One of you should please get in touch with Fanger to discuss the issue about KWA water arc EPA's proposal that will
require a few miles of pipe potentially ackted to the project. He’s looking for some perspective,

Because this media inquiry appears to be in response to Flint, | am asking if | should return
the call or refer it to the Public Information Office? | have heard that this media outlet has
contacted at least one other public water system to ask about the status of their LCR
compliance.

Thought folks might find these documents informative:
Attached to this message are a couple of documents that were prepared over a decade ago
that discuss excessive stagnation and sample invalidation under the LCR. They were
prepared in response to questions from the Washington Post and other news media about
invalidation of some samples collected in the Lansing Board of Water Light service area.
The first document is an internal memo that identifies language in the federal preamble to
and in EPA guidance for the LCR that discuss the need to collect samples from homes that
have experienced “typical residential water use during the day before the compliance
sample is collected.”
The second document is a report prepared to explain why we “invalidated” samples for
excessive stagnation in Lansing. It was in the aftermath of this event when EPA eliminated
the ability of state programs to invalidate sample results based on excessive stagnation that
ed the Michigan Public Water Supply Program to develop a recommendation that
communities advise residents participating in their compliance monitoring to flush the
designated sampling tap 6 to 8 hours before sample collection (the night before in most
cases) to ensure that this tap was not experiencing excessive periods of stagnation. We did
not want subsequent regulatory requirements to be imposed based on water quality
information that did not accurately reflect the regulatory intent. This briefing report also
xxxEND_PAGE:deq04_b214_3461_3462_1
discusses the fact that the regulatory monitoring scheme was not intended to represent
human intake, but was based upon sampling a statistically significant number of residences
containing leaded plumbing materials as a measure of successful water treatment efficacy.

{think this would be great for the website, but it'd be better if we could post it directly as a PDF. We could dink, but EPA
updates their site regularly, so links to their pages tend to break pretty quickly. We'd just have to have an agreement
with them on when the PDF would come down se they wouldn't feel like there was an outdated version of thelr
pamphlet doating around,
