SCI collected 33 drinking water samples (BBES-1 through BBES-33) from various water fixtures located throughout the structure and submitted them for analytical testing. The drinking water samples were analyzed for total lead by U.S. EPA Method 200.8. SCI collected a minimum of 250 milliliters of water from each location. Sampled water was containerized in laboratory-provided sample containers and shipped to the lab using standard chain-of-custody procedures. Figures depicting the locations of the sampled water fixtures are enclosed.

The drinking water samples were analyzed for lead in accordance with the "Get the Lead Out of School Drinking Water Act", Section 160.077, which establishes an action level (AL) of 5 parts per billion (ppb). The drinking water samples which exceeded the AL are identified in Table 1, below.
