Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lisa Dyer arrived at the facility to conduct an unannounced Case Management inspection to follow up on results received regarding lead testing/exceedance. LPA met with Director Etelvina Lopez. There were 94 children and 11 staff present.
The facility completed the required lead testing of water outlets.
One outlet was found to be in exceedance of the Action Level of 5 ppb. The facility took action and made the outlet inaccessible to children. The facility completed and submitted all required documents to Licensing, and posted the test results in the facility. All families will be notified of the test results with a letter this week. LPA inspected the outlet. A sign has been placed to advise that the water is not safe for drinking.
The facility understands that they are unable to use the outlet until they receive additional test results, and the Action Level is 5 ppb or below.
See LIC 809-D for a deficiency being cited today. No other deficiencies are being cited.
An exit interview was conducted with Etelvina Lopez. A copy of this report, Notice of Site Visit, and Appeal Rights were given to the director. The facility was reminded to post the Notice of Site Visit for 30 days.
