MOTION PASSES (7 to 0)
7.a Approval of Minutes
To approve minutes of the February 28, 2023 Regular Meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the minutes.
7.b Sale of 1379 Pine Street
Staff is requesting approval of a purchase agreement for 1379 Pine Street.
1379 Pine Street was constructed through the agreement with Dave
Dusendang to construct infill housing with ARPA funding. The offer is for
the full listing price with no seller concessions. The offer also includes
costs to cover appliances and air conditioning.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the purchase agreement for
1379 Pine Street.
7.c Sale of 263 Catherine Avenue
Staff is requesting approval of a purchase agreement for 263 Catherine
Avenue. 263 Catherine Avenue was constructed through the agreement
with Dave Dusendang to construct infill housing with ARPA funding. The
offer is for $6,000 over the full listing price with $6,000 in seller
concessions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the purchase agreement for
263 Catherine.
7.d Sale of 1373 Pine Street
Staff is requesting approval of a purchase agreement for 1373 Pine Street.
1373 Pine Street was constructed through the agreement with Dave
2
Dusendang to construct infill housing with ARPA funding. The offer is
over the full listing price with 6% seller concessions. The offer also
includes costs to cover appliances. Once the appliances and seller
concessions are accounted for, the offer is for full price.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the purchase agreement for
1373 Pine Street.
7.e Arena Solar Power Purchase Agreement
Charthouse Energy proposes, with financial backing by Sunwealth, LLC,
to place solar panels on the roof the Trinity Health Arena and sell the
energy to the City under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to reduce
the City’s energy costs over the 25 year life of the system.
This item was discussed at the July, 2020 work session and the April 27 th,
2021 regular meeting before being approved in a prior format at the June
8th, 2021 meeting. Due to tax issues, it was then rescinded at the June
14th, 2022 meeting. The tax issues have been resolved due to additional
incentives being available under the IIJA, so a new financier (Sunwealth,
LLC) has agreed to take the project on.
The updated proposal was reviewed with the Commission at the February
13, 2023 Work Session meeting. After positive feedback and a legal
review of the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) by Matthew Greenberg of
Miller Canfield (at the recommendation of City Attorney John Schrier, as
Mr. Greenberg assisted the City in developing the 2021 rescinded
agreement), staff is pleased to present the proposal and PPA for formal
adoption by the City Commission.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To enter into a 25 Year Power Purchase
Agreement contract with Sunwealth, LLC to purchase power at a reduced
cost from a solar generating facility installed on the Trinity Health Arena
roof, and authorize the Manager to sign.
7.f Laketon-Lakeshore DNR Trust Fund Grant
The City intends to apply for MDNR Trust Fund grants for the Laketon-
Lakeshore Trail Connector and would like public feedback on the project
and application. Two grants will be submitted for the project, one for the
portion from Laketon to Apple and one for the portion from Apple to
Shoreline, in order to maximize the potential for funding. This is based on
recommendations from the West Michigan Trails & Greenways Coalition
and Prein & Newhof, who have helped the City with an application for
3
MDOT Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) funding for the trail.
The DNR Trust Fund grants and the MDOT TAP grant funds are able to
match each other, potentially reducing the City’s contribution.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize staff to apply for MDNR Trust
Fund grants for the Laketon-Lakeshore Trail Connector.
7.g Portable Restroom Service Extension
Staff requests approval for a one-year extension to a three-year contract
from 2020 with Kerkstra Portable Restroom Service for the 2023 season.
Staff reached out to other area companies seeking to determine the
market, and found that Kerkstra Portable Restroom Service is the only
company able and willing to service Muskegon for the 2023 season.
Kerkstra has offered updated pricing, which staff has confirmed is still well
below the market rates offered by the competitors, again none of which
are even able or willing to provide the number of units required by the City.
Staff plans to re-bid a three-year contract in fall of 2023 with hopes the
market will be more open to and supportive of providing portable restroom
service to the Muskegon market.
The majority of cost is from the Parks budget, however the boat launch
ramps, special events such as Taste of Muskegon and the fireworks, the
farmers market and the Western Market all use these services as well.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $30,000
AMOUNT BUDGETED: $15,000 (Parks) / $15,000 (Other)
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 101-770 and Various
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize staff to enter into a one-year
extension of the City's contract with Kerkstra Portable Restroom Service
for the 2023 season.
7.h CCTV Services for Sewer Mains
Staff requests award of a three-year contract to Rogue Industrial Services
for cleaning and televising services in the City’s sanitary and storm sewer
systems. Staff issued a public bid for sewer cleaning and televising
services to supplement staff capacity on complex and/or large televising
projects. In 2023, this contract will be used to televise the sewers in Apple
Avenue in advance of MDOT’s fiscal year 2026 reconstruction project to
assist staff when deciding which sewers may need repairs or replacement
4
in advance of or as a part of the MDOT project. In future years, staff will
use this contract for televising of sewers when needed in large sections of
the City or on a tight deadline, such as for Clean Water State Revolving
Fund projects. Rogue Industrial Services has performed work for many
West Michigan communities as shown in their attached proposal, and is
recommended based on their work history and their low bid.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $79,109 (Three Years)
AMOUNT BUDGETED: $25,000 (FY2023)
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 590 (Sewer)/202 (Highway)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize staff to enter into a three-year
contract with Rogue Industrial Services for cleaning and televising service
in the City's sanitary and storm sewer systems.
7.i EGLE Brownfield Grant/Loan Application for Shaw-Walker Project
Typically, these applications are run through the Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority, but they are already applicants for funding on
behalf of Adelaide Pointe and cannot submit two requests in the same
program year. EGLE has indicated that the city may directly apply on
behalf of the Shaw-Walker project.
We have worked closely with Environmental Resource Group for several
months on the environmental needs that are anticipated at Shaw-Walker,
and with vapor mitigation needed for all buildings the costs will be
substantial. EGLE administers an annual program that allows public
entities to apply for up to $1,000,000 in grant funds and up to $1,000,000
in loan funds. Regardless of whether the local Brownfield Board or the city
serves as the applicant, all loan/grant applications are considered backed
by the full faith and credit of the city.
Parkland has asked for the city commission to allow the city to serve as
the applicant for these funds, and has agreed to make sure the city is
made whole either through TIF capture (the typical repayment method) or
direct payment if TIF revenues are insufficient. ERG will do the leg work
on the actual application and submittal, and work with our staff during
implementation if funding is achieved for all necessary reporting. Staff
recommends approval of this request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize staff to apply for EGLE
Brownfield Grant/Loan Funding for use at the Shaw Walker Project in an
amount of $2,000,000.

Market and needs an Off-Premises Tasting Room License and a Social
District License.
FUND OR ACCOUNT: $1,000 revenue to Liquor Licenses
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the resolution requesting an

10.b 1170 W. Southern Avenue (MOCAP Building) Property Sale/Transfer
MOCAP operates out of 1170 W. Southern Ave. This is currently a City
owned property and MOCAP has expressed a desire to own the
building/property the organization has been operating out of for many
years. This action will, through a multi-step process, transfer that property
to MOCAP via the Hume Home of Muskegon. The City will receive $3,000
for the sale.
The Muskegon-Oceana Community Action Partnership (MOCAP)
operates out of a building (a former City fire station) at 1170 W. Southern
6
Ave. MOCAP has been in the building for many years. MOCAP wishes to
purchase the property from the City for a variety of different reasons.
The City originally obtained the property from the Hume Home of
Muskegon in 1950 paying $3,000. The purchase agreement has a deed
restriction which states that when the City stops using the property for
municipal purposes the Hume Home may exercise its right to repurchase
the property for the same amount the City purchased it.
The Hume Home of Muskegon is comfortable with the property being
purchased by MOCAP, however, because of the deed restrictions from the
1950s the Hume Home of Muskegon is going to exercise its right to
purchase the property back for $3,000 (paid to the City) and then sell it to
MOCAP for $3,000.
This two-step process will cure any questions regarding the property
transfer/deed restriction and will allow MOCAP to take ownership of a
building it has operated in and maintained for many years.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the sale of 1170 W. Southern
Avenue back to the Hume Home of Muskegon for the sum of $3,000 as
provided for in the original 1950 purchase agreement and authorize the
City Manager to sign all closing documents.
Action No. 2023-47(b)
Motion by: Commissioner Ramsey
Second by: Commissioner Emory

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: April 25, 2023 Title: Adelaide Pointe Construction Engineering
Submitted By: Dan VanderHeide Department: DPW
Brief Summary: Staff requests authorization to enter into a contract with ENG. Inc. to perform third-
party construction engineering services for the roads and public utilities on the Adelaide Pointe
development site.
Detailed Summary & Background: In February of 2022 at the developers request, staff issued an
RFP for design and construction engineering services at Adelaide Pointe. At the time it was
thought that the hired firm would design and oversee the installation of the public infrastructure.
Three firms submitted, and a summary of the qualifications-based scoring is shown to the right.
ENG. was the highest-scoring firm, although no Submitting Score
award was made due to changes in how the design
and contracting was done. Firm (Base 1000)
The developers engineer ended up designing the HRC, Inc. 730
project, and permits are now being issued. ENG. Inc. 825
Construction on the public infrastructure is expected
to begin this month, and may be completed this year. Edgewater Resources 355
The need for construction engineering services has not changed, and in fact is now greater than
before due to the developer’s engineer having designed the infrastructure. ENG. has submitted a
revised proposal that covers only the construction services. Staff find their proposal as compelling
as before, and requests authorization to hire them to oversee this historic investment in
Muskegon’s waterfront.
This is an unbudgeted item for FY23, however all costs are covered by special funds (roads, water
and sewer). The costs will be budgeted in FY24 as shown below.
Goal/Focus Area/Action Item Addressed: 2022-2.6 – Complete Adelaide Pointe Improvements
Amount Requested: $25,000 (FY23) Amount Budgeted: $0 (FY23)
$281,250 (FY24) $281,250 (FY24)
Fund(s) or Account(s): $60,637.50 (Water, 591) Fund(s) or Account(s): Same
$43,487.50 (Sewer, 590)
$202,125 (Streets, 203)
Recommended Motion:
Authorize staff to enter into a contract with ENG. Inc. for third-party construction engineering
services for the public infrastructure at the Adelaide Pointe site in the amount of $306,250.

CITY OF MUSKEGON
RFP – ADELAIDE POINTE UTILITY & ROADWAY EXTENSIONS
MARCH 22, 2022 – REVISED APRIL 2023
II. STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING
The City of Muskegon is looking to extend public utilities and public road access through portions of the property
known as Adelaide Pointe. The project will be a coordinated effort through agreements with the developer of
Adelaide Pointe and in conjunction with the Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment Authority. The multi-use
development at 1204 W. Western Avenue is located on the south shore of Muskegon Lake on 30 acres of land
and includes plans to build 300 residential condos, a 270-slip floating marina, boat storage, and restaurant and
retail space. The proposed site will require public water main for domestic and fire protection capabilities,
sanitary sewer system, sanitary pump station and force main, storm water management system, and the
coordination of private utility (electric, gas, fiber, etc.) service to the site.
The subject property is the former site of Westran Austin Trailer Division and former foundry of West Michigan
Steel. Due to decades of industrial use, remediation of the property is the first step for the development. The
Adelaide Pointe developers’ team is in the process of pursuing Brownfield incentives (grants / loans) to remove
the old foundry waste, slag and asbestos which exists at the site. The developers’ team is also looking to acquire
a $1.5 million grant administered by and through the Department of Natural Resources and US Fish & Wildlife
Service for construction of the marina portion of the project.
The developers’ team has applied for a Part 301/303 (Inland Lakes & Streams and Wetland Protection) permit
through the Michigan Department of Energy, Great Lakes, and the Environment (EGLE) for construction and
improvement of the two marina basins as well as mitigation of the existing on-site wetlands which will be
impacted by the development. The creation of the marina basin will include the removal of foundry sands placed
in Muskegon Lake over many decades and will be instrumental for the development of the public improvements,
as the sands will be utilized to raise the site. We understand that no signs of contamination have been identified
and the sand material will be adequate to utilize.
Two existing buildings on the southern portion of the site will remain and are currently in the process of being
renovated into a 165,000-square-foot boat storage business.
The construction of the public improvements will be funded by Brownfield incentives and City of Muskegon tax
capture as a result of the improvements. The project will require topographical survey, existing utility
investigation and analysis, soil borings, EGLE joint permit for construction within the floodplain, EGLE Act 399
permit for water supply system, EGLE Part 41 permit for sanitary sewer construction, storm water management
system, roadway design, internal and public meetings, and construction administration, engineering, and
inspection. All plans, specifications, estimates, and construction engineering must comply with City of Muskegon
standards.
We have reviewed the scope of services and have built a schedule to meet the milestone schedule provided. We
have provided that schedule following the Method of Approach & Preliminary Execution Plan section of this
proposal.
The roadway improvements will consist of approximately 1,200 feet of roadway reconstruction and public utility
work within W. Western Avenue west of Franklin Street to the dead-end cul-de-sac. The existing roadway from
Franklin Street to approximately 600 feet west entails a 40-foot-wide HMA roadway with concrete curb and gutter
and concrete sidewalks each side within a 66-foot-wide right-of-way. This section of roadway is in fair to poor
condition with extensive block cracking. The concrete sidewalk is in fair condition here and could be salvaged
in lieu of replacement. Several concrete approaches exist in poor condition and could potentially be eliminated
based on the future development plans.
The remaining portion of W. Western Avenue from the dead-end cul-de-sac to 600 feet east entails a 30-foot-
wide HMA surface with an extended 10-foot-wide concrete valley gutter on each side which abuts concrete
sidewalks. The arrangement was likely to accommodate the previous industrial use which allowed ease of access
for larger vehicles. This section of roadway is in fair to poor condition with extensive block cracking in the HMA
and significant cracking in the concrete valley gutter. The concrete sidewalk on the south side of the roadway is
in fair condition with significant portions that could be salvaged absent a section through a drive approach on the
west end. The sidewalk on the north side is in poor condition and will likely need replacement.
CITY OF MUSKEGON
RFP – ADELAIDE POINTE UTILITY & ROADWAY EXTENSIONS
MARCH 22, 2022 – REVISED APRIL 2023
The new roadways within the proposed Adelaide Pointe development equate to approximately 3,350 feet in length
and should be designed and constructed in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 78 of the City of
Muskegon Code of Ordinances. The ordinance outlines requirements which include a concrete curb and gutter
roadway and sidewalks within a 66-foot public road right-of-way for local streets, among other design
requirements. The conceptual layout of the new roadways consists of two (2) traffic circles and two (2) traffic
calming intersections. The design of these features should consider adequate geometry to allow for vehicular
truck turning movements, snowplowing by City trucks, and future maintenance and improvements.
The Lakeshore bike trail currently extends through the property near the water’s edge. Modifications to the
alignment of the HMA bike trail as a result of the project will be completed by the developers’ design team.
However, coordination will be required as part of a harmonious complete project.
The water distribution system for the proposed development will require preparation of a basis of design as part
of the Act 399 EGLE permit application. The basis of design will require coordination with the developers’
design team for domestic usage and fire suppression needs. Modeling of the water system may be required to
adequately design the system. The existing 6-inch water main within the reconstruction limits of W. Western
Avenue will require an upsizing to 8-inch (at a minimum) to provide adequate pressure to the development. The
water main from the development should connect into the new W. Western main at two (2) locations for reliability,
as well as looping to the existing 6-inch near the boat launch at Hartshorn. Both domestic and fire suppression
service(s) should be stubbed out to each proposed building location and preferred locations coordinated with the
developers’ design team. Fire hydrants should be placed at 500-foot maximum intervals and at locations
conducive to fire prevention within the development.
The sanitary sewer system for the proposed development will consist of gravity sewer, force main, and a sanitary
pump station. The system will require preparation of a basis of design as part the Part 41 EGLE application. The
basis of design will require coordination with the developers’ design team and will function in tandem with the
water main basis of design. A gravity sewer system will be made available to each building proposed at the
development. The preferred locations of the sewer service stubs should be coordinated with the developers’
design team. The plans to raise the site 1 to 3 feet should allow the opportunity to keep the sanitary sewer above
the Ordinary High-Water Mark of Muskegon Lake and ideally above the highest known groundwater level to
alleviate extensive inflow and infiltration over time.
We anticipate utilizing a typical Kennedy supplied Flygt submersible duplex station within a precast concrete
structure and do not anticipate a generator being required at this time. Coordination with the electrical service
provider will be required to provide adequate service to the station. An easement to the City may be required if
the station cannot adequately fit within the 66-foot roadway right-of-way. A sanitary force main will be required
with a connection point into the existing 15-inch City sanitary sewer system near 1083 W. Western Avenue. The
discharge configuration into the gravity system will likely require a force main discharge manhole and interior
drop piping, depending on the depth of the existing sanitary sewer. Evaluation of the existing manhole should
also be completed to determine if the existing structure can be retrofitted to save costs.
Preliminary design drawings for the overall development of Adelaide Pointe propose several Best Management
Practices as part of the storm water management plan, including green roofs, bioswales, and storm water quality
units. The contaminated soil at the site requires that alternative water quality and treatment options be explored
to not flush this material and contaminants into Muskegon Lake via traditional infiltration techniques such as
perforated pipes, leaching basins, detention ponds, traditional rain gardens or perforated pavement. Channel
Protection and Flood Control requirements as outlined in the Muskegon County Site Development Rules with
Procedures and Design Standards for Stormwater Management should not be required due to the site’s proximity
to Muskegon Lake.
The project currently intends to utilize two new storm water outfalls to Muskegon Lake which will require a Part
301 permit from EGLE. The outlet pipes will have inverts above the ordinary high water (OHM) of Muskegon
Lake. The enclosed storm sewer system for the public infrastructure should account for runoff from the fully
developed site and contributing area and sized for the 10-year recurrence rainfall event with adequate emergency
overland overflow routes, to ensure no adverse impacts to existing and proposed structures. Drainage from the
CITY OF MUSKEGON
RFP – ADELAIDE POINTE UTILITY & ROADWAY EXTENSIONS
MARCH 22, 2022 – REVISED APRIL 2023
western portion of W. Western Avenue will likely need to be accommodated and passed through the new public
roadways of the development.
A geotechnical investigation will be required in order to adequately design the roadway and public utilities. The
site is located within an EGLE Area-Wide Assessment of Historic Fill of the Muskegon Lake Shoreline as part
of a 2008 study. The study identified the presence of foundry fill material, along with a significant number of
metals identified in the groundwater at concentrations in excess of the EGLE Part 201 Generic
Residential Cleanup Criteria (GRCC). The soil and groundwater contamination at the site represents evidence of
a Recognized Environmental Condition (REC) per the Phase I ESA completed by Fishbeck and dated 12/19/2021.
We anticipate that a Due Care Plan will be/has been created as part of the developers’ permitting process and to
receive brownfield incentives. The Due Care Plan will outline and describe the actions that must be undertaken
and are necessary to protect the public from exposure to contamination present in the soil, groundwater, and
subsurface vapors, to allow for the safe use of contaminated property, and to provide notifications to affected
parties.
If the site cleanup has not occurred prior to construction of the public utility and roadway improvements, action
and measures will need to be taken as part of the City project to be in adherence with the Due Care Plan, such as
removing contaminated soils to a Type III Landfill and/or treating contaminated groundwater prior to discharge
as part of dewatering activities.
We understand that the City is currently in negotiations with CSX Railroad and Michigan Shore Railroad to
acquire the abandoned 20-foot-wide rail line that runs from Rotary Park in downtown through the Lakeside
Neighborhood and ends at the Jaycees Launch Ramp. The acquisition would avoid significant permitting and
design costs for new roadway crossings and to bore and jack utilities across the line. If the negotiations are not
fruitful, acquisition of these permits would be a high priority critical path item, as lead times are significant to
come to an agreement.
Eng. understands that the construction phases of the project may utilize a multi-phase approach based upon
refinement of the final design, coordination with the developer’s design team, and funding availability.
Proposed engineering services for the project shall include the following phase:
Phase III – Construction Administration
Engineering supervision, full time on-site construction inspection, staking and layout, construction materials
testing, and construction administration are included in this phase. Construction administration will be conducted
by MDOT certified office technicians and includes submittal review and approval, the preparation and processing
of all documentation, review and response to requests for information, review of construction progress, SESC
reports, and testing reports in accordance with City and EGLE standards and requirements. All documentation
will be prepared using FieldManager software with accessibility for City staff.
We anticipate that construction staking and layout will be performed by the developers’ design team.
Construction materials testing is also included in this phase and includes aggregate and granular materials, initial
backfill materials, as well as HMA density testing.
A project manager will be assigned to the project to provide contract administrative duties. These duties include
interpreting the contract documents, review RFI’s, review and process pay applications, monitor schedule and bid
quantities, review shop drawings, coordinate and conduct progress meetings, review contract modifications and
prepare change orders, coordinate technical support required for engineering disciplines, and accept, document,
and log phone calls from residents.
Full time on-site construction inspection and observation shall include Inspector Daily Reports (IDRs) to
document all construction activities, materials, methods, locations, calculations, equipment, and manpower. IDRs
will be generated and submitted electronically to the City for review and distribution to the project stakeholders.

