Gre Gt BOV> Hi Brad/Angela: | am writing a story for Friday’s paper about former Flint Mayor James Sharp, Jr. calling for federal investigations and more comprehensive outreach efforts to contact and test those who may have drank Flint water containing unsafe levels of lead. Sharp, who was Flint mayor from 1983 to 1987, also has another somewhat unique perspective on the issue of contaminated drinking water. He was a U.S. Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune in the 1950s, where it was later determined drinking water was contaminated with cancer-causing chemicals such as the dry cleaning fluid perchloroethylene. Sharp told the Free Press in an interview Wednesday that his daughter born on the base, who died at the age of two months, may have been a victim of the toxins. Sharp said after learning of the contamination in the 1980s, officials created a database and contacted him and thousands of others who may have drank the water. In 2012, President Obama signed federal legislation providing medical care to those who drank the Camp Lejeune water. xxxEND_PAGE:deq15_b358_1538_1539_1 Similar actions, along with investigations by the U.S. Justice Department and FBI, need to be taken in response to the situation in Flint, Sharp said. Just a couple of questions: What is the status of the “after action” report requested by the governor? Does the state believe investigations by the U.S. Justice Department or FBI would be helpful? What is the state’s response to Sharp’s suggestion of creating a database of everyone who might have been exposed to the water and attempting to contact and test them? Thanks, Paul Egan Detroit Free Press 517-372-8660 xxxEND_PAGE:deq15_b358_1538_1539_2

Our edits are attached. Thank youl

No, do not worry- let me do the talking---there is still AN ASSOCIATION but doesn't reach a statistical significance.... and further analysis is STILL happening. Further we will also say that we cannot say it is all due to water... WE ARE STILL ON TRACK FROM YESTERDAV---there is an 18% increase in high risk zips, EPI-TALK

fam confused, can you say this in plain English for me because when i read that there is not a statistical significance to the change in the nurmbers Lam wondering if everything we were saying yesterday is wrong.

Note below, please. Will talk further with Tox EHS in am - Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message:

The Next Stens slide no longer recornmends that the city declare a health advisory. it now says ‘support city’s health advisory’. Hf Flint will be issuing a health advisory, will Genesee County support this? Angela
