EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 2 ED 002061 00117196-00001 Help end the crisis in East Chicago Today wa would like to ask you for your support in our mission to help supply 29,000 residents of East Chicago with Alkaline water (electrolyzed reduced Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 2 ED 002061 00117196-00002 water). We would like to provide every home with a filter that will sustain the filtration of high amounts of lead, arsenic and other heavy metals. The Alkaline Water generating system will not only ensure that the residents are receiving clean water, but will also aid In the process of detoxification from heavy metals so that they can regain their normal health and wellbeing. I'm sure many of you have heard about the heart shattering news of Flint. Michigan and their water contamination crisis. Michigan Is now joined in the dubious catastrophie by yet another city just 25 miles east of downtown Chicago. East Chicago. Indiana's water lead contamination levels were reported to be shockingly nine times higher compared to Flint Michigan, yet received very little media attention. (1) The issue was first recognized in 1985. but kept quiet only until about a year ago. As a result, the residents along with their children, have been Ingesting this highly toxic water for over three decades and now the detrimental health affects are beginning to consume their lives. (2) East Chicago has the highest rate of miscarriages in the country, then cancer rates are exponentially using and their children have some of the lowest test scores reported. To try and minimize this tragedy, the Environmental Protection Agency, ERA has attempted to remedy this situation by replacing the pipelines and re-grounding the surrounding soli In these Superfund sites . This process will take years to accomplish, and the very limited attention towards their drinking water Is causing a sense of helplessness among the residents. The ERA still cannot say that the water is safe (6), and despite the water filters and water bottles provided by the IDEM (Indiana Department of Environment Management), unfortunately this effort Is not enough to improve the resident's health. (4) Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 2 ED 002061 00117196-00003 Since there has been limited focus aimed towards Improving the resident's wellbeing, and because It is cost prohibitive for small communities to mandate the ERA on water standards, we have taken It Into our hands to help our residents get the clean water they deserve. We believe that no human being should ever be subjected to illnesses or degenerative diseases due to governmental mishaps, and the lack of good, clean and healthy water 100% of your proceeds will go towards buying each residential home their own permanent Ajkjyjne W a t^ , along with tgur.repjacementfiiters that will provide them with ultimate hydration, but most importantly aid their bodies in the excretion of high amounts of lead and other toxic metals. We believe that there are many things In life people can worry about, but clean healthy water should certainly never be one of them. Sierra Club v.