MARCH 22, 2022 – REVISED APRIL 2023
Any details requiring a follow up or further discussion shall be noted. In this event, the project manager will
provide direction to the contractor.
After substantial completion, the consultant will complete a final walk-through with the City, developers’ design
team, EGLE, and any other necessary stakeholders to develop a punch list of items that do not conform to the
approved plans and specifications. After completion of the punch list, a final completion inspection will be
performed, and final payment documents processed. Record drawings shall be prepared showing the as-built
layout and configuration. As-built drawings and project close-out documents shall be prepared in accordance
with City standards.
III. METHOD OF APPROACH & PRELIMINARY EXECUTION PLAN
Phase III – Construction Administration
Eng. will provide all construction engineering services necessary to administer the projects in accordance with
City, EGLE, and Muskegon County requirements, utilizing the current versions of FieldManager and
ProjectWise. Construction materials testing will be conducted by MDOT certified technicians for all aspects of
the project.
During the construction phase, it is important to keep the design team members involved reviewing shop
drawings, performing site visits, answering questions, and solving problems. Communication is key during all
phases of construction. Whether with the engineer, client, contractor, subconsultant or property owner, Eng.’s
inspectors are trained to over-communicate. At Eng., all our inspectors undergo a training using National Society
of Professional Engineers field guide as a basis. In addition, our professional staff are EGLE Certified for: Storm
Water Management – Construction Site A-1j, Comprehensive – Part 91, Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control
or the newer SESC Comprehensive.
Additionally, all our project engineers, project managers, team leaders, and client contacts are very hands-on
during construction. Direct coordination and communication ON SITE is an Eng. standard policy. During the
recent COVID-19 pandemic, Eng. easily adapted and excelled in remote working. All our employees have full
capabilities to work remotely, which includes in a vehicle on a construction site. It is normal to have a project
engineer or project manager work from a vehicle on-site on days where numerous questions are anticipated (such
as bore and jack operations). Eng. inspectors, when necessary, also utilize video communications to show live
conditions to the project engineer.
Construction Engineering will include the following services:
Engineering Supervision and Construction Certified Office Technician
• Preconstruction meeting
• Preconstruction preparation in FieldManager and ProjectWise
• Review shop drawings and submittals
• Regular site visits
• Answer questions, resolve conflicts
• Attend biweekly progress meetings
• Supervise field staff, subconsultant
• Monitor project progress
• Ensure quality control is maintained
• Prepare and maintain all project documentation
• Review and approve all wage rate and certified payroll (if necessary)
• Process biweekly pay estimates and contract modifications
• Project close-out

RFP – ADELAIDE POINTE UTILITY & ROADWAY EXTENSIONS
MARCH 22, 2022 – REVISED APRIL 2023
Construction Inspection (full-time on-site)
• Oversee all construction work
• Communicate with and assist property owners
• Perform and coordinate materials testing as detailed below
• Coordinate utility work
• Ensure adherence to plans and specifications
• Provide pictures and/or video clips to the City
• Monitor traffic control effectiveness
• Conduct SESC inspections and reports
• Document as-built conditions utilizing lead cards provided by the City
Materials Testing (Eng. or S&S)
• Trench backfill density
• Subbase density
• Aggregate base density
• HMA density
• Concrete testing
Materials Testing (S&S)
• Gradation testing
In an effort to be more cost competitive and in turn provide significant cost savings to projects and clients, Eng.
has started its own materials testing program. We have invested in nuclear density gauges and proper training
to ensure that testing requirements, accuracy, and performance far exceed the standard. Instead of having both
a construction inspector and a materials testing technician on-site, we now can offer both services by a single
inspector on-site. All of our inspectors complete the necessary training to become MDOT certified in Nuclear
Density In-Place, One-Point Michigan Cone, One-Point T-99, Michigan Modified T-180, and Speedy Moisture
Gauge. This allows Eng. inspectors to complete density testing for trench backfill, subbase, aggregate base, and
HMA which make up the majority of testing time on-site. When the same person is inspecting and conducting
density testing, more tests can be taken and documentation can be more accurate, to ensure the highest quality
results.
To make sure we have complete materials testing coverage, we will team up with S&S to provide abbreviated
construction materials testing as well. With an office less than 10 miles from the project site in Muskegon, S&S
is well-positioned to mobilize experienced engineers and technicians to this project. S&S routinely performs
geotechnical evaluations and construction materials services for the City. In addition, S&S has performed
multiple geotechnical evaluations for privately owned projects on parcels along this proposed project area. S&S
will provide materials testing services for concrete, gradation sampling and reporting as well as geotechnical
observations as required.
As stated above, communication is vital during construction. Whether with the contractor, client, utilities or
property owners and businesses, communication can make or break a construction project. Eng. has a proven
track record of strong communication during all aspects of a project. Eng. inspectors and project managers go
above and beyond to ensure everyone is “in the know” and any outstanding issues or questions are addressed in
a timely manner. This project will affect numerous residential properties, and a few commercial. Communication
with these properties, during design and then into construction, to understand the contractor hours of operation
and access needs, will be crucial to the success of the project.
Following construction, Eng. will complete final documentation, paperwork, and close-out. At the same time,
Eng. will prepare record drawings showing the configuration of the project as constructed. As-built
documentation will be prepared in accordance with the City’s documentation procedure. Each sheet will be
stamped as “RECORD COPY.” Check plots of the as-built drawings will be submitted to the City for review
within 60 days of project closeout. Following review, the final record drawings will be delivered in both PDF
and AutoCAD formats.

• Prospect Street Water Main and Street Improvements – City of Marshall
• East Drive, North Drive, and Mansion Street Improvements – City of Marshall
Almost all of our projects involve survey. Eng. Inc. is not just an engineering firm that has survey capabilities,
we are an engineering and surveying firm. While the survey team supports the engineering team for road
projects, we also work on survey-only projects. We have not completed a construction project without some
kind of survey involved.
Soil borings and geotechnical investigations are a standard practice for all road and utility projects. Eng. has
been teaming up with S&S for many years, and they have completed countless soil boring and geotechnical
investigations and reports for Eng. projects. We are proud to have such a strong relationship with them and look
forward to our continued partnership.
In summary, Eng. has completed design and construction engineering services for multiple projects that have
almost the exact elements and challenges as the Adelaide Pointe Utility & Roadway Extensions project. Eng. is
extremely confident in its ability to deliver a high-quality product, on time and on budget.
We have a very strong relationship with our municipal clients, and we encourage you to reach out to the following
references to discuss the quality of work, character, integrity, and competence of both Eng. as a firm and Ryan

Eng. Corporate Quality Control Standards
The American Council of Engineers publishes “Quality Management Guidelines” which is the guidance material
Eng., Inc. uses for our quality control standardization. Drawing from this material, our internal quality control
process is as follows:
Eng. has two Principals, Ryan C. McEnhill, PE and Erik J. Morris, PE. On every project or for every client,
Eng. assigns one Principal the task of QA/QC. Combined, the Principals have over a 50 years’ experience in
municipal civil engineering projects and bring this experience to bear in our review process.
QA/QC starts with the fundamental “scope/schedule/budget” as outlined by the Project Manager. This
document, usually a proposal, must be reviewed and signed by one of the Principals. When a project is awarded,
Eng. must obtain written authorization from the client before a new project number can be assigned. Our billing
system is based on project numbers; therefore, billings cannot occur without written authorization from the
client.
Once we start a project, these preliminary steps are discussed at an internal project kickoff meeting:
• Assignment of personnel
• Scope/schedule/budget
• List of deliverables
• Outline of specifications, drawing sets, number of sheets, format, and sheet order
Project tracking is done in three ways:
1. Weekly ½ hour meetings to schedule work in 2-week blocks, followed up with a bar chart for every
active project including:
• CAD drafting
• Survey
• Design
• QA/QC reviews
2. Monthly workload projection meetings with a 3-month spreadsheet. The spreadsheet totals budgets and
personnel workloads in 2-week blocks allowing for a long-term review of staff workloads vs. budgets.
3. All monthly invoices are reviewed by the designated Principal in Charge, along with the budget
worksheet with spent-to-date amounts.
Prior to delivery, a Principal reviews all final documents in detail. Similarly, at the end of every construction
project, we conduct a walk-through with the client to verify that all punch list items are reconciled and that
restoration is complete. By design, our size allows hands-on QA/QC by our Principals and is an on-going, daily
process.

Attention: Mr. Ryan McEnhill, P.E.
Regarding: Adelaide Pointe - Utilities & Roadway
Geotechnical Investigation
Muskegon, Muskegon County, Michigan
Dear Mr. McEnhill:
Soils & Structures, Inc. is pleased to present a quotation for geotechnical engineering services for the above
referenced project.
Geotechnical Services
A total of 18 test borings are proposed to evaluate the underlying soil conditions for the design and construction of
the proposed Adelaide Pointe - Utilities & Roadway project in Muskegon, Michigan. Tentatively, test borings
depths of 10 feet are proposed for a total of 180 feet of drilling and testing. We assume we will be able to
access the soil borings.
Soil borings will be backfilled with cuttings and/or bentonite chips. Soil borings performed in asphalt or concrete
will be patched with appropriate material. Excess cuttings will be disposed on site. We assume no other
restoration will be necessary.
Laboratory tests will be performed, as appropriate, on representative samples of the soil. The anticipated
laboratory tests include classification, water content, and sieve tests.
The report will be prepared by a registered geotechnical engineer and will include the following information.
▪ A description of the tests performed
▪ Discussion of the surface and subsurface conditions including groundwater conditions
▪ Recommendations for site preparation
▪ Recommendations for asphalt and or concrete paving
▪ Recommendations for groundwater management and drainage
▪ Recommendations for fill
▪ Recommendations for quality control testing

Commission Meeting Date: April 25, 2023 Title: Lakeshore & Southern Stop Sign Removal
Submitted By: Dan VanderHeide Department: DPW
Brief Summary: Staff requests approval of Traffic Control Order #78-(2023)
Detailed Summary & Background:
The Michigan Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MMUTCD), the document that provides
guidance for installation of traffic controls, includes provisions for stop-controlled intersections such
as:
The combined vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian volume entering the intersection from all
approaches averages more than 2,000 units per day, and
An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar design
and operating characteristics where multi-way stop control would improve traffic operational
characteristics of the intersection.
In the spring of 2022, a stop sign was installed at Lakeshore and Southern in accordance with the
above criteria. In consultation with the Nims Neighborhood Association, DPW and the
neighborhood request the stop sign be removed. It has not contributed to safety, and in fact has
added to noise pollution in the area as cars speed away from the stop sign. Stop signs installed at
Michigan and Franklin and at Western and Franklin around the same time have yielded better
results, are not proposed for removal, and will continue to be monitored.

Planning Commission Packet Excerpt:
March 16, 2023
Hearing, Case 2023-08: Staff initiated request to amend the B-2, B-4, I-1, I-2 and MC sections of the zoning
ordinance to allow marihuana processing facilities without extraction methods classified as hazardous under
the Michigan Building Code as a special use permitted.
SUMMARY
1. All marihuana license types are allowed within the original marihuana facilities overlay district. Other
certain license types are allowed at extensions of the marihuana facilities overlay district, located at
various places throughout the City (See map).
2. At the beginning of the marihuana overlay district creation, prices of properties began to increase
exponentially. This led to many local residents being priced out of the industry.
3. In 2021, the City amended the zoning ordinance to allow certain low-intensity license types to locate
in B-2, B-4, MC, I-1 & I-2 districts with the issuance of a special use permit. These license types include
Class B Grows (500 plants), microbusinesses and designated consumption establishments. This helped
local residents obtain properties at more affordable prices.
4. Processing centers were not considered for the 2021 amendment because of concerns over the dangers
associated with the creation of concentrates. However, the State of Michigan now issues different types
of processing licenses, including those that do create concentrates with hazardous extraction methods
and those that do not. Those that do not may be doing nothing more than repacking products or
combining different aspects of the plant together.

March 16, 2023
Hearing, Case 2023-07: Staff initiated request to amend the form-based code section of the zoning ordinance
to allow carriage houses with only a one-story minimum requirement and only a 20-foot depth requirement.
SUMMARY
1. A carriage house is an accessory structure that provides either a small residential unit or home office
space behind the principal structure.
2. Carriage houses are allowed in Form Based Code, Urban Residential zones, but they are required to
be at least two stories.
3. They are considered accessory structures and are only allowed on properties that have an existing
house. Properties are only allowed to have one accessory structure, so a detached garage and a
separate carriage house would not be allowed. You are allowed to have a carriage house unit above a
detached garage.
4. The proposed amendment would allow carriage houses that are only one story tall, but still allowing
for a two story maximum. It would essentially allow carriage houses without a garage beneath them.
It would not allow for a separate carriage house and a detached garage.
5. Most existing garages in the City are only one story tall. The amendment would allow the conversion
of these garages to carriage houses, as long as they meet all other zoning requirements.
6. The house and carriage house may not cover more than 50% of the property.
7. A carriage house may not have a larger footprint than the house.
8. The minimum size required for a carriage house is 375 sf.
9. The ordinance currently states that a carriage house cant exceed 36 feet in width and must be a
minimum of 30 feet deep. Staff is also proposing to amend the minimum depth requirement to 20
feet. The current depth requirement is too large for someone that wants a small sized carriage house.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Muskegon is the lead agency for a unique partnership with other HUD grantee municipalities:
Muskegon Heights and Norton Shores. Our Regional Consolidated Plan is used to encompass
communities that use CDBG funds for specific National Objectives to accomplish the goals set by each
city Annual Action Plan for the next 3 years. The city of Muskegon is the only recipient of the HOME
Partnership funds however, the HOME ARP funds are not specifically limited to our city limits.
Our Action plan for 2023 will be supported with CDBG, HOME and HOME ARP funds through the
department of Community and Neighborhood Services of the City of Muskegon from the Department of
Housing and Urban Development. The City also utilizes other funding secured through other funding to
leverage funding for our community that may expand outside of the City of Muskegon to include
surrounding communities. These other grants include, Medicaid Chip funding to support Lead
Abatement, Senior millage to assist low income seniors with health and safety concerns and Healthy
Homes which also provides health and safety home repairs to families who are either elderly or have
children in their home under 5 years of age. Leveraging these dollars helps to offset cost or provide
more assistance to families who need multiple repairs.
*The activities and budget for the Annual Action Plan is proposed and subject to change due to funding
amounts for the new year and commission approval.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to

upkeep of the home.
Residential Facade- $70,000 will be committed for vinyl siding replacement on homes with wood siding
that has peeling and chipped paint.
Fire Station Bond- $236,759.58 has been committed for the upcoming year to secure repayment for the

projects.
Annual Action Plan 2
2023
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
There is currently a huge need for home repair services as reflected in the summary of accomplishments
for the past year. There was a total of 149 households served through our programs and 18 of which
were homebuyers and there continues to be a huge waitlist of families waiting for services in every
program offered. Completion of a housing study conducted throughout the entire county has concluded
that there is not enough affordable housing throw-out the area for renters or homeowners. All of our
efforts will be committed to improving these conditions with a mean to offer many types of housing that
is considered affordable, safe and appropriate for our community.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process
Summary from citizen participation section of plan.
The Citizen District Counsel was consulted to assist the city with selecting budget for the upcoming year,
determining necessary activities to continue and subrecipients to receive funding for the upcoming year.

Our jurisdiction is multi-partnered and coordinated through the Continuum of Care's contribution to
hold a meeting of service agencies associated with public health, mental and other
resource providers. The city participates on several boards and meeting circuits that add financial and
social benefit to our citizens. The level of coordination is monthly, quarterly and sometimes annually.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The city of Muskegon and our partnering grantees are represented with the Continuum of Care (CoC) for
Muskegon county. We have a coordinated effort to support the needs of homeless and to create ways
to avoid homelessness in our community by identifying those most at risk. We meet quarterly and as
often as needed to provide resources and information that address the needs of these vulnerable
categories. COC's steering counsel has representation for homeless families, veterans, seniors, disability
agencies, public health and housing authorities. Together the group collaborates to ensure that all
persons has adequate access to services that align with needs. Although, some individuals are not
directly served through our agencies, our partnership and collaboration ensure that none is left behind.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and

Table 5 - Expected Resources – Priority Table
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
Funds have been used to accomplish the needs of our set programs/projects and strategies to meet the needs of our community. Through a
multitude of sources, staff has been able to satisfy the requests of citizens. Our community does not have to match requirement but we can
offset higher costs through the leveraging of dollars from other grants. Our Federal funding has increased and we anticipate that we will receive
additional dollars this plan year. Fortunately, the city will be granted 1.5 Million from another department of HUD to serve county residents who
need Healthy Homes. In addition, our local funding of Muskegon County Senior Millage and Municipal grants offer assistance to seniors 60 and
older. Our DTE program is adding resources to our budget to cover homes in need of furnaces, water heaters, insulation with added health and
safety improvements as necessary.
In our last 2 decades, the city has been involved in Lead Hazard remediation and abatement housing repairs for homebuyers and owners. We
currently are assisting the county through this State funded program that supports Medicaid families who are vulnerable households with
children under the age of 6 with elevated Lead Blood Levels.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
Home Repairs are key to our community. Families need to have safe and decent living environments in
our community as well as where they reside. A large number of our citizens are senior (60+) and the
need for home repairs have been noted by longer waiting lists. The focus of allocations are based on
past practice programs that address the needs of those underserved with low income which has been
the greatest obstacles.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
Muskegon is made up of more than 15 neighborhoods that offer a variety of races, socio-economic
backgrounds and ratios of household demographics. This entitlement community is aware of where the
concentration of low-income and minority citizens reside. Our geographic areas of concern have
produced programs called Blight Fight initiatives, Neighborhood Associations, and intentional
engagement with citizens to improve the look and feel of safety, homeownership, improvements and
enhancements requested by the residents.

