R307-840. Lead-Based Paint Program Purpose, Applicability, and 

Definitions.

R307-840-1. Purpose and Applicability.

 (1) Rule R307-840, R307-841, and R307-842 establish procedures 

and requirements for the accreditation of training programs for 

lead-based paint activities and renovations, procedures and 

requirements for the certification of individuals and firms engaged 

in lead-based paint activities and renovations, and work practice 

standards for performing such activities. These rules also require 

that, except as outlined in R307-840-1(2), all lead-based paint 

activities and renovations, as defined in these rules, must be 

performed by certified individuals and firms. 

 (2) R307-840, R307-841, and R307-842 apply to all individuals 

and firms who are engaged in lead-based paint activities and 

renovations as defined in R307-840-2, except persons who perform these 

activities within residential dwellings that they own, unless the 

residential dwelling is occupied by a person or persons other than 

the owner or the owner's immediate family while these activities are 

being performed, or a child residing in the building has been 

identified as having an elevated blood lead level. 

 (3) R307-840, R307-841, and R307-842 identify lead-based paint 

hazards. The standards for lead-based paint hazards apply to target 

housing and child-occupied facilities. 

 (4) R307-840, R307-841, and R307-842 do not require the owner 

of the property or properties subject to these rules to evaluate the 

property or properties for the presence of lead-based paint hazards 

or take any action to control these conditions if one or more of them 

is identified. 

 (5) While R307-840, R307-841, and R307-842 establish specific 

requirements for performing lead-based paint activities and 

renovations should they be undertaken, these rules do not require 

that the owner or occupant undertake any particular lead-based paint 

activity or renovation. 

 (6) Individuals or firms wishing to deviate from the 

certification, notification, work practice, or other requirements 

of R307-840, R307-841, and/or R307-842 may do so only after requesting 

and obtaining written approval from the executive secretary. 

R307-840-2. Definitions.

 The following definitions apply to R307-840, R307-841, and 

R307-842, in addition to the definitions found in R307-101-2. 

 "Abatement" means any measure or set of measures designed to 

permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards. Abatement includes, 

but is not limited to: 

 (1) The removal of paint and dust, the permanent enclosure or 

encapsulation of lead-based paint, the replacement of painted surfaces 

or fixtures, or the removal or permanent covering of soil, when 

lead-based paint hazards are present in such paint, dust, or soil; 

and 

 (2) All preparation, cleanup, disposal, and post-abatement 

clearance testing activities associated with such measures. 

 (3) Specifically, abatement includes, but is not limited to: 
 (a) Projects for which there is a written contract or other 

documentation, which provides that an individual or firm will be 

conducting activities in or to a residential dwelling or 

child-occupied facility that: 

 (i) Shall result in the permanent elimination of lead-based 

paint hazards; or 

 (ii) Are designed to permanently eliminate lead-based paint 

hazards and are described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this definition. 

 (b) Projects resulting in the permanent elimination of 

lead-based paint hazards, conducted by firms or individuals certified 

in accordance with R307-842-2, unless such projects are covered by 

paragraph (4) of this definition; 

 (c) Projects resulting in the permanent elimination of 

lead-based paint hazards, conducted by firms or individuals who, 

through their company name or promotional literature, represent, 

advertise, or hold themselves out to be in the business of performing 

lead-based paint activities as identified and defined by this section, 

unless such projects are covered by paragraph (4) of this definition; 

or 

 (d) Projects resulting in the permanent elimination of 

lead-based paint hazards that are conducted in response to State of 

Utah or local abatement orders. 

 (4) Abatement does not include renovation, remodeling, 

landscaping or other activities, when such activities are not designed 

to permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards, but, instead, are 

designed to repair, restore, or remodel a given structure or dwelling, 

even though these activities may incidentally result in a reduction 

or elimination of lead-based paint hazards. Furthermore, abatement 

does not include interim controls, operations and maintenance 

activities, or other measures and activities designed to temporarily, 

but not permanently, reduce lead-based paint hazards.

that extend at least 6 inches from an intersecting wall. Half walls 

or bookcases count as room separators if built-in. Movable or 

collapsible partitions or partitions consisting solely of shelves 

or cabinets are not considered built-in walls. A screened in porch

examination of a residential dwelling or a child-occupied facility 

following abatement to determine whether or not the abatement has 

been successfully completed. 

 "Visual Inspection for Risk Assessment" means the visual

to determine the existence of deteriorated lead-based paint or other 

potential sources of lead-based paint hazards. 

 "Weighted Arithmetic Mean" means the arithmetic mean of sample 

results weighted by the number of subsamples in each sample. Its 

purpose is to give influence to a sample relative to the surface area 

it represents. A single surface sample is comprised of a single 

subsample. A composite sample may contain from two to four subsamples 

of the same area as each other and of each single surface sample in 

the composite. The weighted arithmetic mean is obtained by summing, 

for all samples, the product of the sample's result multiplied by 

the number of subsamples in the sample, and dividing the sum by the 

total number of subsamples contained in all samples. For example, 

the weighted arithmetic mean of a single surface sample containing 

60 ug/ft2, a composite sample (3 subsamples) containing 100 ug/ft2, 
and a composite sample (4 subsamples) containing 110 ug/ft2 is 100 

ug/ft2. This result is based on the equation 

(60+(3*100)+(4*110))/(1+3+4).
