Oakland-macomb Interceptor Drain Project -- Project Plan Overview -- (june 10, 2009)

Oakland–Macomb Interceptor Drain Rehabilitation State Revolving Fund – Project Plan Overview Public Meeting – June 10, 2009

What is the OMI? • The OMI is the Oakland Macomb Interceptor Sewer. • The OMI transports much of the sanitary sewage from Oakland and Macomb Counties to the Detroit Water & Sewerage Department (DWSD) for treatment. • The OMI is a 21 mile long pipe tunnel. • The OMI is between 3’ 0” and 12’ 9” in diameter (mostly over 8’) • The OMI is buried up to 100 ‘ deep. • The OMI serves about 830,000 people.

Where is the OMI located? • Begins at Dequindre and Avon Roads – An arm follows M-59 • Follows Clinton River and Utica Road to Dodge Park Road. • Follows Dodge Park Rd. to 15 Mile Road. • Follows 15 Mile Rd, to the ITC (Edison) Corridor • Follows the ITC Corridor to 9 Mile Road. • Follows the Railroad ROW to just south of Eight Mile Road.

What is the History of the OMI? • Built in the early 1970s by Detroit Water and Sewerage Department • Series of Construction Contracts • Included the 15 Mile and Romeo Arms in Macomb County • Three Collapses on15 Mile – 1978, 1980, 2004 • Major Disruption Occurred – Loss of Service – Environmental Impairment – Surface Disruption • $200,000,000 in Repair Costs (current dollars)

What Disruption is Caused by a Collapse?

What is the OMI’s Current Condition? • The OMI was inspected in 2007 and 2008. • Visual inspection was conducted by staff and by using CCTV. • Much of the pipe exhibited moderate to severe deterioration. • Voids were detected above the pipe in a number of areas. • Infiltration through cracks will continue to deteriorate the pipe.

Why is the Project Needed? • The OMI was constructed using the same design, materials and contractors in the same soil conditions and at the same time as the 15 Mile Road Interceptor. • The 15 Mile Road Interceptor has failed three times with catastrophic results. • Rehab will prevent environmental impairment. • Rehab of the OMI will prevent collapse at costs far less than future repairs.

Where are the Problem Areas? • High Distress Areas – – – – – –

Avon Arm (M-59) – 2 areas 15 Mile west of corridor Corridor south of 15 Mile Corridor at I-696 Corridor at 10 ½ Mile Corridor south of 10 Mile

• Medium Distress Areas – – – – –

Utica south of M-59 Dodge Park south of 18 Mile Dodge Park south of 16 Mile Corridor north of 12 Mile Corridor south of 11 ½ Mile

• Localized Distress Throughout

What are the Alternatives? Three Alternatives were analyzed • The first is the “No Action” Alternative • The second is the “Replacement” Alternative • The third is the “Rehabilitation” Alternative

What is the No Action Alternative? • THE OMI would remain in service with no repair or rehabilitation. • Structural defects would remain and expand. • Pipe failure – collapse – could be anticipated at some unknown time. • Initial Capital cost would be Zero. • Additional user cost would be Zero. • Future Repair cost could be Significant. • Potential Environmental Impact is Severe.

What is the Replacement Alternative? • The existing pipe would be replaced in a tunnel roughly paralleling the current route. • Construction would disrupt many neighborhoods. • Initial Capital Cost would be $499,000,000. • Additional User Cost would be about $103 per year per customer over 20 years.

• INSERT FIG 7

What is the Rehabilitation Alternative? • Control Structures would be constructed to allow work inside the tunnel while maintaining service to customers. • Structural lining would be constructed in severely deteriorated areas. • Cracks and leaks would be sealed to prevent further deterioration. • Initial Capital Cost would be about $160,000,000. • Additional User Cost would be about $35 per year per customer over 20 years.

What Alternative has been selected? • The Rehabilitation Alternative provides for construction leading to a tunnel with a useful life of at least 20 years. • The alternative does not require area-wide disruption that Replacement would. • The alternative will protect against catastrophic collapse that is a potential of No Action. • The annual user cost of about $35.00 (over 20 years) will be much less than potential repair costs and is a reasonable addition to current rates.

What are the Social & Environmental Impacts? • Without Replacement or repair collapse of the OMI could cause up to 83 million gallons of raw sewage to be discharged by tributary communities per day. • During Rehabilitation surface disruption to open-space and parkland may take place that will be mitigated upon completion. • Minor construction related impacts will also occur. These impacts include additional noise, dust, sediment and traffic. These will be minimized by staging construction and implementing best management practices. • No Historical or Archeological sites will be disturbed as part of the Rehabilitation.