Target Area Percentage of Funds
Muskegon 100

Muskegon Heights
Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
Our geographic investments are always for our citizens within our city limits. 100% of our public
services and public facilities invest in this community. The residents of low-moderate incomes receive a
multitude of services through the funding of CDBG and HOME funded programs but also because of a
variety of county and state grants.
We find that our citizens are the priority as community development investments increase in our
downtown development. Other local funding awards can assist county residents and our citizens are
now able to access additional help.
Discussion
The Regional Consolidated Plan will provide a structure of how each entitlement community will derive
actions to create a safe, decent and affordable options for its citizens. Our collaborative events
and agreed upon strategies provide each community with options to address our own citizens
accordingly.

Introduction
Affordable housing continues to be the forefront our planning efforts within the City limits. The goal this
year is to work with the Continuum of Care to coordinate housing to homeless families. The city has
acquired 4 units that will be available to families to lease for one year, up to two years to support
permanent housing.
In addition to this, our HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds are used to offer Rental
Rehabilitation to existing Landlords, produce Homeownership homes and support the purchase of
housing within Muskegon city limits to qualifying buyers.
We continue to reach out to organizations to create more opportunity for Community Housing
Development Organizations (CHDO) for rental and homebuyer. this partnership is essential to the
development of housing in the community.

AP-60 Public Housing - 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Muskegon Housing Commission is a Public Housing Authority that has been approved to begin a
Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) project. RAD is an alternative program that will give
Management oversight as the property managers of rental units and removing HUD from a fiduciary
position. The city of Muskegon has been an active support to MHC through Board appointments.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
The Housing Commission has an active Resident Advisory Council (RAC)! Management has been
involved with the reinstatement of the advisory council because of the upcoming changes (renovations)
to happen through the RAD process. The residents have been included in the selection of flooring,
colors, and overall updates. Tenant involvement will continue until the construction is complete.
In addition to RAC, staff reports that another organized group shares and supports the RAC with special
events and monitoring through floor captains. Monthly events, movie nights, and personal care for
neighbors is at an all-time high.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
The current tenancy is not leaning towards homeownership. As of right now, the RAD project
will require that management reviews the interest of the residents to verify if they will remain
occupants of the Hartford Terrace building prior to the start of construction. Homeownership and other
rental opportunities will be discussed as needed. The city of Muskegon will assist if Homeownership is
requested.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
A troubled status has not been assigned to this housing authority.
Discussion
The Housing Commission has stabilized its opportunity to offer affordable housing that is both decent
and safe. Programs and outside resources are now present in the building on a regular basis. Tenant
participation is welcomed and received at monthly board meetings which has been a desired outcome
with new management.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.220(i)
Introduction
Special needs and homeless activities are supported through the efforts of our HOME ARP (American
Rescue Plan) allocation for 2021. Through this funding, HUD has allowed the city of Muskegon to lead
housing, shelter and services programs for vulnerable people experiencing these needs. Substantial
amendments itemizing these new resources will be identified in specific terms to describe the qualifying
population, programs providing services/resources, and affordable housing opportunities.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Homelessness and ending homelessness continues to be a priority with the City of Muskegon and the
community as a whole. The Continuum of Care coordinates the Point in Time counts that happen
quarterly to contact those who may be living in homelessness. Other efforts include coordinating with
local agencies with services that align with the housing first model.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City of Muskegon has four apartment style homes available to rent to low income families for
transitional housing. We have partnered with CoC and Community enCompass to use the housing first
model to house families on first come first serve basis.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
Our staff is preparing to produce affordable housing units for homeless, veterans, families with
transitional, permanent of independent living situations. Affordable housing purchases will create
housing units specific to the CoC families. This new opportunity will purchase existing properties for
affordable housing to this population only. The city will utilize HOME ARP funding to develop 1-4 multi-
family housing that will becomes homes to up to four families per development.
Annual Action Plan 29
2023
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
Yes, we will help low-income households avoid homeless situations by addressing their needs where
they are by using local agency resources. Community Health, Rescue Mission, and other connected
agencies that refer families for assistance. We work with our schools and social service agencies to
collectively meet the needs of our citizens.
Discussion
The city's initiatives are geared to addressing the housing crisis in our area. Recently, the city conducted
a Housing Needs Assessment that assessed many aspects of housing in our area and it was determined
that there are not sufficient vacant units available to support the current size of our community. the
data supports the need to increase housing by creating 300+ units of affordable housing throughout the
area to ensure there is housing for all. This will not be an easy or small task and will take us many years
to successfully respond and address this issue. We have begun to strategize methods to properly
respond to this issue.

AP-75 Action Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing - 91.220(j)
Introduction
Barriers to affordable housing is that there is not affordable and safe housing available to all city
residents. Affordable housing is very limited and the cost of rent continues to sore as need grows. The
city has provided a number of avenues to create housing choice- market rate, affordable and approval of
multifamily housing construction projects. Choice is the ultimate vision of a viable and inclusive city.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
Current barriers to zoning ordinance updates are present within neighborhoods that resist change. The
neighbors that see the positive effects of change have seen an increase in quality, new homes of varied
types of housing: duplexes, row-housing units, multifamily, and new constructions.
Discussion
The city continues to research the housing market to identify the gaps and assess the need for housing
in our community. The research will be turned into actionable items to impact the housing situation for
all of the community.

AP-85 Other Actions - 91.220(k)
Introduction
An Analysis of Impediment study is underway.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs are to continue to meet and
identify agencies to assist the underserved. The community has been in communication regarding the
need for a central location that all agencies would have access to individuals to help navigate and
connect with services and resources. This way will help encourage communication from one agency to
the next and ensure that people who could benefit from services are not slipping through the cracks.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
Actions reviewed to maintain affordable housing are to continue rehabbing properties for sale to
income eligible families and creating affordable rental property opportunities.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City of Muskegon has a Lead Safe program that is diligently working to remedy lead based pain in
homes that are pre 1978 and have Medicaid families living in them. Any home that is in the City of
Muskegon and receives a home repair will also have water tested to ensure water quality is free from
lead. Other actions the City has taken is to encourage citizens who are participating in home repair
programs that have young children to participate in the lead abatement program.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The plan to reduce the number of poverty-level families is always a collaborative effort of the City, local
agencies, Public Housing Authorities, Continuum of Care and the communities. Everyone together is
actively looking for innovative ways to fight this fight on poverty.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
Institutional structures in our city require investment in education, strong neighborhoods, and stable
housing.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
Social Service organizations have been able to partner with the city as we review opportunities to

remove barriers to public and private housing access. The coordination of a unified focus to reduce
homelessness in youth and provide affordable housing in the middle of a burst of new housing

Staff comments:
The Meadows at Harbor 31 is the third brownfield plan amendment for Harbor 31 LLC which includes
Trilogy and Viridian Shores.
The original property has been utilized for industrial use which has resulted in a widespread of
contamination across the property. The developer is in the process of completing a phase ESA and will
complete a BEA in the near future. The property is considered an eligible property as defined by act 381
due to the known soil contamination.
The plan includes a total eligible activity costs of $530,700 which includes department specific activities-
$50,700, due care activities- $400,000, contingency (15%)- $60,000, brownfield plan amendment/ act 381
work plan preparation- $15,000, and brownfield plan amendment implementation- $5,000.
The total cost for the local only MSF Non-Environmental Eligible activities is $1,430,435 which includes a
contingency of 15% and 2.5% interest. The total Developer EGLE and local only MSF eligible activities costs
is $1,961,135.
Additional eligible fees include the local only City of Muskegon eligible activities with a total cost of
$644,586.
The 2023 taxable value of the eligible property is $136,500. After completion of the development, the
taxable value is estimated at $2,800,000. This Plan Amendment assumes a 1% annual increase in the
taxable value of the eligible property. Initial capture is anticipated to begin in 2026 (after the sunset of
the Smart Zone tax abatement for the property).
Capture of tax increment revenues for Developer reimbursement is anticipated to commence in 2026
and end in 2045, a total of 22 years. This Plan Amendment assumes approximately three years of
additional capture of tax increment revenues (following Developer reimbursement) for deposit into a
Local Brownfield Revolving Fund, if available.

1.0 Introduction
The City of Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (the “Authority” or MBRA) was established by the City
of Muskegon pursuant to the Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act, Michigan Public Act 381 of 1996, as
amended (“Act 381”). The primary purpose of Act 381 is to encourage the redevelopment of eligible property by
providing economic development incentives through tax increment financing for certain eligible properties.
This Brownfield Plan Amendment (“Plan Amendment”) serves as an amendment to the City of Muskegon’s
existing Brownfield Plan, allowing the inclusion of the eligible property described in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 below.
Incorporation of eligible property into the City’s Brownfield Plan permits the use of tax increment financing to
reimburse The Meadows at Harbor 31, LLC (“Developer”) for the cost of eligible activities required to redevelop
the eligible property. See Attachment A for copies of Plan Amendment resolutions.
1.1 Proposed Redevelopment and Future Use for the Eligible Property
The Developer is proposing to redevelop a portion of the former Continental Motors industrial site located at 170
Viridian Drive, Muskegon, Michigan (the “Property”). Proposed redevelopment activities include the construction
of 21 two-story multi-family duplex style residential homes with surrounding grass lawn areas, sidewalks and
roadways (the “Project”). The Project will create a walkable community that provides access to Muskegon Lake,
greenspace areas, and downtown Muskegon. Sustainable development concepts are proposed throughout the
Project including green building techniques and low-impact development stormwater management. Total private
investment, not including property acquisition, is approximately $7,000,000. Project renderings are provided in
Attachment B.
The development is expected to start in Fall 2023 and continue through 2024.
1.2 Eligible Property Information
The 2.51-acre Property is located in downtown Muskegon along the south shore of Muskegon Lake. The Property
has been historically utilized for industrial purposes dating back to the 1800s. Based on historical environmental
investigations conducted over the past 25 years, these past industrial uses have resulted in widespread
contamination across the Property. Known contaminants in the soil with concentrations exceeding Michigan
Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) Part 201 Generic Residential Cleanup Criteria (GRCC)
include benzo(a)pyrene, fluoranthene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, arsenic, cadmium, chromium (total), copper,
lead, selenium, zinc, and nickel.
The Developer is not a liable party and is in the process of completing and Phase I ESA and will be completing a
Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA) in accordance with Part 201 of the Natural Resources and
Environmental Protect Act, 1995 PA 451, as amended (NREPA) associated with the anticipated purchase in Spring
2023.
Given the known soil contamination, the Property is a “facility” pursuant to Part 201 of NREPA. As such, it is
considered an “eligible property” as defined by the Michigan Redevelopment Financing Act, Act 381 of 1996.
Maps depicting the location and layout of the Property are attached as Figures 1 and 2. Historic environmental
data tables and associated sample location maps are provided in Attachment C.

eligible property is $136,500. After completion of the development, the taxable value is estimated at $2,800,000.
This Plan Amendment assumes a 1% annual increase in the taxable value of the eligible property. Initial capture is
anticipated to begin in 2026 (after the sunset of the Smart Zone tax abatement for the property).
The estimated captured taxable value for the redevelopment by year and in aggregate for each taxing jurisdiction
is depicted in tabular form (Table 1: Tax Increment Revenue Capture). Actual taxable values and tax increment
revenues may vary year to year based on economic and market conditions, tax incentives, building additions, and
property improvements, among other factors. The Plan also includes a flat fee of $5,000 of the local tax
increment for administrative and operating expenses of the City of Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment
Authority.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: April 25, 2023 Title: Parkland Marina
Agreement Amendment
Submitted By: Jonathan Seyferth Department: City Manager
Brief Summary:
This Amendment to the Parkland Marina Agreement seeks to make clear what public access will
look like once Parkland Marina has developed the property. The amendment also further defines
how public access will be maintained and what type of activities are allowed on the pier. This
language has also been updated following the Commission work session discussion on Monday,
April 10.
Detailed Summary & Background:
In early 2021 the City took action to sell a parking lot adjacent to Terrace Point Marina. The
parking lot was encumbered by an easement which gave the easement holder (the owner of
Terrace Point Marina) extensive rights over the property including the ability move drives and
access and no structures could be built by the City without the permission of the adjacent property
owner/easement holder. Parkland approached the City to purchase the property so they could
develop the area with the understanding that public access would be maintained. This would have
the additional benefit of creating additional taxable value for the City.
Earlier this year the City Commission requested staff work to get better detail on what public
access would be at the pier following development by Parkland Marina LLC. The updated
Amendment to the Development Agreement defines the following:
- Provides handicapped Parking near the Terrace Point Marina Clubhouse
- Provides two access points for pedestrians (see purple paths on the map in Exhibit A)
- Allows for fishing in dedicated areas
- Allows wagons/strollers on pier, allows bikes along the southerly access point
- Parkland agrees to make $250,000 worth of improvements to public access
- With the approval of the amendment, Parkland immediately grants the public the right and
a license to use the area in the same way as the former agreement.
- Parkland may only close public access for up to 30 days during construction to provide for
construction of its improvements (this may be extended with the permission of the City
Manager)
- A site plan (Exhibit A) of the final layout with public access noted is also included

Commission Action:
FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (the “First
Amendment”) is made as of April ____, 2023, by and between the CITY OF MUSKEGON, a
Michigan municipal corporation of 933 Terrace St. (the “City”); and PARKLAND MARINA,
LLC, a Michigan limited liability company of 75 W. Walton, Ste A, Muskegon, MI 49440
(“Parkland”) (the City and Parkland are sometimes collectively referred to as “Parties”).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, Parkland and its affiliates are the successor owner of the property formerly
owned by SPX Development Corporation located on Terrace Point Drive in Muskegon, Michigan;
WHEREAS, the Parties entered into that certain Development Agreement dated March 25,
2021 (the “Agreement”), for the development of certain property in the City of Muskegon known
generally as Parkland Marina and identified on Exhibit A of the Agreement (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this First Amendment for the mutual benefit of
the Parties to address the provision of a Public Access and to extend the time for Parkland’s
performance of the Agreement in order to facilitate disruptions to the schedule from a circuit court
lawsuit initiated by a neighboring property owner against the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
A. DEFINITIONS. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.
B. CONSIDERATION. The Agreement is amended to provide that Parkland shall pay the
City of Muskegon the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) as consideration for the
Property and the termination of the dedications associated with portions of the Property, within
five (5) days of execution of this First Amendment.
This amount is adequate consideration for the Property due to the following facts:
1. The Property’s parking lot was burdened with a parking easement for the benefit of
SPX Development Corporation, and later Parkland and its affiliates as successors.
Parkland’s guests and employees were the only parties permitted to use or park on
the Property’s parking lot.
2. The Property is heavily contaminated by hazardous materials due to its historical
use as a manufacturing facility. The Property is costly to develop and its market
value is diminished by the presence of contaminants. The Property’s parking lot
was installed to encapsulate volatile organic compounds within the soils.
Monitoring wells dot the site. Parkland’s proposed indoor boat storage concept
allows for the safe use of the Property with minimal disruption of contaminated
soils.
First Amendment to Development Agreement Page 1
3. Parkland is obligated to continue to provide public ingress and egress access to the
existing boardwalk located on the former SPX waterfront peninsula (the
“Boardwalk”).
4. Parkland has spent over $100,000 on planning, designs and permits for the Project.
5. Parkland is obligated to make a minimum of $2 million worth of improvements to
the Property of which at least $250,000 of these improvements will be accessible
to the general public. Productive use of the privately owned real estate will allow
the City, County and local school system to capture tens of thousands of tax dollars
annually that have never been captured while the Property was City owned. The
new facility will also create dozens of well-paying jobs.
C. PUBLIC ACCESS.
1. At the time Parkland commences construction of its minimum $2 million worth of
improvements to the Property, Parkland agrees at least $250,000 worth of these improvements will
be to property that is accessible to the general public. This may include, but is not limited to,
improvements to the Boardwalk; construction of the new means of “public access” described in
paragraph 2 below, a gas dock, and/or construction of a community shopper’s dock.
2. At the time Parkland commences construction of its improvements to the Property,
Parkland shall provide a five foot wide pedestrian “public access” for ingress and egress to the
Boardwalk. Parkland shall also provide a five foot wide pedestrian “public access” for ingress and
egress to the proposed fishing pier location. The paths of these new public accesses shall be the
paths delineated in purple on the plan attached as Exhibit A. These public accesses will be limited
to the same permitted activities as the Dedication dated February 27, 1991, and recorded March
12, 1991 in Liber 1557, Pages 416-425, Muskegon County Records (the “Dedication”), except
Parkland shall also expand the permitted uses to permit the pushing and pulling of strollers and
wagons on both public accesses, the riding of bicycles on the public access along the southern
border of the Property, and fishing in designated areas. Parkland shall be granted the same rights
that SPX reserved in the Dedication relative to dedicated areas, as well as the right to briefly limit
public access to the kidney shaped concrete patio at the far end of the peninsula during summer
wedding ceremonies and events for the adjacent hotel and restaurant. Parkland with the City may
impose safety limitations on the public access that minimize the likelihood of injury or death, if
they do not unreasonably impair public access. Parkland may also impose other rules approved by
the City Manager. The City Manager shall notify the City Commission of any new rules relating
to the public access. No building permit will be issued for the Project until a new public access
instrument is approved by the City and executed and recorded.
3. Parkland immediately grants the public the right and a license to use the same areas
of the Property which were formerly authorized to be used under the Dedication in the same
manner previously allowed by the terminated Dedication, until Parkland commences construction
of its improvements to the Property. These licensed areas are depicted on Exhibit B. Parkland also
agrees to allow the pushing and pulling of strollers and wagons as permitted uses under the license.
First Amendment to Development Agreement Page 2
Once Parkland commences construction, the public access shall be moved to the areas described
in paragraph 2 above.
4. Parkland may close the public access for up to 30 consecutive days to provide for
the construction of its improvements to the Property, and the maintenance, repair, and/or
replacement of the improvements situated within the public access. With the permission of the
City Manager, this period may be extended by a reasonable time to complete work which is being
diligently pursued.
D. EXTENSION. Paragraph 2 of the Agreement is amended to replace the reference to “2
years” with “2 years from a final decision or dismissal of Muskegon Circuit Court Case No. 22-
3962-CZ, including any related appellate proceedings”.
E. VACATION OF ALLEGED PUBLIC STREET The Agreement is amended to provide
that the City of Muskegon shall cause all areas of the Property which are alleged to be public
streets in Muskegon Circuit Court Case No. 22-3962-CZ, to be vacated within ninety (90) days
from the date of this amendment in accordance with City Ordinances and applicable law.
F. COUNTERPARTS, BINDING EFFECT, AND DELIVERY This First Amendment
may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all
of which combined shall constitute one and the same instrument. This First Amendment shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
A facsimile or electronic transmission of this First Amendment, as executed, shall constitute
delivery and shall be valid and enforceable against the party providing the facsimile or electronic
signature.
G. RATIFICATION. Except as specifically amended hereby, all other conditions and
covenants of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and
confirmed.

