Oakland County Receives National Recognition Award From The American Council of Engineering Companies

The American Council of Engineering presented the 2002 National Recognition Award to Oakland County for its Septage Unloading Facility. John P. McCulloch, Oakland County Drain Commissioner accepted the award from Win Stebbins, Michigan Department of Transportation, on behalf of the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC).

The Oakland County Septage Unloading Facility will provide a more convenient, controlled, and cost-efficient manner to dispose of septage from residential septic tanks and sediment from municipal catch basins. The facility features easy access for loading and unloading septage, diversion provisions for storm water surface runoff, and watertight construction to prevent septage leaks and groundwater infiltration.

This facility provides Oakland County with a cost-efficient means for the disposal of septage, while enhancing local municipalities' abilities to maintain storm systems.
