NATIONAL PRIORITY SITES The Region 4 Emergency Response program coordinated to remove three drums, prior to the arrival of Irma, at Anodyne, Inc. Superfund Site containing Investigation Derived Waste (IDW) generated during a recent sampling event. The Region 4 Remedial program has completed rapid assessment of all 90 remedial sites within the state of Florida. Follow up information gathering on four sites identified as medium to high risk resulted in following: 1. Cabot Koppers and Airco Plating Company are groundwater remediation sites, and the vulnerability was identified as a disruption in pump and treat should flooding occur. 2. Tyndall Air Force Base was determined to be low vulnerability as it is still in the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) stage (no remediation occurring). 3. Homestead Air Force Base was rated as high due to potential for structural damage (similar to what occurred during Andrew in 1992), not National Priority List (NPL) component of site. The Superfund Division plans to perform field assessments at all NPL sites in the State of Florida. FINANCE The EPA Region 4 received a Direct Federal Assistance MA for $525,000 to perform facility assessment in Florida after the storm makes landfall. r The USCG received a $150,000 MA to support the EPA Region 4 ESF-10 activities.

For the time being, the regional PAD will continue to keep the existing webpage updated. It is possible that we may migrate the information from this site to a main EPA (drupal) site, but we are awaiting further discussions with HQ OPA. In the meantime, we will do what we can to post for and support Region 4 content along with our own content. This will get complicated once we start producing data, so we are working on a longer-term plan. Community Involvement: Two CICs are being deployed - one on Monday to Puerto Rico and one on Tuesday to USVI. Two more people have been requested for community involvement work to partner with PAD staff, partly due to safety considerations. One person has been identified and will deploy to USVI on Tuesday and a fourth is being identified to accompany the CIC deployed to Puerto Rico. 2 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00001569-00002 Public Inquiries: CEPD helped PAD get the proper numbers for general public inquiries. Non-emergency (non 9-1-1) calls from the general public will be directed to two numbers in PR and USVI. We will also post this information to our website. For complaints, tips, or information requests, please contact: o Puerto Rico Emergency Management and Disaster Administration Agency (AEMEAD): 787-724-0124 o Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency (VITEMA): 340-774 2244 We will track calls coming in to the EPA either through our 800 number (answered in Edison) or through CEPD, PAD or ORA. We have a tracking sheet, which will be distributed today. Media Inquiries: A news release was issued on 9/10/17. We expect to issue at least one news release a day as we move into the future and we will be speaking to OPA about a long term strategy, including discussing whether we continue to issue one release for the entire hurricane response, or whether we divide the Irma response releases into Caribbean and Southeast US releases. Reporters are directed to email their inquiries to press@epa.gov.

DRINKING WATER / WASTEWATER 7 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00001569-00007 Puerto Rico Drinking Water Status: As of 730 AM on 9/11/17, 61,980 PRASA service connections are without drinking water. Each service connection serves 3 people (estimate). PRASA serves 96% of the PR population (3,411,000 in 2016). We estimate 185,940 people are without drinking water from PRASA, mostly in the north/metro region. The total PR PRASA population without drinking water is 61,980 out of 3,274,560 (96% of 3,411,0000) which represents 5.68 %. This doesn't include the non-PRASA systems which account for 4% of the PR population. PR remains under a boil water notice. PRDOH is back to functionality and is going to start the coordination of inspections to check operational status of the drinking water systems. CEPD/CWD Water Support Group in the REOC should coordinate with PRDOH in order to avoid duplication of effort. PRASA: All PRASA waste water treatment plants are in service. PREPA: All PREPA waste water treatment plants are in service. USVI Drinking Water Status: No new updates. REGULATED FACILITIES The Regulated Facility Team (RFT) continues to receive email and telephone responses to EPA's post-Irma facility damage, oil spill, and chemical release assessment efforts. As facility personnel begin obtaining access to their facilities, they continue to report no spills, no chemical releases, and no upset conditions. High risk facilities in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, such as Puma, Limetree Bay, PRASA, and WAPA have reported no significant damage to their oil and/or chemical operations. The RFT has contacted the VI DPNR and provided a brief update on the status of major oil and chemical facilities that have responded to the post-impact damage assessment/oil spill/chemical release mass email and phone calls.

