Landfill leachate treatment design progresses; city staff seeking funding and EGLE meeting
Summary
City landfill staff told council the 90% design submittal for a leachate treatment facility is under review, staff have requested previously paid 30% design deliverables, and city representatives plan to meet with EGLE to pursue funding for the unfunded mandate.
City landfill staff updated the council on progress toward a leachate treatment facility and said a 90% design package has been submitted for review.
The staff member reported that the 30% design deliverable — which the city previously paid for — has been requested and that Jack Kugelman is reviewing the 90% drawings. Staff said they are arranging a meeting with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) to discuss funding options for what was described as an unfunded mandate.
Staff said there are no active projects at the landfill beyond ongoing roofing work and that they will keep the council informed about the EGLE meeting and funding discussions. No budgets or funding sources were finalized in the update.
