Date: Friday, September 25, 2015 8:05:57 AM In general, I think this looks good. Was it shared with George Kristian at the lab for review? One other point, not sure how eDWR would reduce the number of samples that exceed the hold time. I didn't include Jennifer on this response. Make sure she knows I had a chance to look at her review. Thanks.

| read it today and had a few comments but wanted to discuss them with Kris Philip before | replied. | hope to have that conversation tomorrow. Liane is out until October 7.

All--Richard pointed out you all have busy working on issues with our favorite City, and also you all were out last week for the Section meeting. In light of the possibility that we will be shut-down next Thursday, | would like to finalize this on Wednesday COB. If you can get me any comments by say Wednesday early afternoon, | can finalize at the end of the day. If we have a continuing resolution, ’d like to get comments by Friday, Oct 2 COB and | will finalize on Monday Oct 5. Dan said he had a few comments on my NCWS write-up for data management, etc. Liane, I’m hoping you can read my resources comments, and Flint comments, and make sure these are OK with you. Thank you all for your time. ennifer

All---Yes, | know, I’m a bit behind in documenting our evaluation of your program this year, for which | apologize. | summarized activities during FY 2014, but also included more up-to-date information to make this document more relevant to you. Please note that this is a final draft from the Region, but this is your opportunity to make changes to this document. Also, | included a sentence about Flint under Rules and Primacy, acknowledging the resources you all have provided Flint. Again, please feel free to edit/delete. If you could provide me with any revisions by Monday Sept 14, | can finalize. Also attached is our rather voluminous chart summary of Measures and Indicators used to assist with evaluating your program. Please note that the Logic Model Report Tool (LMRT) was not funded by HQ in 2015, so we did not receive any updated data this year. The LMRT data provided in this document was received in July 2014, for CY 2009-CY 2013. Not very relevant now, but FYI. We are currently looking for another national source of data that we can analyze that will give us trends, as did the LMRT data. Thank you! Jennifer xxxEND_PAGE:deq03_b372_1910_1911_2

I’m not sure if anyone else receives these messages from ASDWA so | am sending it to those | think may want to contribute to the answers ASDWA is seeking about possible revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule. | also don’t know who has time to deal with this matter by the requested response date of March 13". | believe Pat and Jean were leads for Michigan on our contribution to the Region 5 workgroup that was providing Miguel Del Toro with advice for his participation in the national LCR workgroup. But Jean is out until April, Pat will only be in the office a few days between now and March ih. am out most of next week, and Kris leaves next Thursday for almost 2 weeks. | don’t think the answers to the questions are simple and they could take some collaboration. Anyone want to volunteer? Too bad we haven't filled that LCR/CCR Rule Manager position. But then they probably couldn’t answer these questions alone.
