Good morning Sarah:
It was great to see you again at the OKC meeting and I hope you are enjoying your week without appointments. We are very appreciative of Administrator reaching out to the local level and his commitments to clarity and simplify the WOTUS.
I also wanted to let you know that Mike Shapiro responded to an inquiry from Senator Barrasso regarding the allocation of the FY-17 technical assistance appropriation stating: "The EPA will use its authority under the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended by the Grassroots Rural and Small Community Water Systems Assistance Act, to fund through the RFA non profit organizations that can provide effective technical assistance for small and rural water systems." Hopefully the act will ensure the funding will go where it does the most good in assisting rural and small systems comply with the mandates of the SDWA, on-site technical assistance.
We appreciate your availability to discuss issue and anything we can do to support the Administrator's efforts, we are an e-mail or phone call away.
Sincerely,
Sam Wade National Rural Water Sam@nrwa.org Cell: [ Ex. 6
