7 - WUP Health Dept correspondences.pdf

This document is a collection of correspondence and technical documents related to water supply and well improvements for McLain State Park, involving the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department, U.P. Engineers & Architects, and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The project involves upgrading and replacing water wells and infrastructure across multiple areas of the park, including the West Day Use Area, East Campground, and Headquarters/Maintenance Area. The scope of work includes removing existing underground hydropneumatic tanks and pumps, abandoning older wells, constructing new wells with testing and installation of pumps, drop pipes, controls, and appurtenances, and building new well houses with updated systems.

The project includes detailed technical calculations for water demand, well depths, static head, and pump capacities across different park locations. Permit application fees totaling $665 were paid to the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department for Type 2 and Type 3 well permits. The proposed wells are designed to meet modern standards, with pump sizes and capacities based on estimated well capacities and expected demand. The documentation includes water quality survey results, pump test data, and calculation sheets demonstrating compliance with Michigan drinking water standards and MDEQ (Michigan Department of Environmental Quality) regulations.
