RE: Complaint on Henry Creek, Lapeer Co.

I think their sediment basin size should be evaluated, they did not build it per plans.

RE: Complaint on Henry Creek, Lapeer Co.

Funny you should ask. | am going to the scanner right now to get inspection and photos scanned for you and the KWA and contractors. Chip found clouded waters from the outfall throughout the drain near the site. -- And this is with a light rain on Monday. My report to them will say they may use PAMs, tacked down mulch blankets, etc. to stop sediment from leaving site. They also need to clean drain pipes of sediment ASAP. You mentioned a while back their sediment basin may not be large enough to handle the storm water. Do you think | should be asking for another one to be installed, or make this one larger? Report and photos to you in a few minutes.

RE: Complaint on Henry Creek, Lapeer Co.

Sending staff out to complainant's address today. And it's raining here so we'll get a real-time look at any sediment potentially leaving the site. The site is not blanketed -- there are 2 projects going on simultaneously : the impoundment which has been going for many months - lots of excavation and pushing dirt around; and the water plant site which just started a month or so ago. All the vegetation has been scraped off many acres. There is big equipment all over the place. | spoke with staff this morning about instructing them to blanket any areas near collection basins and slopes leading to ditches and surface waters. [that they are not driving on]. l agree with you they'll likely have to clean out cement collection pipes. The company did not give staff a lot of details, only that they were working on clean up. I'll know more when staff return to the office this afternoon.

RE: Complaint on Henry Creek, Lapeer Co.

One of my staff just attended a meeting at the site yesterday with contractors and KWA representatives. He mentioned to me the contractor and he talked about cleaning out the drain, but I don't have all the details. | expect to get more information Monday morning. I can't open the photo file. Can you get me the address of the complainant? We'll look at the drain from her property also.

RE: Flint River Inquiry

{ did a little internet searching and found this: In addition, Flint water contains elevated levels of trinalomethane (TTHM), a byproduct of the heavy chlorination of river water to combat bacteria. On January 2, notices were sent to water customers by the city warning that drinking water with excessive amounts of TTHM over “many years” could result in liver, kidney or central nervous system problems as well as an increased risk of cancer. 16 14.pdf) if you google trihalomethane- Trinalomethanes are chemical compounds in which three of the four hydrogen atoms of methane are replaced by halogen atoms. Many trinalomethanes find uses in industry as solvents or refrigerants. Maybe we need to talk with Drinking Water- Mike Prysby? ~Susan Susau Doty Environmental Quality Analyst Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Lansing District Office 525 W, Allegan Drive.
