If “they” are proposing changes fo the statue for Flint | don’t think 324.5404 (1) is the biggest issec. Flint does own one of the water supplics discussed, I dont know that the language in that section preclides Flint from applying for DWRF. If this in tact did preclude them from applying then how/why was the lead serviee line guidanes created in the first place? £ don’t believe Chip/Wendy would write guidance that would contradict the status. [ tecl the bigger barrier is the language in 324 3409(1 }(d}. This section states that Flmt would have the legal capability to operatic and maintain the project (se below}. Typically | don’t think municipalities have the authority to operate and mamiain the service lines bevond the valve or stub to mehvidual homes. id} A certification bv on authorised representative of the water supplier affirming that the supplier has the legal. institutional, technical, financial, and managerial capability to build, operate, and mountain the project Kelly Greew @ 517.284.5409

Date: Monday, April 06, 2015 3:59:00 PM There were a number of questions this morning during our SMT meeting about what is new in Flint. I’m proposing to include the following paragraph in the SMT summary. Please let me know if you have concerns or think we need to add additional information. ODWMA shared that we are still working with and following the situation in the city of Flint. It was reported that the city council voted to return to water supplied by DWSD. However, the emergency manager and the mayor indicated that they will be continuing to use the Flint River. DEQ staff continues to provide oversight to ensure that water provided by the city of Flint meets drinking water standards. As a result of elevated trihalomethane (TTHM) levels last summer, the city continues to exceed the locational running annual average for TTHMs at one sampling site. However, all samples this quarter were low. It appears that operational changes implemented by the plant are managing previous water quality concerns. On another note, the city has requested U.S. EPA provide principal forgiveness for past low-interest SRF (State Revolving Fund) loans and DWRF (Drinking Water Revolving Fund) loans. We are awaiting an official response from EPA. Liane