Re: Proposed Renovation and Addition at Trinity Health Arena
Why: The Muskegon Lumberjacks are interested in being Muskegon’s home hockey team for decades to come.
The team is committed to a partnership with Trinity Health Arena that allows them to flourish and create
opportunities for the City to generate additional revenue within the Arena.
What: The Muskegon Lumberjacks are interested in renovating and possibly building a small addition on the
north side of Trinity Health Arena. The current locker rooms, athletic medicine and equipment spaces are too
small, disjointed, outdated and do not meet the current standards of the League. Existing facilities also do not
comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (2010 Standard). The team offices are located on the sub-
concourse and are not along an accessible route. This presents operational and security issues for both the
team and arena management.
The current locker room footprint is constrained by low ceilings and structural walls what will make a cohesive
renovation in the existing location difficult and cost prohibitive. Existing mechanical systems are outdated and
currently push air from the locker room into the rest of the sub-concourse instead of ventilating it out of the
building leading to smelly air inundating adjacent spaces. Additionally, there is a concern that contaminated
building materials could be uncovered during an extensive renovation of existing spaces.
The team currently shares toilets, sinks and a large gang shower (pictured in the attached document) with a
high school hockey team – for several reasons, this is a major concern. Neither team locker room is truly secure
from the other at this point, and operationally, two teams of varying age groups sharing toilet and shower
facilities is a considerable issue. Additionally, the Lumberjacks Athletic medicine and equipment spaces are
scattered into multiple, small rooms which is not ideal from an athlete health and wellness standpoint or from a
team management perspective.
Renovating team spaces on the north side of the building will not only help the Lumberjacks streamline their
operations and attract top talent, it will also free up spaces that could be reallocated back to the Arena and
generate additional revenue for the building and the City. As proposed, the renovation would allow the arena
management team to be located in an office suite together and provide additional meeting and locker room
space not currently available in the building.
A retail store is proposed to be located in the old box office location and would allow the concourse level to
be opened up for spectator circulation. This would include removing the existing bank of access control doors
that became obsolete when the box office was relocated to the Convention Center.
The project has the ability to address vertical circulation issues within the building and would address
outstanding barrier free issues that exist between the concourse, sub-concourse and ice level of the arena as
well. The elevator could be renovated in a way that it becomes useful for the team and the arena both.
Moving the Lumberjack office and team spaces to the north side of the building would allow for a new and
secure entrance into the team’s facilities. This would not only provide a public face for the team but would also
alleviate access control issues to the remainder of the building during off hours. At the same time, a facelift on
the north façade of the building would enhance what is currently very much a back-of-house aesthetic and
bring the arena more in line with the contemporary architecture of the Convention Center.

April 13, 2023
Connecting the main arena concourse to the team spaces provides a unique opportunity to enhance the
spectator experience, elevate the visibility of the team and will create opportunities for additional shared
amenities between the team and arena operator. The ability to create daylit office spaces and provide views
to Muskegon Lake are an added bonus that not only benefit the team but will also add to the value of the
building.
A small investment into the existing facility will position the team to attract top tier athletes, coaches and staff
for decades to come. In turn, this likely will lead to delivering an exciting spectator experience and will
continue to draw spectators to downtown Muskegon for games and events. A renovated space creates new
and exciting programming opportunities for the arena, and overall a refreshed building ends up being a more
valuable physical and community asset for Muskegon.
Purpose: Seek approval to develop conceptual design(s), establish a project budget and complete a feasibility
study to construct new locker rooms, team amenities and front offices for the Lumberjacks. This includes
renovating existing spaces and constructing a new second story addition on the north side of Trinity Health
Arena along Shoreline Drive.
Value Add Opportunities:
Locker Rooms:
- The present locker rooms at the Arena are aging and lack amenities that attract and keep players.
- The toilets, lavatories and gang shower room are shared with the Reeth’s Puffer High School Hockey
Team which is a security concern as well as an athlete wellbeing issue.
- The current locker room does not meet the minimum requirements prescribed by the American’s with
Disabilities Act (2010).
- Renovating the locker rooms to meet or exceed the league standards is desirable to keep talent as well
as attract additional talent.
- Desired features that would be included/considered are: Oval Shape, ceiling logos, state of the art
media centers, better flow that accounts for the needs of players, new medical, dry rooms, changing
rooms, lockers, recovery solutions, etc.
- Planning that incorporates the right number of lockers and space for the current and future team
members.
- Closer locker rooms to the ice for increased speed and player experience.
Offices:
- A second story addition would create a desirable office location with lakefront views.
- The office addition would provide a dedicated exterior door to the Lumberjacks office and locker
rooms.
o This would also create a desirable entry exit scenario that could be isolated from the rest of the
arena, allowing for private events and meetings scheduled during off hours.
o The Concourse level offices would not impact the arena concourse circulation during events but
it would allow direct access to the offices.
- The second story would expand the footprint, leaving the existing locker room spaces for the other
leagues to continue using. Additional renovation to the existing home team locker rooms would be
optional.
- Adding an addition would provide long lasting desirable space to the Arena, increasing the potential
Page | 2
April 13, 2023
property value.
Concourse:
- There is an opportunity to renovate the old box office into new areas that would be desirable
concession or office space. We would expand the interior space to allow for deeper rooms, as well as
to create more visibility.
- The doors that separate the former box office from the concourse could be removed to allow more
direct access to the elevator, back stairs, and to the new concession/office area. This would allow for
better flow of traffic.
Accessibility/Elevator:
- Updating the spaces would allow the opportunity to upgrade and improve the accessibility features of
the facility in this North corner of the facility.
- The elevator, while presently operational, would undergo a refresh. Additionally, we would explore
adding a door to the elevator cab to allow access from Shoreline. Adding a door would enhance both
the accessibility and VIP entrances, eliminating a long approach through the basement and instead
have an immediate vestibule entry.
The following documents illustrate the existing spaces as they are currently being used, scope of proposed
renovations and building addition, and photographs that document the existing conditions.
Please note that this is a high-level assessment and does not include any formal testing or engineering.

Agenda Item Review Form
Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: April 25, 2023 Title: Ottawa Bridge SHPO Meeting
Submitted By: Dan VanderHeide Department: DPW
Brief Summary:
The consultant working on the Ottawa Bridge removal project has asked that we share the findings
by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) with the public and seek feedback.
Detailed Summary & Background: The Ottawa Street bridge is part of an MDOT project that has
bundled several locally-owned bridges that need to be removed. MDOT is leading the project and
funding it, the City’s role is limited to providing information and guidance and approval of the final
project details.
MDOT’s consultant (AECOM) submitted for routine SHPO clearance, but was notified that the
bridge is eligible for listing on the national register of historic places. As a result, SHPO
determined that removal of the bridge would have an “adverse effect” on the bridge from a historic
preservation perspective. Due to this finding, the City needs to receive feedback from the public.
It’s important to remember that despite being eligible for listing on the historic register, that does
not make an item intrinsically historic. The Ottawa bridge is not unique, nor has it attracted historic
interest by the community. The bridge no longer serves a purpose – the park it leads to is
accessible by a driveway from the other side of the river.
Furthermore, the bridge is in extremely poor condition and has been closed for years. The bridge
is being removed because it is beyond repair. Were the bridge to be listed and the City make
efforts to save it the cost would be very significant, staff believes it would be unlikely to receive
grant funding, and the bridge would, at best, serve as one of two entrances to a small park.

RE: ER22-559 Removal of Ottawa Street Bridge 7700 (#614461800205B01) over the Muskegon River
Branch, 0.15 Miles North of Bayou Avenue, Sec. 17, T10N, R16W, City of Muskegon,
Muskegon County (FHWA)
Dear Ms. Reinke:
Under the authority of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, we have reviewed the
proposed undertaking at the above-noted location. The State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) does not concur with
the determination that no historic properties will be affected within the area of potential effects of this undertaking.
Based on the information provided for our review, it is the opinion of the SHPO that the proposed undertaking will have
an adverse effect on the Ottawa Street Bridge over Muskegon River, which appears to meet the criteria for listing in the
National Register of Historic Places under Criteria C in the area of transportation at the local level of significance.
MDOT’s inventory of historic bridges attributes a construction date of 1900, and indicates that it is the oldest known
surviving example of a concrete girder bridge in Michigan. In truth, it appears that it is a concrete-encased, multi-beam
steel stringer bridge built between 1926 and 1932 on plans widely used by the Michigan State Highway Department. As
such, it is a good example this bridge type with a high level of historic integrity.
This undertaking meets the criteria of adverse effect because: the undertaking may alter, directly or indirectly, any of the
characteristics of a historic property that qualify the property for inclusion in the National Register in a manner that
would diminish the integrity of the property’s location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, or association,
36 CFR § 800.5(a)(1). Specifically, the undertaking will result in physical destruction of or damage to all or part of the
property.
Federal agencies are required to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects. Please note that if the federal agency and
the SHPO concur that the adverse effect cannot be avoided, the Section 106 process will not conclude until the
consultation process is complete, an MOA is developed, executed, and implemented, and, if applicable, the formal
comments of the Advisory Council have been received, 36 CFR § 800.6. For more information on your responsibilities and
obligations for projects that will have an adverse effect on historic properties under 36 CFR § 800.6, please review the
enclosed materials.
We remind you that federal agency officials or their delegated authorities are required to involve the public in a manner
that reflects the nature and complexity of the undertaking and its effects on historic properties per 36 CFR § 800.2(d).
The National Historic Preservation Act also requires that federal agencies consult with any Indian tribe and/or Tribal
Historic Preservation Officer (THPO) that attach religious and cultural significance to historic properties that may be
affected by the agency’s undertakings per 36 CFR § 800.2(c)(2)(ii).
The opinion of the SHPO is based on the materials provided for our review. If you believe that there is material that we
should consider that might affect our finding, or if you have questions, please contact Brian Grennell, Cultural Resource
Management Coordinator, at (517) 335-2721 or by email at [email protected]. Please reference our project
number in all communication with this office regarding this undertaking.

Dear City of Muskegon,
SUBJECT: Section 106 Public Consultation
Structure 7700 – Ottawa Street over the South Branch of the Muskegon River, Muskegon County,
Michigan
For the MDOT Bridge Bundling Program, it was found that there was an “Adverse Effect” from SHPO for the bridge
removal of structure 7700 – Ottawa Street over the South Branch of the Muskegon River. In accordance with 36 CFR
800.6(a)(4), the city shall make the information regarding this finding available to the public, providing the public with an
opportunity to express their views on resolving adverse effects of the undertaking. We are recommending that the
project be added to the agenda for the next commission meeting in an effort to seek public comment. Please send us
the meeting minutes and provide any comments that you receive. Thanks for your support on this project.
If you need additional information about this bridge, please contact us at [email protected].
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Stein

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: April 25, 2023 Title: FY24 CWSRF Project Plan Updates
Submitted By: Dan VanderHeide Department: DPW
Brief Summary: The City’s CWSRF Project Plan on file with the state for future revolving fund projects
has been updated, and the City needs to receive comment and adopt the plan by resolution.
Detailed Summary & Background: The City has taken advantage of favorable rates and even
some principal forgiveness as a part of the state’s Revolving Loan Fund programs to complete
substantial utility improvement projects, such as the Sanford Street project currently underway. In
order to be eligible for these programs, projects must be included in the City’s “Project Plan” that is
on file with the state department of EGLE. The specific projects proposed for the program are not
known at this time; this Project Plan is simply a list of projects the City may propose for the
program in the future. The list is used by the state to perform preliminary environmental and other
clearance work so they are prepared for the projects if and when the City proposes them.
Prein & Newhof has updated our Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Project Plan (the
plan dedicated to sanitary sewer projects) to show potential projects over the next several years.
Part of the updating process includes holding a meeting where the public can comment on the plan
(satisfied by today’s meeting and the public comment periods within it), and a resolution by the
Commission adopting the plan. The resolution is attached.
The Project Plan is included without appendices due to size. For the full version (385 pages, 55MB),

1 Project Background
This Project Plan is prepared on behalf of the City of Muskegon, Muskegon County, Michigan, for
the purpose of obtaining a Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) loan from the State of
Michigan for the construction of improvements to the City of Muskegon’s wastewater system. The
applicant is the City of Muskegon (hereinafter the “City”) and all the proposed work is in the City.
The City of Muskegon is the largest city in Muskegon County, which is located at the western edge
of Michigan. The City occupies approximately 18.1 square miles, with 14.2 comprised of land area
and 3.9 square miles consisting of water. It is located at the western edge of the county with Lake
Michigan forming its western boundary. Muskegon Lake and the Muskegon River form its northern
boundary.
The City has a population of approximately 38,500 with approximately 11,300 residential and 1,700
commercial/industrial customers of its wastewater system. It has almost 900,000 feet of gravity
sewer, 26,000 feet of forcemain, 4,000 manholes and 24 pumping stations. The City of Muskegon
does not have its own treatment plant. Its wastewater is treated by the regional Muskegon County
Wastewater Management System (MCWMS).
In 2017, the City of Muskegon completed an Asset Management Plan (AMP) for its wastewater
collection system to evaluate the condition and needs of its wastewater collection system, develop a
system for prioritizing repairs and rehabilitation of the system, and to make recommendations for
funding the needs identified. Over half of the system is approaching 100 years old and is in need of
repair or replacement or will need it in the next few decades.
The CWSRF program was identified as one method of funding the Capital Improvements identified
in the Asset Management Plan. The improvements discussed herein are primarily a result of the
AMP process. All improvements will help make infrastructure more efficient and reduce the chance
of impacting water quality in the area by failing wastewater assets. All projects are specifically to
replace existing aging infrastructure that has high maintenance and operation cost and potential for
failure. None of the projects or projected 20-year needs include projects to extend infrastructure to
new areas in or outside of the city.
The purpose of this report is to present a comprehensive plan and evaluation of alternatives for
improving the existing wastewater collection system. The evaluation includes an analysis of cost,
technical feasibility, and environmental impacts for projects that are needed over the next 20 years.

DRAFT
Funding will be pursued through Michigan’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). CWSRF
is a low interest loan financing program that assists qualified local municipalities with the
construction of needed water pollution control facilities.
Study Area Characteristics
Delineation of Study Area
The study area comprises the area within the Muskegon city limits, which is about 18 square
miles (about 14 square miles is land area and the rest is water). The city’s wastewater
collection system covers almost the entire city plus some very small portions of Muskegon
Township, City of Muskegon Heights, Fruitport Township, and the City of Norton Shores
served by the City of Muskegon where their own systems cannot easily serve customers.
Figure 1 shows the study area, service area boundary, and the existing wastewater collection
system.
The City is mostly built out but there are three areas within the city limits and the current
wastewater service area that are anticipated to further develop over the next 20 years. These
are highlighted in Figure 1. It is expected that the City’s existing collection system will have
sufficient downstream capacity to handle additional wastewater flow from future
development in these areas. None of the projects in this Project Plan are proposed for
increased capacity in these areas.
The former Sappi Paper Plant, located along the southern shoreline of Muskegon Lake, has
been demolished and is planned for redevelopment. The area was occupied by a paper mill
from 1900 until it ceased operations in 2009. Prior to 2009, the paper mill was a large
industrial customer of the Muskegon County regional wastewater system, the Muskegon
County Resource and Recovery Center (MCRRC), and was within the City of Muskegon. Its
closing reduced wastewater flows significantly. Since the plant has been closed and
demolished, the City worked with local developers to redevelop the lakefront property. The
site has plans to be redeveloped into Windward Pointe which includes housing, commercial
and recreational features. Given that the City’s wastewater system had the capacity to serve
the paper mill, a large water and wastewater customer, for many decades, it is likely that the
downstream collection system will have the capacity to handle the additional wastewater
volumes incurred from any additional development in this area.

