**************************************************************************
NOTE: When historic preservation work will disturb
PWL, refer to the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties
and/or Brief 37, "Appropriate Methods for Reducing
Lead-Paint Hazards in Historic Housing" as
appropriate.
**************************************************************************

**************************************************************************
NOTE: Projects involving housing improvement,
maintenance, or repair are not considered a
lead-based paint hazard abatement action even if the
effect of the work removes (or reduces) lead
exposure potentials to the occupants. However,
appropriate precautions for protecting occupants and
leaving the housing clean (clearance) after
concluding any work disturbing lead must be
considered. Specific training and certification
requirements (40 CFR 745 or authorized state program
requirements) may not be necessary for all projects.

excluded from RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste
regulations. Contractors may dispose of LBP-wastes
as household wastes subject to applicable State
regulations. Determination of the expected waste
materials as hazardous or solid waste for disposal

SECTION 02 83 13.00 20 Page 13

 lead-contaminated dust. Use of these techniques for
exteriors should be limited because the resulting
airborne dust could result in significant
contamination of the ground in the immediate
vicinity of the facility. Manual or power
sanding/grinding of lead containing surfaces may be
an acceptable work method only if appropriate
engineering controls for personnel/environmental
protection are in place.
**************************************************************************

**************************************************************************
NOTE: For commercial/public buildings and industrial
buildings, the designer will have to ascertain
appropriate procedures, methods and techniques to
control lead hazards. The use of enclosure or soil
barriers as a control system requires the input of
engineering/ architectural experts familiar with
these controls. Add additional paragraphs to
address unique local or state requirements.
**************************************************************************

[Manual or power sanding or grinding of lead surfaces or materials is not

permitted unless tools are equipped with HEPA attachments or wet methods.
The dry sanding or grinding of surfaces that contain lead is prohibited.]
Provide methodology for removing lead in the Lead Compliance Plan. Select
lead removal processes to minimize contamination of work areas outside the
control area with lead-contaminated dust or other lead-contaminated debris
or waste and to ensure that unprotected personnel are not exposed to
hazardous concentrations of lead. Describe this removal process in the Lead
Compliance Plan. [_____]

3.3.2.1 Paint with Lead or Material Containing Lead - Indoor Removal

Perform [manual] [mechanical] removal [and thermal cutting] in the lead

control areas using enclosures, barriers or containments [and powered
locally exhausted tools]. Collect residue [debris] for disposal in
accordance with federal, State, and local requirements.

3.3.2.2 Paint with Lead or Material Containing Lead - Outdoor Removal

3.2 ERECTION

3.2.1 Lead Control Area Requirements

**************************************************************************
NOTE: Choose the first paragraph if PWL or MCL will
be removed by means that will not create airborne,
dust containing lead (such as carefully unfastening
sheets containing lead from walls). Choose the
second paragraph if removal practice will create
airborne, dust containing lead (such as sanding,
sawing, grinding, thermal cutting or digging or
demolition activities). Select the control method
that will ensure efficiency and prevents lead from
escaping outside of the lead control area.
**************************************************************************

[ Establish a lead control area by completely establishing barriers and

physical boundaries around the area or structure where PWL or MCL removal
operations will be performed.
]
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The Designer should consider the use of
viewing ports for lead control areas under 100
square meters 1,000 square feet to save inspection
time.
**************************************************************************

[ Full containment - Contain removal operations by the use of [critical

barriers] [and HEPA filtered exhaust] [a negative pressure enclosure system
with decontamination facilities and with HEPA filtered exhaust if required
by the CP]. For containment areas larger than 100 square meters 1,000
square feet install a minimum of two 450 mm 18 inch square viewing ports.
Locate ports to provide a view of the required work from the exterior of
the enclosed contaminated area. Glaze ports with laminated safety glass.

]3.3 APPLICATION

3.3.1 Lead Work

Perform lead work in accordance with approved Lead Compliance Plan. Use
procedures and equipment required to limit occupational exposure and
environmental contamination with lead when the work is performed in
accordance with 29 CFR 1926.62 [or 40 CFR 745], and as specified herein.
Dispose of all PWL or MCL and associated waste in compliance with federal,
State, and local requirements.

