The Purpose of today's inspection is to conduct a Case Management Inspection regarding a lead exceedance referred to as an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) of over 5.5 parts per billion (bbp) in the water at this facility.

Based on records reviewed from BSK Associates a Certified Laboratory and discussions with Rhiana Thornton it has been determined there is an exceedance to outlet labeled “A” on LIC 999 dated 07/19/2022. LPA Vega-Gonzalez inspected outlet “A”, and it was observed to be an indoor sink with a water fountain, that was impacted with a test result of 17 ppb (ALE) of lead on 7/19/2022.
