25 | Due to required lead testing requirements, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Justin Giese conducted a Case Management inspection based on lead testing results received from the facility. LPA toured the facility, took census and met with Program Generalist, Irene Soloman Glass, to further discuss lead results received and measures taken for remediation of lead exceedances.
During the inspection, LPA toured and obtained photos of the following water outlets identified with lead exceedances: Outlet B (7.4 ppb) which was identified as a staff lounge hand washing sink and outlet C30 identified as staff lounge utility sink. Both outlets have been previously tested and showed exceedances, however; after re-testing, outlets B and C30 still have not been remediated.
LPA observed and obtained photos of required signage posted at the outlets for cessation of use.
Facility implemented the following plan of action until formal remediation can be completed: Facility is utilizing portable auxiliary sinks which pump bottled water from the spouts. LPA verified their functionality and observed adequate storage of 5 gallon water bottles. LPA was informed by facility maintenance staff that outlets B and C30 will have fixtures replaced or filters added. The outlets will then be re-tested for exceedances at a later date. The identified water outlets have been covered and sealed with posted signage for non-use.
Facility was previously cited for lead exceedances on 03/14/2023 and has actively applied remediation efforts. Facility will follow plan of corrections as stated on Type B deficiency cited 03/14/2023 until water outlets B and C30 give acceptable results.
