The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) identifies lead poisoning as the principal environmental health problem
affecting children in the United States and emphasizes that this is a problem which is entirely preventable. In
Contra Costa County, 75% of the housing units were built before 1978, the year lead paint was banned by the
Consumer Product Safety Commission. Lead paint is a recognized source of lead poisoning in children. Over
462 lead poisoned children have been identified in Contra Costa County, and more are likely to be poisoned but
have not been tested. This Project is the sole source of funding for case management and follow-up to children
identified as lead poisoned.
The County is agreeing to indemnify and hold the State harmless for claims arising out of the County's
performance under the Contract.
Approval of this Standard Agreement #28-596-7 will allow continuous collaboration with other departments
and community-based organizations in order to better coordinate services and outreach efforts.
Three certified and sealed copies of this Board Order should be returned to the Health Services Department,
Contracts and Grants Unit.
