Lead safety check·November 16, 2023

Due to required lead testing requirements, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs), Aman Sharma and Justin Giese conducted a Case Management inspection based on lead testing results received on the facility. LPAs toured the facility, took census and met with Director, Kimberly Frederique to further discuss lead results received and measures taken for remediation of lead exceedances. During the inspection, LPAs toured and obtained photos of the following water outlets identified with lead exceedances: Outlet A (9.4 ppb) located in the administrative office, used for an isolation room during the time a child is showing signs of illness. The faucet in outlet A is not a drinking faucet and water is not used for water consumption, and only utilized for hand washing. LPAs observed required signage posted at outlets for cessation of use. Facility implemented remediation via faucet change and will be re-tested. Director has covered water outlet A and posted signage for non use. Facility is currently in process for remediation. LPA observed notification of lead results posted at the facility front reception. Facility has access to additional water resources: children bring their own water bottles from home and are offered water bottles from the facility. Due to facility water outlets not being a drinking water facet, there are no citations during todays inspection. Additionally, the following resources were discussed and provided: PIN 21-21.1-CCP dated December 28, 2022. An exit interview was conducted, and appeal rights were discussed. LPAs Sharma and Giese provided Director, Kimberly Frederique with a copy of this report, appeal rights and notice of site visit. This report must be made available to the public upon request for the next three years.
