Mike, Darren, Jeff, Eric, Carol and Miguel and R5 MI/Enforcement personnel (as listed on the R5 webpage). In this e-mail, | am making you aware of what we know regarding the Flint lead situation. 1) They do not have an approved lead sampling pool. Only 13 of the lowest lead sampled homes from 2014, were resampled in 2015.. : . The homes sampling high in 2014, were not seked to be resampled. At best, their program is sending out sampling bottles at random across the city. xxxEND_PAGE:deq26_b081_0778_0781_1 FS 2) This message exemplifies the type of site selection, that they are doing to satisfy their high risk LCR monitoring pool - site. That is, none. They are not even hiding it. htt ://www 3) Furthermore, in a video now on the ACLU website, at the end of the interview, Mike Glasgow (int LCR Prose Notes what is perfectly obvious from looking at the MDEQ FOIA materials. e threw out bottles. everywhere je just. to- collect. as. many-as we can, just to hit our nu usttarn‘tn in every rhe we get in.” .

Nat include: 5 and we j a) Technical violation in that what they now stamp as the “draft” report (attached) is late (the signed date is 7/28/2015). It was due 7/10/2015. The final “revised” report is dated 8/20/2015 (also attached), which is 40 days late. b) Although 87 sites from 2014 were not resampled, no written justification for the site changes was provided in the FOIA materials, and this is required by law. The statement given today by Flint, that residents were not resampled because they did not want to participate, is contradicted by my conversations with residents. . ¢) In the original 71 samples Flint submitted late, the lead 90%ile action level was exceeded. MDEQ took the initiative to invalidate 2 samples, dropping Flint below the Action Level. Flint never requested in writing that any of the samples be invalidated (see the comments written in the box of page 1, FOIA 15-585). Mike Glasgow says that the 2 high samples were deleted based on me conference call. Only the high samples were scrutinized for meeting the sample pool criteria. No low samples were investigated. | have the e-mails. 4) The “Draft 7/28/2015” and “revised 8/20/2015” LCR reports, on page 1, check boxes that note Tier 1 sites are not used. MDEQ asks no questions about that. In video Mike admits he has no knowledge of what sites actually have lead pipe or not. 5) Flint did not achieve the minimum number of samples as determined before the sampling round. In his e-mail Mike Glasgow (see below, and see FLINT LCR FOR FOIA...pdf) acknowledges this will be a technical violation. The draft LCR- clearly indicates that the minimum was not achieved. MDEQ responds “we are discussing options” to handle this technical violation. In the August 20" revised final report, even this technical violation magically disappears (see comments box on page 1....). xxxEND_PAGE:deq26_b081_0778_0781_2
