| just got a phone call that my hygienist called in sick, so my dentist appointment needs to be rescheduled. Unfortunately, I'm fighting a headache. As soon as that eases I'll be on my way in. I'll text Tracy Jo as | leave the house. Jim - we should! have a new draft of the compliance monitoring sampling instructions ready for you by lunch. xxxEND_PAGE:deq16_b4_0688_0891_055 DRINKING WATER LEAD AND COPPER SAMPLING INSTRUCTIONS Dear Resident: Thank you for helping to monitor for lead and copper in your drinking water. This sampling is required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, and is being accomplished through the cooperation of homeowners and residents. It is important that you follow these instructions so we collect an accurate measurement of the lead and copper in your drinking water. This sample should represent the water you would typically drink and the faucet from where you drink the water. To best accomplish this, select a faucet for sampling that was used the day before. Call your water supply if you have questions. 1. Water must sit idle in the pipes for an extended length of time before sampling. Therefore, do not use any water in the house for at least 6 hours before sampling. If the faucet has been idle more than 18 hours, the sample might not be analyzed because it does not represent typical daily use. The best times to sample are early morning or after returning from work. 2. Select an unfiltered/untreated faucet in the KITCHEN or BATHROOM that is commonly used for drinking. DO NOT sample from a laundry sink or a hose spigot as these samples cannot be used for compliance. DO NOT use a faucet that has a filter attached to it unless you bypass the filter. DO NOT use a faucet that is connected to a home water treatment device (like a water softener, iron filter, reverse osmosis) unless you bypass the home water treatment device. 3. If you have a single handle faucet, turn it to the COLD side. Place the open sample bottle below the faucet and gently open the cold water tap. Fill the sample bottle to the neck with the “first draw” of COLD water. 4. Tightly cap the sample bottle and place in the sample kit provided. Review the sample kit label to ensure all information contained on the label is correct. 5. Answer the questions on the back of this form and sign the form. 6. Attach this form to the bottle and leave it outside your front door for pick-up. 7. Thank you again for your help. We will send you the results within 30 days of receiving them. Information on this year’s lead and copper monitoring will be printed in the Annual Water Quality Report that will be made available to you by July 1 of next year. Contact your water supply if you have questions. If you have questions call: Phone: Water Supply: Or Contact: Manager or Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Water Operator: xxxEND_PAGE:deq16_b4_0688_0891_056 DEQ Contact: Phone: xxxEND_PAGE:deq16_b4_0688_0891_057 Which faucet did you use to fill the bottle?

Date: Monday, November 09, 2015 11:34:00 AM Suggestions for inclusion in the weekly governor’s report: Concerns — The state is being criticized as a result of recent information coming to light that a significant number of samples were not collected from proper sampling locations as part of the sampling program in the City of Flint to demonstrate compliance with the lead/copper rule under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Recently, the City of Flint began to electronically convert customer service line information. This effort along with statements by some of the City’s certified operators directly conflict with information certified by the City in documents referred to as lead/copper rule compliance monitoring certification reports. Correspondence is drafted and will be sent to the City requesting the City provide appropriate documentation to demonstrate that the sampling locations selected and certified by the City comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act. In the absence of appropriate the City of Flint may be subject to enforcement for violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Significant Event — On November 3, 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a memorandum to address “certain concerns raised about the application of the 1991 Lead and Copper Rule, specifically the requirements pertaining to maintenance of optimal corrosion control treatment , in situations in which a large water system ceases to purchase treated water and switches to a new drinking water source.” The memo states that “This type of situation rarely arises and the language of the LCR does not specifically discuss such circumstances. After the reviewing the rule with our Office of General Counsel, it appears that there are differing possible interpretations of the LCR with respect to how the rule’s optimal corrosion control treatment procedures apply to this situation”... This EPA memorandum clarifies the requirements should a situation like Flint occur again in the future. However, it clearly recognizes that the options chosen by Michigan were one interpretation or option of the rule. xxxEND_PAGE:deq04_b588_7572_7572_1
