CDBG Lead-Based Paint Requirements
For Grant Administrators
2
Why do we care?
• Harmful to the body• Stored in organs and bones• Long-lasting physical and neurological
problems• Children under 6 yrs. and unborn babies
most vulnerable
3
4
Where is it?
• Toys, fishing equipment, blinds, crayons, water, pottery, lead crystal, solder
• Pre-1978 homes• Higher percentage in pre-1950 homes
5
Lead-based paint hazards in a pre-1978 home
• Dust and paint chips• Deteriorated painted / varnished surfaces• Friction surfaces• Impact Surfaces• Chewable surfaces• Soil
6
Lead-based paint regs
• New regulations published in 1999• Section 1012 of the Residential Lead-Based
Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992• a.k.a Title X Subpart J• 24 CFR Part 35
7
Applicability
• If you are doing rehab on a pre-1978 home, and broken painted surfaces exist, or if the work you are doing will break paint, you must address all potential lead hazards, including soil.
8
Purpose
• To reduce the threat of childhood lead poisoning in housing owned, assisted, or transferred by the Federal Government.
9
Exemptions
• House built after 1-1-78 • Housing exclusively for elderly (unless
children under 6 could be present for prolonged periods of time )
• SROs, efficiency apts, dorms, military barracks
• Certified lead-free property
10
Exemptions
• Property where LBP was removed and clearance was achieved
• Unoccupied units that will remain vacant until it is demolished
• Non-residential property • Rehab where a painted surface will not be
disturbed
11
Exemptions
• Rehab where only a “de minimis” amount of paint is disturbed
• Emergency repair actions needed to
safeguard against imminent danger or further structural damage
• Emergency housing (e.g. homeless) assistance that lasts less than 100 days per year
• NOTE: All exemptions must be documented

What you need to do:
DisclosureInspection EvaluationAddress the HazardClearanceNotification
13
Disclosure
• Pamphlet: Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home−http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead/outreach/
• Owners and tenants
14
Disclosure
• Evaluation of lead-based paint• Forms
−Owners and renters• Sample forms:
−http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead/disclosurerule/index.cfm
15
Inspection
• Inspect the home to determine needed rehab
• Important to identify all repairs needed
16
Evaluation
• < $5,000 per unit −Test paint or presume LBP
• >$5,000 per unit−Test paint or presume LBP−Risk assessment
17
Evaluation
• When do you presume lead?−Property is in poor condition−Rehab job is small−You have reason to believe lead exists
Pre-1950 building Similar units in the neighborhood
−Work needs to begin immediately
18
Pre-Rehab
• Develop estimate• Allocate costs to rehab or LBP• Treatment method based on cost of non-
lead rehab• Determine treatment method
ALWAYS:−Lead-safe work practices by trained personnel−Occupant Protection Plan By Contractor
19
TERMS TO KNOW
• Standard Treatments• Interim Controls• Abatement• Lead Safe Work Practices
20
Standard Treatments
• Stabilize all deteriorated paint (interior and exterior)
• Create smooth cleanable horizontal surfaces
• Correct dust generating conditions−Friction surfaces−Impact surfaces
• Treat bare soil−To make LBP contaminated soil inaccessible
21
Interim Controls
• Acceptable way to reduce exposure to LBP hazards, although not permanent
• Paint stabilization• Treatment of friction & impact surfaces• Treatment of chewable surfaces• Lead-contaminated dust control (24 CFR
35.1330)• Lead-contaminated soil control
22
Abatement
• Permanent elimination of lead-based paint hazards
• Remove lead-based paint and its dust• Permanently encapsulate or enclose the
LBP• Replace components that have LBP
Abatement
• Remove or permanently cover lead-contaminated soil
• If ordered by enforcement agency
24
Lead Safe Work Practices
• Occupant Protection Plan• Done by Contractor• Must include:
−No entry into worksite−Temporary relocation if necessary−Protect contents of home from LBP contamination
25
Temporary Relocation
• Necessary when:−Can’t use kitchen or bath due to rehab work−Can’t close off work area from balance of living
area−Children may be exposed to LBP dust
• NOT necessary when:−Work done in an 8-hour period−Possible to secure worksite−Waiver -- for elderly occupants
26
Lead Safe Work Practices
• Worksite Preparation and Containment• Prohibited methods• Worksite Cleanup• One-day training for workers• Not required for de minimis levels of work• 24 CFR 35.140; 35.1350; 35.1345
27
Worksite Preparation
• Prevent LBP and dust from leaving worksite• Minimize spread of dust, paint chips, soil and
debris• 6 mil plastic on floors and over doors• Warning signs regarding LBP hazard
reduction activities
28
Prohibited Methods of Abatement
• Some methods of paint removal are prohibited because they increase the lead hazard−Open flame burning or torching−Machine sanding or grinding−Abrasive blasting−Paint stripping in poorly ventilated space
• 24 CFR 35.140
29
Cleanup and Clearance
• ALL worksites must be cleaned and pass a clearance test that assures the area has been properly cleaned of lead-based paint.
• Clearance Report−Documents results of clearance test−To UGLG, owner, and occupant
• Clearance test NOT done by contractor
30
ALWAYS
• Notifications to owner/occupant [24 CFR 35.125]−HUD pamphlet−Evaluations, work to be done, clearance reports
• Lead-safe work practices• Clearance [24 CFR 35.1340]
−Work site−Entire Unit
31
Determining Level of Rehab Assistance
• 24 CFR 35.915• Per unit amount of rehab “hard” costs• Federal Funds Only• NOT lead paint related costs• Not “soft” costs
32
Determining Level of Rehab Assistance
• Total Rehab Cost Estimate• Subtract identified LBP costs
−Cost of work damaging a painted surface−Cost of work addressing deteriorated paint−Cost of other work components with potential for
LBP impact
• = Level of rehab assistance• Cost Allocation Document to show how level
of rehab was determined
33
Getting the work done
• Treatment method is based on the amount of non-lead rehabilitation costs per unit
−< $5,000
−$5,000 - $25,000
−> $25,000
34
< $5,000
• Do no harm (to the occupant) • Test paint or Presume• Rehab as usual with Lead Safe Work
Practices• Use Standard Treatments on broken or
deteriorated painted surfaces• Clear the worksite
35
> $5,000 - $25,000
• Must Control Lead Hazards
• Test Paint and Do Risk Assessment−Interim Controls
- or-• Presume LBP
−Standard Treatments
• Clear Unit
36
> $25,000
• Test Paint and Do Risk Assessment−Abate LBP Hazards−Interim Controls Allowed on Exterior Surfaces not
otherwise disturbed-or-
• Presume LBP −Abate all applicable surfaces
• Clear Unit
37
Clearance/Notification
• ALWAYS Do this!• Methods and standards per EPA at 40 CFR
745.227(e)• Must be done by certified clearance
inspector• NOT done by contractor who did the work• Copy of report to owner and occupant• 24 CFR 35.930
38
Clearance
• < $5,000 non-lead rehab• Worksite only• Not necessary if work is de minimis
• > $5,000• Clear entire house
39
Clearance
• Occupants allowed back on site ONLY after clearance has been achieved
• Don’t pay contractor until clearance has been achieved
