Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nguyen Tran conducted an unannounced Case Management visit. LPA met with Assistant Director, Sharyl Nishinaka to discuss the Lead Sampling Testing conducted on 11/05/2022.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018 requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCC’s) constructed before January 1, 2010 to test their drinking water for lead contamination between January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2023, and then every five years after the date of the first test. Community Care Licensing was notified that lead water testing conducted at the facility on 11/05/2022 failed allowable limit for lead. The Purpose of today’s visit is to follow up lead testing results of Action Level Exceedance (ALE).

Instructions for required lead testing are outlined in PIN 21-21-CCP. This PIN which contains Written Directives, have the same force and effects as the regulations contained in Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations.

Child Care Centers are expected to use an Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP), for lead testing. Accreditation from the California Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program, known as an ELAP laboratory, is equipped to measure the amount of lead in parts per billion (ppb) unit of measurement.

Director was advised on 12/02/2022 that the Lead Sample Report was to be posted. Today, Assistant Director stated the outlet D in room # 6, Preschool Bubbler, with a high levels of lead at 5.7ppb, and outlet G, in the preschool play yard, with a high level of 9.7 ppb, were made inoperable and the test result was posted on 11/30/2022.



During today's inspection, LPA Tran verified that the Lead Sampling Test Result was posted and the identified outlets were made inoperable. Director also provided document of a work order has been placed for the maintenance team to replace the identified high level of lead outlets D and G; and tentatively for the outlets to be re-tested on 12/31/2022.
