Dear Senator Ananich:
Enclosed are answers to the questions you posed in your October 20, 2015 letter to our
office regarding the audit we are conducting of the Office of Drinking Water and Municipal
Assistance (ODWMA), Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), specific to lead
contamination in the City of Flint's drinking water. Also enclosed are additional questions
we developed that are relevant to these issues, along with five exhibits:
« Amap showing Flint water samples by zip code.
« A map showing lead counts of 5 parts per billion or higher.
e Two charts showing the number of samples by time period and zip code.
e« A time line of the Flint water review.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist you in answering questions regarding this topic. If
you have further questions or a request for other services, please do not hesitate to
contact our office.
Sincerely,

OAG Questions and Answers
Q1: How does ODWMA ensure the data it receives is accurate?
A: With regard to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Lead
and Copper Rule (LCR) monitoring requirements, DEQ relies on the following key
controls to ensure the accuracy of test results:
e State-owned laboratories test water samples.
« State-owned laboratories send test results directly to DEQ.
« The City of Flint Water Treatment Plant (Flint WTP) certifies whether
sample sites are classified as tier 1°.
The current Flint WTP LCR sampling process includes:
1. DEQ informs the Flint WTP of the required water lead and copper
sample size.
2. The Flint WTP determines the pool of tier 1 sites for sampling.
3. The Flint WTP selects the sample.
4. The Flint WTP sends out sample kits and instructions to residents for
collecting water samples.
5. Residents leave samples and signed sampling forms outside their front
doors.
6. The Flint WTP employee picks up samples and forms from residents.
7. The Flint WTP employee reviews sample forms for completeness.
8. The Flint WTP employee sends samples to the State-owned
laboratories.
9. State-owned laboratories test samples and provide results directly to
DEQ
10. DEQ receives water lead and copper sample results, which include
the following information: date collected, date received, address
where collected, type of residence (e.g., single family or apartment),
and sample point (e.g., kitchen sink or bathroom sink).
11. DEQ tracks, and follows up if necessary, the number of samples
collected by the Flint WTP to help ensure that the required minimum
number of samples are collected by the monitoring period deadline.
. Single-family or multiple-family residence with lead service line, lead solder copper piping
constructed after 1982, or lead plumbing.
Page 1
xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b26_3730_4111_180
a2:
12. The Flint WTP submits lead and copper report to DEQ that certifies
whether sample sites meet tier 1 criteria.
13. DEQ prepares the LCR 90th percentile calculation report.
During our review, we noted two potential improvements for the Flint WTP
sampling process (see Question 5 of the additional questions answered by the
OAG regarding tier 1 sample validity):
« DEQ could verify that the sampling pool was limited to only tier 1 sample
sites to ensure that the Flint WTP is in compliance with the LCR
(Title 40, Part 141, section 86(a)(3) of the Code of Federal Regulations
[CFR].
e DEQ could independently verify the validity of sample site certifications.
What accountability measures are in place for OOWMA staff who fail to follow data
verification protocols?
A
DEQ does not provide any direct oversight over the Flint WTP and, therefore,
does not have any accountability measures over the Flint WTP's LCR data
verification protocols, DEQ's data verification protocol for lead and copper
water sampling is limited to verification that the WTP certifies samples
submitted to the State-owned laboratories for analysis (see steps 7 and 12 in
the Flint WTP LCR sampling process noted in Question 1 above). We did not
identify any instances in which ODWMA staff failed to verify that submitted
samples were certified by the Flint WTP.
What accountability measures are in place for ODWMA staff who lie or
misrepresent information to the EPA?
A:
As with all classified employees, ODWMA staff must adhere to the rules and
regulations established by the Michigan Civil Service Commission. If any
ODWMaA staff were determined to misrepresent information to the EPA, they
would be subject to Civil Service Rule 2-6, Discipline, which allows an
appointing authority to discipline an employee for just cause up to and including
dismissal. We are not aware of any DEQ-established measures that are in
addition to the Civil Service Rules.
We gained access to the e-mail accounts of key DEQ management (DEQ
Director, Deputy Director, ODWMA Chief, and other key ODWMA staff)
extending back to January 1, 2013. We did so to identify the key decision
points and conversations that occurred leading up to and through the situation in
Flint. Our review was also intended to determine whether State, Flint, or other
officials attempted to conceal key test results or other information.
