One of our stakeholders has identified inaccurate information on the EPA web site (see below). The study that
supports the 1991 rule is still the scientific basis for the estimate of 20% or more contribution from drinking water
of total lead exposure. We need to ensure that the information on the agency's web site and in materials is correct.
We've identified two web sites at HQ that we are revising. I need your assistance in identifying and revising the
incorrect information in other places.
1) EPA web sites that incorrectly state "up to 20%"
2) Brochures, factsheets, etc that incorrectly state "up to 20%"
Please complete corrections to web sites as soon as possible. We will compile a list of materials and develop a plan
with you for making corrections to other materials. If you have questions or concerns please contact Jeff Kempic.
Thank you in advance -
Lisa
