1.0 INTRODUCTION The City of Howell (City) depends upon groundwater sources to supply drinking water to residents and businesses through a municipal water system. One of the primary goals of the Wellhead Protection Plan (WHPP) is to protect the City’s groundwater supplies from contamination by formulating and implementing a set of actions and management practices to protect the water supply from potential sources of contamination. AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. (AMEC) as part of a team with the City’s municipal engineer Hubbell, Roth & Clark, Inc. (HRC) worked closely with the City with the preparation of this WHPP. This WHPP was prepared in accordance with guidance documents available from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), Water Resource Division. Michigan’s Wellhead protection program was developed in response to the 1986 amendments to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Wellhead protection is a voluntary program which is implemented on a local level through the coordination of activities by local, county, regional and state agencies. Funding for the development of this WHPP was provided by the City and the state of Michigan through the Wellhead Protection Grant Program. This WHPP is intended to be a working document. In order for the WHPP to achieve its goal, this document needs to be used frequently and updated when necessary. One must remember the City intends to use its water supply for an indefinite period of time. As long as groundwater is used by the City, this WHPP will have to be maintained to remain useful. A copy of the WHPP will be available for review at City Hall and will be updated periodically by the City. The WHPP provides background information about the City’s water supply system, a summary of each of the seven elements of the City’s WHPP, recommended procedures for maintaining the WHPP, an implementation schedule, and a guide to resources that can be used as the WHPP is implemented. Supporting information is provided in associated figures, tables and appendices. 1.1. Community Location and Population The City is located in the central portion of Livingston County, Michigan. The City is bounded on the north and west by Howell Township, on the east by Oceola and Genoa Townships and on the south by Marion Township. The City covers approximately 5.5 square miles of land area and approximately 0.4 square miles of surface water for a total of 5.9 square miles. According to the 2010 Census the City has a population count of 9,489, an increase of 257 or 2.78% over the 2000 Census (9,232 population). The City’s main well field is located in Marion Township. However, two of the City’s additional production wells are located within the City. The Marion, Howell, Oceola, Genoa Sewer and Water Authority (MHOG) operates a well field approximately 6,500 feet west of the City’s main well field in Marion Township which serves a different population than the City’s water supply. The region surrounding the City of Howell’s main well field in Marion Township is gently rolling hills to undulating topography, with numerous lakes, ditches, wetlands, creeks, and
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 2 streams. Ground surface elevations in the area range from about 890 feet above mean sea level (amsl) east of the City’s well field to about 1,080 feet amsl approximately one mile east of the Howell and MHOG well fields and south of the City of Howell well field. The elevation within the well fields ranged from 980 to 1,000 feet amsl for Howell and 905 to 915 feet amsl for MHOG. The Red Cedar River, along with the South Branch Shiawassee River located approximately ¾ mile east of the City of Howell well field, are the hydraulic controlling surface water features for the area. The majority of the City’s land area is developed. Approximately 73% of the City is currently developed as residential, commercial or industrial land use. Approximately 16% of the City is used for recreation, City parks or is undeveloped land such as surface water/wetlands. There is approximately 11% of the city remaining that could be considered developable. 1.2. Present Service Area According to information compiled in the April 2012, “2012 Water Master Plan Update & Reliability Study of the City of Howell,” prepared by HRC, the City of Howell has approximately 437 commercial/industrial/government users and 2,392 residential/multi-residential customers which are served by the Public Water Supply System (PWSS) owned and operated by the City. The current water distribution system consists of five publicly owned water supply wells, one emergency back-up well, a water treatment plant with ground storage reservoir, one water tower, and a water main distribution system. The City’s Marion Township well field which includes production wells 4, 5, 6, and 8, is located approximately 2.3 miles southwest of the water treatment plant. Production well 1 is located at the Water Treatment Plant and production well 7 is located approximately 0.2 miles southeast of the water treatment Plant. The locations of the production wells are as shown on Figure 1, Well Locations. Further, Figure 2, Geographic Areas of Service provides a depiction of the current approximate geographic areas that are served by the municipal well system. Additional information regarding the components of the water distribution system is described below. City of Howell Storage Tank – Water Treatment Plant and Ground Storage Reservoir: The City’s Water Treatment plant located at 150 Marion Street treats up to 3.1 million gallons of groundwater daily. The Water Treatment Plant was constructed in 1992 and uses a Claricone and rapid water sand filters for softening and filtering the groundwater. A ground storage reservoir with a capacity of 630,000 gallons was constructed with the new Water Treatment Plant to provide storage capacity to meet peak demands and to provide an increased reserve for fire protection. City of Howell Storage Tank – North Tower: The 300,000 gallon elevated storage tank is located in the City on the north side of Thompson Street, west of Thompson Lake and approximately 3 miles northeast of the Marion Township well field. This storage tank was constructed in 1959. City of Howell Water Distribution System: This distribution system contains over 48 miles of water mains. A 20-inch diameter water transmission line runs from the Marion Township well

