New release on blood lead level testing in Flint.

Good afternoon Governor and team, Just wanted to give you a heads up about a release DHHS is issuing today with updated blood lead level testing. About 500 more people have been tested since the last release, and eight more people had elevated levels. The format and information is similar to the previous release. DHHS plans to issue such updates every three weeks for the time being to show transparency, remind people that testing is available if they are concerned, and that free filters and replacement cartridges are available. I’ve pasted the release below. Have a nice weekend, Dave December 11, 2015 MDHHS releases latest round of Flint blood lead level data LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services today issued its newest summary report on lead testing in Flint. According to preliminary data, 39 of 1,836 adults and children tested had elevated blood lead levels since Oct. 1. “As testing continues, our focus remains on helping families reduce all potential exposures to lead,” said Dr. Eden Wells, MDHHS chief medical executive. “We are working closely with the Genesee County Health Department to provide information and offer tools in the community, and encourage families to explore the resources that are available to them.” Both capillary and venous blood tests are included in the report, and people who have had multiple tests are counted only once. Tests and their results cover the time since the state action plan was put in place on Oct. 2, and capture the number of elevated blood lead levels greater than 5 micrograms per deciliter. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0064_0122_0123_1 MDHHS is working closely with local partners to offer resources and distribute important lead testing and prevention information. Additional state funding has allowed for Genesee County Health Department (GCHD) nurses to work with families when an elevated blood lead level is detected. These families can also choose to have the nurse coordinate an environmental health investigation in their home to identify lead exposures, which could be lead from paint, soil, plumbing, and other sources. To support these efforts, the state is coordinating with its Medicaid health plans and provider communities on enhanced screening and testing. In addition to mandated testing at ages one and two for the Medicaid population, MDHHS has recommended blood lead testing for any child younger than six years of age in Flint who has not previously been tested. The state, in coordination with GCHD, developed and issued a Health Alert Network (HAN) notification for local providers to help ensure consistent messaging and protocols among primary care providers. Free water filters and replacement cartridges are still available to Flint residents. For a full list of loeations and hours of distribution, or to view the full blood lead level report, visit The summary will be updated as more data becomes available. To help residents properly install water filters, and to demonstrate how to replace tite original when it expires, MDHHS has crestetl an instructional video on its ¥rnz7y HHT Dave Murray Press Secretary | Executive Office of Governor Rick Snyder xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0064_0122_0123_2

Updated draft of Flint Water Task Force response

Good morning, team. Here’s a new draft of the Flint Task Force response letter incorporating suggestions from Rich. Please let me know if there additional changes | should make, or if you think there are points that need to be included. Our goals is to have a letter that can be shared later today. Thank you! Dave Flint Water Advisory Task Force Members, Thank you for your correspondence on Dec. 7, and, most importantly, for your hard work to promote public health and protect our residents as we move forward. Your efforts are both respected and appreciated. As acknowledged in your letter, we have taken many steps to address the challenges in Flint as they relate to reducing lead exposure. | am pleased to see the progress since October, and recognize there is more work that must be done to ensure that this progress continues. At the state level, there has been a confluence of efforts between Michigan Departments of Environmental Quality and Health and Human Services to coordinate with the Genesee County Health Department, local schools, and our partners in the non-profit community. These partners are making progress, and we know we can always strive to improve practices and communication for continual improvement. You make a solid suggestion about establishing a person who is independent of any one of the involved state agencies or organizations to serve as the point person to coordinate the ongoing work. | am recommending that Harvey Hollins, director of the Office of Urban Initiatives, carry out this effort. Harvey is well-versed in the issue and the challenges faced by our cities and will be effective in this role. He will be assisted by senior members of our executive team to ensure you will have the continued support and cooperation that you need. We also have retained Chris DeWitt, a veteran communications specialist, to strengthen community outreach efforts to make sure residents have access to the information they need. | also support your suggestion of a dashboard to make information about our work and progress more accessible to the Flint community. These are critical measures that can be used as we look the challenges and progress in Flint, but also can be a part of efforts moving forward in other areas of our state. It’s important that people have confidence that we are working to address any problems and will take the necessary actions to improve interaction among city, state and federal agencies. We also will continue to work with the medical community to consider how we can work together on wraparound needs of children who might experience health problems. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0580_1869_1870_1 People in Flint and across our state deserve safe, clean water. | want them to be confident that the water coming out of their tap is safe for their families. And | want them to trust that their government — at all levels — is working effectively to protect them. | thank you again for investing your time and expertise to this vitally important effort. Regards, xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0580_1869_1870_2

