25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), James Santos conducted an unannounced case management inspection visit today and met with Director. Heather Elston. LPA informed Director that purpose of visit which was to discuss the Lead Sampling Testing conducted at the center on 3/19/2022. The Lead Testing Analysis report was sent to CCL by the Director on 4/11/2022. Per the report, the testing of water on one of the faucets in the kitchen indicated an Action Level Exceedance, hence, water from this faucet is deemed not safe to drink or be used for food preparation due to elevated levels of lead. The sampling report dated 4/11/022 indicated result on the kitchen faucet of 9.9ppb which is above the reporting limit of 1.0ppb .
Per discussion with the Director, the identified faucet however, is not being used for any food preparation for the school nor for drinking. It is only being used by the kitchen staff only and for hand washing only. LPA inspected the faucet and a label for hand washing was observed to be posted by the sink.
Since the identified faucet is only being used for hand washing and by kitchen staff only and it is not accessible to children, there were no deficiencies cited.
NOTICE OF SITE VISIT WAS ISSUED AND MUST REMAIN POSTED FOR 30 DAYS. |
