HANSON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR To: Chief Elected Officials and Town Contact Persons for Municipalities Involved in the State Bottled Water Supply Program ,�GY I From: Mary Ellen Kowalewski , Director of Community Developmentrft Subject: Change in Bottled Water Vendor Date: June 20, 1986 This memorandum is to inform you that a new water company, the Triple Springs Spring Water Company of Meriden, Connecticut, has been selected to provide water to the 398 households served by the State Bottled Water Supply Program. Triple Springs will be contacting customers within the next two weeks to establish delivery schedules and will begin service on July 1 , 1986. As in the past, the first delivery date will vary between municipalities. As you are aware, the Capitol Region Council of Governments has been administering the State Bottled Water Supply Program since November 15, 1984. The current - customers served include 222 Capitol Region households and 176 households residing-outside the Region. Since the Program's inception, bottled water has been provided by the Poland Springs Water Company. As a condition of the Council 's 1986-1987 contract agreement with the State Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), CRCOG was required to conduct a bid invitation for vendors to supply bottled water during the 1986-1987 fiscal year. The bid opening was held on June 5, 1986 and the Triple Springs Water Company was selected as the water vendor for the July 1 , 1986 - June 30, 1987 period. After July 1 , 1986, any questions concerning the bottled water service itself, such as questions concerning household delivery schedules or changes in the quantity of water provided, should be directed to the Triple Springs Spring Water Company, 199 Ives Avenue, Meriden, Connecticut, 235-8374. General questions concerning the State Bottled Water Supply Program or reports of problems should be directed to me or Mila Limson at CRCOG, 522-2217. At this- time, we are also notifying households of the change .in water vendor. We are working closely with the DEP and the water companies to arrange a smooth transition from the present vendor to Triple Springs.

HANSON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO: CHIEF ELECTED OFFICIALS AND TOWN CONTACT PERSONS FOR MUNICIPALITIES INVOLVED IN THE STATE BOTTLED WATER SUPPLY PROGRAM FROM: MARY ELLEN KOWALEWSKI , DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ft�— SUBJECT: TIME EXTENSION OF BOTTLED WATER SERVICE DATE: JUNE 19, 1985 This memorandum is to inform you that the State Bottled Water Supply Program has been extended. The Connecticut General Assembly has passed and the Governor has signed legislation which extends bottled water service until measures to provide long-term solutions are completed in your community. Enclosed is the letter mailed to households currently receiving bottled water to inform them of the program extension. We are also mailing you a copy of the legisla- tion, Public Act No. 85-407, which provides for this extension_. Public Act No. 85-407 empowers the State Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to require responsible parties to provide potable drinking water to those whose wells are contaminated. The Commissioner of DEP may issue an order to the person or municipality responsible for the pollution requiring that party to provide Potable drinking water on a short-term basis and develop a long-term water supply system or method. In cases where the polluter cannot be identified or has insufficient assets to provide potable drinking water, an order may be issued to the municipality whose groundwater is contaminated. The bill goes on to set up a grant program to assist municipalities in complying with the requirements of an order. The Office of Legislative Research has summarized the grant program as follows: Under this bill , municipalities not responsible for the contamination would be eligible for a grant covering: (1 ) 100% of the cost of short- term provision of potable water, (2) 100% of the engineering report costs, (3) between 50% and 75% of the cost of capital improvements for long-term provision of potable water, and (4) between 50% and 750 of the cost of monitoring and maintaining individual water treatment systems during the year following installation. The exact percentage of funding for capital improvements and monitoring and maintenance would be based on the town 's wealth relative to other towns. Grants for capital improvements would be only for the most cost-effective method of providing long-term drinking water as determined by the DEP and health commissioners after considering the engineering report.

The DEP will inform Chief Elected Officials directly concerning application procedures.