Please review: Flint Water Task Force release

Team, Here’s the release announcing the Flint Water Task Force. Members met this morning and had considerable input in this. Our plan is to issue the release around 2:30 p.m. Please let me know if you have suggested changes. Thank you! Dave Gov. Rick Snyder announces Flint Water Task Force to review state, federal and municipal actions, offer recommendations Experts in public health, water management, environmental protection to focus on steps to protect residents LANSING, Mich. — Gov. Rick Snyder today announced the creation of an independent advisory task force charged with reviewing actions regarding water use and testing in Flint and offer recommendations for future guidelines to protect the health and safety of all state residents. Task force members include experts in public health and medicine, water management, and environmental protection from both sides of the aisle, and will be co-chaired by Ken Sikkema of Public Sector Consultants and Chris Kolb, of the Michigan Environmental Council. Also serving will be Dr. Matthew Davis of the University of Michigan Health System, Eric Rothstein, of the Galardi Rothstein Group and Dr. Lawrence Reynolds of Mott Children’s Health Center in Flint. “Transitioning back to the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department-Great Lakes Water Authority is a good first step to protecting public health in Flint, but it’s not the last step,” Snyder said. “Bringing in outside experts to evaluate our actions and help monitor and advise on potential changes to law, procedures and practices will be key to continuing work on the comprehensive action plan and ensuring safe drinking water for all the residents in Flint and all of Michigan.” Snyder said the administration will fully cooperate with task force members, saying he wants an unbiased report focusing on steps taken in the past and recommendations that could improve practices to ensure all residents have access to safe, clean water. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0053_0098_0100_1 Ken Sikkema is a senior policy fellow at Public Sector Consultants, where he specializes in public finance, environment, and energy policy. Prior to joining the firm, Sikkema served in both the Michigan House and Senate, culminating with four years as Senate majority leader. He has also served as both an adjunct and visiting professor at Grand Valley State University. Chris Kolb is president of the Michigan Environmental Council, a statewide coalition of 70 environmental, public health and faith-based nonprofit groups. Before joining the MEC, Kolb represented Ann Arbor in the state House for six years and served six years on the Ann Arbor City Council. He has been president of the MEC for six years. Matthew Davis, M.D., M.A.P.P., is professor of pediatrics and internal medicine at the University of Michigan Health System and professor of public policy at the Gerald R. Ford School at the University of Michigan, having joined the faculty in 2000. Davis also is a professor of health management and policy at the School of Public Health. He previously served as the chief medical executive of the Michigan Department of Community Health/Department of Health and Human Services. Eric Rothstein is a national water issues consultant and principal at the Galardi Rothstein Group. He served as an independent advisor on the creation of the Great Lakes Water Authority. Rothstein also has served as Jefferson County, Alabama’s rate consultant and municipal adviser for litigation related to the county’s bankruptcy and issuance of $1.7 billion in sewer warrants and led strategic financial planning for the City of Atlanta’s Department of Watershed Management. He has more than 30 years of experience in water, wastewater and stormwater utility finance and rate-making assessments. Lawrence Reynolds, M.D., is a pediatrician in Flint who serves as president of the Mott Children’s Health Center. He received his medical degree from Howard University College of Medicine and has been in practice for 36 years. He has served as president of the Genesee County Medical Society and the Michigan Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. He has been honored for his humanitarian and advocacy efforts on behalf of children from the Community Foundation of Greater Flint. Snyder has said reconnecting with the authority is a critical step to resolving water quality issues and addressing related health concerns. It will not immediately resolve the city’s problem with lead service lines or aging infrastructure. It will take time for pipes in Flint to become coated with the phosphate corrosion control. To best protect public health, state and local authorities will continue to carry out steps outlined on Oct. 2 ina comprehensive action plan, including continued testing, the use of faucet filters and providing residents with accurate information about steps to eliminate lead exposure. The Michigan Departments of Environmental Quality and Health and Human Services are continuing to provide free water filters, free lead testing through the state laboratory for Flint water customers, and hiring additional staff to conduct health exposure monitoring for lead in drinking water.

