unit in a multi—family dwelling with more than four units.

3. Except when clearance is conducted by a sampling techni

cian who is the property owner or the property owner’s employeeor agent, the certified individual conducting clearance shall beassociated with a certified lead company.

(b) Prohibitions on who may conduct. 1. The person conduct

ing clearance may not participate in conducting or pre—elcaring

the activity being cleared.

2. The person conducting clearance may not communicate to

others the location where clearance dust wipes will be collected.

ject to restricted work practices under s. DHS 163.44 (3) (d) or an

abatement activity unless the person meets all ofthe criteria unders. DI-IS 163.40 (2) (c) 3.

(c) Cleai’ance protocol. In performing clearance, the certified

lead hazard investigator, inspector, risk assessor or sampling tech

nician shall comply with all tfthe following in an unbiased, objec.

five and impartial manner:

1. ‘Visual inspection of work.’ .i>erform a visual inspection

to determine ifwork specified in any contract, work plans, ordersor other specifications has been completed and if any visibleamounts of dust, debris or residue are present. If work has not

been con3pleted or if visible amounts of dust, debris or residue are

present, the person who performed the activity being cleared shalleliminate these conditions prior to the continuation of the clearance procedures.

2. ‘Timing of sampling.’ Following a successful visual

inspection and a minimum of one hour after conupletion of final

cleanup activities, conduct clearance sampling for dust—lead by

collecting single--surface dust samples using documented methodologies that incorporate adequate quality control procedures.

3. ‘Location ofsampling for work conducted in containment.’

a. In at least 4 rooms, hallways, stairwells or other living areas

within the containment area, collect one dust sample from oneinterior windowsill or one window trough, if available, and one

dust sample from the floors. If there arc fewer than 4 rooms, hall

ways. stairwells or other living areas within the containment area,

collect samples -from one interior windowsill or one windowtrough, if available, and one dust satapie from the floors of’ allrooms, hallways, stairwells or other living areas within containnient.

b. Collect one dust sample from the floor of a common area

withtn containment for every 2,000 square feet of flooi and one

dust sample from the floor of a common area outside containment.

5. ‘Random sampling in multHhmiiy dwellings.’ Following

an interior activity in a multi—family dwelling with similarly constructed and maintained dwelling units, conduct random samplingfor purposes of clearance provided that:

a. The persons who perform the activities, including cleanup,

do not know which dwelling ‘units will he selected for the randomsample. -

b.

A sufficient number of dwelling units are selected for dust

sampling to provide a 95% level of confidence that at least 95%of all dwelling units would pass clearance if all dwelling unitswere sampled. In a housing complex with more than 1,000 dwell

ing units, no sampled dwelling unit may fail clearance and a suffi

cient number of dwelling units shall be selected for dust sampling

to provide a 95% level of confidence that no more than 5% of all

dwelling units or 50 dwelling units, whichever is smaller, wouldfail clearance if all dwelling units were sampled.

Note: For assistance in. selecting the correct sample size, refer to Appendix B of

this chapter.

c. The randomly selected dwelling units are sampled and

evaluated for clearance according to the procedures found is.t par.(c).

6. ‘Visual inspection of exterior work area.’ Following an

exterior activity, conduct a visual inspection. If visible dust ordebris is present on horizorita,i surfaces in the outdoor commonarea closest to the work surface, such as a porch, patio, deck, side

walk or stoop, the person who performed the activity being

cleared shall eliminate these conditions before clearance maycontinue. In addition, conduct a visual inspection to deten.nine the

presence of paint chips on the dripline, next to the foundation, or

any other surface below any exterior surface involved in the activ

ity. ifpaint chips are present, the person who conducted the activ

ity being cleared shall remove the paint chips from the site anti

properly dispose of them according to applicable federal, state and

local government requirements.

7, ‘Laboratory analysis.’ Have collected samples analyzed

by a recognized laboratory to determine the detectable levels of

lead that can be quantified numerically.

8. ‘interpretation of laboratory results.’ Compare the residual

lead level from each dust sample. as determined by laboratory

analysis, with the applicable clearance level for lead in dust onfloors, interior windowsills and window troughs. Ifthe residuallead level in a dust sample equals or exceeds the applicable clearmice level, all of the components represented by d.c ‘failed sampleshall be recleaned by the person who conducted the activity being

cleared and retested by the person conducting clearance untilclearance levels are met. For dust wipe samples taken, duringclearance, clearance is achieved when the laboratory result for asample is- less than the following:
