
corrosion
is
acting
within
the
Interceptor
and
basically,
what
that
is
is
there's
bacteria
in
the
Interceptor
that
feeds
on
the
hydrogen
and
sulfide
in
the
sewage
and
basically
that
they
convert
that
to
sulfuric
acid,
which
then
corrodes
the
concrete.
So
it's
detrimental
to
the
pipe
and
it's
most
prevalent
in
cases
where
the
sewage
is
agitated,
where
the
hydrogen
sulfide
gets
in
the
atmosphere
within
the
sewer
and
where
the
bacteria
can
then
feed
on
it
and
that's
within
the
Nia.
P
So
it
was
a
huge
win
from
The
Omen
system
going
in
the
projects
themselves.
If
you
could
skip
back
to
the
Nia
it's
going
by
itself
here,
so
I
just
want
to
talk
about
the
slip
lining
operation
that
we're
doing
immediately.
Downstream
of
the
Northeast
sewage
pump
station,
we're
still
planning
approximately
1700
feet
of
pipe
which
slip
lining
is
pipe
within
a
pipe
as
far
as
a
rehab
opportunity.
P
What
material
is
that
slip
lining
made
up
so
I
was
actually
just
going
to
speak
to
that
okay,
so
there
was
actually
three
materials
that
we
utilize
as
part
of
this
project
channel
line,
which
is,
on
the
lower
left
hand,
corner
of
the
screen
stiff
pipe,
which
is
kind
of
a
carbon
reinforcement
and
then
rock
hard,
which
is
a
reinforced
polymer,
concrete
material.
P
So
what
we
actually
did
as
far
as
an
innovation
in
the
bidding
process,
we
allowed
these
three
pipe
materials
that
we
vetted,
that
we
knew
were
viable
in
the
system
to
compete
with
one
another
for
the
footage
that
they
could
install
on
the
project.
So
we
actually
had
what
ended
up
being
a
global
competition
for
footage
within
the
pipe.
So
it
was
good
for
our
repair,
it's
good
for
the
project
in
terms
of
reducing
pricing
and
actually
the
channel
line
pipe
is
made
in
Dubai
India.
So
it
really
was
a
global
competition.
P
So
continuing
on
to
the
Northeast
sewage
pump
station
again,
like
I,
said
in
the
beginning,
we
needed
to
do
a
complete
Rehabilitation
of
this
station,
a
complete
gutting
of
the
mechanical
electrical
components,
and
you
see
that
and
the
picture
is
taking
place
with
the
motors
and
the
pumps
and
the
valves
within
the
station
itself,
and
then
the
electrical
switch
gears
in
the
middle
of
your
page
there.
But
actually
one
of
the
most
interesting
aspects
about
this
project
is
is
in
the
procurement
and
that
a
traditional
job
will
do
a
design.
P
That's
done
by
an
engineer
and
then
we'll
light
it
out
to
bid
for
contractors
and
then
actually
construct
the
project.
Well,
in
this
particular
case,
we
actually
utilize
an
alternative
delivery
method,
called
construction
manager
at
risk,
and
what
that
allowed
us
to
do
is
bring
the
contractor
on
board
early
in
the
process
design
process
and
then
once
the
equipment
was
known
to
be
to
be
able
to
be
procured,
we
actually
allowed
the
contractor
to
procure
those
long
lead
items
to
actually
expedite
the
job.
P
This
actually
proved
critical
for
this
project
because,
early
on
in
the
construction,
we
lost
one
of
the
Transformers
on
the
site,
so
we
lost
our
system
redundancy
from
the
electrical
perspective
at
the
site,
and
we
asked
the
contractor
to
expedite
that
transform.
We
were
able
to
get
it
out
quickly
and
restore
system
redundancy,
and
what
we're
looking
at
in
this
marketplace
now
is
more
alternative
deliveries
like
this,
because
what
we're
seeing
across
the
water
and
wastewater
industry
is
severely
long
lead
times
for
major
pieces
of
equipment
in
the
electrical
and
pump
Realms.
G
Rick
acid
was
kind
of
basically
in
very
late
person.
Terms
was
eating
away
at
the
pipe
and
that's
kind
of
how
we've
ended
up
in
some
mess.
We're
in
right
correct
is
there
anything
to
say
that
that
problem
exists
elsewhere
within
the
system
and
is
that
a
concern
is
that
something
we
need
to
address?
Obviously
it's
great
you
guys
are
addressing
this
particular
section
of
of
the
system.
Yes,
but
are
there
a
lot
more
of
these
that
we
should
be
aware
of
and
prepared
for
for
down
the
road,
or
is
that
so.
P
It
does
Exist
Elsewhere
in
the
system
and
it
certainly
depends
on
the
characteristics
of
the
sewage
flow
and
in
particular,
if
there's
retention,
the
longer
sewage
sits,
the
more
development
of
of
sulfates
and
the
hydrogen
sulfide
gets
generated
off
of
there,
but
we're
actually
doing
in
the
omit
system
is
we
actually
looked
at
this
problem
holistically
and
we
engage
in
a
series
of
basically
order
control
devices
where
we're
capturing
the
hydrogen
sulfide
in
the
air
and
treating
it
through
a
bio,
trickling
filter,
that's
actually
on
the
site
at
the
Northeast
sewage
pump
station,
so
we're
actually
stripping
it
out
of
the
sewer,
so
it
can't
manifest
and
and
and
turn
into
sulfuric
acid.
P
H
I
will
also
say
just
how
we
had
a
lot
of
meat
preventative
maintenance.
We
have
flagged
all
of
the
pipes,
Downstream
of
confluences
drop
connections,
pump
stations
any
place
where
it
would
be
stirred
up.
Those
are
on
a
much
shorter
inspection
frequency
than
our
other
pipes
at
lower
risk.
So
we
do
a
lot
of
managing
risk
at
our
office
risk
versus
reward,
and
so
these
hydrogen
sulfide
susceptible
materials,
Downstream
of
a
place
that
would
Stir,
It,
Up
and
create
those
gases,
are
definitely
on
an
increased
inspection
frequency
and
we
are
monitoring
them
and.
P
P
P
And
to
your
point
about
inspection,
so
actually
Upstream
within
the
Omid
system,
we
didn't
really
have
an
ability
to
hold
back
flow
to
even
get
in
there
to
see.
What's
going
on
in
the
pipe
and
actually
over
the
last
decade,
we
implemented
a
series
of
control
structures
which
are
Gates
that
we
put
in
the
sewer
flow.
P
So
we
could
hold
it
back
to
be
able
to
get
in
the
pipe
and
look
at
what's
going
on
and
so
we're
implementing
now
talking
about
preventer
maintenance,
we're
implementing
a
inspection
policy
on
a
rotation
to
make
sure
that
we're
looking
at
this
infrastructure.
So
it
doesn't
reach
this
kind
of
state
state
where
we
have
to
do
major
rehabilitation.
A
So
in
the
spirit
of
geeking
out
even
further,
is
there
like
barometric
pressure
that
you
have
to
be
aware
of
when
you're
80
feet
down
in
the
ground,
I'm
just
curious,
not
just
equipment,
so.
P
I
actually,
to
take
a
step
back,
they
used
to
do
that
for
tunneling
operations
and
they
actually
pressurized
the
tunnel
and
worked
under
that.
It
introduces
complications
with
getting
the
bends
if
you
will
so
that
practice
really
isn't
used
anymore,
but
anything
within
the
Interceptor
is
kind
of
exposed
to
the
open
atmosphere,
because
we
open
the
manholes
or
open
shafts
up
so
you're,
not
really
feeling
any
any
pressure
from
the
atmosphere.
In
that
regard.
R
I
used
to
call
it
caisson
sickness
and
before
they
really
understood
what
was
happening
back
when
they
would
pressurize
these
shafts
say,
like
you
know,
when
they're
building
things
like
the
Brooklyn
Bridge,
and
things
like
that,
where
these
these
workers
were
working
under
a
pressurized
environment
and
what
happens
is
nitrogen
can
get
into
your
Bloods
into
your
blood
and
too
much
gets
in
your
blood?
R
G
A
H
I'm
gonna
take
the
next
project.
This
is
the
Evergreen
Farmington
sanitary
drain.
It's
located
in
southern
Oakland
County
and
serves
15
County
communities
over
the
next
four
years.
Our
office
will
be
constructing
a
force
Main
and
improvements
to
a
pump
station
along
Eight
Mile
Road
as
part
of
our
corrective
action
plan
to
eliminate
sanitary
sewer
overflows
to
the
Rouge
River.
The
Evergreen
Farmington
sanitary
drain
currently
provides
sanitary
sewer
service
to
over
300
000
Oakland
County
residents.
The
story
here
is
not
the
complexity
of
the
project.
H
H
But
we
didn't
stop
there,
as
Joel
mentioned
due
to
coordinating
timing
of
the
work
among
these
three
parties,
as
well
as
our
permitting
agency,
the
Michigan
Department
of
Great
Lakes
water
authority,
our
office
was
able
to
utilize
that
construction
manager
at
risk
to
procure
these
long
lead
items
such
as
our
generators,
our
pumps
and
our
electrical
system.
That
really
is
what
made
this
timing
of
our
three
projects
come
together.
H
So
this
is
the
first
project
in
the
state
of
Michigan
to
utilize.
The
state
revolving
fund
for
that
seamar
type
of
work.
It's
also
the
first
project
in
Michigan
to
utilize
the
state
revolving
fund
Loan
program
for
the
purchase
of
capacity.
So
we
really
did
have
to
work
hard
with
our
Regulators
over
the
last
year
to
make
these
sort
of
groundbreaking
things
happen.
H
So
this
Innovation
and
thinking
by
our
projects,
team
really
capitalized
on
a
regional
opportunity
and
optimized
the
value
for
investment
and
improving
water
quality
to
our
customer
communities
back
to
the
five
core
values
that
we're
focusing
on
so
so
next
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
Gary
Nigro
who's,
going
to
talk
about
a
few
Innovations
and
collaborative
opportunities.
His
team
has
been.
R
Photographs
that
that
you
were
asking
about
earlier
so
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
Georgia
vehicle,
so
in
southeast
Oakland
County,
a
lot
of
the
communities
in
that
area
are
Are
all
combined
system,
meaning
that
meaning
that
the
same
pipe
carry
sanitary
sewage
as
well
as
storm
drainage.
So
and
we've
been
called,
we've
been
called
to
try
to
separate.
You
know
the
whole
industry's
saying
like
do
your
best
to
separate
the
entire
system,
the
best
your
ability,
but.
A
I'm
sorry
I
do
want
to
interrupt
you
really
quickly.
Gary
yeah
I'm
getting
a
little
feedback
from
a
microphone
online.
So
if
it's
someone
who
I
don't
want
to
call
any
names,
but
if
you
could
just
check
your
mute
and
we'll
we'll
keep
going
go
ahead
die.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
R
So
there
there's
been
studies
over
the
last
decade
or
so
that
that
estimate
the
cost
to
separate
the
entire
drainage
system
so
that
it's
no
longer
combined
a
combined
system
but
separate
into
storm
and
sanitary
up
to
First
Southeast
to
Michigan
up
to
10
10
billion
dollars
that
that
kind
of
range
of
money,
so
but
so
I'm
going
to
flash
forward
now
to
well.
Let
me
back
up
here
so
currently
I-75
between
12
Mile
and
Eight
Mile
roads
is
a
depressed.
R
Freeway
I
mean
it's
built
below
all
the
streets
and
the
in
the
businesses
for
Highway
noise
regulations,
but
because
of
it
being
below
all
of
the
you
know,
all
of
the
surface
streets
and
everything
you
have
to
do
something
about
the
storm
water.
Every
time
it
rains
the
highway,
collects
water
like
a
big
bathtub
right,
big
trapezoid
cut
out
of
the
earth
so
over
the
last
50
or
so
years.
R
They
have
all
these
MDOT
had
these
storm
pump
stations
and
there's
about
five
of
them
between
that
stretch,
at
12
and
8
Mile,
and
in
order
to
do
the
I-75
modernization
project
which
they're
in
phase
three
right
now
doing.
13
Mile
to
eight
mile,
they
wanted
to
add
additional
Lanes.
Well,
it
was
gonna.
It
was
going
to
end
up
cutting
into
those
pump
stations,
so
they
knew
they
had
to
remove
all
the
pump
stations.
The
question
was:
do
they
rebuild
them
and
put
them
a
little
farther
outside
outside
of
the
road
road
right
away?
R
The
option
they
chose
to
do
was
to
put
in
a
a
deep
storm
water,
conveyance
and
storage
tunnel
instead
of
the
pump
station,
so
rather
so
the
location
of
each
one
of
these
pump
stations
that
exists
today
that
are
being
removed.
The
water
will
drop
through
a
capture
shaft
at
those
pump
stations
and
go
into
this
enormous
tunnel
that
you
see
like.
So
it's
a
it's
going
to
be
four
miles
long
and
it's
about
14
feet
in
diameter
and
it'll
store
about
25
million
gallons
of
storm
water.
R
Their
office
approached
us
MDOT
did
about
five
years
ago
and
said
hey.
We
want
to
build
this
big
tunnel
under
I-75
and
we're
going
to
have
a
single
dewatering
pump
station
to
to
do
water
that
tunnel
back
into
the
George
W
Kuhn
retention,
treatment,
Basin,
which
is
a
combined
retention
treatment
Basin.
So
at
that
point
we
said
well,
how
can
you
separate
it
how
why
put
it
back
into
the
combined
system
so
and
they
and
they
sort
of
went
like
we
got
a
big
project
to
do
here.
R
R
So
I
did
some
negotiating
with
MDOT,
and
not
only
did
they
finally
agree,
but
they
actually
agreed
to
pay
for
those
additional
costs,
so
that
tunnel
and
pump
station
by
the
way
is
about
a
250
million
dollar
project.
R
Just
just
the
tunnel
portion
the
the
entire
length
of
the
all
the
bridge
work
and
the
highway
work
is
about
1.4
billion
dollars,
and
so
I
wanted
to
point
that
out
to
say
just
separating
out
I-75
by
that's
that
storm
water
pump
station
and
tunnel
quarter
quarter
of
a
billion
dollars
to
do
that.
Yeah.
R
To
add,
to
add
this
extra
little
piece
to
separate
it
and
put
it
in
one
of
our
separated
storm
pipe
was
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
more
wow
wow,
so
I
I
kind
of
looked
at
that
and
went
like
this
is
low
hanging
fruit.
You
got
it.
We
have
to
do
this.
You
know
so
plus
I
had
their
Outlets,
so
they
kind
of
they
kind
of
had
to
do
what
I
said
so
so,
but
anyway
it's
it's.
It's
going
to
be
a
very
interesting
project
and
it's
by
the
way.
R
If
people
aren't
aware
that
tunnel
boring
machine
is,
is
probably
about
80
90
percent
complete
right
now,
it's
somewhere
south
of
696,
probably
around
Nine
Mile
right
now,
it's
scheduled
to
be
completed.
This
fall
in
2023
and
the
entire
project
took
about
three
and
a
half.
Four
years
to
complete,
so
the
pump
station
is
under
construction
right
now,
that
is,
on
Oakland
County
property
on
the
WRC
or
the
George.
Jubicoon
basin's
property
and
MDOT
is
Contracting
with
our
office
to
actually
operate
that
pump
station
on
their
behalf.
R
So
pretty
pretty
cool
project.
It's
about
110
feet
below
the
ground
too,
so
and
then
actually.
A
What
I
mean
what
I
mean
is
we
have
a
queue
of
speakers
and
I'm
just
going
to
try
to
let
them
finish
the
slides
and
there's
a
q?
There's
a
question
slide:
okay,.
