LPA met with Site Manager, Alida Leon . LPAs explained the purpose of the visit. This Case Management visit for the ALE was carried out in conjunction with Preschool Facility #213001939. LPAs discussed the new Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018 requires the Lead Testing of water in the Child Care Center with the Site Manager during the inspection. All Child Care Centers that are located in buildings constructed before January 1, 2010, must have their water tested and post the results by January 1, 2023, and every 5 years after the date of the first testing. The facility received the ALE report from the Vendor on November 5th, 2022. Test results for this facility that exceeded a higher level of parts per billion (ppb) allowed, 5.5 ppb. The facility was proactive in getting facility faucets tested and putting signs indicating that the fixture is not for drinking and/or currently out of order. Per Manager, the affected fixture C (10) is a water fountain located outside one of the classrooms. The facility was not initially cited for the ALE during the case management visit on 2/7/2023 due to the affected fixture being blocked off and made unavailable for use. Due to updated guidance regarding the Written Directives for Lead Testing detailed in PIN 21-21.1-CCP , the facility must be cited for the ALE. However, the facility has removed the affected fixture completely and the citation given today will be cleared on the same day. See next page for deficiencies cited today. This report was reviewed and signed by Site Manager, Alida Leon. A Notice of Site Visit was provided to the Site Manager and must remain posted for 30 days.
