Sunnydale Relief Sewer outfall location in Golf Ball Bay
St. Clair Shores
Summary
Residents packed the chamber to fight a $13.75 million stormwater outfall planned for the shallow, sandy Wildwood/Golf Ball Bay, citing swimming, wildlife, buried contamination, and property values. The council tabled the award to July 20 and promised a town hall — the last possible date under EGLE's funding deadline.

Impact analysis
The full award is $13,751,396.96, funded largely through a $23 million state revolving fund loan acceptance.
If built, the project would reduce basement backups and cut combined sewer overflows into Lake St. Clair citywide.
Wildwood Bay area residents fear degraded water quality, harmed wildlife, and lower lakefront property values if the bay becomes an outfall.
