Additional $26.5 million secured for water extension projects in Grayling, Mich.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) Remediation and Redevelopment Division (RRD) will provide an additional funding source of $26.5 million for portions of the Grayling Township Water Extension Projects.
The funding, announced Jan. 7 at the Camp Grayling Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) meeting, was obtained by Gaylord District Remediation and Redevelopment Division staff and is specifically appropriated for the following projects:
- Engineering and construction costs to connect all residents, regardless of PFAS levels, in Area 5 of the Grayling Township water extension project totaling $6.1 million. Area 5 includes areas south of M-72 that cannot be directly attributed to a known PFAS source and is not proven to be linked to the Grayling Army Airfield PFAS plumes.
- Engineering and construction costs to connect all residents, regardless of PFAS levels, in Area 6 of the Grayling Township water extension project totaling $14.3 million. Area 6 includes areas north (upgradient) of the airfield that cannot be attributed to a known PFAS source and is not proven to be linked to the Grayling Army Airfield PFAS plumes.
- Construction cost difference between 2024 estimates and bids received by Grayling Township for Grayling Township water extension project Areas 1 and 2 totaling $6.1 million. Areas 1 and 2 are located directly south and east of the Grayling Army Airfield and include the most significant impacts.
This EGLE RRD funding source adds to a $25 million EGLE Water Infrastructure Funding and Financing Section appropriated grant that made the start of the project possible. This grant was split into 2 funding pieces: $3.6 Million in American Rescue Plan Act funds and $21.4 from bipartisan Infrastructure Law – Emerging Contaminants in Small and Disadvantaged Communities.
Grayling Township expects the water main extension project to begin in February 2025.
