OJHKOJH LEAD HAZARD REDUCTION ORDER ON THE WATER December 9, 2005 Randy Maas & Suzette Scanlon 30 W South Park Ave. Oshkosh, WI 54902 Re: 30 W South Park Ave. Dear Randy Maas & Suzette Scanlon: The Oshkosh Health Services Division on December 9, 2005, perfonned 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 of lead 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 friction, 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 friction and are in need of lead hazard reduction activities, per Section 15-25 of the Oshkosh Municipal Code. 30 W South Park Ave EBL INVESTIGATION POST INSPECTION LETTER.doc rev 10-02 Dining room Basement entrance Living room Bedroom #1 Bedroom #2 Foyer Stops & troughs in all windows except kitchen window over sink.

If you have questions or concerns about lead safe work please call me at 236-5027.

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. 30 W South Park Ave EBL INVESTIGATION POST INSPECTION LETTERdoc rev 10-02 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 EEL 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 detennine if it contains lead bearing paint/varnish. Please note that compliance with the above orders may not be sufficient to meet the standards to obtain a 1ead-safe certificate in the future. The State Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) may require you to obtain a 12 month lead safe certificate as required in Chapter 254 of the State Statutes. Please feel free to contact the Oshkosh Health Services Division if you have any questions regarding this matter.
