Mr. VanDeventer called me this afternoon and indicated they are looking for LCR related information, so the first bulleted item in their FOIA requests can be considered to be with respect to LCR documents just like the second and third bullet. He also indicated that his use of the phrase, “water testing standards and protocols used to test the community water supply...” was referring to the analytical procedures. | suggested he contact the state laboratory to get the information about the analytical procedures they use for analyzing lead. | said that some of these large systems may also use another certified laboratory, and he would have to contact those laboratories should he want that information. He mentioned that some district staff had informed him there may be a central repository for this information. 90" percentile calculations since 2011 are stored in SDWIS, but individual lead results are not. As the Grand Rapids district first noted, these requests do not specifically ask for actual results, but seem to be more aimed at the implementation of the LCR. | would assume any compliance determination correspondence since January of 2011 would be included. If actual results have been included with correspondence that fits the request, so be it. Please proceed to fill these FOIA requests.

FYI. If | don’t here from the requestor by Monday, we will fill this request on the assumption that they are interested in the lead and copper monitoring program. Richard Benzie, P.E., Chief Field Operations Section Office of Drinking Water and Municipal Assistance, MDEQ 517-284-6512

Hi Richard, | spoke to Melody this afternoon and she said we are required to notify the requestor of a 10 day extension by the end of the day tomorrow 11/6. She said that notification would have to come

| left another voicemail message earlier today and have just now sent this email hoping to get a response by the end of the week.

FYI. We can discuss this matter further at our upcoming FOS Managers meeting. Richard Benzie, P.E., Chief Field Operations Section Office of Drinking Water and Municipal Assistance, MDEQ 517-284-6512

FYI —| left a voicemail message and am awaiting a return call.

After discussing this matter with Kris Philip and others here in Lansing, | am planning to call Farough & Associates tomorrow to see if they will clarify their request. For those of you that have received this request for a water system in your district, we want to respond consistently. We need to know if they are primarily interested in LCR information, or are they requesting additional compliance data. A broad interpretation of their first bullet could imply they are looking for all correspondence related to compliance with the public water supply program and Act 399. We would also like to know what they mean by “water testing standards and protocols.” Is it just water testing protocols, or is it protocols for the PWSS program in general? | will let you know as soon as | get a response.

You probably already have this... FY

Nevermind..Sorry .. | just realized it was Thursday ©

Just a quick heads up that we are arranging a brown bag session for ODWMA employees in an attempt to explain what is happening with Flint. | know it is short notice, but we have reserved the ConCon Room for Thursday at 11:00 AM. We will provide a call-in option for district offices. Hopefully, at least some staff from each district will participate and fill in those who cannot alter their schedules on short notice. More details about the call-in number will follow as we confirm arrangements and/or they become available. | wanted you to know as soon as we were able to reserve a room.

FYI This is where we will be Friday afternoon.

Are you in today? | need answers quickly on the number of lead service lines that may be in Dearborn Heights, Farmington Hills, and Westland. If you can find a number for Port Huron, that would be great. The attached spreadsheet was completed by looking at what was reported in the 2011 Needs Surveys. The first 3 systems above were not included in 2011 Needs Survey and their sanitary survey could not be located on the common drive. The list was originally compiled by selecting the communities serving over 50,000 in Michigan. | added the ones under 50,000 that were included in one or both of the last two Needs Surveys. Port Huron was included in the 2011 survey, but they wrote down “Not Available” for their number of lead service lines. If you have time, please check their sanitary survey too. | need these answers ASAP. Thanks. xxxEND_PAGE:deq04_b287_3611_3611_1

Hi Kris, Can you fill in the blanks in the last column for the number of lead service lines for Westland, Farmington Hills, and Dearborn Heights? Just have someone check their sanitary survey to see if they reported any lead service lines. | got these numbers from the 2011 Needs Surveys, although a few came from the 2007 survey if they didn’t participate in 2011. | know some have changed since then, but it gives an idea of what universe we are facing as far as lead service lines that may exist. | know Lansing reduced their number from about 12,000 in 2007 to just over 3,000 in 2011, and they may be well under 1,000 by now. But this data is the best we can do without asking someone to contact each system. Also, | didn’t record a lot of communities that had no lead service lines unless they were already on the list as communities for which there was some interest to know their status. Thanks for any assistance. Richard xxxEND_PAGE:deq04_b039_1892_1892_1

The attached letter provided the number of WP sites and the frequency, out did nat specify any ranges or limits. Did f miss sornething? is it because £PA told us that there did not have ta be distribution system mandates for WOPs?

This synthesis of state PWSS program activities can be lengthy but often has interesting tidbits. In this edition, | noted a few: e Some interesting things in both the Resources and DWSRF summary paragraphs. * Under implementation, some states noting problems arising with Stage 2 DBP monitoring results, especially in consecutive systems. « in Data Management, lots of complaining as usual. | also noted that a couple of states were moving away from EPA developed electronic sanitary survey software to a GEC developed SWIFT application. e Under Security and Data Management, one state is voicing concerns about giving any locational data to EPA that they cannot keep secure. Most states are going in the other direction — making the data more readily accessible. e Lots of Source Water stuff, including one state requiring above ground (chemical) storage tanks in Source Water Protection Areas to be registered. e Under “Hot Topics:” © Both Alabama and Florida are dealing with premise plumbing and secondary treatment system issues — Alabama issued their first construction permit to a hospital to install treatment to deter Legionella. o Severe and/or worsening drought issues in several states (you know what | tell them - come on back for a long, cool drink of water when you-all get thirsty!). o New York is developing a template for the “Value of Water” Brochure that would allow for the input of state or water system specific information. | am hoping we can utilize that brochure and/or that function in the upcoming drinking water week. o Washington state has returned to producing hard copies of their newsletter based on stakeholder feedback. Apparently, not everyone wants to use a smartphone to read their newsletters. © Wisconsin initiated a requirement for a HEAT EXCHANGE DRILLER’S LICENSE today — April 1%.
