(d) Abatement.
(1) A lead abatement shall be conducted only by an
individual certified by the department as a worker or supervisor,
and if conducted, shall be conducted according to the procedures in
this subsection.
(2) A certified supervisor is required for each abatement
project and shall be onsite during all work site preparation and during
the post-abatement cleanup of work areas. At all other times when
abatement activities are being conducted, the certified supervisor
shall be available either directly or by phone or answering service,
and able to be present at the work site in no more than two hours.
(3) The certified supervisor and the certified firm
employing that supervisor shall ensure that all abatement activities
are conducted according to the requirements of this subsection and
all other federal, state, and local requirements.
(4) Notification of the commencement of lead-based
paint abatement activities in target housing or child-occupied facilities
or as a result of a federal, state, or local order shall be given
to the department, according to the procedures established in §295.214
of this title (relating to Notifications), prior to the commencement
of abatement activities.
(5) A written occupant protection plan shall be developed
and implemented for all abatement projects and shall be prepared according
to the following procedures.
(A) The occupant protection plan shall be unique to
each residential dwelling or child-occupied facility and be developed
prior to the abatement. The occupant protection plan shall describe
the measures and management procedures that will be taken during the
abatement to protect any individual with access to the abatement area
from exposure to any lead-based paint hazards.
(B) A certified supervisor or project designer shall
prepare and sign the occupant protection plan.
(C) The occupant protection plan must be kept at the
worksite by the certified lead abatement firm at all times during
any abatement activity.
(6) Unless presumed lead, a copy of the lead inspection
or lead risk assessment report prepared for the lead abatement project
shall be kept at the worksite by the certified lead abatement firm
and be available for department inspection.
(7) The following work practices shall be followed
during a lead abatement.
(A) Open-flame burning or torching of lead-based paint
is prohibited.
(B) Machine sanding or grinding or abrasive blasting
or sandblasting of lead-based paint is prohibited unless used with
High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) exhaust control capable of
removing particles of 0.3 microns or larger from the air at 99.97%
or greater efficiency.
(C) Dry scraping of lead-based paint is permitted only
in conjunction with heat guns or around electrical outlets or when
treating defective paint spots totaling no more than two square feet
in any one room, hallway, or stairwell or totaling no more than 20
square feet on exterior surfaces.
(D) Operating a heat gun on lead-based paint is permitted
only at a temperature below 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit.
(8) If conducted, soil abatement shall be conducted
in one of the following ways.
(A) If soil is removed:
(i) the soil shall be replaced by soil with a lead
concentration as close to local background as practicable, but less
than 400 ppm; and
(ii) the soil that is removed shall not be used as
top soil at another residential property or child-occupied facility.
(B) If soil is not removed, the soil shall be permanently
covered, as defined in §295.202 of this title (relating to Definitions).
(9) The following post-abatement clearance procedures
shall be performed by a certified inspector or risk assessor.
(A) Following an abatement, a visual inspection shall
be performed to determine if deteriorated painted surfaces or visible
amounts of dust, debris, or residue are still present. If deteriorated
painted surfaces or visible amounts of dust, debris, or residue are
present, these conditions must be eliminated prior to the continuation
of the clearance procedures.
(B) Following the visual inspection and any post-abatement
cleanup required by subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, clearance
sampling for lead in dust shall be conducted. Clearance sampling may
be conducted by employing single-surface sampling or composite sampling
techniques.
(C) Dust samples for clearance purposes shall be taken
using approved documented methodologies that incorporate adequate
quality control procedures.
(D) Dust samples for clearance purposes shall be taken
a minimum of one hour after completion of final post-abatement cleanup
activities.
(E) The following post-abatement clearance activities
shall be conducted as appropriate based upon the extent or manner
of abatement activities conducted in or to the residential dwelling
or child-occupied facility.
(i) After conducting an abatement with containment
between abated and unabated areas, one dust sample shall be taken
from one interior window sill and from one window trough (if present)
and one dust sample shall be taken from the floors of each of no less
than four rooms, hallways or stairwells within the containment area.
In addition, one dust sample shall be taken from the floor outside
the containment area. If there are less than four rooms, hallways
or stairwells within the containment area, then all rooms, hallways
or stairwells shall be sampled.
(ii) After conducting an abatement with no containment,
two dust samples shall be taken from each of no less than four rooms,
hallways or stairwells in the residential dwelling or child-occupied
facility. One dust sample shall be taken from one interior window
sill and window trough (if present) and one dust sample shall be taken
from the floor of each room, hallway or stairwell selected. If there
are less than four rooms, hallways or stairwells within the residential
dwelling or child-occupied facility then all rooms, hallways or stairwells
shall be sampled.
(iii) Following an exterior paint abatement, a visual
inspection shall be conducted to determine and ensure that all horizontal
surfaces in the outdoor living area closest to the abated surface
shall be cleaned of visible dust and debris. In addition, a visual
inspection shall be conducted to determine the presence of paint chips
in bare soil in common areas, on the dripline or next to the foundation
below any abated exterior surface. If paint chips are present, they
must be removed from the site and properly disposed, according to
all applicable federal, state, and local requirements.
(F) The rooms, hallways or stairwells selected for
sampling shall be selected according to approved documented methodologies.