Latest on Flint water

Here’s what Fonger published yesterday. While the reporter declined to use the full page statement | sent him, he apparently read it to the Virginia tech researcher, who didn’t like my statement to the Journal and has sent a FOIA to the department for any and all communications. hilo /Awww orilive com/newsAlintindex ssffed1S/oo/new festing shows flint water. himbfincart m-rpt- Brad Wurfel Communications Director Michigan Department of Environmental Quality 517-284-6713 517-230-8006 cell Lead leaches into 'very corrosive’ Flint drinking water, researchers say xxxEND_PAGE:deq24_b648_1678_1685_1 xxxEND_PAGE:deq24_b648_1678_1685_2 xxxEND_PAGE:deq24_b648_1678_1685_3 HY Jgke May | fmayegrniive.cam Pyhet Eyal Reddit Ernaitl FLINT WATER AGl Stories xxxEND_PAGE:deq24_b648_1678_1685_4 FLINT, Mi -- Flint drinking water is “very corrosive” and “causing lead contamination in homes," La 5 o ped 2 researchers from Virginia Tech University reported online Wednesday, Sept. 2. "On a scientific basis, Flint River water leaches more lead from plumbing than does Detroit water," the report concludes. "This is creating a public health threat in some Flint homes that have lead pipe or lead solder.” The Virginia Tech report comes as students there, overseen by Professor Mare Edwards, are in the final days of testing water collected from 300 sample kits distributed to Flint residents. xxxEND_PAGE:deq24_b648_1678_1685_5 On Monday, Aug. 31, the researchers reported 42 percent of 120 initial samples from Flint had lead levels that were more than 5 parts per billion, “which suggests a serious lead-in-water problem, according to our experience and criteria.” Virginia Tech was initially contacted by a Flint resident who had concerns about lead in Flint water. it has been working with citizen groups in Flt such as Water You Fighting For. Twenty percent of the first samples also exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency lead action Hmit of 15 ppb, the report said. The EPA requires water systems like Flint's to collect tap samples from sites that are more likely to 1ave plumbing materials containing lead. Ifmore than 10 percent of samples exceed 15 pph, then water systems are required to take action, inchiding steps to optimize corrosion control treatment. Lead is a toxic metal that was used for many years in products found in and around homes, according o EPA. "Even at low levels, lead may cause a range of health effects, including behavioral problems and earning disabilities,” EPA's website says. “Children 6 years old and under are most at risk because this is when the brain is developing." The Virginia Tech report on Flint River water comes two days alter representatives of three organizations delivered more than 26,000 online petition signatures to Mayor Dayne Walling, demanding the city end its use of the Flint River and reconnect the city to the Detroit water syetem. The petition language says high lead levels are one reason the city should no longer use the river as a drinking water source. Walling and Department of Public Works Director Howard Croft issued statements in response to questions about lead in Flint water Wednesday after Croft declined to discuss the issue in a news conference Tuesday. Flint spokesman Jason Lorenz said the two would not comment further Wednesday. "The city of Flint is currently in compliance with the safety mandates of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and continues to work with them to stay in compliance with all safety and quality standards,” Croft's statement said. "We have also been in constant contact with Virginia Tech, sharing information as it becomes available.” xxxEND_PAGE:deq24_b648_1678_1685_6 Walling, who has supported Flint's continued use of the Flint River as a drinking water source, said, “Lead can be a concern in communities with older public and private