The second area shown on Figure 1 is on Remembrance Road in the Industrial Park area.
This property has been highlighted by the City as having a potential for development within
the 20-year design period. Currently the property is not served by the City’s sewer collection
system. It is anticipated that if development were to occur in the area, the City would extend
approximately 1,500 feet of sewer along Industrial Boulevard in order to serve the
development. It is also anticipated that the collection system downstream of the
Remembrance Road property will have sufficient capacity to handle any additional
wastewater volumes. No projects in this project plan are associated with that.
The third service area highlighted in Figure 1 is Pigeon Hill. Pigeon Hill used to be a large
sand dune towering over 200 feet high in the early 1900’s. Between the 1920’s and 1950’s,
sand was mined in the area and sold to local foundries that helped make the Muskegon Area
prosperous. Since then, the dune was essentially leveled and undeveloped until Harbor
Towne, a residential condominium development, was built in 1992. The area highlighted as
a future service area is the area of Pigeon Hill that has remained undeveloped. Development
plans are in place for a new neighborhood call The Docks. The Docks will include new on
water and near-water homes for year-round and seasonal living It is anticipated that the
collection system downstream of The Docks will have sufficient capacity to handle any
additional wastewater volumes. No projects in this project plan are associated with
development there.
Environmental Setting
Cultural Resources
According to Muskegon County’s website, the Muskegon area was once home to various
bands of Ottawa and Pottawatomi tribes in the early 1700’s. The area has a rich Native
American history with various cultural resources.
Furthermore, since settlement began in earnest in the early 1800’s, the area has become a
highly developed urban City. The City has various historical buildings and landmarks
throughout the area. The study area does not have any national natural landmarks
according to EGLE and the National Park Service. However, there are various historical
places in Muskegon that are found on the National Register of Historic Places that are
deemed worthy of preservation by the U.S. Department of the Interior. These historic
3

places include the Central Fire Station, Amazon Hosier Mill, Muskegon South
Breakwater Light, Muskegon South Pierhead Light, Muskegon YMCA Building, U.S.S.
Silversides, and Union Depot. Additionally, many of the homes within the City of
Muskegon were built as far back as the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Some of these
homes are located within the City’s various historic districts near the downtown area.
The Charles H. Hackley, Horatio N. Hovey, and Thomas Hume Houses are also included
on the National Register. Dating back to 1889, the extravagant historical houses have
been preserved and represent the former homes of some of the most prominent lumber
barons from Muskegon’s lumbering era.
The distinguished history of the Muskegon area deserves to be protected and preserved.
Historic and archeological sites will not be adversely impacted by the proposed projects
as the projects are largely within road right-of-ways and alleys. Further detail on the
cultural resources in relation to the proposed projects is located in the Environmental
Evaluation in Section 2.5.2.
Natural Environment
As noted above, the City occupies approximately 18.1 square miles, with 14.2 comprised
of land area and 3.9 square miles consisting of water. It is located at the western edge of
Muskegon County with Lake Michigan, one of the five Great Lakes, forming its western
boundary. Muskegon Lake and the Muskegon River form its northern boundary.
The Muskegon River is one of the major rivers in Michigan and empties into Muskegon
Lake, which in tum empties into Lake Michigan. Sand dunes are present along the
western border of the City at Lake Michigan. These features all form important
topographical and geographical features in Muskegon. The lake levels are about 585 feet
above sea level, while much of Muskegon is 30 to 40 feet higher. Some of the sand dunes
rise more than 50 feet above the Lake Michigan water level. The City of Muskegon has
been built around these beautiful shorelines and natural features.
In addition to the Muskegon River, there are also several smaller streams including
Ruddiman Creek, Ryerson Creek and Four Mile Creek, which empty into Muskegon
Lake, which is the drowned river mouth of the Muskegon River. Much of the current
shoreline of Muskegon Lake has been filled over the years with remains of the logging

DRAFT
industry, foundry sand, and other industrial materials. There has been a focus on cleaning
up contaminated sediments in the Lake and Ruddiman Creek over the last decade.
While much of Muskegon has sandy soils, there are marshy areas near the Muskegon
River and Muskegon Lake, and the smaller creeks mentioned above. In fact, Muskegon
gets its name from the Ottawa Indian term “Masquigon,” meaning “marshy river” or
“swamp.” There are areas of industrial fill, especially along the Muskegon Lake
shoreline, and some areas, such as the "Clay Hill" area, where clay soils have caused
homeowners to build foundation drains and basement sumps, which are connected to
sanitary sewers in some cases.
The City of Muskegon possesses various natural environment features that are valuable
within the study area. Disruptions to the environment are expected to be minimal for the
proposed projects. The projects are within highly urbanized areas and within developed
roadways. Adverse impacts to the natural environment will be avoided when possible,
and mitigated if necessary. Further detail on the natural environment in relation to the
proposed projects is located in the Environmental Evaluation in Section 2.5.2.
Land Use
The City’s existing land use is diverse with significant residential areas and some
commercial, industrial and public recreation areas as shown on the Existing Land Use Map
(Appendix A). The city is mostly built out although there are some areas for future residential
and industrial land uses. Future land use is similar to existing land use in most cases, with
some additional public areas, open spaces, woodlands, and significant redevelopment in the
downtown area as shown in the Zoning Map (Appendix B) and Future Land Use Map
(Appendix C). There are no major projected changes in the land use of the study area that
would significantly impact wastewater flows beyond the average daily and maximum daily
wastewater flow projections provided in Tables 1 and 2.
Population Data
The population of the City of Muskegon was estimated to be 38,318 in 2020 according to the
United States Census Bureau. The population has declined since 2000 when it was slightly
more than 40,000. This trend has been seen in many areas of Michigan The existing and
estimated population projections for the City of Muskegon have been developed by the

DRAFT
MCRRC for all of the communities it serves in Muskegon County. These numbers are based
on U.S. Census data and data developed by the West Michigan Shoreline Regional
Development Commission (WMSRDC) and are presented in Table 1.
From 2000 to 2010, the U.S. Census indicates that the City of Muskegon population declined
by 4.2%. WMSRDC is projecting a modest 0.9% population increase over the 25 year period
from 2020 to 2045. The City of Muskegon does have some seasonal population growth
during the summer season in areas nearby Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan shorelines.
However, the seasonal patterns do not have a significant impact on the wastewater flow rates
in the City of Muskegon service area.
Economic Characteristics
The City of Muskegon is the industrial and commercial center of Muskegon County.
Muskegon has been built around its large industries ever since it flourished during the lumber
era in the late 1800’s. During this era, Muskegon boasted more millionaires than any other
town in America. Throughout the 1900’s the City has remained a major industrial port
within the Great Lakes area. The recession beginning in late 2008 had a significant impact
on the economy in the area. However, the City had continued an upward trend in economic
conditions since the recession in 2009, culminating in a 18-year low unemployment rate
according to the United States Department of Labor in 2019. However, the pandemic in
2020 caused unemployment within the City to spike up to 29% in April 2020. The
unemployment rate leveled off to below 5% by the end of 2022 according to the United
States Bureau of Labor and Statistics Prior to the 2020 recession, the Muskegon area was in
the process of revitalizing neighborhoods, improving public schools, and restoring the
landscape of the lakeshore to more natural settings. These initiatives are continuing today.
Major employers in the area include education (Muskegon Public Schools, Muskegon
Community College, and others), retail trade (Meijer, Walmart, Wesco, Betten-Automotive
Group, etc.), healthcare services (Mercy Health, Muskegon Family Care, etc.), industry
(ADAC Automotive, L-3 Combat Propulsion Systems, Cole’s Bakery, etc.), and government
(Muskegon County and City of Muskegon).

DRAFT
The median household income in City of Muskegon $37,827 according to data provided on
the EGLE CWSRF website, which is taken from the United States Census Bureau. The
Taxable Value or property per capita is listed as $16,910.
Growing economic conditions may bring additional commercial and industrial water users to
the study area. The City’s wastewater system overall has available capacity in many areas.
System capacity will need to be evaluated and addressed based on the expected water
requirements of new businesses as they develop within the study area.
Existing Facilities
Wastewater Treatment
The City of Muskegon does not own or operate any wastewater treatment facilities. All
wastewater from the City of Muskegon is pumped to MCWMS Metro Plant located in
Muskegon County, Michigan. MCWMS serves the Metro area and the Whitehall-Montague
area, including thirteen municipal users and two separate industrial users. The municipal
users include the City of Muskegon, Norton Shores, Muskegon Heights, Roosevelt Park,
North Muskegon, Muskegon Township, Laketon Township, Egelston Township, Fruitport
Township, City of Montague, Montague Township, City of Whitehall and Whitehall
Township. Industrial users include Sun Chemical/Camus Water Technologies and Bayer
Crop Science. Wastewater is pumped through an eleven mile forcemain from the downtown
Muskegon area east to the treatment site.
Wastewater flow to the MCRRC averaged approximately 11 million gallons per day in 2022.
The City of Muskegon represented approximately 37% of the daily flow in 2022, averaging
3.94 million gallons per day. Table 2 shows the historical and average daily flow projections
through 2045. Previous records indicated that approximately 44% of the average wastewater
flow from the City is attributed to residential customers, while commercial and industrial
customers produce 24% and 17% of the flow, respectively.
MCWMS has an expansive system of wastewater lagoons and irrigation fields to treat
wastewater from all over Muskegon County. The treatment system has ample treatment
capacity, as the rated capacity is 42 million gallons per day. An overview process map is
included in Appendix D.

DRAFT
Residuals
The City of Muskegon does not own or operate any wastewater treatment facility; therefore it
does not generate any residuals or have a Residuals Management Program.
Sewers and Force mains
The City of Muskegon wastewater system includes gravity sewers and force mains serving
the majority of lands within the City corporate limits, as well as small adjacent areas beyond
the City corporate limits as shown on Figure 1.
Dating back to the early 1900’s, the City of Muskegon historically had sewers throughout its
system designed to convey both wastewater and stormwater flows. Over many decades, the
City has separated the wastewater and stormwater collection systems. All known combined
sewers have been separated and all known sanitary/storm connections have been
disconnected.
The top three major industrial water users are Lorin Industries, Port City Group, and ADAC
Automotive. Lorin Industries is an aluminum supplier, Port City Group is a manufacturer of
aluminum die castings, mechanical assemblies and injected molded plastics, and ADAC
Automotive is a manufacturer of automotive parts. The locations of the major industrial
discharges are highlighted in Figure 1.
The City of Muskegon was awarded a three year long Stormwater, Asset Management and
Wastewater (SAW) Grant in 2013. During the three-year SAW Grant period, Prein&Newhof
inventoried and assessed the condition of manholes, sewers, forcemains, and pump stations
within the City’s wastewater collection system. Since the SAW grant period the City has
continued to keep the wastewater collection system inventory updated as recent construction
projects have been completed. However, the majority of the condition assessment
information has not been comprehensively updated since the large condition assessment
effort undertaken during the SAW Grant period. A summary of the inventory and condition
assessments is briefly reviewed below.
Inventory
An inventory of manholes, gravity sewer pipes, and force mains was prepared for the
asset management plan. The inventory contains information on the size, material, and
8
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
installation year of manholes, sewer pipes, and forcemains. The inventory also includes
rim and invert elevations for manholes as well as length and slope for gravity sewer
pipes.
Mapping System
The inventory was compiled using a Geographic Information System (GIS). The GIS
serves as a repository of data from which the information about each asset can be
displayed on maps. The maps enable data driven decision making.
The inventory was compiled from available documentation including prior system
maps and record plans. Original documentation was scanned to create electronic
images, which were hyperlinked to the GIS for convenient access.
Field Verification
The system inventory was verified by locating manholes, opening the lids, visually
confirming the number and orientation of connecting pipes, surveying the rim and
invert elevations where needed, and storing Global Position System (GPS)
coordinates. The GPS coordinates result in increased accuracy to make the GIS a
more useful tool for many future purposes, including capital improvement planning
and routine maintenance operations.
Summary of Sewer and Forcemain Inventory
The City of Muskegon wastewater system includes approximately 890,000 lineal feet
of gravity sewer pipes ranging from 6 to 42 inches in diameter, 21,500 lineal feet of
forcemain pipes ranging from 1.5 to 12 inches in diameter, and 3,778 manholes.
Figure 2 shows a summary of the gravity main age and material inventory. Figure 3
provide further details of the ages and materials of forcemain sewer pipe. The gravity
sewer pipe materials are primarily vitrified clay pipe installed between the late 1910’s
and early 1940’s and PVC pipe installed since the 1990’s. Approximately 75% of the
sewers are over 50 years old and over 80% of the sewers are vitrified clay pipe. The
manholes are a mix of brick and precast concrete structures. The force main materials
are primarily ductile iron, with some cast iron and PVC materials. The inventory
data presented in this report is based off the existing sanitary sewer system in 2015

during the SAW grant period. The City has completed various sanitary sewer system
improvement projects since 2015, however, the overall inventory data given has not
changed significantly.
Condition Assessment
An assessment of the physical condition of manholes and gravity sewer pipes was made
to evaluate the risk of failure. Descriptions of the assessment methods are provided
below.
Manholes
Visual Inspection
The primary method to assess the majority of manholes was visual inspection from
above ground. Condition assessments were made on the structure, the steps, the
casting, and observable infiltration. Approximately 76 percent of manholes were
inspected and assessed with this method; occasional manholes were omitted due to
access limitations.
3D Optical Manhole Scanner with MACP Assessment
An alternative method to assess some select manholes was using a 3D optical
manhole scanner. The scanner was lowered into the manhole and pictures were taken
of all sides of the manhole, including the bottom. The images can be viewed through
a 3D panoramic viewer.
The National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) defines a set of
standards for documenting sewer pipe conditions with its Manhole Assessment and
Certification Program (MACP). MACP provides a standard method for documenting
the location, type, and severity of manhole defects.
Force main discharge manholes have a higher risk of hydrogen sulfide damage. All
force main discharge manholes and select manholes along the Beidler Sewer were
further inspected and assessed with this method.
Summary of Manhole Conditions

s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
Manholes were found in moderate to good condition overall, with occasional minor
deficiencies that can be addressed as part of system operations and maintenance
efforts. Further details including locations of these individual manholes are available
in the City’s GIS.
Gravity Sewer Pipes
Zoom Camera Inspections
Inspections were made from inside manholes using a pole mounted video camera
equipped with a spot light and an optical zoom lens. An assessment of the condition
of any observed offset joints, roots, debris, infiltration, corrosion, or other structural
defects was made. Condition ratings of 1-5 were assigned to gravity sewer pipes,
where 5 represents the most severe defect and 1 represents no noted defect.
Zoom camera inspections have limitations for longer distances between manholes but
provide a clear view of the ends of the pipe near the manhole. The observable
distance varies typically between 50 and 150 feet and is affected by factors such as
pipe alignment, roots, debris, and steam.
In order for sewer pipes to qualify for CWSRF funding, sewer pipes must be
reviewed with a level two inspection in accordance with NASSCO’s (National
Association of Sewer Service Companies) Pipe Assessment Certification Program
(PACP). Zoom camera inspection is considered a less detailed, level one inspection.
However, the zoom camera method provides an efficient way to assess which pipes
have the most severe problems and was used as a low cost screening tool to identify
pipes that required additional, more detailed inspections.
Closed Circuit Televising with PACP Assessment
Closed Circuit Televising (CCTV) inspections were completed using remotely
operated video cameras that travel through the sewer. The CCTV inspection provides
up close visual detail through the entire length of pipe from manhole to manhole.
NASSCO defines a set of standards for documenting sewer pipe conditions with
PACP. PACP provides a standard method for documenting the location, type, and
severity of sewer defects. The type of each defect is categorized as either a structural
11
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
defect or an operations and maintenance defect. Structural defects include cracks,
holes, sags, and corrosion. Operations and maintenance observations include roots,
deposits, infiltration, and grease. Each defect is assigned a condition rating of 1-5,
with 5 being the most severe defect.
The PACP standard was followed for sewer pipe condition assessments from CCTV
inspections. All sewer pipes proposed for rehabilitation or replacement for structural
reasons were inspected in this manner. Further details of the MACP and PACP
inspection methods are provided in Section 1.2.5.
Summary of Gravity Sewer Pipe Conditions
All of the gravity sewer pipes were first inspected with the zoom camera method.
Approximately 8% were subsequently inspected with the CCTV method based on the
zoom camera results. Due to various manhole or pipe access issues, approximately
12% of the pipes were unable to be condition assessed with the zoom camera method.
The conditions of these pipes were estimated based on age, material, and surrounding
pipe conditions.
Structural defects including cracked pipes, broken pipes, pipes with holes, sags, and
corrosion were observed in a variety of locations. The most significant cases are
described further in Section 1.3.4. The City is monitoring the remaining known
structural defects thought the system with follow-up inspections and fixing defects
with spot repairs, where necessary.
Infiltration was observed in several locations through CCTV inspection. The impact
of infiltration is discussed in a separate Sewer Flow Study report by Prein&Newhof
dated April 2017 (Appendix E).
The Oak Grove Neighborhood has been suspected to have Inflow and Infiltration
(I&I) concerns in the past. Based on a previous Mass Flow Monitoring Study, a
high-priority area was recommended for further CCTV inspection. CCTV
inspections were performed in the high-priority area. The area consisted of the
majority of pipes between the Forest Lift Station and Evanston Lift Station, and a
portion of the pipes upstream of the Forest Lift Station. Little to no infiltration was
12
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
discovered in the smaller diameter upstream collectors. However, a significant
amount of infiltration was found in two separate deeper trunk sewers on Oak Grove
Street and Evanston Avenue. The City has removed the majority of the I&I from
these sewers using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining methods in a 2018 project.
Roots and debris typical for sewer systems were observed in many locations. Some
sewers with roots and the most severe debris were cleaned and inspected with the
CCTV method. While clay sewers are resistant to corrosion, they are highly
susceptible to root infiltration. The City maintains an extensive cleaning and root
cutting program in order to manage root growth and avoid backups.
Force mains
Inspections to assess the condition of force mains were not conducted because current
inspection technology is generally regarded to be not cost effective for most force
mains. Instead, force mains were assessed based on age, material, surrounding soil
conditions, and break history.
The 1920’s era Austin Lift Station force main and the downstream portion of the
Getty Lift Station force main were found to have the highest risk of failure in their
current condition. The oldest downstream portion of the Getty Lift Station force
main was replaced in 2020. The remaining force mains within the system were
installed after 1970 and are estimated to be in fair to good structural condition.
Pump Stations
Eight grinder pump stations serve areas within the collection system that cannot be served by
gravity. Sixteen lift stations are utilized throughout the system with one main County owned
lift station (Pump Station C) pumping all wastewater to the county-owned treatment plant.
The pump stations and capacities are shown in Table 3.
On behalf of the City, Prein&Newhof recently assessed the condition each pump station
within the collection system in 2015 through the City’s SAW Grant. The conclusion made
during the SAW Grant is that the City-owned pump stations are in fair to good condition,
overall. The pump stations with the highest risk of failure were the Edgewater and Harbor
Towne Lift Stations mainly due the structural deterioration of the discharge piping. The
13
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
Edgewater and Harbor Towne Lift Stations are scheduled to be retrofitted by replacing the
pumps and discharge piping in 2024 using FY23 CWSRF funding. The controls and alarms
on all of the pump stations are working properly. The City performs weekly inspections of
all pump stations. Besides the concerns with the Edgewater and Harbor Towne Lift Stations,
the remaining City owned pump stations adequately maintain system integrity.
NASSCO PACP/MACP
EGLE’s CWSRF Project Plan Preparation Guidance eligibility criteria for sewers replaced
due to structural deficiencies states only those structural deficiencies placing the sewer pipe
and/or manhole in imminent danger of failure. Sewer pipes and/or manholes must be
reviewed in accordance with NASSCO’s (National Association of Sewer Service Companies)
Pipe Assessment Certification Program (PACP) and Manhole Assessment Certification
Program (MACP). The PACP and MACP must be used to grade and define the severity of
the pipe and manhole defects. The defects found in the pipe segments and manholes must
have a grade of either Significant (Score 4) or Most Significant (Grade 5) to be considered
eligible for funding under EGLE’s State Revolving Loan Fund. Additionally, the assessment
of the defects should also consider other factors such as pipe age, sewer depth, type of pipe,
diameter of pipe, type of soils, and location (i.e. under buildings, railways, rivers, heavy
traffic, or in environmentally sensitive locations) all of which could impact the priority of the
classification.
NASSCO’s PACP and MACP were established to provide the industry with the ability to
accurately to assess sanitary sewer environments against a national standard using common
tools.
During the PACP segment of the evaluation, sewers are televised using closed circuit
television (CCTV) equipment. As the sewer segments are televised or during post televising
review, the NASSCO PACP-certified user identifies defects in the sewer pipe segments that
could cause potential pipe failures. It is possible that multiple defects occur at the same
location. Examples of multiple defects at the same location could be active infiltration or
evidence of past infiltration at or near a defect such as a broken pipe. These are two separate
but identifiable PACP/MACP defects.
14
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
The inspection method for manholes under NASSCO’s MACP is done in a manner similar to
sewer segment evaluation except that detailed photographs of the manholes can take the
place of actual CCTV inspections.
Once the inspections are completed and the defects identified, detailed PACP survey reports
for each segment are prepared. The reports identify the following:
• The distance (in feet) of the defect from the starting manhole
• The PACP defect code
• The description of the defect code
• Identify continuous defects (defect continues for more than three feet)
• Percentage of flow capacity restriction
• PACP/MACP grade
Once the detailed reports are completed, detailed PACP conditions for each segment are
located and plotted on a map of each segment.
Once the inspections are completed and the defects identified, NASSCO’s PACP/MACP
grading methodology gives each defect code an assigned condition grade value of 1 through
5. Conditional grades are assigned based on the following:
• Significance of the defect
• Extent of damage
• Location of the defect
• Percentage of flow capacity restriction
• Amount of wall loss due to deterioration
NASSCO’s PACP/MACP goes one step further and estimates the potential timing of
pipe/manhole failure based on the associated conditional score. The table below defines
NASSCO’s Defect Scoring system utilizing PACP/MACP as well as the estimated time to
failure.
15
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
PACP/MACP
Grade Description Estimated Time to Failure
1 Acceptable Structural Condition Unlikely in Foreseeable Future
2 Minimal Failure Risk 20 Years or More
3 Fair - Failure Unlikely In Near Future 10 to 20 Years
4 Poor - Failure Likely In Foreseeable Future 5 to 10 Years
Has Failed or Will Likely Fail Within
5 Immediate Attention - Failed or Failure Eminent the Next 5 years
The PACP/MACP condition grading system alone is inadequate for determining if a pipe
segment should be rehabilitated or replaced. Many other factors in addition to the internal
condition of the segment should be considered. The fact that a segment or manhole has a
significant Grade 4 or Grade 5 defects does not necessary mean the pipe segment or manhole
will have an immediate catastrophic failure. Other factors such as pipe age, sewer depth, type
of pipe, diameter of pipe, type of soils, and location (i.e. under buildings, railways, rivers,
heavy traffic) should also be evaluated to determine the likelihood of the failure and the
timing of the method for repair.
Pipe and manhole defects defined under NASSCO’s PACP as “Critical Priorities” are as
follows:
• Cracks and Fractures in the pipe segments or manhole walls. (Grade 4 or 5 depending
on the severity).
• Broken pipe segments or manhole walls. (Grade 5).
• Holes in the pipe or manhole walls. (Grade 4 or 5 depending on location).
• Collapsed pipe or manhole that has lost more than 40 percent of its original cross
sectional area. (Grade 5).
• Deformed pipe or manhole that has lost more than 10 percent of its original cross
sectional area. (Grade 4 or 5 depending on cross-sectional area).
• Offset joints when offset is greater than or equal to pipe wall thickness multiplied by
1.5. (Grade 4).
• Missing aggregate from concrete pipe due to corrosion or poorly manufactured
manholes and pipe. (Grade 4 or 5).
• Pipe and manhole corrosion due to hydrogen sulfide. (Grade 4 or 5 depending on the
severity).
• Sags and dips located in the pipe segments where the water surface level in the pipe is
greater than 50 percent of the cross sectional area. (Grade 4 or 5 depending on the
severity).

