25 | On February 23, 2024, at approximately 8:45 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Josiah Gathing met with Program Secretary Brittney Rand to conduct an unannounced case management inspection. School was closed and there were no children in care during today's inspection. The purpose of today's inspection was to create a plan of correction following reports of lead exceedance in three of the facility outlets.
On December 30, 2023, the facility tested water samples for lead. Three water outlets sampled indicated an Action Level Exceedance (ALE). These outlets are marked Z, E, and N on the facility sketch provided by the center. On February 18, 2024 the Licensing Program was notified that water levels were in exceedance of 5 parts per billion in tested locations.
Signs have been placed on each outlet in exceedance stating that the outlets should not be used for drinking or food preparation. Program Secretary stated that the faucets have already been replaced, are flushed daily, and will be re-tested in three weeks. LPA received the lead testing map and other required documents (LIC 9275 External Water Sampler Self-Certification Form and LIC 9276 Child Care Center Sampling Checklist Form) from Program Secretary during today's inspection.
A deficiency is cited on the following LIC809-D and the plan of correction was reviewed with Program Secretary, Brittney Rand. A copy of this report and appeal rights were provided to Program Secretary.
