Main St. Stockton, CA 95215 RE: Completion of Lead Hazard Controls and Successful Lead Dust Clearance Testing At 38 S. Airport Way, Stockton, CA. The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) performed a final visual and lead dust clearance inspection of your property. Results from the dust clearance testing are enclosed. Identified sources of exposure have been reduced or eliminated as required by the EHD. However, paint can deteriorate through normal use and maintenance activity, thereby releasing dust that could result in contamination. Therefore, ongoing monitoring is necessary for dwellings in which lead-based paint is known or suspected to be present, regardless of the paint's present condition.

The goal of a visual survey is to confirm that: • Painted surfaces with known or suspected lead-based paint are not deteriorating. • Control methods such as encapsulation and enclosure have not failed. • Structural problems (e.g., water leaks) do not threaten the integrity of any remaining known or suspected lead-based paint. Reevaluations must be performed in accordance with the Standard Reevaluation Schedules contained in the "Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing," and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) June 1995, Chapter 6, Table 6.1. A copy of Table 6.1 has been enclosed and the schedule that pertains to this property has been highlighted. The results of the initial f
