Home My WebLink AboutLead Hazard Reduction Order - 08/21/2006 LEAD HAZARD REDUCTION ORDER Of HKOJ H ON THE WATER August 21, 2006 Gerald Neisen 6700 Lee Harbor Ln Oshkosh WI 54902 Re address tested for lead: 309 Waugoo Dear Mr. Neisen: The Oshkosh Health Services Division on August 21, 2006, 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 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. 309 Waugoo Ave EBL INVESTIGATION POST INSPECTION LETTER rev 10 -02 ROOM AREA TESTED POSITIVE CLEARANCE TESTING REQUIRED Bedroom #2 Window sill Yes Window sash Exterior window stop Pocket door Pocket door jamb Bedroom #1 Window sill Yes Window sash Exterior window stop Window casing Baseboard Pocket door Pocket door casing Pocket door jamb Living room entry Door threshold Door stop Exterior door decorative trim /roof (gray paint) Exterior Decorative trim/roof front entrance(white paint) Numerous white paint chips in back & side yard Kitchen Door casing from living room Yes Door to basement Basement door stop Built -in cupboard exterior & interior Bedroom #3 Door Yes Door casing Door stop Closet door stop Window sill Exterior window stop Window sash Bathroom Door Yes Door casing Door stop Window sash Exterior window stop Laundry room Entry door jamb Window sill Exterior window stop 309 Waugoo Ave EBL INVESTIGATION POST INSPECTION LETTER rev 10 -02 Oshkosh Health Services Division assumes that areas of a property that appear to have the same paint history will test the same, therefore areas that have the same colored paint and are in similar condition will require abatement. Therefore all Exterior window stops in the house shall be abated. 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 ident 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 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 lead -safe certificate in the future.

OJHKOJH ON THE WATER • • August 14, 2006 Gerald Neisen 6700 Lee Harbor Ln Oshkosh WI 54902 RE: 309 Waugoo Ave. Dear Gerald Neison: Your property, located at the above referenced address, has been scheduled for lead elevated blood lead (EBL) assessment by the City of Oshkosh Health Services Division on August 21, 2006, at 9:30 a.m. The purpose of the assessment will be to determine and report the existence, nature, severity, and location of lead hazards in or on a premises, as it relates to a confirmed elevated blood lead level in a child residing at this address. Our policy indicates an environmental investigation is warranted when a child's blood lead level is 10 or more micrograms per 100 milliliters of blood (ug /dl). Chapter 15 of the Municipal Code allows the Health Services Division to conduct an EBL assessment of 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. This EBL investigation is based on the child's activity in and around this property. The State Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) may require you to have additional areas tested and brought into compliance as written in Chapter 254 of the State Statutes. I would encourage you to be present at the EBL assessment. Enclosed is a copy of the City of Oshkosh Lead Poisoning, Prevention, and Control Ordinance for your information. Please call if you have any questions prior to the inspection.