City of Howell Marion Township Well Field The City’s Marion Township well field is located southwest of the City, south of Norton Road approximately ½ mile west of County Farm Road (WSSN #3250) in Section 4 of Marion Township, Livingston County, Michigan. MHOG’s well field is located in the immediate vicinity and west of the City’s well field at the intersection of Norton Road and Cedar Lake Road (WSSN #4098). Due to the close proximity of the well fields to one another, the development of the WHPA delineations were completed simultaneously using the same computer model. The City’s Marion Township well field currently consists of four Type I municipal drinking water wells (Wells 4, 5, 6 & 8) which are located between 200 to 400 feet apart. The City of
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 4 Howell field locations are presented on Figure 1, Well Locations. The City has two additional wells (Well 7 and an emergency back-up Well 1) at different locations within the City Limits. In 2013, MHOG and the City completed a revised WHPA delineation of their two respective well fields located in Marion Township. The City’s water system consists of 6 wells total, including an emergency back-up well (Well 1). The well field was initially developed in 1958. Wells 4, 5, 6, & 8, are located at the main well field in Section 4 of Marion Township, and Wells 1 and 7 are at a different location within the City of Howell. The four, 1,000-gallon rated production wells (Wells 4, 5, 6, and 8) were installed at a depths ranging from 445 to 460 feet and are open through and obtain water from both the Michigan Formation and the deeper Marshall Sandstone. These four wells have capacity ratings of 1,000-gpm each and Well 7 is rated at 350-gpm. Therefore, the firm capacity of the Howell system is determined to be 3,350-gpm. The results of the WHPA delineation were presented in the July 12, 2013, “Well Head Protection Area Delineation Report for Howell and MHOG Water Supply Fields, Marion Township, Michigan,” prepared by AMEC which was reviewed and approved by the MDEQ. The City of Howell Production Wells 1 and 7: The City’s production well 1, which is an emergency back-up well, is located at the City’s Water Treatment Plant (150 Marion Street) and production well 7 is located approximately 0.2 miles southeast of the water treatment Plant. In 2001, the City completed a wellhead protection area delineation for production well 7, located approximately 2.5 miles east of the City’s main well field. Production well 7 draws its water supply at a rate of approximately 350 gallons per minute from a different aquifer than the Marion Township well field. Production well was installed in 1997 and completed at a depth of 91 feet below grade in a 20-foot thick deposit of sand, clay and gravel. The results of the WHPA delineation were presented in the January 2001, “City of Howell Wellhead Protection Delineation Report for Production Well #7, Howell, Michigan,” prepared by Ayres, Lewis, Norris & May, Inc. which was reviewed and approved by the MDEQ. 1.3 Number of Wells and Capacity As discussed above, the present PWSS for the City consists of two well sites with a total of five water supply wells, and an emergency back-up well as noted on Figure 1. As noted above, the two well sites are identified as the Marion Township well field and the production well 7 well site. An emergency backup well (Well 1) is located at the water treatment plant. These well site locations are shown on Figure 1. Details for the wells are provided below.

gpm: gallons per minute With the exception of production wells 1 and 7, the City’s Marion Township site production wells are installed in bedrock of the Michigan and Marshal Formations. Production wells 1 and 7 are installed in glacial deposits consisting of interbedded sand, gravel and clay deposits. Well 7 was completed 10 feet into bedrock. Copies of the water well and pump records for each of the wells are included in Appendix A, Water Well and Pump Records. Additional details regarding geology, drilling, methods, and well construction information are included on the records in Appendix A. AMEC’s 2013 WHPA delineation report was completed using newly collected data and existing data in the form of a previous October 1996 C.J. Linck & Associates, Inc. (CJL) WHPA delineation report completed for the City of Howell and MHOG Well Fields. The CJL WHPA delineations were completed using pumping capacities that were based on future projections and did not accurately reflect the current pumping configuration of either the Howell or MHOG well fields. The current firm capacity for the Howell and MHOG well fields are 3,350 gpm and 7,000 gpm, respectively. The updated WHPA delineation was completed in accordance with the State of Michigan’s Wellhead Protection Program, at each well field’s current firm capacity to ensure an accurate WHPA delineation was developed and used in the WHPP. The City monitors the water quality of its water supply in accordance with state and federal regulations. Water quality data indicates the water quality meets all applicable criteria for safe water. The City provides its water customers with an annual water report on the water system. A copy of the city of Howell Water Treatment Plant 2012 Water Quality Report is provided in Appendix B, Water Quality Report.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 6 1.4 Mission Statement and Local Goals for Wellhead Program The WHPP reflects the City’s commitment to the protection of its community resources, the public health of its citizens, and the natural environment. This commitment is expressed in the following mission statement: 1.4.1 Mission Statement for the City of Howell Wellhead Protection Program The mission statement for the City of Howell Wellhead Protection Program is as follows:
It is the mission of the City of Howell to continuously protect the local drinking water resource from potential and existing environmental contamination for generations to come.
