Summary of Specifications:
The purpose of this project is to reduce erosion, stabilize the channel, minimize long term maintenance required, and improve water quality in Malletts Creek. Proposed work will be located in two sections of the Creek (see Attachment B).
• Malletts Creek Drain - Washtenaw to Chalmers Road. • County Farm Park Drain (Malletts Creek) - from Manchester to Platt
The project is listed on the State Revolving Loan Fund 2011 FY Project Priority List, and is eligible for loan forgiveness through the Green Project Reserve. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/deq/deq-ess-mfs-SRF-SRFiupppl2 11_330528_7.pdf
The City of Ann Arbor’s Capital Improvement Plan includes sanitary system work in the area upstream of Huron Parkway. Streambank restoration in this area will be planned in conjunction with that project in terms of access, staging, earth moving, restoration, and contractor coordination. Further details are forthcoming.
This project represents a substantial collaboration between the County and the City. While the County will act as owner, manager and day to day consultant contact, City staff will be involved in decision making.
Two USGS gauges are currently installed in Malletts Creek, one upstream and one downstream. The downstream gauge has been in place for 10+ years; the upstream gauge for 1 year.