infrastructure. "The city of Flint has offered free and independent testing to residents since spring, and I encourage people to use this service if they have questions," Walling's statement said. Edwards, a professor of civil and environmental engineering, said the elevated lead levels he has seen in Flint tap water are tied to a corrasive water source that contains about eight times more chloride than Detroit water does. "Chloride is generally considered to be very corrosive to iron. For instance, chloride present in road salts applied in the winter causes iron in cars and bridges to rust,” the Virginia Tech team's website says. "This could be a huge public health problem. ... The Flint water fust ate the pipe up,” Edwards said of the testing he has overseen so far. In the testing, researchers took copper pipe pieces icined with lead solder inside them, according to the report, which says lead solder is probably present in plumbing systems of many Flint homes built before 1986. Lead solder-copper pipe test pieces were placed in containers filled with water from Detroit and Flint in the experiment, according to the report. "Tf it were me, I would not be using (Flint River water) for cooking or drinking unless I had it tested for lead," said Edwards, who previously mounted a six-year campaign that succeeded in forcing the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to admit it had misled the public about the risk of lead in the Washington, D.C., area's drinking water, according to The Washington Post. "Bottled or filtered water (is what I would use for) children under 6 years old or if l was pregnani,” he Brad Wurfel, communications director for the state Department of Environmental Quality, said the preliminary water testing results from Virginia Tech don't jibe with two separate rounds of testing during the past vear by the city. That testing indicated "Flint drinking water meets state and federal safe drinking water standards,” Wurfel said. Wurtel said lead levels detected in testing are not the result of water containing lead when it leaves Fiint's treatment plant. But he said the state "has requested Flint optimize its water treatment to further limit exposure to lead from plumbing in homes.” xxxEND_PAGE:deq24_b648_1678_1685_7 The concerns about lead are the latest challenge for the Flint water system since the city started using the Flint River te replace Lake Huron water sold by the city of Detroit in April 2014. Since the switch, the city has been plagued by issues such as water main breaks and boil water advisories because of bacteria and has been in violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act because of high levels of total trihalomethanes (TTHM), a byproduct of chlorinating river water. The Rev. Alien Overton, who hand-delivered petitions to Walling on Monday, asking that city officials reconnect the Flint water system to Detroit, said Wednesday that the Virginia Tech experiment is more evidence Flint is not using the best quality of water available. "We have a major health issue here, (and) they are not being honest with the citizens of Flint," Overion said. City Council President Josh Freeman said the city has been willing to provide customers with free water testing and has taken action — such as installing a new $1.6 million filtration system — to address problems such as TTHM. Councilman Eric Mays said, as more water testing is done, it becomes clearer that Flint should be negotiating with Detroit for a new, short-term water contract as work continues on the Karegnondi Water Authority pipeline. The pipeline, a partnership between the city and Genesee County, is expected to bring untreated Lake Huron water to Flint at some point in 2016. "They are trying to make the water safe by trial and error,” said Mays, who called Flint’s water situation "a disgrace.” xxxEND_PAGE:deq24_b648_1678_1685_8

