3 From: deq-wrd-qreq To: Steve Nagy Subject: RE: flood or low flow discharge request (ContentID ) Date: Friday, June 26, :42:54 PM This reply is being sent via only. We have estimated the flood frequency discharges requested in your of June 25, 2015 (Process No ), as follows: Tributary to Bogue Creek at Lake Chemung Control Structure, Dam ID 1980, Section 4, T2N, R5E, Genoa Township, Livingston County, has a total drainage area of 4.7 square miles and a contributing drainage area of 4.6 square miles. The design discharge for this dam is the 1% chance (100-year) flood. The 1% and 0.5% chance peak outflows are estimated to be 70 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 80 cfs, respectively. (Watershed Basin No. 32C Shiawassee). Please include a copy of this letter with your inspection report or any subsequent application for permit. These estimates should be confirmed by our office if an application is not submitted within one year. If you have any questions concerning the discharge estimates, please contact Ms. Susan Greiner, Hydrologic Studies and Dam Safety Unit, at , or by at: GreinerS@michigan.gov.

4 MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY LAND AND WATER MANAGEMENT DIVISION DAM INSPECTION REPORT This form is to be used for inspection reports required by Part 307, Inland Lake Levels, for those dams that do not meet the size criteria as defined by Part 315, Dam Safety, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended. Dams six (6) feet or more in height, as defined by Part 315, and impounding five (5) acres or more at the design flood elevation, must meet the inspection report format as outlined in Section of Part 315. A person failing to comply, or falsely representing dam conditions, is guilty of misconduct in office.

16 Memorandum To: Dam Safety Program Water Management Division Michigan Department of Environmental Quality From: G. John Tanner, PE CC: Rod Soos, Dam Operator Livingston County Drain Commissioners Office Date: October 30, 2012 RE: Lake Chemung Legal Lake Level Revision (Dam ID # 1980) On behalf of the Livingston County Drain Commissioners office, we are forwarding you information to initiate the process of correcting/revising the Lake Chemung Legal Lake Level. The actual lake level of the Lake Chemung dam structure became an issue for discussion after the structure was rebuilt in 2010 at the same elevation that it has been for many years. An investigation was conducted and it was determined that the original legal level was established at 3.2 feet below a certain benchmark on a black oak tree which was later erroneously documented as being , when it was actually The attached information contains the history of the proposed legal lake level and the actual lake level elevation as originally constructed and duplicated in The first two Documents are circuit court orders identifying the legal lake level as 3.2 feet below a certain bench mark on a 14 inch diameter black oak adjacent to the outlet. The third and fourth documents are letters from 1954 indicating a problem was recognized within 2 years of the dam construction and the fifth document indicates that it was still an issue in 1956 two years later. The next two pages show the survey work done in 1949 for the construction of the dam. According to the notes, it appears that there were problems with the benchmarks. The next four pages are the dam inspection reports from 1971 & 1975 that indicate on them that there is a discrepancy with the elevation. This note was on every inspection after that until the 1997 inspection which is the last two pages in the attachment. For whatever reason, this discussion was dropped and never indicated on any of the subsequent inspections since As stated above, the legal level is currently identified as The actual weir elevation is This is what it has been since 1952, and based upon the attached documentation, has always been the structure elevation. Also attached are the as-built plans from the recent 2010 dam structure reconstruction.
