25 | On 02/01/23 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Caroline Harris conducted an unannounced case management inspection. LPA met with Director, Aletria Snowden for the purpose of conducting a case management inspection, regarding a lead exceedance referred to as an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) of over 5.5 parts per billion (ppb) in the water at the facility.
Fresno Regional Office received notification of water lead exceedance at the facility resulting from a recent water lead sampling test. Based on records reviewed from Child Care Center Lead Sampling and testing results from Moore Twining Associates, Inc., for licensee #100402372 showed that there were outlets impacted with an (ALE) of 7.4 ppb in the children's faucet, room 3, named E, 5.5 ppb in the bubbler, room 3, named F, 92.0 ppb in the bubbler staff breakroom, named BB, 6.2 ppb in the adult faucet, cafeteria, named SS, 7.5 ppb in the kitchen faucet, named QQ and 210.0 ppb in the kitchen faucet, named PP. These results indicate out of compliance over (ALE) 5.5 ppb. (See Plan of correction for further corrective action 809D). Outlets E, F and BB have been replaced and are in the process of being flushed and will be re-tested. Outlets SS, PP and QQ were still operating as the water was not turned off to those outlets and the outlets have not been replaced. Maintenance will replace the outlets so they can be retested. Director agrees to continue with the resampling process for an action level result of under 5.5 ppb for compliance with a Certified Sampler.
Director stated children are provided water from a potable source in the kitchen by pitcher and cups. Potable water is also made available to visitors and staff during hours of operation. Facility has posted results for parents to review Per PIN 21-21-1 CCP WD 101703 (b). In addition parents and guardians were also notified by a letter and verbally of the (ALE ) Per PIN 21-21-1 CCP WD 101704 (b)(3).
Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, of the California Code of Regulations, A type B deficiency is being cited: (see next page, 809 D). An exit interview was conducted with Aletria Snowden and she was provided a copy of this report along with appeal rights. This report shall be made available to the public upon request. LIC 9213 Notice of Site Visit was provided and required to be posted for 30 days. |