FW: Flint Lead Monitoring Letter

Heads up, here is a communication headed for Flint regarding lead & copper testing of their system and the need for ‘optimizing’ their treatment. Good News: Based on two rounds of testing, they pass inspection for lead and copper. Next News (there’s no bad news here): They still need to provide a plan to optimize their treatment. This usually means adding phosphate to the water to minimize corrosion. If you have questions, I’m happy to address them.

Muskegon Heights poised for Flint-esque water play ... heads up

hito /Aext 7online. cam/20 1 customers-next-month/ ercent-ofjis-water- What happens when Muskegon Hts. loses 70 percent of its water customers next month? MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich. — From weeks of fs & 8 to water customers telling FOX 17 they were being : zet| by hundreds or even thousands of dollars more on their bills than they believed they should’ ve been, the water issues in Muskegon Heights have been well documented in recent months. But there could be an even bigger issue looming in just weeks. xxxEND_PAGE:deq14_b0003_0003_0005_1 On April 15, water customers tn Norton Shores and Fruitport Township will stop getting their water from the Muskegon Heights water system, representing about 70 percent of the city’s wholesale customers. The two communities apparently couldn’t come to an agreement on new contract terms or rates. Under a new agreement, as part of the newly created West Michigan Regional Water Authority, both communities will receive water from the city of Muskegon’s water filtration plant. Construction in the Norton Shores and Fruitport area has already begun in preparation for the switch over, a decision made in 2012, with new water pipes being installed under streets and a new water tower constructed. In Muskegon Heights, it remains unclear how the city will recoup the loss of three quarters of its water customers. After Monday night’s city council meeting, several council members and the interim city manager directed all questions regarding a transition plan to the Mayor Darrell Paige. Paige, however, did not attend Monday night’s meeting. When asked why widespread discussions weren’t already taking place on what the city will do, council member Eddie Jenkins said the discussions “should’ ve happened months ago.” “Lalways bring it up: ‘What’s our next plan, what are we going to do?” he said. “There’s no one else left for us to contract out to, because Muskegon has the last of our contracts with Norton Shores and Fruitport. So, now it’s, like, how are we going to sustain ourselves?” xxxEND_PAGE:deq14_b0003_0003_0005_2 FOX 17 made several phone calls and went to the mayor’s home seeking comment. He later returned our calls Monday evening but only said details on the transition plan would not be made public until after the changeover takes place. “There is a plan, but we are not going to divulge that right now,” he said over the phone, adding there could be a possibility of a rate increase, but he wouldn’t be specific. “We're not divulging anything until it’s done and gone and we know we have our calculations correct.” When asked whether the city’s water department could be sustainable after losing 70 percent of its customers, Paige said that while it would be a tough fit, he feels confident they’ ve implemented a plan to help the city be successful. Paige would not provide an exact date for when the city would reveal any details of the transition plan.

Flint water almost like 'gas chambers for Jews,' says Sharpton group activist Ron Fonger | [email protected] By Ron Fonger | [email protected] The Flint Journal on March 03, 2015 at 12:54 PM, updated March 03, 2015 at 2:10 PM The Rev. Charles Williams II speaks during a press conference for the National Action Network's coordinated response to the Trayvon Martin verdict in this: 2013: Flint Journal file photo. Flint Journal file: photo FLINT -- The president of the Michigan chapter of Al Sharpton's National Action Network says Flint water is "almost as bad as gas chambers for Jews." The Rev. Charles Williams II, speaking at a news conference and water giveaway in Flint on Monday, March 3, made the comment, which appeared on television station WEYI-TV. The city of Flint issued a statement saying officials are "extremely disappointed" by the pastor's remarks, including his comparison of consumption of Flint's water to "genocide." "We are extremely disappointed in Rev. Charles Williams’ comments but certainly understand -- and share -- his frustration,” the city statement says. "With that said, we find Rev. Williams' accusations are a gross misrepresentation of the Flint water condition and a wholly inappropriate comparison." When contacted by The Flint Journal-MLive for comment today, Williams referred a reporter to his Twitter page. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b1548_3844_3846_1 Steven C. Low, executive director of the Flint Jewish Federation, called Williams' comments "an inappropriate invocation of the Holocaust" that "diminishes what survivors went through." "Drawing such a comparison doesn't shed any light on the water problems," said Low, who called on Williams to apologize for his remarks. The news conference Williams spoke at is one of several that have been held since Flint notified customers in January that the city is in violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act because of the level of total trihalomethanes (TTHM) in water tested during the last 10 months. Outspoken residents have since protested the price, color, odor and overall quality of the water. City officials have said Flint water is safe for the vast majority of the people to drink but warned in January notices that TTHM can pose increased health risks for those with a compromised immune system, the elderly, pregnant women and infants. Testing during the last two months has shown the city is meeting all health and safety standards for water, and a consultant is expected to deliver a report this week, detailing recommendations for improving the quality of drinking water here. Flint's water problems, including multiple boil water advisories last summer, bloomed after the city began using the Flint River as its drinking water source in April. Prior to that switch, the city had used Lake Huron water, pre-treated and purchased from the city of Detroit. The Flint statement says "some people may still have issues with discoloration, or do not like the taste of the (higher) mineral content river water (but) these do not amount to a safety issue." Williams responded to a request for comment with a text message to The Journal, saying "quote my Twitter feed." In a Twitter message, the pastor wrote, "I (hear) #flint city officials upset at my comparisons yesterday. They should use their anger 2 make sure resident aren't drinking death water." In another message, Williams wrote, "Isn't it extreme to knowingly sell residents contaminated water people in #flint forced to buy liver disease water? What is that? #Genocide." xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b1548_3844_3846_2 In addition to his work as president of NAN-Michigan, Williams is the pastor of King Solomon Baptist Church of Detroit. This week was not Williams' first appearance in the spotlight in Flint. In 2013, he demanded Hurley Medical Center officials answer charges that they granted a father's request that only white nurses care for his infant child. The hospital eventually agreed to pay nearly $200,000 in total to three black nurses who sued the hospital after claiming they were discriminated against when they weren't allowed to treat that white baby. NAN describes itself as one of the leading civil rights organizations in the nation with chapters throughout the United States. The organization was founded in 1991 by Sharpton.