Watts of East Windsor thought that the Policy Board might be interested in t ached description.of EDB. EDB is obviously becoming a major contaminating problem throughout Connecticut. The attached information was passed out by representatives from the State Health Department at a recent informational meeting in East 1.4indsor. The contact people at the State Health Department are Peter Galbraith and Beth Weinstein. i t DSH:sr Attachment is N r A VOLUNTARY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS FORMED TO INITIATE AND IMPLEMENT REGIONAL PROGRAMS OF BENEFIT TO THE TOWNS AND THE REGION, r: 1 R '1 1 Ethylene Dibromide (EDB) 1,2-Dibromoethane EDB.has been widely used for 40 years. Most of it went into regular gasoline as a lead scavenger. EDB has been registered for use as a pesticide since 1948 and is regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. It's principal agricultural use is for soil fumigation. It has been used to protect such crops as citrus, pineapple, soy bean, cotton, nuts and tobacco frcar root worms. EDB is also used to fumigate citrus and other fruits and vegetables after harvest to prevent the spread of tropical fruit flies, and to fumigate stored grain and grain milling machinery to prevent insect infestation. Initially, EDB was not detectable in food. Only recently, EDB was discovered in ground water in California, Florida and Hawaii. Many states have not begun to look for it in water. Connecticut's officials from the Departments of Consumer Protection, Health, Environmental Protection and Agriculture reviewed all possible uses of EDB in Connecticut and decided to survey tobacco fields to identify any potentially contaminated water suTplies. EDB can be found in food. State Health Ccamtissioner Dr. Douglas Lloyd has appointed a national task force of the nation's health officers to expedite the process of ccmpletely eliminating EDB from the food system. EDB can be found in the air as a result of its use in gasoline. EDB is now being found in underground water systems. r r in the mid-1970s, the federal government first became aware of potential adverse health effects associated with IDB. The federal government has not provided any standards for acceptable levels of IDB in water, air or food. They have provided suggested guidelines for food. on an interim basis, Connecticut has adopted these guidelines with one exception. No IDB will be tolerated in infant food. The tobacco industry has utilized IDB as a soil fumigant. It was injected six inches into the ground at .a rate of six gallons per acre. The Department of Environmental Protection has identified 166 fields at 30 different sites in seven towns where IDB had been applied. In the absence of a federal standard, Connecticut has analyzed information available and consulted with health experts around the country. An interim standard of .1 parts per billion (ppb) has been established for drinking water. Any drinking water supply at or above >l .ppb should not be used for -drinking or cooking. Current evidence indicates that, at the levels being discovered, water can be used for bathing, washing dishes and laundry. The State of Connecticut will assist in the process of identifying parties responsible for contaminating wells. Health Effects The danger to humans from low-level, long term exposure is not yet clear because no reliable epidemiological studies are available. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, animal studies demonstrate that IDB is highly toxic. Experiments show that the chemical causes cancer, gene mutations, and reproductive damage in a variety of 1 animal species. Adequate information does not exist, and the State of Connecticut has called on the federal government to do additional ingestion and inhalation studies. Health risks for humans can be calculated based on information from animal studies; however, there are many uncertainties involved.

Ethylene Dibromide t IDB) 1,2-Dibromoethane EDB.has been widely used for 40 years. Most of it went into regular gasoline as a lead scavenger. IDB has been registered for use as a pesticide since 1948 and is regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. It's principal agricultural use is for soil fumigation. It has been used to protect such crops as citrus, pineapple, soy bean, cotton, nuts and tobacco frcr, root worms. IDB is also used to fumigate citrus and other fruits and vegetables after harvest to prevent the spread of tropical fruit flies, and to fumigate stored grain and grain milling machinery to prevent insect infestation. Initially, EDB was not detectable in food. Only recently, IDB was discovered in ground water in California, Florida and Hawaii. Many states have not begun to look for it in water. Connecticut's officials from the Departments of Consumer Protection, Health, Environmental Protection and Agriculture reviewed all possible uses of IDB in Connecticut and decided to survey tobacco fields to identify any potentially coat-Lmi ated water supplies. IDB can be found in food. State Health Commissioner Dr. Douglas Lloyd has appointed a national task force of the nation's health officers to expedite the process of oLrrpletely eliminating IDB from the food system. IDB can be found in the air as a result of its use in gasoline. IDB is now being found in underground water systems. In the mid-1970s, the federal government first became aware of potential adverse health effects associated with IDB. The federal government has not provided any standards for acceptable levels of IDB in water, air or food. They have provided suggested guidelines for food. On an interim basis, Connecticut has adopted these guidelines with one exception. No IDB will be tolerated