Eric Brown

Erik — thank you for your time and assistance in this important matter. Attached, please find the questions we would like to discuss during tomorrow’s call. These questions are only intended to facilitate our discussion; we are not seeking written responses. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b38_6783_6976_138 Questions for Michigan Officials Federal Funding e The Administration recently announced that it would provide $82 million in funding to the State of Michigan to help deal with the situation in Flint. It is our understanding that the money is the State’s allotment of FY 2016 Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund dollars. ° Of the $82 million, how much is the State planning to allot to Flint specifically? ° What is the timeframe under which Flint’s allotment can be disbursed? e Upon the President’s emergency declaration for Flint, FEMA made $5 million available for immediate use for items like potable water and testing kits. What is the timeframe for disbursing these federal dollars? e What is the difference in federal funding that could be made available under the disaster declaration that Michigan sought, and the emergency declaration that the Obama Administration ultimately issued? e Does the State have an accurate assessment of how much federal assistance would be needed within the next 12 months and for what purpose (please see below)? State Funding e Does the State have any funds available from its FY 2015 allotment from the State Revolving Fund that it can dedicate to Flint? e How much funding does the State of Michigan have available over the next 12 months to work on fixing this problem? e Isit accurate that to-date, Michigan has provided $37.3 million for Flint relief? fe) Last week the Governor signed a supplemental bill to provide $28 million to Flint to supply free bottled water, faucet filters, and testing kits; place nurses in local schools for monitoring purposes; and enhance WIC services. What is the timeframe for disbursing these funds? fe) In Oct. 2015, the State provided $9.3 million to move Flint back to Detroit’s water system, test drinking water, and provide other services. Has this funding already been disbursed? e There is currently a measure pending in Michigan that would provide another $30 million in order to credit citizens’ water/sewer bills. Is this expected to pass? Is this $30 million entirely the state’s money or is it tied to a federal program in some way? xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b38_6783_6976_139 Focus of Needed Work Is the State’s goal to restore the corrosion control system or to replace the lead pipe infrastructure? How much actual, on the ground work can be completed in Flint in the next 12 months and what is the cost to complete that work? Ata briefing for Congressional staff yesterday, the combined federal agencies (HHS, EPA, CDC, USDA, and OASH) said the key issue right now is to restore the corrosion control system. Does the State agree with this assessment? What is the most accurate estimate for the cost to fix the corrosion control system? Also at that briefing, EPA relayed a non-federal estimate that replacing Flint’s lead service lines would cost about $75 million. ° EPA said Flint contains 14,000 to 15,000 lead service lines (combined public/private figure) and that it would take $3000 to $5000 per line to replace. Does the State agree with this assessment? ° Does the State have a breakdown of the number of public lines versus private lines? What is the most accurate estimate for the cost to fix the water infrastructure in Flint and what type of work is required to fix the water infrastructure? Does this include replacing both public and private pipes? xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b38_6783_6976_140 Robert, Carta M. (T reasury) .

Rick Snyder today issued an executive order creating the Michigan Pipeline Safety Advisory Board and announced an agreement with Enbridge Energy Co. to further preserve and protect Michigan’s environment including our lakes, rivers and other world-class resources. Executive Order 2015-12 establishes the 15-member board to ensure safety, upkeep and transparency of issues related to the state’s network of pipelines. It will also be charged with advising state agencies on matters related to pipeline routing, construction, operation, and maintenance. The board, consisting of industry, environmental and conservation representatives, cabinet members and members of the public was one of 13 recommendations included in the Michigan Petroleum Pipaline Task Force’s July report and will be housed in the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. “While pipelines are an efficient way to deliver necessary energy to power our homes, our communities and our economy, pipeline spills also have negatively impacted our natural resources in the past,” Snyder said. “We remain fully committed to protecting our Great Lakes and natural resources, and this board will be charged with continuing the important work of safeguarding our environment while ensuring safe, affordable and reliable energy.” Click above image to view Snyder's video message on the Pipeline Safety Advisory Board In addition, the state and Enbridge Energy Co. today signed an aareement preventing the future passage of heavy crude oil through Enbridge’s Line 5 pipelines running under the Straits of Mackinac.

Very he Sent from my mobile device ~ On Aug Ipful, thanks 27, 2015, at 3:14 PM, Wurfel, Brad (DEQ) <[email protected]> wrote: Don’t know what it is, but | know what it’s not. The key to lead and copper in drinking water is that it's not in the source water, or even the transmission lines (most of which are cast iron). It's in the premise plumbing (people’s homes). The reason statute requires operators of large systems to test for lead & copper in homes when they switch sources is because large systems inevitably means old neighborhoods, where there's likely a lead connection line to the homes or lead pipes in the premise plumbing (or lead in the solder of copper lines installed before the mid-1990s), and what we're checking for is whether the Ph of the new source water is mobilizing lead in the pipes. ironically, the leading fix for it is adding phosphate (ironic because we're fighting to reduce phosphorus in surface water all over the state, but particularly in the Western Lake Erie Basin). The phosphate smooths the water and reduces the interaction. In accordance with statute, we sent Flint a letter early this month saying they passed muster on the two required rounds of lead and copper tests, but we still want them to ‘optimize’ their system (phosphates). By law, they now have 18 months to create an optimization plan, and something like two years thereafter to implement that plan. But they’re going to switch sources again in June / July of next year, which starts the whole process over again. Such is the wisdom and flexibility of the federal statute ... This person is the one who had EPA Jead specialist come to her home and do tests, then released an unvetted draft of his report (hat EPA apologized to us profusely for) to the resident, who shared it with the ACLU, who promptly used it to continue raising hell with the locals. Bottom line is that folks in Flint are upset — because they pay a ton for water and many of them don’t trust the water they're getting — and they're confused, in no small part because various groups have worked hard at keeping them confused and upset. We get it. The state is trying like mad get the word out that we’re working on every aspect of the health safety of local water that we can manage, and the system needs a lot of work i xxxEND_PAGE:deq15_b267_0983_1021_27 (because the city didn’t do any discernable maintenance for nearly 40 years and the transmission lines are falling apart), but it’s been rough sledding with a steady parade of community groups keeping Bui VOne hopped-up and misinformed. Tell me what | can do to help you with the Peters’ meeting, or anything else. b

So this resident’s lead levels are much higher than the 90" percentile mentioned in the previous email. What is the discrepancy?