RE: pastor harris

Only problem with that is that the citizens of Flint say they are paying more now than they did when they were connected with DWSD. The city, after all, is not giving the water away free right now, so there is some kind of equalization that comes into play here. Additionally, we just gave them $2M so if we need to use it for a reconnect that’s probably a good use of the money as opposed to people refusing to use city water. Since we’re in charge, we can hardly ignore the people of Flint. After all, If GM refuses to use the water in their plant and our own agencies are warning people not to drink it, another expressing continuing concern over quality, and the differential between what we now collect and what we would pay DWSD is not significant, we look pretty stupid hiding behind some financial statement.

RE: pastor harris

Would add that the city (Earley, Ambrose, etc.) have been unequivocal that doing so would cost at least $1m per month...per the DWSD “offer” ...and the city simply cannot afford that. | have also heard that the city no longer owns a section of pipeline that would have to be used in making any re-connection...making that more difficult and expensive.

Fwd: pastor harris

Brad: | just spoke with Pastor Harris, the president of the Concerned Pastors for Social Action. He said the group asked that Flint be immediately re-connected to Lake Huron water during yesterday’s meeting and is expecting a response of some kind by the beginning of next week.

Background @ The quality of Flint water has been a high-profile concern in recent weeks, with residents complaining about the color, taste and smell of tap water since a switch to Flint River water as a temporary source as a pipeline is built to Lake Huron as a water source starting in 2016. a Residents have attended meetings with jugs of brownish water. o U.S. Kildee has worked with labor and community groups to distribute bottled water. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b28_4390_4585_182 @ Mayor Walling has issued a letter (included below) calling for state and federal assistance for the city, including forgiveness of some $20 million in debt through the Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund and calling for the governor to come to Flint personally. o Walling also submitted a guest column to the Flint Journal with similar requests. = He said the loan forgiveness is needed for the city to upgrade its water treatment process. o Governor and Mayor Walling had a telephone conversation on Friday, and the mayor has pledged to work together on solutions. @ Rep. Sheldon Neeley also has sent the governor a letter, saying that his constituents “are on the verge of civil unrest.” The Department of Environmental Quality has been monitoring the water situation, with a detailed backgrounder and talking points attached below. ™@ The Treasury Department is announcing Tuesday that Flint is among the cities receiving a combined $8 million the Financially Distressed Cities, Villages and Townships grant program. o The announcement of the other grants will follow the Flint announcement. = The Flint grants are $1.1 million to allow the city to replace the functions of the old incinerator with new water pollution control facility allowing for the disposal of waste to landfills. "The other is $900,000 to allow the city to hire a contractor to perform a leak detection survey, which will lead to prioritizing repairs. o Abreakdown of the grants is included below. Treasury breakdown of Flint grants Flint Incinerator: The grant project entails shutting down the current Water Pollution Contro! Facility Incinerator (due to the incinerator not being up to new EPA standards). In order to meet EPA standards, it would cost roughly $8.8M in upgrades to the current incinerator. The grant funding will allow them to replace the functions of the old incinerator by constructing new facilities which will allow for the disposal of waste to landfills. Budget Breakdown Construction Contractor $1,050,000 Project Management $50,000 Total $1,100,000 Flint Leak Detection: The grant project will allow the city to hire a contractor to perform a leak detection survey of the city water lines. The city will receive a map of leak locations and an assessment of leak severity. This data will allow the city to prioritize leak repair. The project also covers the expense of conducting a water pipe line wall thickness condition assessment on a portion of the city’s pipes. The assessment will guide the city’s water main replacement program. Budget Breakdown Project Planning $90,000 Mobilization of Crew to Site $27,000 Leak Detection < 16” diameter $378,000 xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b28_4390_4585_183 Leak Detection 16” diameter or > $270,000 Pipe Condition Assessments $135,000 Total $900,000 DEQ backgrounder on Flint water Following the formal approval of Flint into the KWA in 2012, DWSD sent Flint a letter saying their contract was thereby terminated (by early 2013). Genesee County has been using DWSD water without a contract since May 2014. But Flint took the letter to imply a water cutoff, and promptly turned to DEQ with a proposal to use the Flint River (their historic backup system). This proposed shift was pitched primarily as a money saver. But it put the city in the business of water production, where they historically had been in the business of water transmission. DEQ approved the use of the river as a source, based on the treatment plant’s past performance as a standby facility and the improvements we outlined prior to a switchover. Several municipalities around the state use surface water supplies (rivers): Blissfield near Monroe, Manistique, and Alma to name a few. The city completed the upgrades at the water plant the facility and DEQ approved it April 2014. There were some initial hiccups. Last summer, there were a couple of ‘bail water’ notices issued. One for a water test that showed e. coli, one for a break in the water main. The challenge to using the Flint River as a source is that the condition of the water is variable and changes with season and weather. It has substantially more organic matter than deep lake sources like Lake Huron. This organic matter is mobilized by high water events, and warm weather also can account for more organic material in the water. The treatment of the organic matter is done with chlorine. One might conclude that the continual answer is just to use more chlorine to achieve water safety. However, at some point on the continuum, the chlorine and organic matter create TTHM — total trihalomethanes — as a byproduct. When the standard for those is exceeded over several consecutive quarters of testing, the supply is required by law to issue public notice and submit an