Critics say EPA allowing more time to fix lead-tainted water

By Ellen Knickmeyer, Associated Press Writer

The Trump administration overhauled the country’s widely criticized, 29-year-old framework to eliminate toxic lead from drinking water on Tuesday last week, but critics charge that the new rule gives utilities far more time than before to finally replace old, lead-contaminated pipes.

The new rules come six years after the Flint, Michigan, water crisis highlighted ongoing, dangerous exposure of children and others in the city to the neurotoxin in drinking water, and the failures of officials on all levels to adequately protect local families at the time.

As 2020 winds down, we asked staff members at Wisconsin Sea Grant what their favorite project was this year. Although work was a bit more challenging than usual due to our altered work circumstances, everyone managed to stay productive, and even find fulfillment. Although Sharon Moen, our Eat Wisconsin Fish outreach specialist, hasn’t been working here that long, she wanted to contribute to this blog series.

Sharon said, “I dissected the Eat Wisconsin Fish initiative soon after I was hired to manage it in November. Laying the innards out on the metaphorical table and studying their functions informed strategies for working with commercial fishers, fish farmers and the public in 2021. Eat Wisconsin Fish activities support food security, economic and environmental health, and the overall well-being of the people of Wisconsin.”

Starting on or around January 4 and lasting two to three weeks, a helicopter towing a large hoop from a cable will begin making low-level flights over northeast Wisconsin between Calumet and Door counties.

The low-flying helicopter will collect and record geophysical measurements as part of a U.S. Geological Survey project to improve below-ground geologic maps. Scientists will use data collected during the survey to map shallow bedrock and glacial sediments in parts of Door, Kewaunee, Brown, Manitowoc, Calumet, Sheboygan and Fond du Lac counties. The maps will help the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources develop new water-quality and land-use standards.

A low-flying helicopter towing a geophysical device collects scientific data on groundwater and geology.

The helicopter will fly in a grid pattern relatively low to the ground, hundreds of feet above the surface. A sensor that resembles a large hula-hoop will be towed beneath the helicopter to measure tiny electromagnetic signals that can be used to map features below Earth’s surface. Survey flight lines will be separated by a half mile, so the helicopter system will only be visible from any particular location for a short period of time.

The USGS is contracting with SkyTEM ApS, a specialty airborne geophysical company, to conduct the survey. The helicopter will be operated by experienced pilots from Sinton Helicopters who are specially trained for the low-level flying required for geophysical surveys. The company works with the FAA to ensure flights are safe and in accordance with U.S. law.

The USGS-led study is being conducted in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Wisconsin State Geological and Natural History Survey

This map shows the airborne geophysical survey area in northeast Wisconsin. Surveys will be conducted along a grid of lines within the green shaded area. Flights will not occur directly over populated areas. Planned flight lines and survey progress can be found online. (USGS map)
