25 | On Thursday, August 29th 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPAs) Pa Dao Vang and Amanda Sutter met with Director, Raman Clar, to conduct an unannounced case management. The purpose of today's inspection was to create a plan of correction following a report of lead exceedance in facility outlet. Upon arrival, LPAs were provided with the LIC9275 and LIC9276.
On 1/4/2023, the facility tested water sample for lead. One water outlet sampled indicated an Action Level Exceedance (ALE). The outlet that tested in exceedance is sink faucet D located in the office/kitchen at 8.6ppb. Director explained the sink faucet D is only used for staff washing their own dishes from home during breaks. It’s not used for food preparing or children's consumption. The facility was notified that water lead levels were in exceedance of 5.5 parts per billion and that corrective actions are being taken.
The outlets A, B, and C included sinks and water fountains located inside the classroom. These are used for children's consumption and hand-washing.
A plan of correction is being issued to ensure the outlet is made inoperable, removed, and/or replaced. All other faucets used by preschool children have been tested and are not in Action Level Exceedance. Director will connect with the school district to decide to either cap off the tap or to replace and retest the outlet. Director will also email completed copies of the LIC9275 and LIC9276 forms to LPA.
LPA informed Licensee Representative of Grant funding for testing and remediation is available referenced from Provider Information Notice (PIN) 21-04-CCP.
A deficiency is cited on the following LIC809-D page and the plan of correction was reviewed with the Director, Raman Clar. An exit interview was conducted with Director Raman Clar. A copy of this report and appeal rights were also provided, as well as a notice of site visit which much remain posted for 30 consecutive days.
