Testing Requirements

RCW 28A.210.410 and RCW 43.70.830 require all drinking water outlets in public schools built, or with all plumbing replaced, before 2016 be
tested for lead at least once between July 1, 2014, and June 30, 2026. Retesting shall occur at least once every five years thereafter. Drinking
water sampling and testing must be done in partnership with DOH or contracted through an accredited lab.

Action Plan Requirements

If test results reveal elevated lead levels above 5 parts per billion (ppb) at any outlet used for drinking or cooking, an action plan must be
developed. If your school has an existing action plan, you have the option of updating the existing plan to meet the following requirements
instead of creating a new one.

Per RCW 28A.210.410, a school’s action plan must meet the following requirements:

e The action plan shall be developed in consultation with DOH or your local health jurisdiction and in accordance with DOH’s technical
guidance.

e Consult with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) when seeking funding for remediation activities. The OSPI Lead
in Water Remediation Grant is a potential source of funding.

e Before the action plan is officially adopted, it must be shared publicly with opportunity for public comment.

e For testing that occurred after July 25, 2021, the deadline for adopting the action plan is six months after receiving elevated lead test
results.

e  =The action plan must include:
1) Mitigation measures implemented since receiving elevated lead test results.

2) Aschedule of remediation activities that adhere to the technical guidance. The schedule may be based on the availability of state or
federal funding for remediation activities.

3) A plan for post-remediation sampling and testing to confirm remediation activities have reduced lead concentrations at drinking
water outlets to 5 or fewer ppb.

Action Plan

Mitigation Measures

Mitigation measures are immediate (temporary or permanent) actions, such as shutting off an outlet or marking as “hand wash only,” to stop
access to drinking water with elevated lead concentrations. Outlets with lead concentrations exceeding 15 ppb must be shut off immediately
upon receiving test results in accordance with the technical guidance.

Irene Reither Elementary School has identified 21 drinking water outlets with elevated lead levels requiring mitigation. As per guidance from
Whatcom County Health Department, all fixtures with elevated results over 15ppb have been disabled and the appropriate signage displayed. All
fixtures with lead levels between 6ppb and 15ppb have had signage added that indicates the fixture is for hand washing only.

Mitigation measures have been implemented as follows:

Remediation Schedule

Remediation activities are short-term or permanent control measures to reduce lead concentrations in drinking water to 5 ppb or less. Per RCW
28A.210.410, outlets that have elevated lead levels (above 5 ppb) must be identified, remediated (if not permanently mitigated), and retested.
Refer to the technical guidance for remediation options.

Irene Reither Elementary School has identified 21 drinking water outlets with elevated lead levels requiring remediation. (Outlets listed in the
previous table with temporary mitigation measures are repeated in the table below.) The school intends to permanently mitigate all fixtures
with elevated levels and is obtaining pricing to secure OSPI grant funding for replacement of the affected fixtures. The timing of fixture

replacement is subject to the availability of these funds but is anticipated to be completed no later than (NLT) 08/31/2024.
