HISTORY
Since
October
1994,
the
District
of
Columbia
has
received
federal
grant
funds
Erom
EPA,
which
has
helped
the
District
of
ColumbiaGovemment
in
establishinga
lead­
based
paint
abatement
program.
The
program
developed
legislation
and
regulations
to
regulatethe
removal
of
lead­
based
paint.
Proposed
lead
abatementcontrol
legislation
was
initially
introduced
to
the
District
of
ColumbiaCity
Council s
and
referred
to
the
Council s
Committeeon
Housing
and
Urban
affiiirs
during
June
20,1996.
The
Committeeheld
a
public
round
tableto
receive
comments
from
the
public
on
the
proposed
regulations.
At
that
hearing,
several
advocate
organizations
in
support
of
promoting
and
implementing
safe
lead
abatement
practices
tesWied
in
support
of
a
lead
abatement
program
in
the
District.
Some
comments
were
incorporated
into
the
language.
Mer
Council
approval,
the
Mayor
approved
it
and
it
passed
approval
by
the
District
of
ColumbiaFinancial
Recovery
Authority
and
U.
S.
Congress.
In
October
1997,
proposed
regulations
implementingthe
Act
were
published
for
review
and
public
comment.
We
received
no
comments
and

INFRASTRUCTURE
OR

CAPACITY
TO
EFFECTIVELY
CARRY
OUT
A
STATE
PROGRAM
BACKGROUND
The
District
of
Columbia
Government sEnvironmental
Regulation
Administration
has
recently
undergone
transition.
In
December,
1997,
the
administration
was
transferred
from
the
Department
of
Consumer
and
Regulatory
Affairs
to
the
newly
established
D.
C.
Department
or
Health.
The
environmental
components
new
name
is
the
Environmental
Health
Administration.
As
of
March,
1998,
the
StateLead
Program
is
located
within
the
Lead
Poisoning
and
Prevention
Division.
(
See
OrganizationalChart
Appendix
E).
This
Division
is
dedicated
to
centralizing
all
lead
programs
includinglead
screening,
lead
inspections,
lead
certificationand
training
and
lead
abatement
(
governed
by
HUD
policies).
This
consolidation
enhances
the
District
of
Columbia s
lead
program
service
delivery
mechanisms,
ensuring
the
highest
standard
of
childhood
lead
screening/
detectionand
lead
abatement
is
achieved
by
certified
individualscreating
a
more
lead
safe
environment.

AUTHORIZING
PROGRAM
ENTITY
The
StateLead
Program
canies
out
the
provisions
of
the
act.
All
individualsor
business
entities
will:

a)
Be
certified
to
perform
any
lead

paint
abatement
activities;

b)
Be

and
fJ
Pay
the
associated

The
business
entity
must
submit
and
certifi
compliance
for
hazardous
waste
prescribed
by
Title
20
DCMR
Chapter
40­
54.

the

are
another
essential
element
in

governmental
infrastructureof
this
program.
The
mechanism
used
to
insure
compliance
will
be
a
measure
of
program
effectiveness.
The
Department
of
Health s
new
Ofice
of
Enforcement,
Compliance
and
Environmental

and
Ofice
of
Hearing

will
be
charged
with
adjudicating
all
environmental

At

in

and
the

Additionally,

cases
and
attorneys
in
the

Attorney s
OEce
are
available
for
criminal
cases
filed
for
the
Environmental

During
the
initial
start
up
of
the
program,
it
is
anticipated
that
federal
supplemental
fbnding
levels
would
have
to
increaseto
sustain
the
program.
However,
as
program
rules
and
regulations
are
implemented
and
enforced,
we
envision
that
the
degree
of
funding
supplement
awarded
by
EPA
will
decrease.
It
is
expected
that
program
generated
revenue
will
be
returned
to
the
program
to
supplement
resources
needed
to
sustain
the
program.
We
will
also
seek
District
government
appropriated
fbnding
as
the
Lead
Poisoning
and
PreventionDivision
becomes
fblly
integrated.

REVENUE
SOURCES
The
District
of
Columbiawill
generate
revenue
resources
throughthe
implementation
of
the
Lead­
Based
Paint
Abatement
Program.
A
quantitative
estimate
from
the
collectionof
fees
for
certification,
accreditationand
permits
is
as
follows:

*
*
This
figuredoes
not
factor
in
the
fines
for
criminal
and
civil
penalties.

