RE: Call from MI citizen in Flint to you

Hi Jennifer, Yes, | just spoke with him and he explained the situation. He didn’t mention Mike Prysby but did mention a Pat Cook from DEQ who he has spoken with about the health issues. What analyses is Flint doing? Do they have any analyses for the Phase 2/5 rules? He expressed concern about closed GM plants along the river. Could there be releases? Have you spoken with Richard Benzie? Thanks Mindy Eisenberg Chief, Protection Branch Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, mailcode 4606M Washington, DC 20460 (202) 566-1290 else
