My apologies. I meant to include Portland's 2018 Annual Water Quality Report/CCR (90th%ile = 17.0 ppb, making it their 12th lead Action Level Exceedance since 1992). And, Portland's chronic history of detectable and elevated lead levels. 10th%ile levels generally increased (spring 2016) after Portland received EPA's clarification of recommended tap sampling (2/2016).

EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 12 g "'"""ivrote: ' ED 002061 00045303-00001 https://www.voutube.com/embed/zZlEsgHUO6s?start=828&end=1079 (length: 4 min) @13:46 - 17:59 After viewing this (and April's testimony below) - among other critical actions - is there anything EPA can do to urge our Water Commi ssioner-i n-charge: 1. to provide free filters and/or bottled water immediately to Portland's most vulnerable (pregnant, bottle-fed, young,etc), while the Water Bureau works to fix C CT, when the treatment and Crypto filtration plants are operational, which is many years away? I believe that under Mr. Fish's leadership of our drinking water for nearly 1 million people, deflecting regulatory responsibility, discrediting citizens, dampening public discourse, and delaying public health protection is indefensible. I look forward to your reply, and thank you for your efforts and time.

Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 12 ED 002061 00045303-00002 Hi Everyone, Nice meeting you all. To follow up. Below is a 1 week old video of a Portland resident raising concerns about the fact that Portland Oregon has never met the EPA LCR, and has never been required to optimize corrosion control, and they are STILL over the EPA action level. They have always been given a waiver by the state primacy agency, and for 20 years the Regional EPA office has looked the other way (despite repeated internal protests by excellent EPA employees). Notice the complete dismissal of the residents legitimate concerns by the water commissioner, and his refusal to even acknowledge the law is not being followed as we speak. I am cc'ing the two residents who have given up years of their lives on this issue, and one of whom is in the video. Every now and then it gets in the press that the law is not being followed, the primacy agency and EPA say they will finally act, and every time once the cameras leave Portland is allowed to do nothing. 2010: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC283 1942/ 2017: http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2017/02/portland water bureau changes.html 2016:http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2016/04/lead in the water why portland.html Best Regards, Marc https://youtu,be/J78 061kCoM?t= 1042 @ 17:22 - 22:02 Sierra Club v.