1.4.2 Goals The City’s primary goal for the wellhead protection program is the formulation and implementation of a set of actions and management practices to protect the water supply from potential sources of contamination. To accomplish the objectives of the Wellhead Protection Program, the City identified the following specific goals for the Wellhead Protection Program: Goal 1: To develop a comprehensive groundwater protection plan that addresses, at a minimum, each of the elements required in a State of Michigan wellhead protection program. Goal 2: To instill a sense of ownership of the well fields and encourage the local community to recognize that wellhead protection is both worthwhile and necessary. Goal 3: Provide the local governmental framework, such as regulations and policies to prevent groundwater contamination from occurring at businesses and industries which store, use or generate quantities of hazardous substances or petroleum substances in the City’s delineated wellhead protection areas. Goal 4: To protect groundwater resources through the development of administrative options. This includes groundwater protection ordinances and site plan review criteria that are consistent with and utilize all of the authority granted by state zoning enabling legislation for cities and townships. Goal 5: To promote inter-governmental and intra-governmental cooperation to assure protection of the water resources within the wellhead protection area. Goal 6: Enhance communication and coordination between local and state agencies on pollution incidents to assure adequate cleanup for natural resource and public health protection. Goal 7: Work with local, state, and federal agencies to minimize the impacts of listed sites of environmental contamination on the City’s groundwater resources.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 7 Goal 8: Site new wells properly to maximize yield and minimize potential contamination. Goal 9: Establish WHPA delineations based on the 10 year capture zone identified in the delineation process based on current well field conditions and when new wells are developed. Goal 10: To gather public support and participation in the development and on-going implementation of the wellhead protection program. Goal 11: Monitor existing and future activities within the WHPA that have been identified as potential sources of contamination. Goal 12: Inform landowners of the potential impacts of abandoned wells on the City’s water supply; complete an inventory of abandoned private wells within the WHPA; and seek funding to work towards properly abandoning any such wells. Goal 13: Seek additional funding from local, state and federal sources to implement the WHPP.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 8 2.0 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES This element of the WHPP is intended to identify individuals responsible for development and implementation of the WHPP and to outline their responsibilities. The process began with the establishment of the Team and establishing the role and responsibilities for each team member. Continued success and implementation of the WHPP will rely on the efforts of the Team; representatives from the City, MHOG, Livingston County, the MDEQ, consultants to the City, business representatives, residents and representatives of neighboring communities. These groups are aware of their roles and responsibilities, and several are represented on the Team. Contact information for the individuals mentioned is provided in Table 1, Wellhead Protection Team Contact List. Given the dynamic nature of wellhead protection, it is important to acknowledge that the roles and responsibilities will change over time and planning for this change is essential. 2.1 Identification of Significant Responsibilities of Carrying Out WHPP Establishing roles and responsibilities requires building partnerships with the community at all levels of government and with other supporting organizations. This section of the WHPP focuses on the identification of all people, local, county, or State agencies, or public water supply agencies that have significant responsibilities for carrying out the WHPP. Team members consist of members representing these various interests to tailor the wellhead protection program to meet the needs of the community. The Team has the responsibility of assisting with the preparation of the WHPP and will have continued responsibility for assuring the WHPP is implemented and updated and in general for carrying out the responsibilities of the local team.

Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 1976 PA 399, as amended The City understands and acknowledges that the WHPP is an ongoing commitment to protecting their sole source of drinking water. The City understands that as part of the process, an amendment to their Utility Ordinance to include the development of a Wellhead Protection Ordinance that will be referenced in the City’s Master Plan/Zoning Ordinance and the City’s Engineering Standards will be necessary. The amendment to the Ordinance would include reference to the entire WHPP, which makes it enforceable under the City’s Utility Ordinance, which includes civil infractions for violations against this ordinance. Referencing the WHPP in the Engineering Design Standards will help to inform and educate proposed developments of the plan. This information will be further discussed in Section 5.0. Marion Township currently has an approved Wellhead Protection and Hazardous Substance Overlay Zone which covers a majority of the City’s delineated WHPA from the Marion Township well field. The purpose and intent of this overlay zone is to provide supplemental development regulations in designated areas so as to permanently protect drinking water sources from long-term contamination in order to protect the public health and safety by minimizing contamination of the aquifers. These regulations contain proactive measures, which apply to certain areas of the community as well as those imposed in the underlying district. The goals of this overlay zone ordinance are: (1) to shape future development and promote best management practices in order to protect municipal well; (2) limit chemicals and contaminants near municipal wells; (3) provide for early detection of contaminants in or near the wellhead protection area; and (4) to have the ability to inspect and catalog possible contaminants held by businesses or industry within the wellhead protection area. It is the intent to accomplish this, as much as possible, by public education and securing public cooperation, and also by the enforcement of the Wellhead Protection and Hazardous Substance Overlay Zone. A copy of this ordinance is provided in Appendix C, Environmental Permit Checklist and Wellhead Protection Ordinance. The City is exploring the development of an Ordinance for the WHPA delineation for CW-7. Furthermore, the City of Howell and MHOG water systems have a written emergency protection agreement which is included in Appendix D, Emergency Water Connection Agreement. This emergency connection agreement provides each participating community with a ready source of emergency drinking water, if necessary. There are currently no other intergovernmental agreements that are part of the WHPP, or memoranda to include in the WHPP at this time.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 13 2.4 Agency, Person and/or Team Responsible for the Periodic Update of the Local Wellhead Protection Program As indicated, the WHPP is a working document and the City will be responsible for updating the plan. As such, it needs to be periodically updated, with the most recent update in September 2013. It is recommended the WHPP be reviewed once per year and updated as needed, with updates being completed at a minimum of at least every three years. A checklist, along with the MDEQ renewal checklist, is provided as Appendix E, Checklist for WHPP Updates. The checklists can be used to guide the user toward portions of the WHPP most likely to require updates and provides a general guideline for the review of portions that need to be updated. It is recommended that any proposed changes to the WHPP be recorded and kept with the WHPP by the City. The WHPP will be revised every three years by the City, with assistance from the Team, Hydrogeologist, and the City Engineer, as needed.