This voluntary, written permission is given Ruddiman Creek Remediation - Fact Sheet The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and Earth Tech, Inc. are working together to remove impacted sediments in Ruddiman Creek. This Fact Sheet has been completed to inform residents and interested parties of the work slated to occur in the Ruddiman Creek area during 2004. Why are Remedial Activities taking place along Ruddima,1 Creek? Investigations performed in 2000 and 200 I identify areas of the Ruddiman Creek Pond and the Main Branch which exceed site criteria for cadmium, chromium, PCBs, lead, and benzo(a)pyrene. In 2002/2003 a Focused Feasibility Study was conducted to identify appropriate remedial actions for the impacted sediments. Removal was chosen as the final recommendation. Therefore, sediment removal activities are being undertaken to remediate areas identified to be impacted with cadmium, chromium, PCBs, lead, and benzo(a)pyrene at levels exceeding the site criteria. What areas will be affected and when? Ruddiman Pond and portions of the Main Branch ofRuddiman Creek will be affected and are identified as shaded areas on the map below. Removal activities are currently slated to take place in the summer or fall of 2004. What type of access will the contl'Octors need to complete the work? The chosen contractor will likely access Ruddiman Pond and the Main Brach at main road crossings whenever possible. When other access points are required, the specific landowner will be approached for access. How will the work be completed? Work areas will be delineated with orange construction fence prior to the start of work. For their own safety, area residents and the general public will be restricted from all work areas. Sediments will either be mechanically removed, or will be pumped to a holding area. All removed sediments will be disposed of at a licensed landfill. Once the impacted sediments have been removed, samples will be taken to verify that remediation goals have been met. Who do I contact with questio11s? Interested parties may contact either Mike Alexander of the MDEQ at (517) 335-4189 or Tamara Buitendorp of Earth Tech at (616) 940-4415. ·•· • GLEIIISIOC BL'vO, Ruddiman Creek Remediation - Fact Sheet The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and Earth Tech, Inc. are worldng together to remove impacted sediments in Ruddiman Creek.

The proposals were due in late November. The only proposal received was from St. Mary's Catholic Church. They proposed a real-estate "swap", which included the City demolishing the existing City ramp, then swapping the land with St. Mary's for their parking lot on the SW corner of Jefferson and Webster (see attached proposal). It is recommended that the proposal be denied, as the City would be responsible for the expense of demolishing the parking ramp. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None (if the proposal is denied), which the exception that the City will continue to provide minimal maintenance on the facility until it is reused or sold at a later date. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To deny the proposal from St. Mary's Church. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None. Church of the Immaculate Conception 239 West Clay Avenue / Muskegon, Michigan 49440 / (231) 722-2844 / Fax (231) 722-0733 November 24, 2003 Mr. Joel Fitzpatrick Planning and Economic Development Department Muskegon City Hall 933 Terrace Street P.O. Box536 Muskegon, MI 49443 Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick, St. Mary's Catholic Church is pleased to present the Planning and Economic Development Department of the City of Muskegon our proposal for the purchase and redevelopment of the City owned parking ramp. We are eager and interested to participate in the dynamic changes occurring in Downtown Muskegon. We see these changes as an opportunity to continue the long-standing relationship, which exists between St. Mary's and the City of Muskegon. St. Mary's was the first church built in Muskegon in 1856. This church was quickly outgrown and the existing church building on the comer of First and Webster was built in 1886. This was the tallest building in Muskegon at the time. The City of Muskegon along with its citizens purchased the bell for the church and had it installed. The bell not only called the faithful to Mass but also rang out the hourly time and was used in emergencies to alert citizens of a fire or other danger. The inscription on the bell confirms the contribution from the City of Muskegon and it's citizens to St. Mary's. We request the Planning and Economic Development Department look favorably upon our proposal. We feel this proposal will benefit the City of Muskegon, downtown businesses, employees, customers, visitors, St. Mary's Church and parishioners. We realize your department will be reviewing hundreds of proposals regarding the parking ramp. Representatives from St. Mary's are available to meet with you to discuss and explain the proposal. We look forward to hearing from you and we thank you in advance for giving our proposal consideration. Sincerely in Christ, ~v }ks~✓ Rev. James B. Wyse u;,~ Rev. Ernest J. Bernot! Proposal for the Purchase and Redevelopment of the City Owned Parking Ramp I. Offering Price St. Mary's Catholic Church proposes a real-estate swap. We currently have title to the fenced in parking lot on the SW corner of Jefferson and Webster Ave. Several years ago city officials including representatives from the fire department inquired about acquiring the lot in order to build a new fire station. The need was due to the current fire station being located in the Historical district with no ability for expansion. The lot (see attachment "A" for real estate appraisal) was appraised at a value of $350,000 in 1994. Both parcels have approximately the same square footage. For the real-estate swap to be complete, St. Mary's requires the city to tear down the ramp