Contacted By: | DANIELS, BRAD (DWP) | ||
Contact Method/Location: | Office | ||
Assistance Type: | ENFORCEMENT | ||
Reasons: | Arsenic Lead or Copper |
||
Details: | SUMMARY: Discuused civil penalty, contested case hearing, and outstanding administrative order. DETAILS: Mike called to notify me that the laboratory was correcting the information on the lead and copper sampling results that were submitted Monday. He stated that he was writing a letter requesting a hearing so that we might enter into a settlement regarding the civil penalty assessed on September 30. He also mentioned that he was investigating arsenic treatment systems he could install because he might not qualify for the loan. I returned Mikes call and clarified that when he and I spoke on October 5, we agreed that his lead and copper results needed to be submitted by October 10. Regardless of when the results were submitted, the sample report identifies that the samples came from a different water system, and cannot be accepted in their current form. I informed Mike that the under the circumstances, the State would not be able to enter into a settlement regarding the $250 civil penalty. I told Mike that he is still within his rights to request a hearing, and he can argue his case regarding the penalty to an administrative judge. Mike expressed his frustration at the difficulties in dealing with different government organizations as he tries to decide on and install an arsenic treatment system. Lastly, I told Mike that we still need to address the outstanding administrative order by having him request an extension in writing. ACTION NEEDED: Mike Brown should fax a request for a hearing to the Drinking Water Program by 5:00 PM today. Also, fax or mail a request for an extension to the administrative order specifying what he has done, what actions he is going to take to comply with the MCL for arsenic, and when he expects the process to be complete. I explained that the report from Brad Carr of HBH Consulting Engineers is not sufficient to serve as an extension request. |