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 14 3.0 WELLHEAD PROTECTION AREA DELINEATIONS The state of Michigan defines a WHPA as “the surface and subsurface areas surrounding a water well or well field, which supplies a public water system, and through which contaminants are reasonably likely to move toward and reach the water well or well field within a 10-year time of travel.” The information presented in this section describes the development of WHPA delineations for both the City’s Marion Township well field and production well 7, located within the City limits. 3.1 MDEQ Approved Wellhead Protection Area Delineations The City’s long term commitment to wellhead protection is demonstrated by the completion of wellhead protection area delineations at the two well sites beginning in 1996 and proceeding through the update completed in 2013. The locations of the two well sites and each respective calculated 10-year capture zones are depicted in relation to municipal boundaries on Figure 3, Wellhead Delineation Area and Figure 4, Wellhead Protection Area Zones of Contribution. Figures 3 and 4 also depicts ground surface topography and major surface water bodies. Well site specific diagrams depicting details for each respective well site are included on Figures 3 and 4. AMEC’s 2013 WHPA Delineation Report provide detailed description of the hydrogeology of the area. The studies are maintained on file at the City offices and at MDEQ. It is important to note that although the delineation study defines the 10-year groundwater travel time area, the underlying aquifer does not stop at the delineation lines shown on the diagrams. Therefore, it is the intention of the City to make this information available to the adjacent municipalities; including MHOG, so neighboring groundwater users can become familiar with the results of the delineation studies when planning future groundwater use. This attempt to share the information contained in the delineation is done to avoid the likelihood of possible competitive uses of the same groundwater resources causing groundwater interference problems. The following paragraphs discuss details of each of the well sites and the respective delineations. City of Howell’s Marion Township Well Site MHOG operates a well field 6,500 feet west of the City’s Marion Township well field. Both the MHOG and the City’s Marion Township well fields withdraw groundwater from the same aquifer. In 1996, the City and MHOG completed a joint wellhead protection area delineation of their two respective well fields located in Marion Township. The results of the wellhead protection area delineation were presented in the October 28, 1996, “Delineation of the Wellhead Protection Area for the Two Municipal Well Fields in Marion Township, Howell, Michigan,” prepared by C.J. Linck & Associates, Inc. (CJL) which was reviewed and approved by the MDEQ. In the 1996 CJL study, the City’s production wells were each rated at 1,000 gpm and were installed at depths of about 450 feet. The wells are open through and obtain water from both the
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 15 Michigan Formation and deeper Marshall Sandstone. The CJL WHPA delineations were completed using pumping capacities that were based on future projections and did not accurately reflect the current pumping configuration of either the Howell or MHOG well fields. Subsequent to the wellhead protection area delineation in 1996, the City of Howell has installed a new well, Well 8 in the Marion Township well field. MHOG has also installed four additional production wells in their adjacent well field. Although the initial wellhead delineation was completed using future anticipated withdrawals, the current balance of groundwater withdrawals in the two well fields differs from the withdrawals modeled in 1996. The differences in withdrawals impacted the size and magnitude of the currently utilized delineation area for this well field. The MDEQ agreed that wellhead protection area delineations for the two well fields should be modeled together due to their proximity and withdrawal from the same aquifer(s). During 2013, AMEC completed revised wellhead protection area delineations for the City of Howell’s Marion Township well field and the MHOG well field using current firm capacity pumping rates of 3,350 gpm and 7,000 gpm respectively. The 2013 WHPA delineation was completed in accordance with the State of Michigan’s Wellhead Protection Program, at each well field’s current firm capacity to ensure an accurate WHPA delineation was developed and used in the WHPP. These services were completed by AMEC using updated data and existing data in the form of the 1996 CJL WHPA delineation report. In summary, the confined bedrock aquifer for the MHOG and Howell municipal wells consist of 160-165 feet of limestone and sandstone located beneath one or more shale layers. For the purpose of the 2013 WHPA delineation, the assumed maximum pumping rate for both the MHOG and City of Howell systems are presented below:
City of Howell – The City of Howell water system has 5 wells total, not including a sixth emergency back-up well (Well 1). Wells 4, 5, 6, & 8 located at the main well field in Marion Township with capacity ratings of 1,000-gpm each and Well 7 is at a different location and is rated at 350-gpm. Therefore, the firm capacity of the City of Howell system is determined to be 3,350-gpm. The model was completed with four wells (Wells 4, 5, 6 & 8) assumed to be pumping at 837.5 gpm each (3,350-gpm total).
MHOG – MHOG has six wells (Wells 1 through 6) which are rated at 1,400-gallons per minute (gpm) each. The firm capacity for the MHOG wells consists of having five of the six wells pumping (7,000 gpm total).
The total thickness of permeable material was 160 feet at the City of Howell’s Marion Township well field and 165 feet at the MHOG well field. The transmissivity and storage properties of the well fields were calculated to be 12,700 ft2/day and 1.9 x 10-4, respectively. Using future maximum day demands to set the production rates for the two well fields, the City of Howell 10-year zone of contribution is approximately 10,500-feet long by 8,600-feet wide elongated in a north-south direction, and the MHOG 10-year zone of contribution is approximately 15,500-feet long by 11,300-feet wide elongated in a northwest-southeast direction. The updated 10-year capture zone delineation areas for the City of Howell and MHOG well fields are depicted on Figures 3, 4 and 5.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 16 The WHPA delineations for the City of Howell’s Marion Township well field and MHOG well site was submitted to MDEQ on July 12, 2013 and approved by the MDEQ, although a copy of an approval letter has not been issued at the time this WHPP was prepared. A copy of the 1996 approval letter is included in Appendix F, MDEQ Delineation Approval Letters. Well 7 Site The wellhead protection area delineation for the CW-7 well site was completed in 2001 by Stantec (formerly Ayres, Lewis, Norris & May, Inc.). The CW-7 well site is located approximately 0.2 miles southeast of the water treatment Plant and approximately 2.5 miles east of the City’s main well field. Production well 7 draws its water supply at a rate of approximately 350 gallons per minute from a different aquifer than the Marion Township well field. Production well was installed in 1997 and completed at a depth of 91 feet below grade in a 20-foot thick deposit of sand, clay and gravel. The 10-year capture zone delineation area in relationship to the City features is depicted on Figure 3, 4, and 5. The wellhead protection area for the well 7 site was approved by the MDEQ as noted in a letter dated April 21, 2001. A copy of the approval letter is included in Appendix F.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 17 4.0 CONTAMINANT SOURCE INVENTORY (POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CONTAMINATION)
The goal of this contaminant source inventory which was updated in the Summer of 2013 is to identify and locate existing and potential sources of environmental contamination, within Howell’s delineated wellhead protection areas. The purpose of this assessment is to identify facilities within the wellhead protection areas that may represent a “threat” to the Howell’s PWSS. A comprehensive knowledge of these “threats” is essential in the development and implementation of effective management and public education strategies for the WHPP.
