Re: November MOR

We have a few media inquiries asking if we have received a response to our letter. | know you are still working on figuring out if we have everything we need, but I'd like to get them an interim response. Is this accurate? Can | say within a few weeks, or how long do you think it will be before you've gone through the data? Finally, is Nov. 9 the correct date of our letter? | don't have it in front of me. The DEQ has received a response to our Nov. 9 letter to the city, and staff is in the process of reviewing the information and communicating with the city on any follow-up questions. We hope to have more information to share within a few weeks, and we will get it to you as soon as we can.

Date: Wednesday, December 09, 2015 2:47:17 PM FYI. Flint’s additional corrosion control inhibitor feed is now up and running. As a reminder this is on top of the corrosion inhibitor already present in the water purchased from DWSD. Stephen Busch, P.E.

RE: Attached -- Task Force Comments on Residential Sampling Protocol

See all emails with these participants
Attached for your review is EBL water protocol with revisions made in response to EPA comments 2 through 8. Regarding comment #1: some of the issues raised by EPA will be addressed by the GCHD nurse case managers (e.g., filter maintenance). Other issues are difficult to address in the context of the protocol. For example, the timing of exposure relative to an elevated blood test and subsequent EBL investigation will vary between children and will be difficult to identify in most cases. In addition, it’s unlikely that most Flint homes would have been using a water filter prior to Oct 1, 2015. Given the limitations and the need to identify and abate relevant exposures as quickly as possible, the best we can do is measure current lead levels in unfiltered tap water as a proxy for past exposures. | need to share this with our contractors and oversight staff so the changes can be implemented. Please let me know ASAP if you have concerns. Linda

Date: Monday, December 07, 2015 10:11:16 AM Thanks Jim. | think we can make the recommended changes to the sampling steps, provided DEQ is willing to and can provide wide-mouth bottles. The response to comment #1 is somewhat complex and will vary depending on when an EBLL was reported. Does DEQ plan to respond or should HHS take the lead? Linda

DRAFT Lead and Copper Sampling Instructions

See all emails with these participants
Updated lead and copper sampling instructions for residents/customers. We have modified our instructions to address concerns raised. We have not vetted this through any district staff to see if they have any other recommendations. This could be done concurrently with EPA’s review. xxxEND_PAGE:deq15_b768_2732_2732_1
