GerryMandering and Drainage
This should be outlawed/banished by The State of Michigan

Then people wonder why the Metro Detroit area has a Flooding Issue
-- nothing is planned on a REGIONAL level due to all the infighting
Attachment 33004
Ohhh let's ADD MORE stormwater to Warren via the I-75 Expansion
--- no one really knows how many Million gallons because its not measured....ha ha lol
Attachment 33005
And that's how things get slipped in without one hand knowing what the other hand is doing on the opposite side of town, since it's across the County Line........nice huh ?
Just happens to be UNfortunate for those poor bastards downstream on the Clinton
- once it crosses the """county line""" , Oakland is free and clear of the problem.
Until it all backs up at that PinchPoint confluence in Warren.......... like it did in 2014

Living at lowest elevation - Chart Datum LakeStClair
Let's say you bought a house - on the waters edge - by Lake St Clair - during a dry year like 2007. Then you get sludged/gooked/ by sewage overflow via ClintonRiver spillage into Harley Ensign Marina area in 2008, and again in 2011 [[really wet year) and then again in 2014. Your sea wall has a matt of nasty goo attached to it -- so your kids can't jump off it into the water. You have to extend your dock - out further and further - to keep boat in "clear" water.
LBrooksP and his stunt of creating the GWK Kuhn Retention Basin in Madison Heights for ""treatment"" of sewage, via a screen, and some bleach -- directly affects you - far away , at your Property in StClair Shores. LBrooksP comes out smelling like a rose to his constituents, why he quite literally, shits on your property. Your property value is affected by something ACROSS the county line, Dequindre Road.
So what do you do - you build a pool for your kids to swim in - while you pay high taxes for water front property - you can't truly use entirely ! LBrooksP smiles, while you got snookered for buying a house during - a dry year.
A quote , direct from LBrooksP himself, as he boasts of his achievment....

Warren - the water wonderland
Plan on getting stuck again , sometime soon, in Warren, with water flowing over the top of your car. Whatever "plan" Warren comes up won't be ready and functioning in the near future. It's going to take awhile. Oakland County doesn't help the situation by maxing out the Red Run already a few times [[plural, multiple). Multiple bridges in Warren have had their decks kissed by rising water of the Red Run the past decade.
I wonder if General Motors Tech Center learned a lesson in 2014, shame on them if they lose precious equipment due to flooding a second time.
The founders wanted it built, on a stream, to make lakes, and ponds, and now that concept will bite them in the rear.
On December 13, 1944, Alfred P. Sloan, Charles Kettering and
the Board of Directors from General Motors chose a 326-acre site
of farmland in Warren, Michigan for the GM Tech Center.
Original designs involved a 22 acre lake that contained four islands
with 5 groups of connected buildings via the firm of Saarinen and Swanson.
Groundbreaking took place on October 23, 1945.

It's all pretty darn flat
People need to learn Geography a little bit better.
Sylvan Lake connects to Cass Lake which connects to Orchard Lake.
IF the stormwater - was not - mixed with SEWAGE - it could easily have been directed into the numerous lakes of Oakland County. It's a matter of N.I.M.B.Y.
Cass Lake is on the main branch of the Clinton River. Upstream from Cass Lake is 243-acre Loon Lake. Cass Lake also connects with 363-acre Elizabeth Lake. Downstream from Cass Lake is the 532-acre Sylvan Lake.
Let's be honest here - LBrooksP just didn't want to build a sewage treatment plant "anywhere" because he would crucified himself for the next election cycle. Count how many cities exist in Eastern Oakland County - then count the number of Waste Water Treatment Plants.

Lake StClair is basically at 574 ft above sea level.
A large portion of Eastern Oakland County is about 700 ft above sea level.
It's basically pretty darn flat, for natural gravity water drainage.