4.1 Contaminant Source Inventory Maps A Figure that displays all identified potential sources of contamination within the delineated wellhead protection areas is included as Figure 5, Known and Potential Contamination Sites. The Figure also provides a listing of the sources. This Figure depicts the well head delineation areas in relation to the following:
Properties of known contamination based on regulatory database listings of released hazardous substances or petroleum products
Properties that are potential sites of contamination based on regulatory database listings documenting the use, storage or disposal of hazardous substances or petroleum products, and
Properties where zoning allows land uses that could include the storage and use of significant quantities of hazardous substances or petroleum products
The potential sources of contamination based on regulatory database listings are discussed in the sections below. 4.2 Identification of Potential Sources of Contamination
In order to identify and locate existing and potential sources of contamination within the City of Howell’s delineated WHPAs, AMEC obtained and reviewed standard environmental records sources as required by ASTM Standard E 1527-05 for properties within both of the City’s delineated WHPAs. The regulatory agency database reports, provided by Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) on June 19, 2013, were reviewed for information pertaining to storage and/or reported releases of hazardous substances and petroleum products within the two delineated wellhead protection areas. The EDR reports are included in Appendix G, EDR Radius Map Reports. The information obtained from EDR was tabulated and then verified by representatives of HRC. HRC maintains the Geographical Information System (GIS) records of zoning and land use for the City. GIS data was also used to identify commercial/industrial properties within the delineated WHPAs that were not identified in the EDR report.
The database search information has been divided into four subcategories: Federal Records, State Records, Tribal Records, and EDR Proprietary Records. All properties that do not have sufficient information for mapping their location are called orphan sites and are listed separately.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 18 Review of the federal, state, tribal, and proprietary records summary provided by EDR indicates that there are 13 sites of environmental concern located within the wellhead delineation areas (refer to Appendix G). In addition to a review of reasonably ascertainable historical environmental regulatory databases, HRC completed the following activities to further identify potential sources of contamination:
Reviewed available county GIS data and zoning maps to identify properties within the delineated wellhead protection areas where potential contaminants may be used and/or handled.
4.3 Comprehensive Listing of all Potential Sources of Contamination Information obtained for known and potential sources of contamination identified in the delineated wellhead protection areas are summarized on Figure 5.

City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 22 5.0 WELLHEAD PROTECTION MANAGEMENT APPROACHES Management strategies specify how actual and potential sources of contamination in the delineated wellhead protection areas will be managed in order to prevent them from reaching the aquifer in which the municipal wells are constructed. The two delineated wellhead protection areas will be considered as special management areas by many supporting organizations. Management strategies should encourage and facilitate desirable uses of the environment and limit undesirable land uses and development practices. Management strategies are unique to each community and are specific to:
The Contaminant Source Inventory
Hydrogeology
Land use
Current and proposed zoning
Enforcement capability
Intangibles, such as public interest and support
Financial resources After considering the background information and community goals, the City has developed a revised wellhead protection management program that is organized in accordance with MDEQ guidance documents and which is described in the following sections. The anticipated timetables for implementing the management program are described in each section. 5.1 Abandoned Well Search and/or Closure Abandoned groundwater wells provide a direct migration conduit for contamination of groundwater resources. The inventory and proper abandonment of private wells located within the wellhead delineation areas that are no longer needed to produce groundwater, will greatly reduce numerous potential sources of contamination. The City conducted a search for abandoned wells within the Marion Township WHPA in 2003. Significant effort was made to identify and locate abandoned wells within the WHPA. It is expected that there may be abandoned wells within the delineated wellhead protection areas that have yet to be identified. However, identifying any abandoned wells will require ongoing effort. The City is considering conducting an additional search for abandoned wells in the in the future. If an additional search is conducted, the City intends to request funding first for locating and secondly for abandoning such wells from the MDEQ through the Wellhead Protection Grant Program The City cannot plug abandoned wells that are privately owned without the owner’s cooperation. The City recognizes owners of abandoned wells are often uninformed about their responsibility
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 23 regarding the wells, or may be unable to pay for proper plugging of their well. As such, the City will make educational resources available for well owners to properly plug their wells and if possible, direct owners to available financial resources. The City will work with organizations such as the MDEQ and the Livingston County Health Department, by contributing to the following goals:
Increasing public awareness to the problem of abandoned wells
Providing educational materials to the public
Assisting in the enforcement of well plugging regulations
Following up on well plugging at replacement well sites
Helping to secure funding, such as grant monies, which can offset the cost of well plugging
The management activities anticipated for this task are as follows: Activity 1: Apply to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Wellhead Protection Program to secure funding to implement the abandoned well program. Implementation of this activity is anticipated for 2017 - 2020. Activity 2: Allocate local financial resources to assist in developing and implementing the program. Implementation of this activity is anticipated for 2017 - 2020. Activity 3: Develop an outreach program to inform landowners of the potential risks to groundwater contamination associated with abandoned water wells. Implementation of this activity is anticipated for 2017 - 2020 and will be ongoing. Activity 4: Inventory the location and ownership of abandoned wells in the delineated wellhead protection areas. Implementation of this activity is anticipated for 2017 - 2020. Activity 5: Implement a well closure program whereby it is anticipated that the costs for well closures are shared by landowners, the state and local government. The implementation of this activity is anticipated for 2018 - 2022. 5.2 Zoning Ordinance Provisions for Wellhead Protection While there are numerous state and federal laws governing environmental protection, the first line of responsibility falls to the local government. Land use planning and zoning is the most appropriate place for local government to institute regulations that will protect groundwater resources. The development of additional environmentally-based site plan review standards to augment existing standards is a prudent approach to groundwater protection in the delineated wellhead protection areas. Site plan review is a process by which proposed developments are examined to
