Compilation of Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia › Department 391 - RULES OF GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES › Chapter 391-3 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Subject 391-3-19 - HAZARDOUS SITE RESPONSE › Appendix (391-3-19) IV - STANDARD ADULT LEAD MODEL (ALM) FOR SOIL

Current through Rules and Regulations filed
				through June 27, 2024
U.S. EPA's Adult Lead Model provided
								in this appendix applies to the protection of industrial workers at
								nonresidential sites at which it can be demonstrated that children are not now
								exposed, nor will become exposed, to lead in soil or soil-derived dust at the
								site. U.S. EPA's ALM attempts to protect against elevated blood lead (PbB)
								levels in the unborn fetus of women who spend considerable time at the site.
								Protection of the PbB of a hypothetical fetus ensures that any other human
								receptor at the site will be adequately protected.
The ALM ultimately involves two
								equations. Equation 1 establishes the average adult PbB level that is
								protective of the fetus, which is an input to Equation 2. Equation 2 calculates
								the target soil cleanup level for no more than 5% probability that fetal PbB
								exceeds the target PbB and the concentration that would generate the average
								adult PbB level indicated in Equation 1.

Current through Rules and Regulations filed through June 27,
				2024
(1) Vehicles which
				fail a reinspection despite expenditures over a set dollar amount on
				appropriate repairs and which have met certain other criteria may be granted a
				waiver from complying with the inspection requirements for that registration
				period. Expenditures must be reasonable costs as determined by the
				Director.
(2) In order to obtain a
				waiver the following criteria must have been met:
(a) Repair Costs:
1. A yearly expenditure, as required by OCGA
				12-9-48(d)(2),
				must have been made on qualifying repairs after the vehicle fails the initial
				inspection. The amount will be adjusted each year to reflect the change in the
				Consumer Price Index after 1989, which was $450. At the start of each
				inspection term, EPD will determine the new effective amount in accordance with
				these requirements and will make that information available at the GCAF
				website,
www.cleanairforce.com
. For
				vehicles which otherwise qualify for waivers based on a prior calendar
				inspection term, the waiver limit shall be that prior year's level of
				qualifying repairs.
2. No cost for
				labor performed by a vehicle owner in the repair of his or her own vehicle
				shall be applied toward the repair waiver amount, except that a fleet owner may
				apply the actual cost of labor and parts, excluding any and all overhead costs,
				toward the waiver amount.

(2) A current valid passing Certificate of
				Emission Inspection is not required for any motor vehicle that might otherwise
				be subject to a pre-sale emission inspection, but is sold for salvage or for
				parts rather than for use as a motor vehicle on the streets and highways,
				provided that said vehicle is not in fact operated on the streets and highways,
				but is towed or hauled by some other vehicle. The purpose for which the vehicle
				is sold shall be indicated by the seller on the bill of sale.