We noted one e-mail exchange between DEQ and the EPA that appears to be a
significant contributor to the concern that DEQ misrepresented information to
the EPA. The EPA requested clarification on February 26, 2015 regarding the
type of optimized corrosion control treatment the Flint WTP was using. DEQ
responded on February 27, 2015 that the city had an optimized corrosion
control program in place, but DEQ did not provide any program details. DEQ
informed us that the Flint WTP corrosion control program included performing
Page 2
xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b26_3730_4111_181
lead and copper monitoring for two consecutive six-month periods to determine
whether corrosion control treatment would be necessary in the future.
However, it appears the EPA interpreted corrosion control program to mean that
corrosion control treatment was being performed.
On April 23, 2015, the EPA again inquired as to what the Flint WTP was doing
for corrosion control treatment. DEQ responded on April 24, 2015 that the Flint
WTP was not practicing corrosion control treatment.
Based on our review of this and other e-mails, we have no specific reason to
believe that DEQ willfully misrepresented the information to the EPA.
Q4: What policies do DEQ and ODWMA have in place to escalate major infractions up
the chain of command?
A: We did not note any instances of major infractions {i.e., intentional disregard of
policies, laws, regulations or specific directions) committed by DEQ. staff during
the course of our review. DEQ does not have a forma! policy or procedure in
place to escalate major infractions performed by ODWMA employees; however,
our review of DEQ correspondence confirmed the escalation of key issues up the
chain of command related to the Flint situation. DEQ stated that its informal
policy is for staff to notify the proper level of management of infractions to
determine necessary action.

Application of the LCR
Q1: How did the Flint WTP become the primary water supplier for the City of Flint?
A: Upon notification of the City of Flint's plans to switch to the Karegnondi Water
Authority (KWA) in April 2013, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department
(DWSD) submitted a letter to the City of Flint stating that it would terminate its
agreement to provide water services on April 17, 2014.
According to DEQ management, the Flint WTP attempted to negotiate with the
DWSD to maintain it as the City of Flint water supplier; however, after
negotiations were unsuccessful, the City of Flint notified DEQ through a permit
request of its intent to operate the Flint WTP full time using the Flint River.
Although the Flint City Council voted in March 2013 in support of moving to the
KWA pipeline, the vote was silent on the use of the Flint River as a temporary
drinking water source.
DEQ informed us that in the 1990s, the City of Flint upgraded the Flint WTP to
serve as a backup source of water for emergencies. In 2006, the Flint WTP
began quarterly testing of the treated Flint River water at the Flint WTP to
ensure water quality standards were met; however, the Flint WTP did not test
the water's effect on the distribution system at consumer tap locations.
Q2. Did DEQ consult with the EPA prior to determining how to apply the LCR?
A: DEQ did not consult with the EPA on how to apply the LCR prior to
implementing two consecutive six-month monitoring periods of the Flint WTP
beginning July 1, 2014. Based on past experiences applying the LCR monitoring
requirements, DEQ believed that it had appropriately applied the LCR
requirements of a large water system.
Q3: When Flint switched to the Flint River water source, should corrosion control
treatment have been maintained?
A: We believe that corrosion control treatment should have been maintained.
According to the LCR, a water system can achieve optimized corrosion control if
it submits results of tap water monitoring for two consecutive six-month
Monitoring periods with acceptable lead levels. However, a water system that
has optimized corrosion control, and which has treatment in place, should
continue to operate and maintain optimal corrosion control treatment.
DEQ staff explained that they did not treat the switch to Flint River water as a
new system, but as a new source. DEQ further stated that because the Flint
River was a new water source and there was a change in chemicals needed to
treat the new source, a corrosion control study was needed to determine the
impact on the water distribution system. Therefore, it was DEQ's interpretation
that two rounds of six-month monitoring were still needed to evaluate the water
quality and determine optimal corrosion control treatment.
Page 4
xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b26_3730_4111_183
The Flint water system had optimal corrosion contro! treatment when the DWSD
WTP was the water supplier. Based on our review of notes from a July 21,
2015 EPA and DEQ conference call on DEQ's implementation of the LCR
regarding whether the Flint WTP should have continued to maintain corrosion
contro! treatment, it appeared that the EPA did not agree with DEQ's
interpretation of the LCR. Region 5 EPA staff explained that they would talk to
the EPA headquarters about the interpretation of regulations and believes that
systems that have been deemed optimized need to “maintain” corrosion control.