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 24 determine if they comply with zoning and other regulations. In this process, the City Planner and Engineer review the proposals and provide their recommendations to the Planning Commission which has the authority to approve or deny a site plan. The City plans to use enhanced site plan review processes to help prevent land-use activities that can cause groundwater contamination in the City’s CW-7 delineated WHPA. The City of Howell plans to work with Marion Township on the site plan review processes to help prevent land-use activities that can cause groundwater contamination in the City’s Marion Township delineated WHPA. This will be accomplished through enforcement of Marion Township’s Wellhead Protection Overlay District and through the use of an Environmental Checklist which is discussed in Section 5.5 below and is included in Appendix C. As mentioned in Section 2.3, Marion Township currently has an approved Wellhead Protection and Hazardous Substance Overlay Zone which covers a majority of the City’s Marion Township delineated WHPA. Further, as previously discussed, The City plans to amend the existing Utility Ordinance to include a Wellhead Protection Ordinance that will cover the production well locations within the City limits and will be referenced in the City’s Master Plan/Zoning Ordinance and the City’s Engineering Standards. The amendment to the Ordinance will include reference to the entire WHPP, which makes it enforceable under the City’s Utility Ordinance, which includes civil infractions for violations against this ordinance. Referencing the WHPP in the Engineering Design Standards will help to inform and educate proposed developments of the plan. Activity 1: During site plan review process continue to include groundwater protection standards, environmental permits checklist, and hazardous waste reporting form. The implementation of this activity will be ongoing. Activity 2: Promote sustainable development in the City that will meet the needs of residents and visitors while protecting natural resources. The implementation of this activity is anticipated for 2013 - 2014. Activity 3: Designate compatible land uses and standards within the wellhead protection delineation areas. The implementation of this activity is anticipated for 2013 - 2014 and will be ongoing. Activity 4: Develop a Wellhead Protection Ordinance along with references in the City’s Master Plan/Zoning Ordinance and City Engineering Standards to cover the well locations within the City limits. The implementation of this activity is anticipated for 2014 -2015. Activity 5: Work with Marion Township to develop a formal notification process regarding the enforcement of the Township’s Wellhead Protection Ordinance. This will, in turn, strengthen the City of Howell’s commitment to long-term groundwater protection. The implementation of this activity is anticipated for 2014 - 2015 and will be ongoing.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 25 5.3 Facility Inspection or Hazardous Material Survey Program The City will review its existing inspection program and hazardous material survey program utilizing the existing regulatory structure for small businesses utilizing small quantities of hazardous materials or petroleum products. 5.4 Information to Businesses Concerning State and County Requirements Within the delineated WHPAs, businesses that use or generate hazardous waste present the greatest potential threat to contamination of the City’s water supply. It is the intention of this program to minimize potential negative impacts while encouraging a healthy business environment. To this extent, the program will focus on providing protection without greatly increasing the regulations and operation costs through completion of the following activities. Activity 1: Incorporate hazardous materials information from the fire fighters right-to-know inventory program into the City’s wellhead protection program and maintain the update list. The implementation of this activity is anticipated for 2014 - 2016. Activity 2: Develop a voluntary Best Management Practices program for businesses that use or generate hazardous substances. The implementation of this activity is anticipated for 2014 - 2016. Activity 3: Encourage businesses to network for the collection and exchange of information regarding small quantities of hazardous waste. The implementation of this activity is anticipated for 2014 - 2016.
5.5 Environmental Permits Checklist for New Businesses As discussed above, as part of the site plan review procedures, applicants will be required to provide the City with an Environmental Permits Checklist (Checklist). A copy of the Checklist is provided in Appendix C. The Checklist identifies state and county environmental permits and approvals that are potentially involved in common development situations. It is not designed as a comprehensive listing of all necessary permits for every development. The Checklist and other building permit/development materials will be made available. Regulatory concerns that are the focus of the Checklist include:
Water quality including surface water, groundwater, and wetlands
Management of hazardous materials, petroleum products, and wastes
On-site sewage disposal and drinking water wells It is envisioned that the City will apply the Checklist to all new applicants in the CW-7 delineated WHPA and will work with Marion Township in the Marion Township well field delineated WHPA. The advantages of such a process include:
Equal treatment for all landowners
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 26
Protecting groundwater throughout the community as it is the sole drinking water source
Avoiding preparation of a separate map for the zoning ordinance It is important to recognize that incorporation of the Checklist into the site plan review process only affects new development. It is not retroactive and it does not remedy existing conditions. Additionally, land use changes can occur without a site plan review. Such changes could include a process change that results in additional chemical storage. Activity 1: Changes to the format and contents of an Environmental Permits Checklist will continue to be updated as necessary. 5.6 Strategic Monitoring Within the Wellhead Protection Area Monitoring of activities within the WHPA will enable the community to respond to groundwater issues in a timely fashion. Based on the information provided on the Checklist, on a site by site basis, the City will develop strategies to identify changes in land use, such as chemical storage, that could negatively impact groundwater quality. Such strategies may include right-to-know inspections, inspections associated with occupancy permits, or building permit applications. These activities will need to be conducted by the appropriate municipality and the information obtained will need to be shared with the City of Howell. 5.7 Interagency Coordination and Communication A comprehensive wellhead management program will require coordination between the City departments as well as local and state agencies. Activity 1: Provide information on the City’s delineated wellhead protection areas and wellhead protection program to local agencies, and establish protocols for notifying and responding to potential contamination incidents. The implementation of this activity is planned for 2014 - 2016. Activity 2: Contact state agencies responsible for site clean-up to notify them of the wellhead protection area. The implementation of this activity is planned for 2014 - 2016. 5.8 Other Wellhead Protection Program Elements Developed by the Local Agency One component of establishing effective management strategies involves the identification of wellhead protection as a community-planning issue. This can be accomplished by incorporating the basic concepts in the master plan of the communities within the delineated wellhead protection areas. Master plans are the official statement of goals and policies that express a vision concerning the future of the community. The master plan typically includes maps and illustrations that describe the current characteristics of a community, which should be considered in making land-use decisions. A map of each delineated wellhead protection area, laid over
