Proposal Final. pdf
Colin,
Please see attached DUA and related proposal. I'm asking for a reasonably-quick turn-around on this request forde-
identified data, if possible given your schedule. ve pasted Professor Edwards’ comments below:
Yes, | think there is clearly some urgency to the situation,
ADEQ has publicly stated thet your blood lead records, are showing that there is no public health concern for residents
in Flint.
The levels of lead In Mint water, that we ere finding Im our water sampling, are certainly in a range that can cause
childhood lead poisoning.
ndeed, ane child has alrearly, likely been lead poisoned from exposure to high lead in water.
think the fact that you already have other teams working on these records, indicates a high level of nrterest, and
urgency.
Congressional interest in the safety of the water is alsa very hivh, and this will be an important issue in deciding options
‘or treating the water, in the weeks and months ahead.”
Thanks,
Bob