R
Great
great
yeah
I
like
questions
as
you
can
tell
us,
I'm
excited
about
this
one,
but
but
the
other
project
there
on
the
far
right
slide
is
just
a
photograph
of
the
Dequindre
Pump
Station.
So
this
is
the
dewatering
pump
station
that
was
built
originally
in
1972
as
part
of
our
as
part
of
our
gwk
Basin,
and
it
was
about
50
years
old
and
seeing
its
age
and
so
a
couple
about
a
year
ago
we
completed
a
complete
Rehabilitation
project
added
a
couple
Innovative
new
new
ideas.
R
As
far
as
things
are
going
to
increase
the
access
to
the
pumps
for
maintenance,
so
hopefully,
hopefully
will
be
more
sustainable
in
the
future,
but
but
it
was,
it
was
definitely
a
need
and
we
were
able
to
do
that.
Entire
project
out
of
system
reserve
funds,
so
it
was
about
seven
million
dollars
to
to
completely
rehab
that
station.
So
it's
got
690
horsepower
pumps
for
reference,
pretty
it's
pretty
big.
So.
A
I
No
thank
you.
This
was
really
cool
and
I
feel
bad
backtracking.
My
questions
about
hydrogen
sulfide
on
the
subject
of
geeking
out.
How
is
it
a
lot
of
hydrogen
sulfide
and
have
we
worked
with
researchers
to
convert
it
to
energy
because
I,
that
is
an
emerging
field
of
of
research,
or
are
we
just
burning
it
away
like?
Is
this
a
potential
Revenue
stream
is
what
I'm
wondering.
P
I
Product
so
I
Googled
it
and
Rice
University
last
year
published
a
pretty
interesting
piece.
Where
quote
it
can
turn
into
a
cash
cow
with
a
new
Catalyst
that
uses
Nano
gold
particles.
P
Oh
okay,
so
yeah
there's
an
additive
to
make
it
be
able
to
yes
burn
so
I
guess
we
have
have
not
looked
into
that
particular
aspect.
To
answer
your
question
correctly,
on
that
we're
certainly
receptive,
as
you
can
see,
with
our
presentation,
we're
open
to
ideas
and
being
Innovative
and
capturing
that
there's
actually
a
project
that
in
Gary's
group
that
we're
trying
to
use
microorganisms
to
basically
deliver
Alternative
Energy
like
in
that
fashion,
but
we
haven't
explored
that
for
Omid
per
se
just
yet.
Okay,
interesting
thanks,
commissioner.
G
Robin
well,
thank
you
all
for
the
incredible
presentation.
I
found
it
really
informational
and
pretty
interesting.
You
had
mentioned
that
they're
removing
the
pump
stations
currently
along
75..
Is
there
any
repurposing
of
those
pumps
themselves
or
is
that
part
of
the
new
pump
station
that
they're
building
or
what
happens
I
guess
once
those
pumps
are
removed?
Well,.
R
The
old
pumps
there
was
five
pump
stations
and
each
one
I
don't
know
how
many
pumps
are
in
each
one,
but
the
size
of
them
and
the
age
of
them
would
make
them
not
not
capable
of
doing
what
the
new
pump
station
can
do,
which
is
110
feet
deep.
All
the
new
ones
or
the
existing
ones
are
maybe
only
30
feet.
R
A
30
foot
lift
and
the
pumps
are
much
smaller,
so
they're
going
to
have
four
400
horsepower
pumps
that
have
to
lift
110
feet
of
head
of
water
to
get
up
to
the
top.
So
the
the
old
pump
stations
are
at
the
end
of
their
life.
Okay,.
H
Me
know
specifically
what
MDOT
was
doing,
but
the
MDOT
did
publish
an
asset
management
plan
in
2020
that
stated
95
percent
of
their
pump
stations
along
I-75,
not
just
the
ones
in
Oakland
County,
were
in
poor
condition,
so
they
might
have
saved
some
of
the
motor
windings
or
whatever
to
change
out
that
are
in
better
condition
than
some
of
their
existing
pump
stations.
