Q. Was FDD adopted by the state?

A. The State of Michigan does not have a specific requirement that communities must perform FDDs. FDD removals have been accepted by the State as a means of source removal for sanitary sewer overflows. Ann Arbor’s Administrative Consent Order (ACO) with the State of Michigan required that the City perform 799 FDDs to control sanitary sewer overflows.

The State requires that participants in the State Revolving Fund (SRF) low-interest loan program implement the most cost-effective alternatives. Cost-effectiveness varies by systems and depends on the feasibility of all options including source removal, storage and transport and treatment.