in infant food. The tobacco industry has utilized IDB as a soil fumigant. It was injected six inches into the ground at a rate of six gallons per acre. The Department of Environmental Protection has identified 166 fields at 30 different sites in seven towns where IDB had been applied. In the absence of a federal standard, Connecticut has analyzed information available and consulted with health experts around the country. An interim standard of .1 parts per billion (ppb) has been established for drinking water. Any drinking water supply at or above, .1 ppb should not be used for 'drinking or cooking. Current evidence indicates that, at the levels being discovered., water can be used for bathing, washing dishes and laundry. The State of Connecticut will assist in the process of identifying parties responsible for contaminating wells. Health Effects The danger to humans from low-level, long tern exposure is not yet clear because no reliable epidemiological studies are available. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, animal studies demonstrate that IDB is highly toxic. Experiments show that the chemical causes cancer, gene mutations, and reproductive damage in a variety of s ° s animal species. Adequate information does not exist, and the State of Connecticut has called on the federal government to do additional ingestion and inhalation studies. Health risks for humans can be calculated based on information from animal studies; however, there are many uncertainties involved. These calculated risks can be compared with risk to health incurred from other environmental carcinogens such as saccharin, smoking, and benzene from gasoline: Specific laboratory tests of blood, serum, and tissue for IDB are available only in an experimental setting. With the low level exposures at the levels we are concerned about in your well water, these experimental tests could not be considered valid. Given the national attention to IDB, and the probability that other states will discover it in their water, it is expected that additional information will became available.

The list of households eligible to receive bottled water is provided to CRCOG by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) . It will be updated on an ongoing basis. Businesses are not eligible to participate in this program. QUANTITY OF WATER TO BE PROVIDED: One gallon per person per day (eg. a four-person household will receive four gallons of water per day) . LENGTH OF SERVICE: Through June 30, 1985. The 1985 Connecticut General Assembly is currently considering legislation which would extend bottled water service until recommended long term solutions are in place. It is anticipated that this legislation will be acted on prior to June 30, 1985• HOW THE PROGRAM WILL WORK CRCOG Will : 1 . Select the water company which will deliver bottled water, and execute a contract with the company by November 15, 1984. A contract has been executed with the Poland Spring Natural Spring Water Co. of Meriden , CT (1-800-382-2231 ) . 2.

GOVERNOR' S OFFICE For Further Information: FOR RELEASE Larrye deBear 566-4840 3 P.M. , THURSDAY 667-8171 (H) NOVEMBER 1, 1984 GOVERNOR O'NEILL ANNOUNCES COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM TO DEAL WITH CONTAMINATION OF DRINKING WATER SUPPLIES IN CONNECTICUT Governor Bill O'Neill today announced a five-point program to deal with contamination of drinking water supplies in Connecticut. "At my direction, officials of four state agencies began working on this extremely complex issue earlier this year, ",, Governor O'Neill said. "Water supply contamination is not a problem that lends itself to easy and quick solutions. However, I am confident that this program, which is the result of this thorough and painstaking work, will meet the challenge. " The program includes: *** `State-funded supply of bottled drinking water to approximately 225 households whose water supply has been contamined with pesticides or solvents, where the state has been unable to identify those responsible for the contamination, with the supply to be provided through March 15, 1985; *** A request from Governor O'Neill to . State Attorney General Joseph I. Lieberman to provide the state Department of Environmental Protection with the necessary legal resources to pursue appropriate legal action against the parties responsible for contamination of drinking water supplies; ***--Development of additional legislation and related funding measures, to be submitted to the 1985 General Assembly, to provide for more permanent solutions to the problem of drinking water contamination; *** Appointment by Governor O'Neill in the very near future _of -a Task Force on Pesticides to provide a comprehensive assessment of the problem, along with specific recommendations ' in such areas as liability, property values and educational needs; and *** Establishment of an advisory group within the Department of Health Services, by Commissioner Douglas Lloyd, to recommend standards for toxic substances in drinking water. -- 30 -- (SEE ATTACHED STATEMENT BY GOVERNOR O'NEILL) 2 - Obviously, this special, four-month program is not a permanent solution to the problem of contaminated water supplies . We' do have legislation and programs in place that address the problem substantially, and these must be strictly enforced. With this in mind, I have sent a letter to Attorney General Lieberman asking him to provide the DEP with the necessary legal resources to pursue appropriate legal action against the responsible parties. However, I am concerned that current legislation falls short of meeting our entire need in -this area, in particular, the need to foster, encourage and support cooperation