The
following
post­
abatement
clearance
activities
shall
be
conducted
as
appropriate
based
upon
the
extent
or
manner
of
abatement
activities
conducted
in
or

the
residential
dwelling
or
child­
occupied
facility:

(
A)
After
conducting
an
abatement
with
containment
between
abated
and
unabated
areas,
one
dust
sample
shall
be
taken
from
one
interior
window
sill
and
from
one
window
trough
(
if

one
dust
sample
shall
be
taken
from
the
floor
outside
the
containment
area.
If
there
are
less
than
four
rooms,
hallways
or
stairwells
within
the
containment
area,
then
all
rooms,
hallways
or
stairwells
shall
be
sampled.

(
B)
After
conducting
an
abatement
with
no
containment,
two
dust
samples
shall
be
taken
from
each
of
no
less

four
rooms,
hallways
or
stairwells
in
the
residential
dwelling
or
child­
occupied
facility.
One
dust
sample
shall
be
taken
from
one
interior
window
sill
and
window
trough
(
if
present)
and
one
dust
sample
shall
be
taken
from
the
floor
of
each
room,
hallway
or
stairwell
selected.
If
there
are
less
than
four
rooms,
hallways
or
stairwells
within
the
residential
dwelling
or
child­
occupied
facility
then
all
rooms,
hallways
or
stairwells
shall
be
sampled.

(
C)
Following
an
exterior
paint
abatement,
a
visible
inspection
shall
be
conducted.
All
horizontal
surfaces
in
the
outdoor
living
area
closest
to
the
abated
surface
shall
be
found
to
be
cleaned
of
visible
dust
and
debris.
In
addition,
a
visual
inspection
shall
be
conducted
to
determine
the
presence
of
paint
chips
on
the
dripline
or
next
to
the
foundation
below
any
exterior
surface
abated.
If
paint
chips
are
present,
they
must
be
removed
from
the
site
and
properly
disposed
of,
according
to
all
applicable
Federal,
State
and
local
requirements.

(
vi)
The
rooms,
hallways
or
stairwells
selected
for
sampling
shall
be
selected
according
to
documented
methodologies.

(
vii)
The
certified
inspector
or
risk
assessor
shall
compare
the
residual
lead
level
(
as
determined
by
the
laboratory
analysis)
from
each
single
surface
dust
sample
with
clearance
levels
in
paragraph
(
e)(
8)(
viii)
of
this
section
for
lead
in
dust
on

composite
dust
sample
with
the
applicable
clearance
levels
for
lead
in
dust
on
floors,
interior
window
sills,
and
window
troughs
divided
by
half
the
number
of
subsamples
in
the
composite
sample.
If
the
residual
lead
level
in
a
single
surface
dust
sample
equals
or
exceeds
the
applicable
clearance
level
or
if
the
residual
lead
level
in
a
composite
dust
sample
equals
or
exceeds
the
applicable
clearance
level
divided
by
half
the
number
of
subsamples
in
the
composite
sample,
the
components
represented
by
the
failed
sample
shall
be
recleaned
and
retested.

(
viii)
The
clearance
levels
for
lead
in
dust
are
40
?
g/
ft2
for
floors,
250
?
g/
ft2
for
interior
window
sills,
and
400

dust
sampling
to
provide
a
95
percent
level
of
confidence
that
no
more
than
