Licensing Program Analyst (LPA’s), Thompson and Lucero conducted an unannounced Case Management visit for the purpose to discuss the Lead Sampling Testing conducted on 9/17/2022. LPA met with Assistant Director Alex Ramstorf, who was explained the reason for today’s visit. LPA observed 23 children in care at the time of visit.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018 requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCC’s) constructed before January 1, 2010 to test their drinking water for lead contamination between January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2023, and then every five years after the date of the first test.

Community Care Licensing was notified that lead water testing conducted at the facility on 9/17/2022 failed allowable limit for lead. The Purpose of today’s visit is to follow up lead testing results of Action Level Exceedances (ALE).

Instructions for required lead testing are outlined in PIN 21-21-CCP. This PIN which contains Written Directives, have the same force and effects as the regulations contained in Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations.

Child Care Centers are expected to use an Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP), for lead testing. Accreditation from the California Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program, known as an ELAP laboratory, is equipped to measure the amount of lead in parts per billion (ppb) unit of measurement.


Facility staff was advised on 12/7/2022 that the Lead Sample Report was to be posted. LPA observed the facility had posted the Lead Sample Report.
