Re: 916 Winnebago Ave.
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Meisel:
The Oshkosh Health Services Division on September 30, 2005, performed an Elevated Blood Lead
(EBL) Investigation on your property, located at the above referenced address. The purpose of the
EBL Investigation was to determine and report the existence, nature, and location of lead
hazards in or on the premises, as it relates to a confirmed elevated blood lead level in a child
who resides at this address. Chapter 15 of the Municipal Code allows the Health Services Division
to conduct an EBL Investigation at the premises where a child, six years of age or younger, who has
been lead poisoned resides.
The presence of lead bearing paint/varnish on surfaces of a premise may constitute a health hazard
especially for children under age seven. Ingestion oflead bearing paint/varnish dust and/or chips
are the most common causes of childhood lead poisoning. When lead bearing painted and/or
varnished surfaces are peeling, flaking, chipping, subject to fiiction, or cracking, they present
potential health hazards. The continuous intake of lead into the body may cause developmental
delays, hyperactivity, behavior disorders, hearing loss, anemia, growth failure, neurological
problems, mental retardation, and in rare cases even death.
A visual assessment plus nondestructive lead testing was conducted on painted and/or varnished
surfaces at the above premises using a portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer and/or lead check
swabs. In some cases, paint chips, dust, and/or soil samples may have been submitted for analysis.
A copy of the complete EBL Investigation results are enclosed. The investigation indicated the
presence of lead hazards at this premise. The following areas have been determined to be a lead
hazard, that is, they contain lead bearing paint and/or varnish and are in disrepair due to cracking,
chipping, peeling and/or are subject to fiiction and are in need oflead hazard reduction activities,
per Section 15-25 of the Oshkosh Municipal Code.

The Oshkosh Health Services Division will allow an owner in an owner occupied home to do wet
scraping and painting. All window replacement must be completed by a lead certified contractor.
Section 15-25 of the Oshkosh Municipal Code requires an independent certified lead risk assessor
and/or certified lead contractor to be hired to develop and submit a written lead hazard reduction
plan, based on the results of the investigation. The plan for lead hazard reduction must be submitted
to the Health Services Division within 30 days of receipt of this letter and needs to be approved prior
to the start of any lead hazard reduction activities. Failure to comply may result in citations being
issued to you. Please refer to Oshkosh Municipal Code, Section 15-29 for plan and certification
requirements. For you convenience, a list of currently certified lead risk assessors and certified
contractors are enclosed.

It is important for you to understand that the testing performed on your property was not
comprehensive. Our responsibility is to identifY lead hazards that exist on the premises related to
an EBL Investigation, not to do a complete analysis of every painted surface in the home. Our
inspection focused on those areas most commonly found to contain lead bearing paint/varnish and
areas in disrepair. Any area not specifically mentioned in this report would be your responsibility to
have tested, if necessary, in the future to determine ifit contains lead bearing paint/varnish. Please
note that compliance with the above orders may not be sufficient to meet the standards to obtain a
lead-safe certificate in the future.
Please feel tree to contact the Oshkosh Health Services Division if you have any questions regarding
this matter,
