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 254.166 (1) of the WI State Statutes 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 paintivarnish on surfaces of a premises may constitute a health hazard especially for children under age seven. Ingestion of lead bearing paintivarnish 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 premises. 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. 208scottleadriskass rev 12-01 ROOM AREA TESTED POSITIVE CLEARANCE TESTING REQUIRED Exterior siding under front porch door (door F) Exterior front porch door(F) Exterior front porch door casing Exterior front porch door (F) threshold Back door threshold Back door (exterior side) (gray paint) Livingroom window#2 well Yes Living room window#2 jamb Soil sample Front yard near porch steps Soil sample Under kitchen window west side of house 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 your convenience, a list of currently certified lead risk assessors and lead certified contractors is 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. Please feel free to contact the Oshkosh Health Services Division if you have any questions regarding this matter. ,� Sin�erely, .
