We are still trying to negotiate language in ACO the “Statement of Purpose” section that wil appease both parties. They would like us to use the language in quotations below. The revised language does not force connection to KWA, and instead allows other options. As we have stated in the past construction permits will be necessary for the connection to KWA and construction permits are also necessary to allow the Flint WTP to operate on a continuous (non-emergency basis} regardless of source. if this language will not be acceptable | need to know and will need to discuss how what we would want to adjust. The last ACO draft is attached for reference. Stephen Busch, PE. Lansing and Jackson District Supervisor Ciffice of Drinking Water and Municipal Assistance MBEOQ 447-643-2314

Date: Thursday, May 23, 2013 11:33:35 AM FYI. If we are to comment, | would expect it to be the LCR experts and plumbing board members that would have insights into the issues that need further clarification. Brock, would you please coordinate any comments Michigan may wish to offer. Anyone else that has a comment should send them to Brock to compile. | don’t think we have to comment, but if we have something to say or something we wish EPA will address, we should do so even if others are saying it. EPA is more likely to respond when many comments are received on an issue. | know one of the biggest issues concerning the waterworks/plumbing industry is whether meter maintenance after January 3, 2014 will require that the entire meter be replaced with one that meets the new definition of lead free or if only those components that are being replaced must meet the new definition. If this document doesn’t address that issue or doesn’t satisfy us, we may want to comment.
