Hi Sarah — Senator Horn was wondering if DEQ had any information about the Flint water situation. Is DEQ monitoring the quality of this water? Do you have the authority to test it independently and if yes, have you? Does the department have any authority to step in if there are health concerns? Thanks!

Team: Attached is a memo from Bill Rustem regarding the Flint Water System. Because there are outside departments included on the calendar appointment, this will only be in the Governor’s briefing tonight so we wanted to make sure you had it as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Melanie Ellison Office of Governor Rick Snyder O: 517-373-0504 xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails19_b244_654_654_1