between state and local governments to meet this challenge. I have therefore directed the DEP, Health Services and the Office of Policy and Management to expedite their study of the problem of contamination of our drinking water supplies. Based 'on their input, I intend to ask the 1985 General Assembly to approve additional legislation and related funding measures. I will also establish, in the very near future, a Task Force on Pesticides. It will be composed of scientists, agricultural, environmental and health specialists, applicators, water utility representatives, elected officials and concerned citizens. The Task Force will work -closely with our state agencies, and will provide me with' a comprehensive assessment of the problem, along with specific recommendations' in such areas as liability, property values and educational needs. Finally, Health Services Commissioner Doug Lloyd is asking for the establishment within his department of an advisory group to recommend standards for toxic substances in drinking water. I have told him to establish this group as soon as possible, and to draw on the best available scientific expertise. Our people have a right to know when their fears about drinking water are justified and, also, when there is no cause for -alarm. I am very proud that Connecticut has long been in the forefront of progressive environmental leadership and, - in particular, in clean water legislation. The steps I have outlined this afternoon continue that tradition. The protection of our environment is a matter of public health and safety that clearly cannot, and will not be ignored. The problem of contaminated drinking water supplies in Connecticut is not a major environmental disaster, but if you are one of the limited number of people whose drinking water supply has been contaminated, it is a disaster, and I will not ignore it. At my direction, officials of four state agencies began working on this extremely complex issue earlier this year. Water supply contamination is not a problem that lends itself to easy and quick solutions. However, I am confident that this program, which is the result of this thorough and painstaking work, will meet the challenge. more - Statement by. Governor Bill O'Neill : In recent months, a growing number of water supplies around our state have been found to be contaminated by pesticides such as EDB and Vorlex and by solvents. Although the number of affected households is relatively small, I am deeply troubled by this potential threat to the health and safety of our people. I recently visited several communities where this problem has developed. Believe me, I understand the fear and the anger of perfectly innocent homeowners who had no way of knowing that they had purchased much more than a home in which to live and raise a family. Based on what I have seen and my conversations with some of the affected individuals, it is clear to me that we must act now, before the arrival of bail weather, to make sure that these households have safe and adequate water supplies while permanent solutions are being developed. The primary responsibility for dealing with this contamination rests with those who were responsible for it in the first place. Indeed, under the environmental laws of our state, those responsible have a legal as well as a moral obligation to do just that. In those cases where our Departments of Environmental Protection and Health Services have been able to identify the responsible parties, there has been general cooperation in providing short term and permanent remedies. Unfortunately, ' there are approximately 225 households where, to date, we have been unable to identify those responsible for contaminating the water supply. Under these circumstances, I believe that the State of Connecticut must help our municipalities provide relief to those households. I am therefore directing the Department of Environmental Protection, in cooperation with the Department of Health Service's, to implement immediately a relief program. This - - will provide bottled water to households whose drinking water supplies have been contaminated, and where we have been unable to identify the responsible parties, or have those parties provide potable water. The state will pick up the entire cost of the bottled water program, estimated at less than $100,000, and we will draw the money from our Emergency Spill Response Fund. I want to emphasize that this is a temporary, one-time measure, and that it will cover a 120 day period ending next March 15 . I have directed the DEP to complete all necessary administrative arrangements within the next two weeks. At the same time, I have directed the DEP and Health Services to redouble their efforts to identify those responsible for the contamination, and to transfer to those parties the cost of temporary and permanent relief, where it properly belongs. more - 3 - Incidentally, we did write to the federal Environmental Protection Agency last August 7 , asking that federal Superfund dollars be made available to help address this problem. Seven and a-half weeks later, on September 28 , we finally got a letter back from the regional office in Boston saying that the matter would be referred to Washington. As of this afternoon, five weeks after that response, we have not heard anything from Washington. However, we in Connecticut are not going to wait for the federal government to decide whether this program is important enough to the health and safety of our people. We will move ahead immediately. -- 30 -- 1F 7 t� G • z CAPITOL REGION COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS cr-cog c� 214 MAIN STREET — HARTFORD, CONK. 06106 �o� Tel. 20.3 522-22.17 ERIVMFNTs DANA S.