Appendix F provides a PACP inspection index and reports for all of the structurally
deteriorated sewers (Grade 4 or 5) that were inspected using PACP within the project areas.
Summary of Project Need
As described in the previous Sections, a detailed inventory and condition assessment of the
wastewater collection system was recently performed during the SAW Grant period between
2014 and 2016. Condition assessments included visual and MACP inspection of manholes,
zoom camera and PACP inspection of sewers, and visual inspection and operational testing of
pump stations. The extensive condition assessment effort was used to assess a Risk of Failure
(RoF) and Consequence of Failure (CoF) value for each asset. This practice of asset
management allows for data-driven decision making and is used to prioritize asset rehabilitation
and replacement.
Using the Level of Service (LoS) goals developed in their Wastewater Asset Management Plan,
the SAW period culminated with the development of a comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP). Several of the highest priority projects were included in the City of Muskegon 2018 and
2021 CWSRF Project Plans and have been completed in recent years. The remaining projects
described in this section were determined through the asset management process as part of a 2023
Capital Improvement Plan update and represent the current highest priority wastewater collection
system needs.
Standards Compliance and Reliability
The City of Muskegon is in compliance with existing regulations pertaining to wastewater
collection systems. However, the system is aging and as assets in the collection system fail,
they have the potential to degrade surface and ground water, which are prevalent in and
around the City. Over 50% of the existing sewer infrastructure in the study area was installed
prior to 1940, and many of the sewers and manholes are more than 100 years old. Some
sewers are deep, built below or adjacent to private businesses, and are very difficult to access
for maintenance or repair. Others are built at less than optimum grade and tend to back up
frequently. Some sewers within the system were modeled to have insufficient pipe capacity
to handle large rain events.
Furthermore, 80% of the sewers in the City are clay pipes which are brittle and highly
susceptible to root intrusion and infiltration through the joints. As a result of the increasing
17
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
rate of sewer failures and backups, the City of Muskegon Department of Public Works
(DPW) is often stretched thin and forced to be reactionary to sewer calls rather than proactive
with preventative maintenance. Specific details of the major known problems within the
study area are discussed further in Section 1.3.4.
All City of Muskegon wastewater is treated by the regional Muskegon County Wastewater
Management System Metro Plant, which was placed online in 1973. The facility uses a
system of wastewater lagoons to treat wastewater from the Muskegon County area
communities (City of Muskegon, City of Muskegon Heights, City of North Muskegon, City
of Roosevelt Park, City of Norton Shores, City of Montague, City of Whitehall, Cedar Creek
Township, Dalton Township, Egelston Township, Fruitland Township, Fruitport Township,
Laketon Township, Montague Township, Muskegon Township, and Whitehall Township).
The MCWMS Metro Plant is currently in compliance with its NPDES discharge permit
issued in August of 2015. The permit expired in October 2017 and a copy is included in
Appendix G. Paperwork was submitted for the new permit in 2018 but it has not been re-
issued as of the date of this report.
Orders of Enforcement Action
There are currently no orders of enforcement in place for the City of Muskegon’s wastewater
system.
Water Quality Problems
Over half of the City of Muskegon’s wastewater collection system was constructed as far
back as the early 1910’s to the 1930’s. The gravity sewers constructed between the 1910’s
and 1990’s were mainly constructed out of vitrified clay, with some reinforced concrete pipe
and cast iron pipe. Sewers installed since the 1990’s have primarily been constructed out of
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) or ductile iron material. Several trunk sewers within the City of
Muskegon collection system were determined to have structurally deficient sewers
(Ruddiman Creek, Houston/Monroe/Merrill Avenue, Spring Street, Amity Avenue, and
Division Street) and have been replaced in recent years to minimize the potential for failures
and contamination of nearby streams.
As the wastewater collection system continues to age, the infrastructure continues to
structurally deteriorate. Some collection system assets are in failing condition and have

DRAFT
reached or exceeded their useful lives. The majority of the problems in the system are a
result of structural failures in the sewer pipes, as detailed further in Section 1.3.4. Many of
these structural failures have the potential to cause backups within the sewer system which
could cause sanitary sewer overflows into nearby buildings and the natural environment
including surface waters such as Muskegon Lake, Ruddiman Creek, Ryerson Creek, and Four
Mile Creek. As pipe assets continue to age, the potential for further failure and water quality
incidents will only increase which will raise the chance of a sanitary sewer overflow to local
surface waters.
In addition to sewer pipe failures, other conditions exist within the system that increase the
risk of contaminating the natural environment and waters of the State. These conditions are
described in further detail in Section 1.3.4 and include the following: improper gravity main
slopes, inaccessible and unmaintainable sewers, and roots intruding into pipes. All of these
problems need to be addressed within the 20-year design period in order to reduce the risk of
sanitary sewer backups and subsequent water quality problems.
Residents within the service area are connected to the sanitary sewer system, therefore
leaking septic tank systems are not an issue. The recommended improvements provided in
this Project Plan pertain to replacing or rehabilitating existing collection system components
rather than extending the system into unsewered areas.
Projected Needs for the Next 20 Years
The City of Muskegon Wastewater Collection System has various projected needs over the
20-year design period. All project areas described below are roadways within the City that
have vitrified clay sewers that were installed in the 1920s (or prior), with the only exception
being the Glenside Neighborhood Sewers (Section 1.3.4.4) which has sewers installed within
unmaintained alleys in the 1930s. The Glenside Neighborhood Sewers were inspected using
PACP scoring (see reports in Appendix F). The remaining eight project areas have not been
inspected using PACP scoring. Alternatively, the manholes have been visually inspected (all
of which are brick) and sewer conditions were observed via zoom camera inspections.
Based on the City’s experience with recent sewer PACP inspections, and its historical
wastewater collection system maintenance, they have witnessed that 1920s vintage clay
sewers remaining within the City have reached their useful life and are in need of

replacement or rehabilitation to reduce the risk of overflows to the natural environment and
waters of the State. The City’s 1920s era clay sewers are brittle and highly susceptible to
cracking, fractures, breaks, holes, joint defects, sags, and significant root intrusions at the
joints and at lateral taps. Furthermore, sewers below the groundwater table are not water-
tight and are susceptible to infiltration and inflow through the joints and structural failures
within the pipes. Additionally, the old clay laterals connected to the sewers have similar
structural and O&M problems.
The project areas below require action because the approximately 100-year-old clay sewers
within them have reached the end the of their useful life. Project area needs in addition to the
excessive age of the sewers are discussed in detail below. The project areas are shown in
Figure 1.
Holbrook Avenue Sewer
The Holbrook Avenue Sewer is a trunk sewer collecting wastewater from the nearby
north-south alleys that was installed in the 1920s. An 8-inch sewer flows from Leahy
Street to the west to Peck Street. A 12-inch to 18-inch sewer flows from Leahy Street to
the east and discharges into the trunk sewer on Wood Street. Most sewers within the
project area were installed below minimum recommended slope, in addition to many of
the north-south alley sewers. Sewers below minimum slope can lead to debris buildup
and backups that increase the risk of overflows into the natural environment.
Additionally, there is a large trunk storm sewer on Holbrook Avenue within the project
area. The sewer is a 42-inch pipe at Wood Street and expands to a 66-inch sewer near the
project area limit at Peck Street. The storm sewer was installed at a similar elevation to
the sanitary sewer which resulted in five existing storm manholes with sanitary sewer
main or laterals crossing through them. The aging storm and sanitary sewer
infrastructure at these conflict locations increase the risk of sanitary sewer pipe failure
which would overflow directly into the storm sewer system which eventually discharges
into Ruddiman Creek and Muskegon Lake. A project is needed to address the structural
deterioration of the Holbrook Avenue Sewer, in addition to the storm and sanitary sewer
conflicts.

DRAFT
6th Street Sewer
The 6th Street Sewer is an 8-inch collector sewer on 6th Street from Laketon Avenue to
Washington Avenue. The upstream end of the sewer (near Laketon Avenue) was
installed below minimum slope in the 1920s. Due to low flushing velocities, sewer pipes
flatter than minimum slope are susceptible to debris buildup and require additional
maintenance, in addition to risking sewer backups. Additionally, there are seven known
storm manholes within the project area that have sanitary mains or laterals passing
through them. A project is needed to address the aging and deteriorating clay sewer, the
sewer pipes flatter than minimum grade, and the seven storm sewer and sanitary sewer
conflict structures to reduce the risk of wastewater overflows into the natural
environment.
7th Street Sewer
The 7th Street Sewer is an 8-inch collector sewer on 7th Street from Laketon Avenue to
Washington Avenue. Many of the sewer pipes on 7th Street were installed below
minimum slope in the 1920s. Due to low flushing velocities, sewer pipes flatter than
minimum slope are susceptible to debris buildup and require additional maintenance, in
addition to risking sewer backups. A project is needed to address the aging and
deteriorating clay sewer and the flatter than minimum grade sewer pipes to reduce the
risk of wastewater overflows into the natural environment.
Glenside Neighborhood Sewers
The large majority of the sanitary gravity mains and water mains in the Glenside
Neighborhood were installed in the 1930’s in unmaintained alleyways. Many sewer and
water utilities have fences, garages, trees, and other structures located directly above
them. The location of the sewers causes routine maintenance and any emergency
response to be extremely difficult. Many of the sewers have significant root and flow
blockage concerns, however the City’s maintenance equipment is unable to access many
of the manholes located under fences in residential backyards. Additionally, many of the
clay sewers have structural deficiencies such as fractures, holes, sags, and breaks. A
project is needed to reroute the most structurally deficient and inaccessible sanitary
sewers from the alleyways into the City-owned roadways in order to reduce the risk of
sewer backups, regain accessibility, and to meet the needs of the 20-year design period.

DRAFT
Wood Street Sewer
The Wood Street Sewer is a 20-inch to 24-inch trunk sewer on Wood Street from
Holbrook Avenue to Spring Street. The sewer is oversized based on existing sewer flow
rates and rather flat. The sewer regularly fills up with debris, requiring additional
maintenance from the City DPW, in addition to risking sewer backups and wastewater
overflows into the natural environment. Efforts to inspect the sewer using CCTV have
not been made because it is not cost effective.
Furthermore, the Sewer Flow Study (Appendix E) has shown that the collection district
that includes the Wood Street Sewer has excessive wet weather inflow and infiltration
(I/I). Further efforts to meter further upstream and narrow down the problem have shown
that upstream of the Wood Street Sewer also has an excessive wet weather I/I problem.
The sewer is the deepest sewer within the collection district, averaging 20 feet deep.
Therefore, it is suspected that the Wood Street Sewer may be contributing to, if not the
main cause for, the excessive I/I modeled within the area. A project is needed to address
the aging and deteriorating clay sewer, the excessive debris buildup, and remove
potentially excessive I/I to reduce the risk of wastewater overflows into the natural
environment.
Catherine Avenue Sewer
The Catherine Avenue Sewer is a 1920s era 8-inch collector sewer on Catherine Avenue
from Irwin Avenue to Wood Street. The sewer west of Spring Street was installed below
minimum slope. Due to low flushing velocities, sewer pipes flatter than minimum slope
are susceptible to debris buildup and require additional maintenance, in addition to
risking sewer backups. A project is needed to address the aging and deteriorating clay
sewer in addition to the flatter than minimum grade sewer pipes to reduce the risk of
wastewater overflows into the natural environment.
Jefferson Street Sewer
The Jefferson Street Sewer is an 8-inch collector sewer on Jefferson Street from Laketon
Avenue to Southern Avenue. The sanitary sewer and the storm sewer on Jefferson Street
were installed below minimum slope in the 1920s. Due to low flushing velocities, sewer
pipes flatter than minimum slope are susceptible to debris buildup and require additional

maintenance, in addition to risking sewer backups. The storm and sanitary sewers on
Southern Ave. were deepened and rerouted to flow toward Sanford St. in 2021 so that the
sewers which are flatter than minimum slope on Jefferson St. could be deepened and
replaced at appropriate slopes. A project is needed to address the aging and deteriorating
clay sewer in addition to the flatter than minimum grade sewer pipes to reduce the risk of
wastewater overflows into the natural environment.
Iona Avenue Sewer
The Iona Avenue Sewer is an 8-inch collector sewer on Iona Avenue from Arthur Street
to Wood Street. The sewer pipes on Iona Avenue were installed below minimum slope in
the 1920s. Due to low flushing velocities, sewer pipes flatter than minimum slope are
susceptible to debris buildup and require additional maintenance, in addition to risking
sewer backups. A project is needed to address the aging and deteriorating clay sewer and
the flatter than minimum grade sewer pipes to reduce the risk of wastewater overflows
into the natural environment.
Orchard Avenue Sewer
The Orchard Avenue Sewer is an oversized 15-inch sewer from Myrtle Avenue to Scott
Street and an 8-inch collector sewer from Scott Street to Getty Street. The 8-inch sewer
pipes on Orchard Avenue were installed below minimum slope in the 1920s. Due to low
flushing velocities, sewer pipes flatter than minimum slope are susceptible to debris
buildup and require additional maintenance, in addition to risking sewer backups. The
new 21-inch sewer on Fork Street was deepened in 2021 such that the 15-inch and 8-inch
sewer pipes on Orchard Ave. could be deepened and replaced at appropriate slopes. A
project is needed to address the aging and deteriorating clay sewer and the flatter than
minimum grade sewer pipes to reduce the risk of wastewater overflows into the natural
environment.
Other System Needs over Next 20 Years
The previous nine project need areas were determined through asset management
practices and developed from the City’s CIP. They represent the highest priority needs
for the system. Wastewater projects incorporated in the CIP other than those listed above
include the following, listed in no particular order:

• Dale Avenue Sanitary Sewer and Water Main (Park to Sanford)
• Austin Lift Station Force Main Replacement
• Frye & Cain Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation
• Sumner Avenue Sanitary Sewer Extension
• Apple Lift Station Pump 1 Replacement
• Industrial Park Lift Station Instrumentation and Control Upgrades
• Fisherman’s Village Lift Station Mechanical Asset Replacement
• Black Creek Lift Station Mechanical Asset Replacement
• 1203 Lakeshore and 2409 Roberts Grinder Station Replacements
These projects are planned to repair recurring system problems, to address aging
infrastructure, and to coordinate with other City-owned stormwater and drinking water
system upgrades. As outlined in the City’s Wastewater Asset Management Plan, the City
will continue to update their wastewater system inventory and condition assessments over
time. As system conditions change, the City may reprioritize current projects and/or
include additional projects. By proactively managing their wastewater system through
asset management, the City can ensure reliable and sustainable wastewater service at the
lowest life cycle cost for the community.
Future Environment without Proposed Projects
Without the construction of the proposed projects, the water quality of local streams, creeks
and rivers, and the basements served by the wastewater collection system could be degraded
or severely harmed during failure of a sewer or lift station.

2 Analysis of Alternatives
Identification of Potential Alternatives
Optimum Performance of Existing Facilities
As outlined in Section 1.3.4, the problems plaguing the City’s wastewater collection system
are all structural in nature as these assets have met or exceed their expected useful life.
Optimizing the performance of existing facilities will not fix the structural deterioration and
reliability concerns present within the system. Therefore, this option was not considered
further.
Regional Alternatives
The issues within the system are not regional issues, they are City specific issues. The
project areas are located within the City Boundaries and are not nearby any other
communities’ sewer systems. The City of Muskegon has adequate regional system
integration with Muskegon County’s Wastewater Collection System which does not have any
known capacity or conveyance issues within the study area. Therefore, regional alternatives
are not discussed further.
Water and Energy Efficiency
Water and energy efficiency is important when considering alternatives for wastewater
treatment plant processes and lift stations. However, the projects outlined in this plan are
needed based on structural pipe deficiencies and involve sewer rehabilitation and
replacement. Gravity and forcemain sewers themselves do not use water or energy during
their daily operation, they merely convey wastewater. Therefore, this consideration was not
discussed further for the projects in this report.
Identification of Principal Alternatives
Project 1: Holbrook Avenue Sewer
No Action
No action could potentially result in sanitary sewer overflows due to the additional debris
blockages as a consequence of the shallower than recommended slopes on Sanford Street
25
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
and the oversized 20-inch trunk sewer. The unreliable structural condition of the 1920’s
era clay sewers exacerbates the risk of failure and backups in this area. If no action were
taken, these sewers would continue to require excessive operation and maintenance
attention from the City DPW. The sewers would continue to structurally deteriorate,
adding unnecessary risk of contamination of the natural environment, and adjacent homes
and businesses. Therefore, the no action alternative was not considered further.
Rehabilitation
This alternative would involve CIPP lining the 8-inch to 18-inch gravity sewer on
Holbrook Avenue. While this would lower the risk of failure of the pipes, lining would
not solve the flatter sewer slope issues in the sewer. Additionally, CIPP lining would
also not solve joint offset defects typical within the older clay pipe, the deteriorating
brick manholes, or the deteriorating laterals. Therefore, the rehabilitation alternative was
not considered further.
Replacement
This alternative would involve replacing the gravity sewer by using the open-cut method.
The 8-inch sewer from Peck Street to Leahy Street has slopes below minimum grade,
however, it is not possible to deepen the sewer at this location. Consequently, it is
estimated that the 8-inch sewer could be replaced with a 12-inch sewer at appropriate
slopes. The existing 12-inch to 18-inch sewer between Leahy Street is oversized. This
alternative includes replacing the sewer in this location with a new 12-inch sewer at
minimum recommended slopes. Various storm sewer catch basin leads would need to be
replaced within the project area due to the sanitary sewer replacement. However, the
trunk storm sewer would not need to be replaced under this alternative. All sanitary
sewer conflicts with the storm sewer system would be attempted to be removed, if grades
allow. If the grades of the sewers make it impossible, the sanitary sewers in conflict
would be replaced with new sewer in such a way that would significantly reduce the risk
of sanitary sewer failure within the storm system.