The Region agreed to provide supporting regulatory citations for the language
about maintaining corrosion control.
On November 3, 2015, the EPA issued a memorandum stating that the LCR had
differing possible interpretations; however, the EPA concluded that it is
important for large water systems to take the steps necessary to ensure that
appropriate corrosion control treatment is maintained at all times, thus ensuring
that public health is protected. Based on this clarification, it appears that
corrosion control treatment should have been maintained.
Q4: Should DEQ have required the Flint WTP to start pursuing optimized corrosion
control treatment after the first round of six-month sampling results were above the
lead action level of 5 parts per billion (ppb)?
A: Yes. According to DEQ's application of the LCR, within six months after the
end of the monitoring period in which the water sample results exceeded the
acceptable lead level, DEQ should have required the Flint WTP to start pursuing
optimized corrosion control treatment.
The LCR states that the lead action level is exceeded if the lead level, as
determined by the 90th percentile calculation, is greater than 15 ppb. If the
lead action level is exceeded, water systems are required to take additional
actions including educating the public about lead in drinking water as well as
commencing lead service fine replacement if the water system has already
installed corrosion contro! and/or source water treatment. However, for water
systems that have not yet implemented corrosion control treatment, they can be
deemed to have optimized corrosion control without installing treatment if they
can demonstrate lead levels below 5 ppb for two consecutive six-month periods.
The first round of six-month sampling results was received in late March 2015.
Because the results were 1 ppb over the lead action level of 5 ppb, DEQ would
not be able to achieve two consecutive six-month periods below 5 ppb.
Therefore, DEQ should have notified the Flint WTP to start pursuing optimized
corrosion contro! treatment. However, DEQ waited until the second round of
sampling was completed (June 30, 2015) to assess whether water sample
results improved.

Q5: Did DEQ verify that only tier 1 sample sites were selected by the Flint WTP in the
two rounds of six-month samples?
A: DEQ did not verify that only tier 1 sample sites were selected. DEQ relies on
the Flint WTP's certification of sample sites and does not perform any
independent verification of those certifications.

In a November 19, 2015 Flint Journal article, the Flint WTP indicated that it did
not have the ability to ensure that all sites were tier 1. In fact, water samples
came from the random distribution of 175 testing bottles without regard for
whether the homes were at risk for high lead levels. DEQ issued a formal
memorandum on November 9, 2015 requesting that the Flint WTP verify the
classification of all prior sample items. The results are due back from the Flint
WTP on December 30, 2015.
Q6: DEQ dropped two water sampling sites from its second six-month sample
(January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015). Was this appropriate?
A: Yes, it was appropriate for DEQ to drop these two water sampling sites. Federal
regulation 40 CFA 141.86(a) states:
",..@ach water system shall complete a materials evaluation
of its distribution system in order to identify a pool of targeted
sampling sites that meets the requirements of this section . . .
All sites from which first draw samples are collected shall be
selected from this pool . . . Sampling sites may not include
faucets that have point-of-use or point-of-entry treatment
devices designed to remove inorganic contaminants.”
This regulation also requires that a water system's targeted sampling pool
consist of only tier 1 sampling sites if an adequate number is available to meet
monitoring requirements.
According to federal regulation 40 CFR 141.86(f), the State may invalidate a
water sample if it determines that the sample was taken from a site that did not
meet the site selection criteria. A sample invalidated per this regulation does
not count toward determining lead or copper 90th percentile levels or toward
meeting the minimum monitoring requirements.
DEQ dropped one water sample site from its 90th percentile calculations
because the site was from a business that does not meet the tier 1 requirements
of being a single-family or multiple-family residence. The second sample site
was dropped because the home had a point-of-entry treatment device to filter
contaminants. Based on the criteria specified above, it appears that DEQ's
rationale for dropping the samples from these two sites appropriately met the
requirements for invalidating samples per federal regulation 40 CFR 141.86.
Q7: Was flushing of the taps the night before drawing a sample an appropriate sample
methodology?
A: Yes. The LCR requires that samples be a first draw of water after six hours of
stagnation. The LCR does not indicate whether or not the water line should be
flushed prior to collecting the sample. in the sample instructions, DEQ required
preflushing to ensure that sampled faucets were not stagnant for an excessive
period of time beyond the targeted six hours (e.g., rarely used faucets or when a
homeowner has been gone for an extended period of time.)
The LCR requires six hours of stagnation; however, it does not preclude DEQ
