Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nolan Tcheng conducted an unannounced case management inspection for an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) detected in a water fixture in the facility. Upon Arrival at 1:55pm, LPA met with Director Vanessa Sanchez, who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. There were children present during the time of the inspection.

Census was taken. LPA observed 38 children and 5 staff members.

LPA reviewed new Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, which requires the testing of water for lead in Child Care Centers (CCCs) with facility director during the inspection. Per AB 2370, all CCCs that are located in buildings constructed before January 1, 2010, must have their water tested and post the results by January 1, 2023, and every 5 years after the date of the first testing.

Facility provided facility sketch and required forms LIC 9276, LIC999 and LIC9275 to LPA during today’s inspection.

On 08/30/2023, the Department received notification from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Division of Drinking Water (DDW). The SWRCB report indicated the facility was inspected and samples were collected on 08/30/2023. Faucets and drinking fountain reported with 5.5 ppb or greater lead exceedance levels were as follows:

· C - Drinking Fountain Room 1 - Result 6.020ppb

· D - Faucet Room 1 - Result 7.100ppb

Today's inspection is to address the Action Level Exceedance in Room 1 that is currently not in use and has not been in use since March 2020. There have not been enough children enrolled in the program to open that room up. Children do not have access to Room 1. Since the last inspection on 10/03/2023, the drinking Fountain and Faucet for Room 1 have been replaced and retested showing no action level exceedance. Clearance of deficiency letter was provided on this date. REPORT CONTINUES PAGE 1 of 2
