occupied facilities being transferred or resolving

facility-related work due to an occupant child with

an elevated blood lead. In these projects, it is

required that the specification editor has

appropriate training regarding lead-based paint

activities. Certification as a project designer per

40 CFR 745 is required.

**************************************************************************

NOTE: Where LBP/PWL is not specifically being

removed/controlled as a hazard abatement action or

deleading, use Section 13282N LEAD IN CONSTRUCTION.

**************************************************************************

NOTE: The classification of the lead-based paint or

paint with lead as hazardous waste must be performed

in accordance with 40 CFR 261, and in the design

phase of the project. This classification is

prerequisite to the requirement of special handling,

storage, and disposal according to Federal, state

and local hazardous waste management regulations.

**************************************************************************

NOTE: When historic preservation work will remove

LBP/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 controls) lead

exposure potentials to the occupants. However,

appropriate precautions for protecting occupants and

leaving the housing clean (clearance) after

concluding any work disturbing paint with lead must

be considered. Specific training and certification

requirements (40 CFR 745 or authorized state program

requirements) may not be necessary for all projects.

However, it is strongly recommended that the

specification editor have appropriate training

regarding lead-based paint.

**************************************************************************

NOTE: Obtain from the activity information on

lead-based paint/paint with lead to be removed by

the project.

NOTE: Projects that involve cutting, sawing,
