LPA was provided a tour of the facility inside and out. Also present during today's inspection were 8 additional staff members and 60 preschool aged children.
LPA discussed to the facility representative that Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010 to test their drinking water for lead contamination between January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2023, and then every 5 years after the date of the first test. Health and Safety (HSC) Code section 1597.16 authorizes the Department to implement and administer procedures for lead testing at CCCs through written instructions until it adopts regulations under the Administrative Procedure Act.
