Lead safety check·January 19, 2023

On 01/19/23, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Amy Strother made a case management inspection and met with Community Action Partnership \342\200\223 Director of Head Start, Lisa Grocott (D1). This facility is currently on inactive status, effective 08/01/22, therefore no children are present. The inspection was made in response to water lead testing results received from the California State Water Resource Control Board. The test results showed that the following faucets tested above the allowable level 5.0 parts per billion (ppb) of lead in the water: Sample Site \342\200\234E\342\200\235, a handwashing faucet in the classroom had a reading of 18 ppb and sample site \342\200\234F\342\200\235 another hand washing faucet in the classroom, a reading of 12 ppb. On 01/05/23 Facilities Manager, Doug Pettit (M1) submitted the testing results to LPA Strother via email, stating that he is currently working on replacing the two faucets, with plans of re-testing. Due to the facilities current inactive status, no children have access to faucets. Facility hasn't posted testing results and/or notified parents or guardians due to the fact that no children are enrolled or attending at this time. On 01/12/23 LPA Strother received the following documents in an email from M1; External Water Sampling Self-Certification Form (LIC 9275), Child Care Center Sampling Checklist Form (LIC 9276), and Facility Sketch/Floor Plan (LIC 999). On 01/12/23 LPA Strother emailed a copy of the lead report from the California State Water Resource Control Board to D1 and M1, requesting photos identifying all water outlets labeled and corresponding to the Facility Sketch (LIC 999) be submitted within one week, as required. On 01/17/23 LPA received the requested photos. The following deficiency is being cited (see LIC 809D). Appeal Rights were provided. 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.