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 27 maps of land use and other important community features, becomes a useful tool for those making future land-use decisions. The incorporation of such information was discussed above in Section 5.2. Planning teams for the City and neighboring municipalities should consider a joint meeting with the local Team to discuss the issues, and develop a process for incorporating wellhead protection concepts into community planning tools. The implementation of this activity is planned for 2014 - 2016. 5.9 Identification of Partnerships or Agreements with County or State Agencies Which Will Help Implement the Local Wellhead Protection Program The City plans to coordinate wellhead protection activities with MHOG which operates a nearby well field. This cooperative effort was previously implemented in 1996 and has been encouraged by the MDEQ. Continued coordination of wellhead protection activities between the City and MHOG will create efficiencies that will result in cost savings for the overall effort. The City also plans to coordinate with Howell Township and Marion Township to provide a larger outreach area for each of the communities.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 28 6.0 CONTINGENCY PLANNING The Contingency Plan for this WHPP has been developed with the City’s Emergency Response Plan (ERP) in mind and is meant to describe protocols for the immediate and long-term protection of the City’s water supply. A contingency plan typically describes protocols for the immediate and long-term protection of the City’s water supply. Water supply emergencies can occur from a widespread variety of causes including power outages and widespread natural disasters. The most probably threat to the PWSS requiring emergency response is from a spill of hazardous materials or petroleum products in one of the delineated wellhead protection areas. The existing ERP is updated regularly and outlines the program for the rapid correction or mitigation of water supply emergencies. It contains an inventory of necessary stand-by personnel, equipment, chemical, and other materials readily available for the correction of water supply problems, including emergency measures in the event of contamination of the municipal wells from on emergency spill within the wellhead protection areas. The means of notification of customers affected by an emergency is also provided, along with a description of the precautions and measures to be taken to protect the health of the affected water customers. The existing ERP also addresses the procedures for notifying the public and internal corrective actions if the City’s water supply is disrupted. This includes templates for press releases and provisions of delivery/pick-up of water from the safe supply if necessary and appropriate. The City of Howell and MHOG water systems have a written emergency water connection agreement which is included in Appendix D. This emergency connection agreement provides each participating community with a ready source of emergency drinking water, if necessary. A copy of the most recent ERP is on file at the water treatment plant. The ERP is a secure document that is not available to the public and cannot be included herein. The state of Michigan does not maintain a copy of this plan, but according to the City, reviews the plan regularly. A summary of the ERP provided by the City of Howell is included as Appendix H, Water System ERP Summary. In the event an emergency response call is received by the City, the Operations Manager of the Howell Water Treatment Plant will be notified immediately.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 29 7.0 PLAN FOR NEW WELL
The City has sufficient well capacity to meet current demands and based on the current project growth rate is not expected to exceed current well capacity in the near future. However, future growth could potentially require additional well capacity. There is also the potential that well capacity could be lost to a catastrophic failure of a well or the detection of contamination in groundwater supplied by a well. As such, a mechanism for incorporating new wells at existing well site locations or well fields into the local wellhead protection has been developed. The potential to expand capacity by the installation of new wells at one of the existing two well sites would be the first option for new wells. The MDEQ requirements for new wells at existing well site locations would be followed, including required testing necessary to increase well site capacity. However, should a new well site location be needed, the MDEQ requirements for siting new wells will be followed. The rules address isolation distances, water quality, and standards for well construction. The intention is to ensure public water wells produce continuous, adequate supplies of water that meet State drinking water standards. The following sections establish criteria for siting new wells in accordance with the MDEQ requirements. The benefits of assessing wellhead protection during new well development are a reduction in development costs and the prevention of development in known or potential contaminant area. 7.1 Identification of the Proposed Location, Depth, and Other Descriptive Information for all New Wells The following methods will be used to select the location and depth of new wells at new well sites: Environmental Factors
Conduct an on-site environmental assessment of the property being considered for a well site to assess any adverse environmental conditions at the site.
Conduct an environmental review of adjacent properties surrounding the proposed well field or well site to evaluate environmental conditions
Review data collected in conjunction with 40 CFR Subpart J (Right-to-Know) program regarding adjacent developed properties. Developments next to the property under consideration for a well field or production well site should be reviewed for potential environmental impacts.
Well site dimensions should be large enough to provide absolute control of a minimum 200 foot radius around the well.
If possible, well fields and supply wells should not be located where known or potential sources of contamination lie within the estimated 10 year time of travel.
Major roadways increase the potential of contamination from hazardous materials spills related to vehicle crashes. Contamination from road salt application may also occur in
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 30
the vicinity of roads. Locating wells adjacent to railways and major roadways will be avoided whenever possible.
An environmental review is required by the MDEQ, including a site visit by MDEQ staff.
Proposed well depths will be based on the geologic setting and upon known or potential contamination in the area.
Production Capabilities
Conduct an aquifer performance test as required by the MDEQ. The test must be conducted by a qualified hydrogeologist, and should meet MDEQ testing specifications. The test will determine the quantity of water available and the effect of long term pumping on the aquifer.
Conduct groundwater testing according to the current MDEQ requirements to demonstrate the water quality meets regulatory requirements.
Community Development Factors
Wellfield and production well sites will have adequate access to allow for operation and maintenance requirements.
Titles, tax records, and other available documentation will be reviewed for proposed well site properties to protect against acquisition of properties that may have environmental concerns.