If
EPA
funding
remains
the
same
as
in
FY 
97,
four
(
4)
of
the
13positions
can
continue
to
be
funded.
The
personnel
cost
(
including
fringe
and
indirect
cost)
for
the
remaining
nine
(
9)
positions
is
approximately
$
506,828
and
this
excludes
non
personal
services.
Conceivably,
the
predicted
revenue
of
$
136,500
and
subsequently
monetary
sanctionsfrom
fineswill
cover,
in
time,
a
percentage
of
thisoverhead
costs.
However,
there
is
no
established
policy
that
creates
a
dedicated
hnd
for
the
Lead­
Based
Paint
Program
to
collect
revenues
for
this
use.
Policy
dictates
that
all
programs
generating
revenues
for
the
District
of
Columbiabe
deposited
in
the
District
of
Columbia
General
Fund.
The
Lead­
Based
Paint
Program
will
make
every
effort
to
allocatethese
resources
for
personnel
and
service
delivery
costs,
however,
these
resources
alone
will
not
be
able
to
sustain
the
current
program.
For
continued
program
success,
monetary
assistancewill
continue
to
be
needed
by
EPA
and/
or
DC
appropriations.

LEAD­
BASED
PAINT
TASKFORCE
The
District
of
Columbia,
in
developing
the
infrastructure
and
regulatory
authority
to
carry
out
a
State
program
has
also
augmented
its
effectiveness
through
the
Mayor s
Lead­
Based
Paint
Taskforce.

Effective
October
3,
1994,
Mayor
Sharon
Pratt­
Kelly
issued
Mayoral
Order
94
­
206
(
see
Appendix
F)
establishing
a
Lead­
Based
Paint
Taskforce.
The
purpose
was
to
provide
a
coordinated,
cost
effective
proactive
as
well
as
reactive
Lead
Abatement
Program
in
the
District
of
Columbia.
Primary
fbnctions
included
the
development
of
a
citywide
strategic
plan
to
reduce
lead­
based
paint
contamination,
identifyingresources
for
prevention,
assess
district
agency
lead
related
needs,
improve
screening
and
tracking
and
indicate
the
public
and
private
sectors,
through
joint
government
and
community
involvement.

The
immediate
advantages
in
establishingthe
taskforce
are
to
engage
all
related
agencies
in
dialogue,
interact
with
specific
community
groups
and
provide
proactive
solutions
for
a
 

citywide
problem.
The
Taskforcewasreestablished
under
Mayoral
Order

DETERMINING
WHICH
REMEDY
TO
USE
In
determining
which
remedy
to
select,
the
following
factors
are
to
be
considered:
the
nature
and
severity
of
the
violation(
s),
the
urgency
with
which
the
remedial
activity
must
be
taken,
whether
the
violator
has
taken
good
faith
measures
to
come
into
compliance,
and
whether
the
violation
is
a
repeat
offense.

In
most
cases
good
communication
canfoster
compliance,
and
maintain
goodwill
without
the
need
to
resort
to
the
more
severe
enforcement
remedies,
such
as
Notice
of
Infraction,
or
a
Cease
and
Desist
Order.

To
ensure
that
the
Program
uniformly
imposes
enforcement
penalties
for
violations
of
the
lead­
based
paint
laws
and
regulations,
types
of
violations
are
grouped
into
classes
of
infractions
pursuant
to
the
Civil
Infractions
Act.

When
violations
are
especially
egregious
in
nature
in
terms
of
the
threat
of
harm,
or
the
level
of
culpability,
or
both,
the
matter
should
be
considered
for
criminal
investigation.
The
Division
wilI
determine
whether
to
exercise
its
discretion
to
pursue
a
criminal
investigation
and
where
appropriate
to
refer
the
matter
to

and
may
take
the
following
forms;

1.
Random
Inspections
willbe
conducted
on
observation
of
lead
hazards.
The
Mayor
may
inspectanyresidential
premises
where
there
is
reason
to
believe
lead

present
a
health
hazard
because
of
the
presence
of
a
child

Inspections
Resulting
from
Referrals.
The
primary
source
of
referrals
will
be
from
the
Lead
Poisoning
Screening
and
Education
Program,
and
foster
or
child
care
facilities.
This
is
similar
to
tips
and

Appendix
C),
however,
these
referrals
are
expeeted
and
are
an
integral
part
of
the
program.
Case
history
and
all
other
supporting
documentation
are
gathered
before
beginning
the
investigation.
The
Department
willalso
target
for
referrals
the
following
segments
in
its
regulated
community:
homeowners,
contractors,
tenants,
and
parents
of