and asphalt pave the lot. II. Proposed Use of the Property In the immediate future, the property would be used as a parking lot. With the downtown area losing the mall and several hundred parking spaces, St. Mary's believes the need for restricted, controlled and approved parking for downtown businesses will be in high demand. The new parking lot would also serve as over flow parking for Sunday Masses, special events at St. Mary's or anywhere else in the downtown area. III. Timetable for Redevelopment Immediately - based on acceptance by the City of Muskegon and approval of the Diocese of Grand Rapids. IV. Consistency of Proposed Development with City Plans The development of a new parking lot in the place of the parking ramp in addition to the City's acquisition of a parcel of property close to other city government buildings provides a consistent development theme for the downtown area. The City will have a more accessible lot to constmct a new fire barn, other facility or sell the lot to another developer. V. Compatibility with Surrounding Properties A new, landscaped parking lot next to St. Mary's on First Street will be very compatible with the surrounding properties. St. Mary's will streetscape the sidewalks and landscape the parking lot to fit any new look created by the new downtown construction or recommendation by the City. The parking lot will benefit local businesses by providing employees with a place to park. VI. Background and Description of Bidder's Development Experience Whereas St. Mary's Church does not have development experience, interested parishioners (members) who have development experience contribute their time and talent for any new acquisition, building or major renovation/restoration project. When the talent pool does not equal the demands of the new acquisition, building or project, St. Mary's out-sources necessary work in order to accomplish the goal. VII. Estimated Number of Jobs to be Created A new parking lot next St. Mary's on First Street will not create any long- term employment or jobs. Short term contractual work necessary to take the parking ramp down, asphalt the lot and install the landscaping/street-scaping will result in other companies keeping current employees working with the potential of new hire being added. On the other hand, if the City accepts this proposal and builds a new municipal building such as a fire station on the Webster lot, the City of Muskegon would need to provide the number of newly created jobs. VIII. Estimated Amount of Investment St. Mary's total investment associated with this proposal includes the cost to landscape, streetscape and light the new parking lot on First Street across from St. Mary's. This range has been estimated to be from $30,000.00 to $40,000.00 depending on any special requirements as directed by the City. Additional fees tied to the investment include any real estate and attorney fees associated with the acceptance of this proposal, which are unknown at this time. City of Muskegon Resolution # 2004-04(e) WHEREAS, Nugent Sand Company located in the City of Norton Shores, excavates, processes and supplies specialty sands to foundries all over the country; and WHEREAS, in the course of extracting sand Nugent has created two water-filled quarries, North Lake and South Lake. The raw sand that is excavated must be washed and chemically treated to produce a material that meets the foundry industry's needs. In this process the clays, silts and natural organic debris are washed out with North Lake Water, then carbonates are removed by the addition of PAMAK, a commercial food grade fatty acid, which allows carbonates to float off the sand. Then pine oil is used to coagulate the floating carbonates so that they can be skimmed off, and WHEREAS, in the past, Nugent Sand Company has been discharging all process wastewaters to the groundwater leaving the well water in the area with increased amounts of iron and manganese, making it undesirable for use by the residents. The MDEQ wants the discharge of wastes to groundwater to cease. To comply with this Nugent is proposing to construct a 36" steel pipe through the barrier dune to Lake Michigan by the bore and jack method. This pipe would be some 700 feet in length and would terminate with an outlet structure and rip-rap in the vicinity of the beach. The structure will be made of tons of rock and riprap, 65' long and 35' ~- ) wide. '-- -~!. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that I, Steve Warmington, Mayor of the City of Muskegon, speaking on behalf of the City Commission and our citizens do hereby declare our strong opposition to the construction of a pipeline through the barrier dune to Lake Michigan for the following reasons: 1' ' I. The construction of the pipeline through the dune creates the potential for collapse of the dune during construction. 2. The volume of water discharge at the outfall is likely to destabilize and increase erosion of the dune bluff, fore dune and beach area. 3. The discharge during the winter months when Lake Michigan freezes that the discharge may flood the beach and cause even more erosion. 4. It will cause destabilization and increase erosion of the dune bluff and severe damages to the beach and the Lake Michigan bottom. 5. The structures and dispersement process created on the Lake Michigan side of the dune will be unsightly and create a serious impediment to the enjoyment and natural beauty of the beach. 6. The concern over the quality and quantity of water discharged to Lake Michigan and the aesthetics of a potential plume in Lake Michigan. ~~~ ___.,---:ff'~- ---<:~JccJr~9sJ?_,,-- .yecC;8{~),~'---- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we do hereby set out hands, and cause the Seal of the City to be affixed this 13 th day of . -·· ---·, ___ Janua~04 . ~ r dL . . \~s'~ Stephe . ,F , ington, Mayor ~r/4i~ 5 111il.af/1Mw Bill Larson, Vice Mtor ~ 11~-vs Chris Carter, Comm'sioner KevmD\Ts,com issioner .
