25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mel Matos met with Margo Dickson, Director, for an unannounced case management inspection. Purpose of today's inspection: discuss the lead testing requirement for child care centers that becomes effective January 1, 2023.
Margo states that the Facility does not use water outlets for drinking water or food preparation and wants to request to be "exempt" from the lead testing requirements. LPA advised Margo that the Facility will need to submit the following written attestation and document (Facility sketch) to the Department to be "exempt" from the lead testing requirement.
1) A written statement attesting to the CCC not using any water outlets used for food prep or drinking water
2) A marked-up Facility Map (LIC 999) to identify ALL outlets located at the CCC).
LPA reminded Margo that if the Facility decides to begin using an outlet(s) for food preparation or drinking water, after January 1, 2023, the Facility must first be tested following the most current written directives, prior to using the outlet(s).
Margo states that she understands LPA's explanation and will submit the items listed above to LPA Matos within 1-2 weeks.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director, Margo Dickson. No deficiencies issued during today's inspection.
A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