The RSF Coordinator will be at the JFO this week to provide input to the recovery effort. EPA Office of Emergency Management Director Reggie Cheatham, Carl Edlund, Dan Opalski and 0MB Budget Manager Jodi Beringer will tour EPA's command post, the Houston laboratory, the TAGA mobile laboratory and the San Jacinto Waste Pits Superfund site today. EPA Environmental Justice Director Arturo Blanco will travel to Houston/Galveston today, Port Arthur on Tuesday and Alabama-Coushatta tribe on Wednesday. EPA will update community environmental justice advocates via conference call on Tuesday. TCEQ/EPA will meet with environmental advocates in Austin on Tuesday. EPA continues make contact with the remaining 18 counties regarding private water well testing and our research indicates that private well testing is available across the state for a nominal fee. EPA has confirmed 21 of the 39 disaster declaration counties are currently providing private well testing for area residents. Texas Department of State Health Services also offer bacteria testing for $28 through the state lab. The TCEQ website provides public information and a list ofNELAP Accredited Labs for well owners to analyze water samples for a fee. Community Liaisons (CLs) are assisting citizens of impacted counties by providing information about dealing with the environmental hazards of returning to flood damaged homes as well as obtaining input about other challenges or concerns. The Houston Branch and the Port Arthur/Beaumont Branch will both begin collection and staging of recovered orphan containers today. Corpus Christi Branch expects to complete activities within the next week. Houston Branch is projected to complete these activities within 30 days and Port Arthur/Beaumont Branch within 20 days. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00001570-00001  As EPA prepares to complete Emergency Support Function (ESF-10) activities in several counties, we are developing a standardized procedure to formally document transition to State and local officials. EPA will complete sampling of the 34 Superfund sites in Texas potentially impacted by the storm by Wednesday, September 13, 2017. Preliminary analytical results should be available by Friday, September 16, 2017. A communications plan is being developed to ensure that public messaging will be delivered as soon possible once preliminary data is received. EPA continues to hear reports that the New York Times is sampling Superfund sites. EPA is preparing a plan and schedule to complete sampling of the nine Superfund sites in Louisiana that were potentially impacted by the storm. State and Federal aerial assets continued mosquito control spraying operations in Aransas, San Patricio, Kleberg, Jackson, Dewitt and Lavaca counties during the evening hours of September 10, 2017. PUBLIC AFFAIRS The EPA liaison to the City of Houston Mayor's Office completed coordination with officials from the Mayor's Office of Public Safety and Homeland Security at the city's Emergency Operations Center. No new concerns or issues were raised. The liaison will demobilize and return to Dallas today. Community Liaison (CL) teams traveled to six counties to meet with emergency managers and residents. They provided educational materials regarding dealing with the environmental hazards of returning to flooded areas and home. CLs also collected feedback on environmental and health challenges of particular concern to the residents. One emergency manager mentioned that EPA was the first federal agency to contact them. DEBRIS RECOVERY EPA's representative at the JFO indicates that the state is currently assessing its capacity to manage debris collections and disposal. While we do not expect to receive a direct mission assignment for this work, it is possible that EPA may get tasked to assist with field observation of collection and segregation activities, and oversight of landfill operations. AIR MONITORING The four EPA air quality technical specialists deployed to Houston conducted total volatile organic compounds (VOC) area monitoring with the TAGA mobile laboratory. They monitored in the Manchester area, Lawndale Rd near Lyondell Basell, and on N. Witter St. between Pasadena Refining Systems Inc. (PRSI) and Kinder Morgan's Pasadena Terminal. The team detected benzene below levels of concern at all three locations. Additional monitoring will continue, in an effort to identify the source. Weather conditions permitting, the TAGA will monitor around additional facilities, not yet monitored. Monitoring is planned for the following facilities by the TAGA: Huntsman, Eco 2 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00001570-00002 Services Operations, Goodyear, Flint Hills Resources - Houston Chemical Plant, and the TPC Group - Houston Plant.
