25 | On 10/20/22 Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Joseph Pacheco and Araceli Gibson conducted an unannounced case management inspection. LPA met with Site Supervisor, Naraceli Mendez. The purpose of today's inspection is to discuss the lead exceedance, referred to as an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) of over 5.5 parts per billion (ppb) in the water at the facility.
The Fresno Regional Office, Community Care Licensing, received notification from Licensee, Madera County Superintendent of Schools District on 10/17/22 of water lead exceedance at the facility resulting from a recent water lead sampling testing conducted on 9/21/22 by Moore Twining Associates Inc. According to the report provided by Licensee, outlet B had an ALE of 18 ppb. Licensee submitted the following Plan of Correction:
· Outlets removed from Service - The use of Outlet B for drinking and food preparation has ceased immediately on 10/10.22.
· Notification provided – Testing results were posted at the facility on 10/13/22, within 72 hours of receipt of testing results.
· Alternative drinking water sources provided – Drinking water is being provided only from sinks and drinking fountains on site that have been tested and confirmed to be below the Action Level for lead.
· Replacement of fixtures – The identified fixtures with Action Level exceedances were replaced on 10/11/22. The fixture was replaced with a Glacier Bay Clare Single Handle Pull Down Laundry Utility Faucet, which is a certified low-lead fixture, based on the guidance from the ELAP document “How to Identify Lead Free Certification Marks for Drinking Water System & Plumbing Products. The new fixture will be turned on for at least 30 seconds, at least 4 times a day, for at least 3 weeks prior to follow-up sampling, in accordance with AB2370 protocols. The flushing process will be tracked on a sheet posted next to the new outlet.