Project 2: 6th Street Sewer
No Action
No action could potentially result in sanitary sewer overflows due to the additional debris
blockages as a consequence of the shallower than recommended slopes on 6th Street. The
unreliable structural condition of the 1920’s era clay sewers exacerbates the risk of
failure and backups in this area. If no action were taken, these sewers would continue to
require excessive operation and maintenance attention from the City DPW. The sewers
would continue to structurally deteriorate, adding unnecessary risk of contamination of
the natural environment, and adjacent homes and businesses. Furthermore, the aging
storm and sanitary conflict manholes would not be addressed, risking wastewater
overflows directly into the storm sewer system. Therefore, the no action alternative was
not considered further.
Rehabilitation
This alternative would involve CIPP lining the 8-inch gravity sewer on 6th Street. While
this would lower the risk of failure of the pipes, lining would not solve the flatter sewer
slope issues in the sewer. Additionally, CIPP lining would also not solve joint offset
defects typical within the older clay pipe, the deteriorating brick manholes, or the
deteriorating laterals. Therefore, the rehabilitation alternative was not considered further.
Replacement
This alternative would involve replacing the 8-inch gravity sewer on 6th Street from
Laketon Avenue to Washington Avenue by using the open-cut method. The sewer would
be deepened near the downstream (north) end so that the flatter upstream (south) end
would be replaced at appropriate sewer slopes. The storm sewers would be replaced
within the project area in order to remove the existing sanitary sewer elevation conflicts
with the storm system.
Project 3: 7th Street Sewer
No Action
No action could potentially result in sanitary sewer overflows due to the additional debris
blockages as a consequence of the shallower than recommended slopes on 7th Street. The

Project 4: Glenside Neighborhood Sewers
No Action
The large majority of the sanitary sewers and water mains in the Glenside Neighborhood
were installed almost 90 years ago in the alleyways. However, the alleyways are
unmaintained and most of the utilities have existing obstacles preventing access to them
in the case of an emergency. The obstacles include, but are not limited to: fences,
garages, landscaping, and trees. Not only is it extremely difficult to dig up the utilities in
the event of an emergency, it is difficult to perform routine cleaning and root cutting
maintenance throughout the neighborhood. Recent inspections have revealed that many
of the clay sewers have structural deficiencies such as fractures, holes, sags, and breaks.
No action would increase the risk of failure in the structurally deficient pipes as they age,
thus increasing the likelihood of sewer failures and backups into nearby basements. It
28
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
would also fail to address the current accessibility issues plaguing the neighborhood,
therefore the no action alternative was not considered further.
Rehabilitation
The sewer rehabilitation alternative would consist of CIPP lining the sewers within the
neighborhood that have significant structural deficiencies. This alternative would
decrease the risk of failure of the sewers in the neighborhood and extend their expected
useful life. However, lining does not solve the operation and maintenance issue, nor does
it improve the accessibility of the sewers in the event of a failure. Therefore, investing in
the sewers in their current location through rehabilitation was not considered further.
Replacement
The sewer replacement alternative involves rerouting the structurally deficient sewers out
of the unmaintained alleyways and into the road right-of-way. Figure 4 illustrates the
conceptual design of this alternative. Based on the existing sewer grades in the
neighborhood, the sewers west of Wickham Street would drain toward a new sewer on
Westwood Street that was installed in 2020 during Phase I of the Glenside Neighborhood
Sewer Project. Phase II is scheduled to be constructed in 2024 and includes sewer
installation west of Wickham Drive on Hadden Street, Lexington Avenue, and Randolph
Avenue. The majority of the sewers east of Wickham would be rerouted to drain toward a
new sewer on Cumberland in Phases IV and V. Phase VI, the final phase, would include
installing a sewer on Wickham Drive. The residential sewer laterals would need to be
rerouted from the back of the buildings to the front of the buildings in order to drain
toward the roadway.
The new sewers would be installed such that the sewers that remained in the alleys
following the project could be rerouted to the roadway in the future. Replacement of the
sewers in the roadway is the only feasible alternative for the Glenside Neighborhood
Sewers that meets all design parameters.

Therefore, the no action alternative was not considered further.
Rehabilitation
This alternative would involve CIPP lining the 20-inch to 24-inch gravity sewer on Wood
Street. While this would lower the risk of failure of the pipes, lining would not solve the
flatter sewer slope issues in the sewer or address the oversized nature of the sewer.
Additionally, CIPP lining would also not solve joint offset defects typical within the older
clay pipe or the deteriorating brick manholes. Therefore, the rehabilitation alternative
was not considered further.
Replacement

Pipe Material
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and ductile iron are the two pipe materials most commonly used for
construction of new sewers less than 48-inch diameter.
33
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Pipe / Polyethylene Pipe
PVC pipe and Polyethylene pipe are manufactured from petroleum derivatives, chlorine gas,
and vinyl chloride. PVC pipe and polyethylene pipe are sensitive to impacts like ultraviolet
light exposure and temperature. According to UNIBELL – the nationally recognized
authority on PVC pipe and Polyethylene pipe – the impact resistance of PVC pipe and
Polyethylene pipe is reduced by approximately 20 percent when exposed to ultraviolet light
for extended periods of time. However, PVC and polyethylene materials are resistant to
hydrogen sulfide corrosion which makes them optimal materials for sanitary sewer
construction.
As flexible pipe, PVC and Polyethylene are sensitive to the type of materials used for
bedding in the trench. The strength of flexible pipe largely comes from the soil supporting the
pipe from the centerline of the pipe and below. This requires close attention to proper
compaction of the granular backfill. Without proper compaction, flexible pipe can deflect
under the static load of the soil column to the point of bursting. Since PVC pipe and
polyethylene pipe are sensitive to installation compared to ductile iron, the cost associated
with installation can be higher than ductile iron.
Fittings connecting the PVC pipe materials for pressure application occasionally have
separated over time, which can cause breaks and sewage flooding.
PVC and polyethylene pipe are more difficult to locate because current locating technologies
rely on magnetic properties of the pipe material. Locating PVC pipe and polyethylene pipe
materials requires installation of a tracing wire. It is possible that this wire can be cut or
corrode over time, which may make locating the pipe more difficult.
In most new gravity sewer construction, PVC sewer pipe is an acceptable and cost effective
material. Due to the above concerns with fittings, PVC pipe materials will not be considered
for force main projects. Polyethylene pipe only will be considered for pressure application if
it is high density pipe with butt fusion fittings, flanged and mechanical joint adapters or
mechanical restraint.

DRAFT
Ductile Iron Pipe
The cost of installing ductile iron pipe may be slightly less than PVC since ductile iron pipe
is less dependent on the surrounding soils for its strength. The materials for manufacturing
ductile iron pipe are more environmentally friendly than PVC pipe and Polyethylene pipe
since it is made from recycled steel.
In select situations, there are numerous advantages to using ductile iron pipe over PVC pipe
and Polyethylene pipe. Therefore, ductile iron pipe will be considered in the forcemain
applications.
Method of Construction
Open Cut
Traditional open cut methods of excavation are used extensively in the West Michigan area
for installation of most underground public utilities. Although the City of Muskegon is a
more urban setting, the traffic volumes on many of the roads are not excessive enough to
warrant the generally more expensive trenchless technologies currently used today. Open cut
construction allows the greatest control of sewer grades in sanitary sewer installation. Many
of the projects require slopes far less than traditional trenchless technologies can meet. Open
cut will be the preferred method of construction for most applications.
Directional Drill
Directional drilling is the process of using a small, steer-able steel pipe that is guided under
the soil to create a pilot hole. The pipe is guided by above-grade monitoring equipment that
tracks the depth and location. Once the guided head reaches its location, the host pipe is
attached and pulled back through the pilot hole.
Successful directional drilling in gravity sanitary sewer applications requires pipe slopes
close to or exceeding one percent. The equipment guidance systems are not accurate enough
to install gravity lines with shallower pipe slopes consistently. All projects proposed require
minimum slopes much less than 1%.
35

DRAFT
Installing larger diameter pipes via directional drilling methods can be exceedingly costly
when compared to traditional open cut construction. Horizontal directional drilling will be
only be considered for construction of forcemain where grade is less critical.
Bore and Jack
Bore and Jack is a sewer installation method that involves horizontal boring. A hole is
drilled between sending and receiving pits without disturbing the ground surface. A bore
machine simultaneously ‘jacks’ casing while rotating augers remove the soil back to the
sending pit.
The bore and jack method of construction is much slower and more costly than traditional
open cut methods. However, the bore and jack process can be effective when crossing under
areas where surface disruption needs to be minimized. For example, bore and jack can be
beneficial when crossing under railroads, heavily trafficked roads, and/or nearby other
surface conditions that would be costly to restore. The only heavily traffic road where the
bore and jack method would be considered within the project area is the Wood Street Sewer
(Project 5) where the sewer crosses Laketon Avenue which was reconstructed in 2013. The
remaining sanitary sewers within the described project areas are entirely located within
residential neighborhoods. Therefore, the bore and jack method of construction will not be
considered as a sewer installation method for the remaining projects.
Pipe Burst
Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of pipe replacement where a new pipe of the same or
larger diameter is pulled through the existing host pipe while “bursting” the deteriorating
pipe. Two pits would need to be excavated on both ends of the pipe. A hydraulic machine
would then pull a the new pipe back toward the receiving pit behind the bursting head, which
breaks up the brittle host pipe to make space for the new one. Pipe bursting is often used to
replace brittle pipes such as cast iron, clay, asbestos cement and concrete. It is common
practice to be able to upsize the pipe up to two standard diameter sizes (e.g. 6-inch to 10-
inch, 10-inch to 15-inch, etc.) in most cases. Pipe bursting follows the existing pipe
alignment and slope.
Pipe bursting is more cost effective when there are fewer lateral connections, when additional
capacity is needed, and when ground surface restoration costs are high. Significant

s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
bypassing is required for this method. Any sags in the pipe will not be removed with this
method. All of the proposed sanitary sewer replacement projects are located within
residential neighborhoods where ground surface restoration costs are relatively low and
sanitary sewer lateral connections are high. Therefore the pipe bursting method will not be
considered as a sewer replacement method for the sewer replacement projects described in
this report.
Analysis of Principal Alternatives
The Monetary Evaluation
Detailed cost estimates for each alternative are included in Appendix H. EGLE requires a
present worth analysis for each project and its alternatives. The present worth analysis seeks
to show a monetary comparison of costs for all viable alternatives and the direct impact to
sewer users. Factors that are included in the analysis are:
• Capital Costs
• Capitalized Interest Costs
• Operation, Maintenance, and Replacement (OM&R) Costs
• Energy Cost Savings
• Salvage Value of Capital
• Discount Rate Set by the EPA
Several of the factors above are fixed known costs (Capital, Interest, and Salvage Value).
Several other factors are variable and are estimated based on best available data (OM&R and
Energy Cost Savings). It is anticipated that with improvements to the system, OM&R will be
reduced for most sewers. Estimates are used but actual costs will not be known until the work
has been completed and real data is available. The reduction in the OM&R on these sewers
will allow the City DPW to focus on other locations throughout the City.
Appendix I shows the present worth analysis for each option discussed. Only CWSRF
eligible costs are included in the present worth analysis. Selected alternatives for Project 4
(Glenside Neighborhood Sewers) were divided into phases which are further described in

DRAFT
Section 3.1. The cost estimates include all costs associated with engineering, construction,
and mitigation cost if necessary. In summary, the monetary evaluation results are as follows:
Project 1: Holbrook Avenue Sewer
Alternative No. 1 Replacement. This alternative would involve replacing the gravity
sewer by using the open-cut method. The 8-inch sewer from Peck
Street to Leahy Street has slopes below minimum grade, however,
it is not possible to deepen the sewer at this location.
Consequently, it is estimated that the 8-inch sewer could be
replaced with a 12-inch sewer at appropriate slopes. The existing
12-inch to 18-inch sewer between Leahy Street is oversized. This
alternative includes replacing the sewer in this location with a
new 12-inch sewer.
CWSRF eligible costs include approximately 2,750 feet of 8-inch
sewer and laterals to property lines. Due to the location of the
sewers and widths of the streets, CWSRF-eligible costs only
assume partial road replacement. Storm sewer catch basin leads
are included in the project, however, it is anticipated that the 42-
inch to 66-inch trunk storm sewer would remain in place. Due to
grade conflicts with the sanitary sewer, sanitary sewers crossing
through storm manholes would have to be replaced in five
locations. The City of Muskegon is also planning to abandon the
existing 6-inch water mains within the project area and replace all
water services onto the existing 24-inch water main. The City is
pursuing Drinking Water Revolving Fund (DWSRF) funding for
the water main work (water main and water service replacement
only).
The CWSRF eligible cost for this alternative is estimated at
$1,992,000. There are no other viable alternatives.
Project 2: 6th Street Sewer

$2,553,000. There are no other viable alternatives.
Project 4: Glenside Neighborhood Sewers
Alternative No. 1 Replacement (Figure 4). The sewer replacement alternative
involves rerouting the old, structurally deficient sewers out of the
unmaintained alleyways and into the City-owned road right-of-
way. Wastewater flows would be redirected toward new sewers
on Westwood Street and Cumberland Street. Work on private
property would be required to reroute laterals from the alley to
road right-of-way (CWSRF ineligible). Water mains in the
affected alleys could also be abandoned (CWSRF ineligible) and
rerouted to the road right-of-way if the City chooses during the
design period.
CWSRF eligible costs include approximately 12,630 feet of 8-
inch to 10-inch gravity sewer, lateral replacement to the property
line, and some storm sewer and catch basin replacement required
for sanitary sewer installation.
The CWSRF eligible cost for this alternative is estimated at
$11,152,000.
CWSRF ineligible costs include all work on private property
required to reroute the residential laterals from the alleyway to the
road. Water main costs are estimated to be $1,492,000 for Phase
III. Water main costs are not included for Phases IV through VI.
The CWSRF ineligible cost for this alternative (lateral rerouting)
is estimated at $4,474,000. There are no other viable alternatives.

The Environmental Evaluation
In the previous CWSRF Project Plan submitted by the City of Muskegon in 2018, the City
was required to make contact with several organizations to determine if there will be any
cultural or natural environmental impact by the proposed construction activities. However,
EGLE no longer requires the applicant to contact these organizations when preparing the
Project Plan. Nevertheless, below is a brief initial discussion of the potential impacts the
proposed projects will have on cultural and environmental resources based on available
preliminary information.
Cultural Resources
The proposed projects will not impact existing structures in work areas. Therefore, no
historic or archaeological sites are expected to be impacted by the construction of the
proposed project.

Natural Environment
Climate
Normal climatological information for the City of Muskegon was obtained from the
National Weather Service Forecast Office located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Averages Spring Summer Fall Winter
High Temperature 55 80 59 33
Low Temperature 37 60 43 22
Mean Temperature 46 69 51 28
Precipitation (inches) 8.41 8.31 10.36 6.41
Seasonal Snowfall
11.3 0 6.2 76.2
(inches)
Air Quality
It is not anticipated that the proposed projects would facilitate the growth of any
residential or commercial development as all of the projects are either rehabilitating
or replacing existing wastewater infrastructure. Therefore the projects would not
negatively impact the air quality in the affected areas.
Wetlands
A wetlands map containing City of Muskegon service area is included in Appendix J.
The wetland delineation data was obtained from the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI).
Based on the wetland maps, it does not appear that wetlands will be impacted in any
of the project areas. However, if any wetlands are suspected to be located within the
project area a wetland survey will be completed in preliminary design to determine
the presence of wetlands. If wetlands are in the project area, a detailed plan will be
developed to avoid or minimize the wetland impact and all necessary wetland permits
will be obtained.

DRAFT
Coastal Zones
A coastal zone management area map showing the City of Muskegon area is included
in Appendix K. The coastal zone delineation data was obtained from the Michigan
Coastal Zone Management Program, Office of the Great Lakes. The City of
Muskegon includes a beautiful section of the Lake Michigan Shoreline which
includes Pere Marquette Park and portions of Kruse Park and Muskegon State Park.
Based on the coastal zone map, it appears that all proposed projects lie within a
coastal zone management area. However, none of the proposed work for these
projects will have any effect on the Lake Michigan Shoreline. All projects will be
consistent with the approved state coastal zone management program.
Floodplains
Floodplain Maps for the City of Muskegon are provided in Appendix L. The maps
are provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the
floodplain areas show the location of the 100-year floodplain.
It is anticipated that none of the projects require work within a floodplain. However
if work is required within a floodplain, ground surfaces will be restored after
construction such that no fill will be placed in the floodplain.
Upon authorization and completion of detailed design, a determination of floodplain
impacts will be made, a mitigation plan will be developed and all applicable and
necessary permits will be obtained from the EGLE.
Inland Lakes and Streams
It is anticipated that none of the projects will impact nearby inland lakes and streams
and will not require an EGLE permit.
Natural or Wild and Scenic Rivers
No designated wild, scenic or natural rivers or tributaries exist within the study area.
According to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Muskegon River is
“under study” for inclusion as a National Wild and Scenic River. However, the
45
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
proposed projects will not impact the Muskegon River or have any adverse impact on
a designated river segment. A watershed map is provided in Appendix M.
National Natural Landmarks
The lists of National Natural Landmarks in Michigan on the EGLE’s website and the
National Parks Service website were reviewed to determine whether there are any
listed landmarks that could be impacted by project construction or operation. It was
determined that no national natural landmarks exist within the project study area.
Recreational Facilities
The City of Muskegon community has many outdoor activities to offer. A map
showing the recreational facilities is shown in Appendix N.
Topography
The study area is located along the coastline of Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake.
The water surface elevation in Lake Michigan is what controls the water surface
elevation of Muskegon Lake and portions of the surrounding creeks. Lake Michigan
water levels typically fluctuate between 576 and 582 feet. The highest elevation in
the study area used to be Pigeon Hill before it was mined for sand. Now the highest
elevation is roughly 730 feet near the Lake Michigan shoreline. A topographic map
based on contours provided by Muskegon County is shown in Appendix O.
A large majority of the surface runoff in the study area is directed towards Muskegon
Lake, while smaller portions flow directly to Lake Michigan or south to Mona Lake
(via Little Black Creek). The major tributaries to Muskegon Lake in the study area
are Ruddiman Creek, Ryerson Creek, and Four Mile Creek. All proposed projects
are within the Muskegon Lake watershed.
Geology
According to the Hydrogeologic Atlas of Michigan, the surficial geology of the study
area consists of lake bed deposits of sand. The thickness of the unconsolidated
sediments ranges from approximately 200 to 400 feet in the vicinity of the Study
area.