But
these
were
pump
stations
that
needed
work
regardless
of
the
move.
So
it's
not
going
to
provide
a
lot
of
value
except
for
you
know
of
their
vintage.
H
R
A
E
A
D
Q
Think
one
of
the
biggest
in
the
country-
it's
it's,
it's
really
huge,
so
you'd
be
impressed
by
it.
We'd
love
to
do
it.
We've
talked
about
it
before
having
you
guys,
come
to
a
yeah.
Well,.
Q
And
we'd
love
to
do
that.
Yeah.
G
E
Is
that
bigger
or
might
connect
to
the
was
it
from
696
100
Middle
Belt
tunnel?
No,
that's
not
bigger!
Oh.
R
Yeah
I
think
that's
correct
this
one's
this
right
here
by
the
way
that
the
clean
picture
on
the
left
is
just
a
cutting
head.
Oh
yeah
of
the
actual
TBM
tunnel,
Boring
Machine,
sorry,
when
it's
fully
assembled
underground,
it's
about
400
feet
long
so
and
then
just
for
frame
of
reference.
I
think
that
tunnel
shaft
that
you're
looking
at
there
in
the
middle
picture
is
about
54
feet
in
diameter.
Approximately.
R
So
it's
and
it's
110
feet
down,
and
the
county
wave
Master
said
that
when
they
had
when
they
pulled
this
thing
out
of
the
ground,
to
move
it
to
put
it
back
in
and
go
go
from,
696
South
that
it
was
by
far
the
largest
thing.
That's
ever
been
moved
on
an
Oakland
County
Road.
It's
it's
over
700
000
pounds.
Oh
yeah.
E
Well,
big
cranes:
the
other
question,
so
you
mentioned
it'll,
keep
from
putting
waste
into
the
Rouge.
Is
this
part
of
the
the
Rouge
River
Pump
Station
system,
where
it
run
like
the
dirty
water
runs
through?
They
shoot
it
with
chlorine
or
whatever
chemical,
and
it
shoots
back
into
the
roots
to
kind
of
clean
it
up.
H
H
The
Evergreen
Farm
agent
sanitary
drain
is
sort
of
in
the
upper
reaches
of
the
Rouge
in
southern
Oakland
County,
and
this
is
sanitary
sewer
overflow.
So,
in
order
to
prevent
sewage
from
getting
into
basements
getting
into
contact
with
the
public,
that's
sort
of
our
number
one
priority
is.
We
do
have
certain
points
that
we
overflow
to
the
Rouge
River
to
protect
that
public
health,
so
those
locations,
obviously
they're
illegal.
You
can't
overflow
more
than
once
in
10
years
per
the
EPA
in
the
Michigan
State
Standards.
So
that's
what
we're
working
to
eliminate.
H
In
addition,
the
city
of
Detroit
and
Great
Lakes
water
authority
have
a
different
permit,
but
that
limits
their
combined
sewer
overflows
to
different
limits
depending
on
the
location
and
so
our
goal
as
a
region.
The
further
up
in
the
Rouge
Branch.
You
can
eliminate
those
overflows,
the
better
quality.
Further
down
the
branch
you
get
so
we're
working
with
Detroit
to
eliminate
some
of
the
they're
high,
reaching
combined
sewer
overflows
and
we're
removing
our
two
remaining
SSO
locations
on
The,
Root,
River,
okay,.
H
A
sanitary
per
Michigan
law
sanitary
systems
cannot
go
into
those
systems
that
Gary
is
talking
about.
They
only
provide
primary
treatment.
Sanitary
separated
sanitary
systems
are
required
to
get
secondary
treatment
for
Michigan
law.
Thank.
E
A
Excellent
I
do
have
a
question
for
you.
It
was
brought
up
by
one
of
the
analysts
to
inquire
for
good
measure
with
regards
to
the
hexavalent
chromium
spill
in
the
Huron
River
some
time
ago,
in
Wixom,
South,
Lyon
and
I.
The
gist
of
it
was
in
terms
of
the
supports
for
the
health
department
here
at
Oakland.