approved plan for addressing the situation. You'll note that this regulatory approach means TTHM testing is done quarterly. That means people who use the system are exposed to TTHM for several months before the public notice is required. It’s because TTHM is a chronic health threat. Over the long term (measured in decades), continued exposure can contribute to some known health problems. If this were an immediate health threat, customers would receive immediate notification to boil their water or not use it. Put in context, the EPA (which established the standard and the rule) estimates the existence of the TTHM standard prevents an estimated 280 bladder cancer cases each year ... out of more than 330 million people who use public water supplies around the country. It’s not “nothing.” State and federal law requires quarterly testing for TTHM and that the public be informed of it when the annual average of four quarters’ worth of consecutive testing shows TTHM xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b28_4390_4585_184 levels exceeding 80 parts per billion. Flint’s results managed to exceed the annual average in three quarters, and they must develop a plan to address it. But it’s not like an eminent threat to public health. Unlike an e. Coli or even total coliform bacteria maximum contaminant level, which require immediate public notification and response and are part of daily / hourly testing of public water supplies, TTHMs pose a public health concern with chronic, long- term exposure. It’s clear the nature of the threat was communicated poorly. It’s also clear that folks in Flint are concerned about other aspects of their water — taste, smell and color being among the top complaints. The Safe Drinking Water Act requires public water supplies be tested for more than 90 regulated contaminants, including microbial contaminants. The act, and the program here in Michigan, work to ensure that water is safe to drink. The act does not regulate aesthetic values of water. Here are some factors affecting the aesthetics of water in Flint. 1. It’s the Flint River. The water supplied by DWSD historically came from Lake Huron. It’s softer. With hard water, you get a different flavor and feel. It’s why General Motors suspended use of Flint Water — it was rusting their parts. Also, there’s the ‘organics’ factor (discussed previously). 2. The system is old. Flint has more than 500 miles of water pipes. More than half of those pipe miles are more than 75 years old. Much of it is cast iron. Hard water can react with cast iron and exacerbates the rusty factor, which creates that brown water that angry residents were holding up in jugs for the media cameras last week. Valve failure has also been a key challenge. The system has an estimated 7,500+ valves. When they stick open or stick shut, it affects the hydraulics of the system and increase areas of stagnation. The city has a backlog of valves that need to be addressed. They've done half a dozen or so since November. 3. Flint is old. Many of the homes served by the system are old. Brown water complaints may also be attributable to cast iron pipes in customers’ service connection to the city lines. The DEQ has been encouraging people with water coloration concerns to contact the city and see whether it is the service line or the City’s line causing the issue. Again, discoloration is not an indicator of water quality or water safety, but we recognize that nobody likes it. In summary, the City of Flint has tremendous need to address its water delivery system. We are not aware that they have any capital improvement funds for preventative maintenance in place, much less line replacement project monies that will require hundreds of millions. The City was approved for a Revolving Fund loan in 2008 or 2009. As a Distressed Community, they qualified for flexible terms and 2 percent interest rate Revolving Fund Loan. After they were notified they were approved for the loan, they declined it. Previous SRF loans from the state to Flint bear an outstanding balance of $20.7 mitlion today. The DEQ continues working with the city to address the TTHM issue. They can take interim steps — from scrubbing the insides of transmission lines to carefully monitoring the hydraulic challenges in their system — to address customers’ aesthetic concerns. Their TTHM numbers already are showing dramatic improvement; the November testing showed only one of seven sample points exceeding the standard. The key now is that the standard is an average of three quarters’ worth of results. It will be some time before they are officially “not in violation.” However, depending on weather in 2015, it’s not unforeseeable that we will be having this conversation again by next Christmas. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b28_4390_4585_185 The key to the conversation is that TTHM is not a top health concern. That's key because residents need to understand TTHM in context, and it is key because it appears the mayor has seized on the public panic (sparked, frankly, by their poor communication of the violation notice) to ask the state for loan forgiveness and more money for their infrastructure improvement. Another key thing to remember is that once the city connects to the new KWA system in 2016, this issue will fade in the rearview. Key messages: 1. The DEQ Drinking Water program works with communities around the state to ensure that municipalities provide customers with clean, safe drinking water. 2. Municipal water supplies are tested rigorously and regularly for more than 90 regulated contaminants, including microbial contaminants that pose an immediate public health concern. 3. Flint’s exceedance of the TTHM standard should reassure residents that the testing program is effective. 4. TTHM is not an immediate health threat. It is a chronic concern, one that can be problematic over the course of several decades of exposure. The public was notified because the law requires the city to make public notification, so that everyone can make informed decisions. This is particularly true for people with infants or those with compromised immune systems. 5. The DEQ is working with the City to address the situation. Recent tests show the TTHM numbers dropping rapidly. The department will continue working with the city in the months ahead, and residents should feel confident that their water is safe to drink unless the DEQ or City notifies them otherwise. 6. The discoloration and odor issues some Flint residents are experiencing are separate issues from the TTHM issue. TTHM is odorless, colorless and measured in parts per billion. 7. Flint water customers who have questions or concerns about their water should first contact the city to get answers and help. They also can contact the Michigan DEQ.