DRAFT
Soils
The soils in the study area may generally be described as sandy with high
concentrations of Rubicon sand. These soils are generally highly permeable, such
that water tends to infiltrate the soils and runoff potential is low. There is an area
within the City known as the Clay Hill Neighborhood where the soils largely consist
of clayey types, as the name of the neighborhood would indicate. This area is
approximately bounded by Ruddiman Creek, Muskegon Lake, and Seaway Drive.
These soils are not highly permeable which creates high runoff potential.
A General Soil Map for the City is included in Appendix P. As a part of the final
design process, soil borings will be obtained in select areas. These soil borings will
be useful in determining soil types, depth to groundwater, and soil stability.
Agricultural Resources
Prime farmland, as defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is the land that is
best suited to producing food, feed, forage, fiber, and oilseed crops. When treated and
managed using acceptable farming methods, it has the soil quality, growing season,
and moisture supply needed to economically produce a sustained high yield of crops.
Prime farmland produces the highest yields with minimal inputs of energy and
economic resources.
Prime farmland may now be cropland, pasture, or woodland, or it may be in other
uses, but it is not urban and built-up land or water areas. The City is largely
developed and no agricultural land is present within the study area as noted in the
existing land use map (Appendix A), zoning map (Appendix B), and future land use
map (Appendix C).
Fauna and Flora
The proposed projects are located in urbanized, highly developed areas. The majority
of construction would occur within road and alley right-of-ways. Therefore it is
unlikely that construction would impact habitats of the endangered and threatened
species within the study area. During the design phase of the projects, appropriate
investigation will be performed and permits will be obtained in order to ensure that
all endangered or threatened species are protected.
47
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
While most endangered or threatened flora and fauna are not likely to have habitats
within the urbanized project areas, habitats of the Indiana bat (endangered) and the
Northern long-eared bat (threatened) have the potential to be encountered. These bats
typically roost under bark or in crevices in trees. It may be determined that tree-
cutting is required in the project areas. If possible, the cutting will be limited to the
time periods between October 1 and March 31 in order to protect young bats that are
not able to fly. Otherwise, surveys of the trees will be performed by a qualified
biologist in order to determine whether the trees are potential habitats for the bats.
Unique and Natural Features
The City of Muskegon is unique because of its proximity to various natural water
features, stunning shorelines, and recreational opportunities. A map of the natural
features in the study area is included in Appendix Q. These qualities of the study
area will not be adversely impacted by the proposed wastewater system
improvements. Instead, construction of the proposed projects will ensure that the
community will continue to have a reliable and sustainable wastewater system for
years to come.
Contaminated Sites
The City of Muskegon has a long history as an industrial port. Unfortunately, some
past and present industries have contaminated the soil and groundwater in various
areas throughout the City. A series of maps in Appendix R highlight all of the known
contamination sites throughout the City.
There are no known contaminated sites nearby the proposed project areas. However,
if contamination is suspected when soil borings are collected or during construction,
groundwater samples will be taken to identify if contamination is present at the
location. Pretreatment of dewatering or discharge into the sanitary sewer may be
required depending on the situation. EGLE will be consulted so as to not cause the
contamination to spread.

United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
3 Selected Alternative
Description of the Selected Alternative
Figure 5 shows the selected wastewater system improvement locations in the City’s wastewater
collection system. A summary of the selected alternatives including brief descriptions and cost
estimates is included in Table 4.
General scopes of work were developed in this project plan and are included in the project cost
estimates to make a preliminary determination of project eligibility. Detailed scopes of work and
bases of design were not developed as part of this planning document. Detailed bases of design,
including existing and proposed flows and capacities will be provided for all projects when a
funding source has been identified and when design engineering has been authorized.
Project 1: Alternative No. 1. Replace the existing 8-inch to 18-inch trunk sewer with
approximately 2,750 feet of 12-inch sewer on Holbrook Avenue from Peck
Street to Wood Street via the open-cut method. Replace all laterals within the
right-of-way. Project includes ¾ of the road reconstruction costs with the
assumption the remaining ¼ of the costs would be non-eligible.
The total estimated project cost is $1,992,000. The total estimated non-
eligible road reconstruction cost is $402,000. The total estimated DWSRF
eligible cost is $472,000.
Project 2: Alternative No. 1. Deepen and replace approximately 2,850 feet of 8-inch
sewer on 6th Street from Laketon Ave. to Washington Ave via the open-cut
method. Replace all laterals within the right-of-way. Reconstruct all roadway

roadway within the project area.
The total estimated project cost is $1,156,000.
Project 4: Alternative No. 1. Due to the large overall scope of the Glenside
Neighborhood Sewers Project, the Project is divided into six phases. The first
phase was completed in 2020. The second phase is scheduled to be
constructed in 2024. Figure 4 illustrates the conceptual design for the
neighborhood and the proposed phasing.
Install all sewers using open-cut methods. Sewer laterals connecting to
sewers in the alleys designated for abandonment will be rerouted into new
sewers in the road right-of-way. Full road reconstruction will be required
where new sanitary gravity mains are relocated (CWSRF eligible). Work on
private property will be required for lateral rerouting and is included in cost
estimates as a CWSRF ineligible expense.
During the design period, the City may also decide to reroute the aging water
mains located within the unmaintained alleys into the road right-of-way.
Water main replacement costs are a CWSRF ineligible expense but financing
will be pursued through the DWSRF program. Water main costs were
included for reference in the Phase III cost estimate, yet it was assumed that
the road restoration costs would derive entirely from CWSRF funding. Water
main costs were excluded from the cost estimates for Phases IV through VI.
The total estimated CWSRF eligible cost for the entire project (Phases III
through VI) is $11,152,000. The total estimated private property cost
(CWSRF ineligible) for the entire project is $1,745,000. The total estimated
DWSRF eligible costs for Phases II and III is $4,474,000.
The details of the proposed phasing are as follows:
Phase I – Completed in 2020

The 8-inch sewer on Westwood Street was replaced with 8-inch sewer from
Randolph Avenue to Muskegon County’s Ryerson Creek Trunk Sewer near
Glen Avenue. All laterals on the east side of Westwood Street were rerouted
to the new sewer in the road right-of-way. Phase I is the smallest phase and
was used as a “pilot project” to develop and improve the City’s method for
rerouting the residential sewer laterals and communicating with affected
customers.
Phase II – FY23 (2024 Construction)
Construct 8-inch sewer on Lexington Avenue from Westwood Street to
Wickham Drive. Construct 8-inch sewer on Hadden Street from Randolph
Avenue to Wickham Drive. Construct 8-inch sewer on Randolph Avenue
between Westwood Street and Wickham Drive. Reroute all laterals to the
road right-of-way within the project area. Abandon the alley sewers between
Westwood Street and Hadden Street. Additionally, abandon the alley sewer
in the block encompassed by Lexington Avenue, Hadden Street, and
Wickham Drive.
The project is currently in the design phase and will be constructed in 2024
using FY23 CWSRF funding.
Phase III – FY24
Construct 8-inch sewer on Westwood Street from Randolph Avenue to
Montague Avenue. Construct 8-inch sewer on Winchester Drive and
Montague Avenue west of Wickham Drive. Reroute all laterals to the road
right-of-way within the project area. Abandon the alley sewers between
Randolph Avenue and Winchester Drive, and the alley sewers between
Winchester Drive and Montague Avenue.

DRAFT
Authority to Implement the Selected Alternatives
Implementation of the proposed project is based on the assumption that the project will be
financed by a low-interest loan from the CWSRF program. City of Muskegon has the necessary
legal, institutional, financial, and managerial resources available to ensure the construction,
operation and maintenance of the proposed facilities.
Financials
The City of Muskegon recently developed a financial plan as required by EGLE as part of the
SAW grant program. As a result, the City has continued instituting rate adjustments
according to the plan in anticipation of future capital improvements. The City of Muskegon
has sufficient funds to pay for the proposed bond payments for the bonding period of twenty
years.
Design/Permits
All FY2024 projects will be under design later in 2023 and will be submitted for all
necessary permits prior to the required deadline.
Users Costs
EGLE requires the applicant to perform a Present Worth analysis of the various options. The
Present Worth analysis (Appendix I) uses discount factors that reduce the annual expenses
compared to what the annual bond payment would be. Appendix S contains the annual cost
summary and provides the worst-case scenario where the proposed bond payment will not be
reduced by any anticipated discounts related to salvage value, reduction in OM&R, energy
savings, principal forgiveness, or grants. The expected annual debt service for the proposed
projects FY 2024 projects based on the CWSRF loan criteria, and a 2.75% interest rate will be
approximately $671,500 per year.
This provides a worst-case scenario where the proposed bond payment will not be reduced by
any anticipated discounts related to salvage value, reduction in OM&R, energy savings, principal
forgiveness, or grants. This would represent an approximate increase in user rates of $4.00 per
month for the average residential user. The City will make a decision on final number of projects
to complete and any rate adjustments once the CWSRF funding levels for FY 2024 are set.

DRAFT
Overburdened Community
The City of Muskegon meets the definition of being “overburdened” based the definition
established by EGLE under the CWSRF program. The City’s median annual household income
is $37,827 and the City’s taxable land value per capita $16,910, which are below the criteria
established by EGLE. The overburdened status typically qualifies the community for extra
consideration for grants and loan principal forgiveness.
Useful Life
The City of Muskegon intends to pay back the CWSRF loan on a 20-year amortization schedule.
EGLE guidance requires that the loan terms must not exceed the useful life of the project.
All projects are general sanitary gravity main sewer installation. The expected useful life for new
sanitary sewer pipes and manholes is approximately 75 years. For these projects, the useful life
far exceeds the length of the loan terms.
4 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
General
The anticipated environmental impacts resulting from the construction of the selected plan
include beneficial and adverse, short and long-term, and irreversible and irretrievable. The
following is a discussion of the anticipated environmental impacts of the selected plan.
Beneficial Impacts
• Construction activities associated with the wastewater system would occur primarily
within existing road rights-of-way and alleys; construction will be confined to the
section of sanitary sewer being replaced minimizing disturbance to residents.

DRAFT
Analysis of Impacts
Direct Impacts
Based strictly on the location of the nine projects (Figure 5), it is not expected that there will
be impacts to wetlands or floodplains. There is a potential to impact endangered species
depending on their presence within the project areas. Impact to the endangered species will
be avoided were possible. If impact is unavoidable, it will be minimized and mitigated, if
necessary, and all permits will be obtained.
Wetlands
It is anticipated that none of the projects will impact any wetlands.
Floodplains
It is anticipated that none of the projects will require work within a floodplain.
Other Resources
The construction of the proposed project should have no effect on historic,
archaeological, geographic, cultural or recreational areas, as most construction activities
would be confined to existing developed sites and within road rights-of-way or existing
sewer easements. Previously referenced figures show the proposed construction locations
for the project. No residences or businesses would be relocated.
The projects will not detrimentally affect the water quality or air quality in the area,
Water quality can be protected during construction via turbidity curtains and proper bank
stabilization.
The CWSRF program requires competitive bidding for all projects exceeding $50,000.
This will allow a larger number of contractors to bid on the projects compared to projects
that would be solicited to a short list of contractors. Construction related jobs may be
created due to the amount of work anticipated to be completed in the next few years.
The proposed projects are not intended to extend or construct new road to previously
undeveloped lands within the work areas. The proposed work is to replace or improve an
existing wastewater collection system to better serve its existing customers.
59
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
In most cases, portions of existing road will be replaced since the proposed sewer main
may be located in segments of the road pavement. This reconstruction of existing roads
would bring them into current standards of road construction and improve safety.
Indirect Impacts
The proposed wastewater facilities are sized to provide service for 20 years of future growth
in the study area, based on current trends. Future growth in the study area will not greatly
alter the character of the area. Future growth would be subject to conformance with the land
use and zoning plans of City of Muskegon.
Cumulative Impacts
Providing a more reliable wastewater collection system with new updated equipment and
structures to the customers of the system would be the primary cumulative impact anticipated
from the construction of the project.
5 Mitigation
Short Term Construction Related Mitigation
Standard procedures used in the construction industry will be included in the construction
contract documents to mitigate construction activities.
Traffic Disruption
All projects are located in road rights-of-way and in sewer easements where streets, parking
areas and pedestrian facilities may be impacted. All components of the project will be
coordinated carefully with residences and businesses in the area, and construction methods
will be selected to minimize disruptions.
Standard traffic and safety control devices such as barricades and lighted barrels will be in
place to warn and protect residents during construction activities.
Dust and Noise
Dust control methods such as water and/or brine will be used to keep dust to a minimum. All
haul roads and public roadways will be swept daily and maintained to assure residents access
to the area. Construction equipment will be maintained in good condition to decrease noise.
60
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
Soil Erosion
Soil erosion and sedimentation control measures such as straw bales, sedimentation basins,
and silt fence, will be part of the construction activities to prevent soil release and protect
streams and wetlands.
Wastewater Service Disruption
During construction of the wastewater projects, residents and businesses existing sewer
services must be transferred to the sewer mains. This typically will require the use of bypass
pumping.
Working in Floodplains
It is anticipated that none of the projects will require work within a floodplain.
Working in Wetlands
It is anticipated that none of the projects will impact any wetlands.
Potential Loss of Wildlife / Habitat
The proposed projects are located in urbanized, highly developed areas. The majority of
construction would occur within road and alley right-of-ways. Therefore it is unlikely that
construction would impact habitats of the endangered and threatened species within the study
area. During the design phase of the projects, appropriate investigation will be performed and
permits will be obtained in order to ensure that all endangered or threatened species are
protected.
If trees are required to be cut down for any project, tree cutting activities will be limited to
the time periods between October 1 and March 31, if possible. If tree cutting is performed
outside of this season, surveys of the trees will be performed in order to determine whether
they are roost trees for the endangered Indiana bat or the threatened Northern long-eared bat.
Mitigation of Potential Long-Term Impacts
General construction activities in the wastewater system improvements will prohibit the disposal
of soils in wetlands, floodplains, or other sensitive areas. Catch basins will be protected on the
distribution system where earth changing activities will take place.
61
s:\2023\2230380 city of muskegon\rep\fy24 cwsrf project plan\draft rep 2023-04 cwsrf project plan - muskegon.docx
DRAFT
Permits
All Part 41 construction permits will be obtained. It is not anticipated that permit applications
will be required from EGLE for wetlands (Part 303), floodplains (Part 31), or inland lakes
and streams (Part 301). Permit applications for soil erosion and sedimentation control (SESC)
will be submitted and permits obtained from Muskegon County Department of Public Works.
Use of Natural Resources
As a result of the sewer main construction, natural resources such as gravel, sands, oil, and
fuels will be utilized and consumed. To minimize the impact on the natural resources a
number of things will be utilized during the construction.
Recycled materials like scrap iron will be used to make the ductile iron forcemain pipe. This
will require less use of iron ore that is mined from the ground. The use of erosion control
measures will be composed of recycled or natural products that do not use or use less
synthetic materials made from oil.
Energy Use
The use of energy is inevitable in operating wastewater lift stations, maintaining sewer
infrastructure, and producing materials used for construction. Using recycled or natural eco-
friendly products as part of the construction process will use less energy compared to using
nonrenewable resources. The use of the recycled and/or eco-friendly products will not
completely mitigate the use of all energy but it will offset a small percent.
An additional benefit of the Project Plan is that the volume of I&I is likely to decrease due to
the replacement of leaky, structurally deficient sewers throughout the City. This will result in
reduced energy demand for pumping and treating the wastewater.
Mitigation of Indirect Impacts
There are no major projected changes in the land use of the study area that would significantly
impact wastewater flows beyond the average daily flow projections and maximum daily flow
projections provided in Tables 2 and 3. A copy of the zoning and land use maps for the City are
included in Appendix A, B and C. All of the projects are proposed in order to replace existing

sewer and lift station infrastructure. None of the proposed projects are located in areas where
significant growth or land use changes are projected to occur.
All of the community’s ordinances can be found on their website. General rules are the same as
EGLE permits require, such as storm water containment, and soil erosion and sedimentation
control.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: 4/25/23 Title: Anchor Insurance Parking Lot
Lease for City Employee Parking
Submitted By: Jake Eckholm Department: Development Services
Brief Summary:
With the construction of Lofts at 1021 Jefferson, the road diet on Terrace, and potential
development at 122 W. Muskegon (McDonald’s Lot) there is no longer adequate parking for
employees at City Hall without impacting citizen parking areas. Staff has identified a lease option
for dedicated employee parking.
Detailed Summary & Background:
Since 2019 it has been anticipated that development and infrastructure changes around City Hall
would necessitate a permanent parking amenity for city staff. The previous parking lot on 1021
Jefferson was never widely used due to the mid-block crossing on Apple Avenue to access the
building. After that was constructed, most staff have parked on the diagonal spaces installed on
Terrace or in the closed down McDonald’s parking lot across the street. These options are no
longer sustainable either, as Terrace parking is being reoriented with the road diet and our team is
actively working on redevelopment options at the McDonald’s site. Additionally, our insurance
company has requested that we procure dedicated employee parking that we have site control
over to reduce liability.
For about 18 months staff worked to negotiate a long-term lease for parking at the St. Mary’s
Catholic Church parking lot on Webster, and unfortunately both the church and the city could not
get the Archdiocese in Grand Rapids to be particularly responsive to the concept. This
arrangement would have been predicated on the city improving the parking lot substantially up
front and then having a nominal lease payment moving forward.
As we experienced difficulty dealing with the Archdiocese, we reached out to the owner of Anchor
Insurance who has relocated into the former Fifth Third bank building at 877 Terrace. Mr. Jim
Mines has already completely rehabbed the parking lot with resurfacing, lighting, striping, and
landscaping so we would have a higher annual lease payment, but no capital project on the front
end. Our annual payment will be $25,000 for the first five years for 52 spaces which equates to
$1.32 per space/day. This is a competitive price for commercial leases for employee parking we
have found in other markets, both for covered and uncovered lots. After the fifth year, annual rent
inflation would be tied to the CPI with a cap of no more than 8% each year.
