County No. C-86-21- Scottsdale Contract No. 2021-xxx-COS Elevated Blood Lead Level Data Sharing Agreement This Elevated Blood Lead Level Data Sharing Agreement (Agreement) is entered into by the City of Scottsdale working through its Scottsdale Housing Agency (SHA) and the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH). 1. Background and Purpose. 1.1. Houses and apartments built prior to the 1978 federal ban of lead-based paint have an increased risk of containing lead. An estimated 24 million housing units in the United States are contaminated. Lead sources may come from deteriorating paint, dust, and soil. Lead paint that is peeling, chipping, chalking, cracking, or damaged due to age or high impact is highly hazardous. 1.2. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) addressed the issue of environmental lead in federally owned and subsidized housing with the Lead Safe Housing Rule (24 CFR 35, subparts H (Project Based Assistance, including Multifamily Residential Properties), L (Public Housing Programs), and M (Tenant-Based Rental Assistance – Housing Choice Voucher Program)), which requires Housing Authorities to complete an environmental investigation and lead-based paint hazard reduction (when applicable) of the dwelling unit to which the subpart applies, when a child aged six or less has been identified with an elevated blood lead level of 5 µg/dL or greater. 1.3. Lead poisoning can cause serious developmental damage to children that can last a lifetime, yet it is completely preventable if lead hazards are removed. The purpose of this project is to eliminate as far as practicable the incidence of childhood lead poisoning due to environmental causes in the home by monitoring lead poisoning reports and implementing environmental remediation when needed. 2. Process. 2.1. In the proposed project, childhood blood lead level data reported in Maricopa County will be used to determine locations for environmental testing on dwelling units in Maricopa County to which the Lead Safe Housing Rule Subparts H, L, and M apply. If environmental treatment and/or remediation is necessary, it will be completed by the responsible owner. All results will be reported by the Scottsdale Housing Agency (SHA) to the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) and Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). 2.2. SHA Obligations. SHA will: 2.2.1. Provide MCDPH with a quarterly list of current addresses of the Housing Agency dwelling units to which the Lead Safe Housing Rule Subpart M applies. 2.2.2. Provide MCDPH with a one-time list of dwelling units to which the Lead Safe Housing Rule Subpart H and L apply, if applicable. 2.2.2.1. Provide MCDPH with notification regarding any addresses that have converted out of Scottsdale Housing Agency’s inventory through the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Program, when applicable. 2.2.3. Provide MCDPH with monthly reports on a date agreed upon by both parties. Reports will include any action taken to conduct environmental testing and/or remediation on a Housing Agency dwelling unit identified by MCDPH as the residence of a child under age 6 with a Page 1 of 4 County No. C-86-21- Scottsdale Contract No. 2021-xxx-COS confirmed positive blood lead level of 5 µg/dL or greater, or a statement indicating that no environmental testing and/or remediation occurred, if/when applicable. 2.3. MCDPH Obligations. MCDPH will: 2.3.1. Determine if any child under six that tests positive for an elevated blood lead level of 5 µg/dL or greater resides in an applicable Housing Agency dwelling unit. MCDPH will provide the addresses of any positive cases to SHA on a monthly basis. 2.3.2. Provide ADHS with data received from SHA regarding actions taken to conduct environmental testing and/or remediation. 3. Data Use Restrictions. By using these data, SHA and MCDPH users agree to comply with the following data use restrictions. 3.1. The MCDPH does everything in its power to assure that the identity of data subjects cannot be disclosed. All direct identifiers including name, SSN, and DOB, as well as any characteristics that might lead to identification, are omitted from the dataset. Users shall not attempt to identify individuals from any computer file, nor shall they link with a computer file containing patient identifiers. Any intentional identification or disclosure of a person or establishment violates the assurances of confidentiality given to the providers of the information. 3.2. MCDPH and SHA personnel (users) agree to the following: 3.2.1. Users will not use nor permit others to use the data in any way other than for the purposes of identifying locations to carry out environmental testing. 3.2.2. Users will not attempt to link, nor permit others to link the data with individually identified records in other MCDPH or non-MCDPH databases. 3.2.3. Users will not attempt to learn the identity of any person whose address is contained in the supplied file(s). 3.2.4. If the identity of any person is discovered inadvertently, then the following action should be taken: 3.2.4.1. No use will be made of this knowledge 3.2.4.2. Users will not share the discovered identity with others 3.2.5. Users will not release nor permit others to release the data in full or in part to any person except with the written approval of MCDPH. 3.2.6. If accessing the data from a centralized location on a time-sharing computer system or LAN, users will not share their logon name and password with any other individuals. Users will also not allow any other individuals to use their computer account after they have logged on with your logon name and password. 3.2.7. SHA will share any results/findings from analysis of these data with MCDPH before findings are presented outside the requesting organization. 3.2.8. Users will be held accountable for any violation of these data use restrictions.
