Lead safety check·August 17, 2023

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Cortney Nelson, met with Child Development Coordinator, Vanessa Garcia, and explained purpose of visit- to follow-up on water lead testing conducted for the facility. LPA was admitted into the facility by Site Director, Maria "Lupe" Fernandez, and requested Vanessa identify faucet with Action Level Exceedance (value of 5.5 parts per billion or greater). LPA received the following documents via email from Vanessa on 8/10/2023: Self-Certification (LIC9275) completed by Certified External Water Sampler, Sampling Checklist Form (LIC9276), and Facility Sketch (LIC999) labeled with locations of water outlets. Paper copies of the documents were additionally provided to the LPA during todays inspection. Water sample was conducted by Central Coast Lead Inspection Services on 7/26/2023 and the report indicated that faucet "F" had Action Level Exceedance value of 5.8. The faucet is located in the kitchen and is one of the faucets for the dish washing sink. The facility has remediated faucet "F" by fully replacing faucet on 8/8/2023 and it is currently made inaccessible until water lead testing is redone . Vanessa states that the facility is completing 30 second flushes four times per day for 21 days on faucet "F" until retesting can be done. LPA observed that the faucet has a bag covering the end of the faucet, so it will not be used. Vanessa states that the faucet will be retested and she will submit retesting results to Licensing upon completion. The date for retesting is currently unknown, however Vanessa states that she estimates it will be completed sometime in early September. LPA requested that Vanessa let Licensing know when she has a confirmed date for the faucet retesting. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Child Development Coordinator, Vanessa Garcia. As a result of todays inspection, a deficiency was cited, see 809-D. A NOTICE OF SITE VISIT WAS GIVEN AND MUST REMAIN POSTED FOR 30 DAYS. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