County
just
were
you
involved
at
all
and
if
any
in
any
way
to
support
that
matter,
you're.
A
R
Yes,
so
the
the
company
that
was
identified,
tribar,
International
I,
think
is
their
name
they're.
Basically,
they
have
a
release
that
goes
whatever
happened
within
that
company
itself
had
a
release
and
it
went.
It
went
into
the
sanitary
system
which,
in
that
area,
where
they're
located
in
I
guess
that's
I
think
that's
Wixom.
R
It
actually
flows
through
wixom's
wastewater
treatment
plant,
so
Wixom
Wixom
operates,
operates
their
own
plant
or
they
have
contracts
that
do
it,
I
think
so
so,
as
far
as
what
they
were
able
to
do
to
help
capture
it,
it's
a
little
difficult
but
wastewater
treatment
plants
aren't
designed
to
filter
out.
R
Q
Q
We
don't
really
have
anything
to
do
with
them
directly,
so
we
don't
have
a
much
of
a
role
in
those
kind
of
things
unless
it
affects
something
of
ours
and-
and
you
know,
there's
an
industrial
pre-treatment
program
that
means
that
any
any
industrial
flow
that
comes
into
our
facilities,
we
have
to
test
what's
in
it,
and
so
then
you
know
charge
them
for
what
we
have
to
do
to
fix
it.
So
that's
that's.
A
Not
our
place,
no
visibility,
absolutely
all
right.
Well,
that
was
one
one
same
hand
up
from
before
yeah.
E
S
I,
just
have
one
thing:
if
you
can
hear
me
real
quick.
Yes,
you
just
said:
oh
Sid,
yeah,
Sid,
Lockhart,
yeah
I
just
want.
We
just
want
to
give
you
a
peek
around
the
curtain
of
23
and
Gary
can
expand
this
to
commissioner
Nash
as
we're
working
at
the
Wastewater
recovery
facility
and
we're
looking
to
do
a
co-generation
project.
We
will.
S
We
will
be
bringing
the
biogas
to
create
energy
if
we
can
get
enough
funding
for
that
part
of
the
project
and
with
that
we
do
have
to
strip
the
H2S
in
order
for
the
engines
to
clean
the
gas
and
to
burn
it
essentially.
But
hopefully
we
talk
about
that
in
23.
Coming
up.
A
Exciting
and
I
can
see
Commissioners,
Johnson
and
Miller
nodding
with
Glee.
So
we'll
keep
us
posted
on
that
for
sure.
Well,.
Q
I
can
tell
you
I'm,
I'm,
really
proud,
first
of
all,
the
job
these
folks
do
and
all
the
people
that
work.
For
me,
we
have
amazing
people
at
this
County
and
so
I
I
want
to
kind
of
stress
that
some
of
the
things
we've
talked
about
the
the
Evergreen
Farmington
project,
different
things
like
that.
We
helped
pass
a
regional
stormwater
ordinance.
Q
Recently,
all
these
things
we
had
to
convince
our
regulatory
authorities
Eagle
that
this
was
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
it
took
some
some
effort
for
us
to
do
that
because
they
traditionally
do
everything
in
a
silo.
Everything
is
independently
regulated.
We
show
them
that
if
we
do
this
on
a
regional
basis,
we
can
all
save
money.
We
all
save
cleaner
water
and
in
the
long
run,
this
is
going
to
be
the
much
more
sustainable
way
of
doing
it.
Q
So
we
we
got
together
with
the
our
surrounding
counties
on
our
stormwater
ordinances,
on
a
project
like
this,
and
that's
I
think
that's
really
very,
very
important
to
continue
doing
this
because
we're
much
stronger
when
we
act
as
a
region
than
we
act
individually
and
now
we're
beginning
to
to
get
these
Regulators.
To
really
understand
that
so
I
think
we're
going
to
do
much
more
in
the
future
of
on
a
regional
basis.
So
I'm
real,
proud
of
that.

That
and
I
will
have
you
prompt
the
vote.