Flint FDCVT Project Summaries

Importance: High AHL.see below. As noted on the 1:30 conf call, both are “related” to water. Flint Incinerator The grant project entails shutting down the current Water Pollution Control Facility Incinerator (due to the incinerator not being up to new EPA standards). In order to meet EPA standards, it would cost roughly $8.8M in upgrades to the current incinerator. The grant funding will allow them to replace the functions of the old incinerator by constructing new facilities which will allow for the disposal of waste to landfills. Budget Breakdown Construction Contractor $1,050,000 Project Management $50,000 Total $1,100,000 Flint Leak Detection The grant project will allow the city to hire a contractor to perform a leak detection survey of the city water lines. The city will receive a map of leak locations and an assessment of leak severity. This data will allow the city to prioritize leak repair. The project also covers the expense of conducting a water pipe line wall thickness condition assessment ona portion of the city’s pipes. The assessment will guide the city’s water main replacement program. Budget Breakdown Project Planning $90,000 Mobilization of Crew to Site $27,000 Leak Detection < 16” diameter $378,000 Leak Detection 16” diameter or > $270,000 Pipe Condition Assessments $135,000 Total $900,000 xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0644_1978_1978_1

Hi Chief and Harvey, Sara asked me to put this Flint Journal guest column fram the Flint mayor fattached] on your radar. Mayor Walling is seeking to drag the governor into the conflict with both hands, even demanding that the governor visit the city. Sara mentioned that it was the City of Flint that wanted to rake the change in the first place, and wanted to determine whether that’s a point you think we should make. We've been staving very highdevel at this point. Thanks for your assistance! Dave