3.3.2 Paint with Lead or Material Containing Lead Removal

**************************************************************************
NOTE: Use bracketed prohibition on manual and power
sanding/grinding of lead surfaces/materials when
appropriate. Large scale manual or power
sanding/grinding of lead containing surfaces should
never be allowed in family housing, child care
facilities, administrative buildings, galleys,
barracks, etc., due to problems associated with the
resulting dust fallout/contamination of crevices and
cracks which may retain unseen quantities of

SECTION 02 83 13.00 20 Page 18

 lead-contaminated dust. Use of these techniques for
exteriors should be limited because the resulting
airborne dust could result in significant
contamination of the ground in the immediate
vicinity of the facility. Manual or power
sanding/grinding of lead containing surfaces may be
an acceptable work method only if appropriate
engineering controls for personnel/environmental
protection are in place.
**************************************************************************

**************************************************************************
NOTE: For commercial/public buildings and industrial
buildings, the designer will have to ascertain
appropriate procedures, methods and techniques to
control lead hazards. The use of enclosure or soil
barriers as a control system requires the input of
engineering/ architectural experts familiar with
these controls. Add additional paragraphs to
address unique local or state requirements.
**************************************************************************

[Manual or power sanding or grinding of lead surfaces or materials is not

permitted unless tools are equipped with HEPA attachments or wet methods.
The dry sanding or grinding of surfaces that contain lead is prohibited.]
Provide methodology for removing lead in the Lead Compliance Plan. Select
lead removal processes to minimize contamination of work areas outside the
control area with lead-contaminated dust or other lead-contaminated debris
or waste and to ensure that unprotected personnel are not exposed to
hazardous concentrations of lead. Describe this removal process in the Lead
Compliance Plan. [_____]

3.3.2.1 Paint with Lead or Material Containing Lead - Indoor Removal

Perform [manual] [mechanical] removal [and thermal cutting] in the lead

control areas using enclosures, barriers or containments [and powered

vacuuming with a HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner, wet mopping the area and wet

SECTION 02 83 13.00 20 Page 21

 wiping the area as indicated by the Lead Compliance Plan. Reclean areas
showing dust or debris. After visible dust and debris is removed, wet wipe
and HEPA vacuum all surfaces in the controlled area. If adjacent areas
become contaminated at any time during the work, clean, visually inspect,
and then wipe sample all contaminated areas. The CP shall then certify in
writing that the area has been cleaned of lead contamination before
clearance testing.

3.5.1.1 Clearance Certification

**************************************************************************
NOTE: The second paragraph must be used for high
profile, sensitive work such as present in family
housing, child care facilities, kitchens, etc. For
work in administrative buildings or the conversion
of industrial lead work areas (e.g., firing ranges)
into non-industrial work areas open for public
access, use the third paragraph otherwise delete.
For industrial buildings, use visual clearance
only. Surface dust sampling to determine clearance
(i.e., that the work has not contaminated surfaces
within and adjacent to the control area) should be
performed by a third party to reduce a conflict of
interest.
**************************************************************************

The CP shall certify in writing that air samples collected outside the lead
control area during paint removal operations are less than 30 micrograms
per cubic meter of air; the respiratory protection used for the employees
was adequate; the work procedures were performed in accordance with
29 CFR 1926.62; and that there were no visible accumulations of material
and dust containing lead left in the work site. Do not remove the lead
control area or roped off boundary and warning signs prior to the
Contracting Officer's acknowledgement of receipt of the CP certification.

[ The third party consultant shall certify surface wipe sample results
collected inside and outside the work area are [less than 40 micrograms per
0.1 square meter square foot on floors, less than 250 micrograms per 0.1
square meter square foot on interior window sills and less than 400
micrograms per 0.1 square meter square foot on window troughs] [not
significantly greater than the initial surface loading determined prior to
work].

][The third party consultant shall certify surface wipe sample results
collected inside and outside the work area are less than 200 micrograms per
0.1 square meter square foot on floors or horizontal surfaces.

][Certify surface wipe samples are not significantly greater than the initial
surface loading determined prior to work.

][Clear the lead control area in industrial facilities of all visible dust
and debris.

][For exterior work, soil samples taken at the exterior of the work site
shall be used to determine if soil lead levels had increased at a
statistically significant level (significant at the 95 percent confidence
limit) from the soil lead levels prior to the operation. If soil lead
levels either show a statistically significant increase above soil lead
levels prior to work or soil lead levels above any applicable federal or

SECTION 02 83 13.00 20 Page 22

 state standard for lead in soil, the soil shall be remediated.