The location of conservation and other environmentally sensitive properties will be considered during the well siting. Impacts to these areas will be minimized to the extent possible.
The City zoning ordinance will be reviewed to determine allowable land use in the proposed well field or production site and adjacent properties.
The City master plan should be reviewed to assess future land uses in the proposed well field or production site and adjacent properties.
7.2 Proposed Method for Incorporating New Wells into the Wellhead Protection Program New wells will be incorporated into the wellhead protection program during planned Wellhead Protection Plan updates which occur at a minimum every three years provided funding is available. The City will proactively seek state of Michigan Wellhead Grant funding to facilitate plan updates. 7.3 Determination of the Wellhead Protection Area The delineated wellhead protection area of any new production well or well field will be determined using methods acceptable to the MDEQ and consistent with the methods used in
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 31 developing the delineated wellhead protection areas for the two existing well fields. Provided funding is available, any new well site delineations would be completed during the calendar year following well permitting.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 32 8.0 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND OUTREACH/EDUCATION Successful implementation of the City’s WHPP will require active involvement of the people who live and conduct business in the delineated wellhead protection areas. Wellhead protection cannot be completed without establishing strong partnerships and cooperation throughout the community. To improve the quality of the program and improve its chance for success, the City will attempt to involve citizens in the development and implementation of each of the program elements. The local Team which meets regularly includes representation from the City, the public water system operator, the health department, the fire department, an environmental organization, and two members of the public, including the City engineer. The Team also includes representation from MHOG, a neighboring water supply authority and Marion Township. The primary education goal will be to inform the community of the source of the City’s drinking water and the importance of protecting it. The City will also develop strategies to educate local businesses owners and residents who own property in the delineated wellhead protection areas about wellhead protection. 8.1 Description of the Methods Used to Involve and Educate the Public The following sections describe methods that will be used to involve the general public, students, and businesses about the wellhead protection plan. 8.1.1 General Public The methods for educating the general public about the WHPP and associated community wellhead protection activities included:
Informational Brochure - A brochure has been prepared that describes basic information about the WHPP. This brochure will be made available at places such as the City Hall, the City offices, the Livingston County Health Department Office, the Drain Commissioner’s Office, local libraries, the Chamber of Commerce, and other locations, upon request. As needed, the brochure will be updated and at a minimum, the brochure will include information regarding the WHPP, the geographic extent of the delineated wellhead protection areas, and groundwater protection strategies. An initial mailing to be included with water bills will also be considered.
Community Presentations - Complete presentations at City Board and Planning meetings to educate the general public about the WHPP and promote participation in hazardous waste collection days.
Informational Postings – The City is considering posting information regarding wellhead protection at City Hall, on the City website and at the City Library and will promote participation in hazardous waste collection days.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 33
Groundwater Model – The City and MHOG own a groundwater model which can demonstrate the effect of contamination on an aquifer. It is located at the Livingston County Environmental Health Department.
Local Newspapers, Radio Stations, and Cable Access - As appropriate, the local media will be used to distribute and promote wellhead protection activities and promote participation in hazardous waste collection days.
Informational Video – The City is considering development of a short information video for use at local events, such as a free movie in the park, or on the City website.
Local Events - There are occasional opportunities to promote the City’s WHPP. As appropriate, information regarding wellhead protection will be distributed at these activities. One example would be the Balloon Festival. The City will also attempt to highlight water related activities during National Water Quality Awareness Week, held in May of each year.
Local Community Service Groups - As resources allow, several community service organizations (i.e., local environmental organizations, the Boy/Girl Scouts, churches, etc.) and other business and professional organizations (Chamber of Commerce, etc.) will be informed about the City’s WHPP and asked to promote the goals of the WHPP in their community efforts.
Roadside Signage - The City is considering the purchase of new and revised roadside signage informing the general public that they are in delineated well head protection areas.
Consumer Confidence Report and Mailings - The Consumer Confidence Report is an annual report provided to water customers that outlines specific information about the City’s water system and water quality. This report is an excellent tool to highlight the WHPP. All future reports will contain information about the WHPP.
Distributing Information to Building Permit Applicants and Newcomers to the City – Community members are often made aware of programs during the building permit process. As such, information regarding the WHPP will be provided to those applying for a building permit from the City. The City will include information regarding water related issues in materials provided to new City residents.
Social Media – The City is considering using social media platforms such as Facebook® and Twitter® to assist in educating the public and promoting public awareness and participation in wellhead protection activities.
The City and MHOG have already incorporated several of the aforementioned methods of educating the public and promoting public participation with the WHPP. Copies of press releases, informational brochures, pamphlets, and notices of hazardous waste collection days used in the past are included in Appendix I, Public Outreach Information. The City plans to continue using these methods and to develop new strategies in the future.
City of Howell AMEC Project Number 500016.3 Wellhead Protection Plan September 2013 Page 34 8.1.2 Students The City recognizes the need to educate students regarding their water supply system and how to protect it. The City is able to provide a limited amount of support to area schools. The City considers outreach and education of student age community members extremely important to the long-term success of the WHPP. The plan for student outreach and education will involve attempts to:
Complete presentations at schools and teacher organizations to integrate groundwater related issues into curriculum.
Providing demonstrations and materials to students relative to groundwater and its protection.
Encouraging students and teachers to embark upon individual or class projects concerning wellhead protection.
Prepare library displays describing the City’s water system and groundwater protection strategies for use in the school libraries.
The City is committed to providing one presentation per year to the area schools. Additional presentations will be provided upon request. The City will attempt to work with the local school system to design an effective education approach that fits the needs of the schools and emphasizes important aspects of the City water system and its protection. 8.2 Timetables for Outreach and Education Program Implementation Public education, outreach and participation will be initiated in 2013 and will be ongoing as allowed by funding considerations.
