25 | On December 7, 2022, at 10:45 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Denise Gibbs conducted an unannounced case management inspection and met with Principal Wendy Peel. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by Principal.
There were 49 children and 18 staff present during the inspection.
The purpose of today's inspection was to discuss the water lead test results. Results show that three water sources have action level exceedance (ALE) of lead. The drinking fountains located inside of Room#1 and Room #2 and the drinking fountains and fill station outside Room#1 had a lead exceedance of 23 points per billion (ppb), 30ppb, and 6ppb.
At 11:00 a.m. LPA observed and tested the water sources with ALE. Water sources were operable. Principal informed LPA that the ALE had already been corrected. Filters were added to all affected water sources. Principal provided LPA with retest results showing levels of 3.9 ppb and under 1ppb for identified sources. LPA observed both initial and retest lead results posted in the main office. A deficiency was cited to ensure that the water faucets with the exceedance will not be used as a drinking source or food preparation source for the children. Letter of correction was provided during today's visit.
The deficiency listed on the following page was observed by the LPA and is being cited in accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 22. Please see attached LIC 809-D. The deficiency that is being cited needs to be cleared to protect the children’s health & safety.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
Exit interview was conducted and Plans of Correction was reviewed and developed with Principal. A copy of this report and appeal rights were discussed and left with Principal, Wendy Peel, whose signature on this form confirm receipt of these documents. -----------------PAGE 1 |
