The presentation reviews the nature of lead and copper occurrence and relationships to water quality and use, and then focuses on sampling strategies to identify and isolate the occurrence of leaded materials in building drinking water system configurations. Presented by Michael R. Schock - EPA's ORD. Mikeis 2 Laborstory. He has spent 30 years of his career accumulation and water quality in domestic plumbing and sampling strategies for metal contamination in building and premise plumbing. He has served on numerous advisory committees and has received more than 20 Publication and research awards from EPA, New England ‘Water Works Association, and the American Wester Works Association, induding the 2011 A.P. Black Research Award for lifetime achievement. Mike has 2 B.S. in Geology from Wright State anda M.S. in Geology from Michigan State. Tool for identifying drinking water system and plumbing products that meet the lead free requirement of the Safe Drinking Water Act in 2034, the definition of lead free in Section 1417 of the Safe Drinking ‘Water Act (SOWA) wes changed from not more than 8% lead content to not more than 2 weighted average of 0.25% lead with respect to the wetted surfaces of pipes, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings, and plumbing fixtures. Although there is no mandatory federal requirement for lead free product testing or thir¢- party certificstion under the SOWA, as of December 2015, consumers can increase their level of confidence by purchasing products that have been certified as meeting the SOWA jead free requirement. Because thereis nota be difficult to determine if a product is lead free. This presentation will water system and plumbing products that have undergone third-party certification testing. Who should attend? State primacy agencies, local governments, utilities, tribal communities, technical assistance providers, issues facing community water systems and solutions to help solve them.
