OJHKOfH LEAD HAZARD REDUCTION ORDER ON THE WATER January 12, 2007 Chet French & Bonnie Nelson 641 W South Park Ave Oshkosh WI 54902 Re address tested for lead: 641 W South Park Ave. 'J Dear Chet & Bonnie: The Oshkosh Health Services Division on January 12,2007, 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 of lead bearing paint/varnish dust and/or chips are the most common causes of childhood lead poisoning. When lead.pearing 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 retar:dation, 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 ~) 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. 641 W South Park Ave EBL INVESTIGATION POST INSPECTION LETTER rev 10-02 Livin room Kitchen Floor Window sashes Window troughs Window stops Exterior of entry door to living room Exterior of en door to livin room casin En door interior side Window above sink trough Exterior window sash above sink Window trou h Bathroom As an owner occupied home Oshkosh Health Services Division will allow you to do wet scraping and painting in your home providing you follow lead safe work practices.

Failure to comply may result in citations being issued to you. 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.

Any area not specifically meptioned in this report would be your responsibility to have tested, if necessary, in the future to determine if it contains lead bearing paint/varnish.
