PURPOSE: This rule provides definitions and acronyms
				  to be used in the interpretation and enforcement of
				  19
				  CSR 30-70.600 through
				  19
				  CSR 30-70.640.
(1) Adequate quality control-a plan or design
				which ensures the authenticity, integrity, and accuracy of samples, including
				dust, soil, and paint chip or paint film samples. Adequate quality control also
				includes provisions for representative sampling.
(2) Authorized personnel-licensed lead
				workers, licensed lead risk assessors, licensed lead supervisors, licensed lead
				contractors, licensed project designers, representatives of the department and
				any persons authorized by the department to enter regulated areas.
(3) Bare soil area-any continuous three (3)
				square foot area or more of soil that has no or little plant growth or other
				covering, and that may be accessible to a child or may provide a source of
				airborne lead-bearing dust, including the sand in sandboxes.
(4) Clearance level-values that indicate the
				maximum concentration of lead allowed in surface dust, soil or water following
				an abatement activity.
(5) Common
				area-a portion of a building that is generally accessible to all occupants
				including, but not limited to, hallways, garages, laundry rooms, community
				centers, boundary fences, stairways, playgrounds and recreational
				rooms.
(6) Component or building
				component-a specific design, structural element or fixture of a building,
				dwelling or child-occupied facility that can be distinguished from each other
				by form, function and location.
(7)
				Containment-the structural system for protecting residents, the general public
				and the environment by controlling exposure to lead dust and debris created
				during a lead abatement project.
(8) Critical barrier containment-two (2) or
				more layers of six (6)-mil poly, or thicker, sealed over the entrance into a
				work area to prevent lead dust and debris from migrating outside of a regulated
				area.
(9) Disposal-the depositing
				or placing of lead-bearing components or a lead-bearing substance as
				waste.
(10) Distinct painting
				history-the application history, as indicated by its visual appearance or a
				record of application, over time, of paint or other surface coatings to a
				component or room.
(11) Documented
				methodologies-methods or protocols used to sample for the presence of lead in
				paint, dust, soil and water while incorporating adequate quality
				control.
(12) Elevated blood lead
				level (EBL)-an excessive absorption of lead that is a confirmed concentration
				of lead in whole blood of greater than or equal to ten micrograms per deciliter
				(>=10 [MICRO]g/dl) in persons under age eighteen (<18).
(13) Emergency situation-any lead abatement
				project that results from a sudden, unexpected event which poses an immediate
				threat to human health or the environment.
(14) EPA-United States Environmental
				Protection Agency.
(15) Hazardous
				waste-any waste designated as hazardous by
				10 CSR
				25-4.261 and/or 40 CFR 261.
(16) High efficiency particulate air (HEPA)
				filter-a filter capable of removing particles of 0.3 microns or larger from air
				at 99.97 percent or greater efficiency.
(17) HUD-United States Department of Housing
				and Urban Development.
(18) HUD
				guidelines-the most recent version of the "Guidelines for the Evaluation and
				Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing," published by HUD.
(19) Industrial lead abatement-a lead
				abatement project performed on a structure not defined as a dwelling or
				child-occupied facility which includes, but is not limited to, bridges, water
				towers, holding tanks and other superstructures. Industrial lead abatement does
				not include abatement of a
de minimis
surface area of less
				than fifty (50) square feet of a lead-bearing substance per lead abatement
				project.
(20) Intact paint
				surface-any painted surface that is not chipped, chalked, peeled, flaked or
				otherwise separated from its substrate or that is not attached to a damaged
				substrate.
(21) Lead hazard
				screen-a risk assessment activity that involves limited paint and dust sampling
				as described in
				19 CSR
				30-70.620(7).
(22) Living area-any area of a residential
				dwelling used by one (1) or more children age six (6) and under, including, but
				not limited to, living rooms, kitchen areas, dens, play rooms and children's
				bedrooms.
(23) Multi-family
				dwelling-a structure that contains more than one (1) separate residential
				dwelling unit, which is used or occupied, or intended to be used or occupied,
				in whole or in part, as the home or residence of one (1) or more
				persons.
(24) NLLAP-National Lead
				Laboratory Accreditation Program.
(25) OLLA-Missouri Department of Health
				Office of Lead Licensing and Accreditation, or subsequent designations of such
				office.
(26) Permanent-an activity
				that is designed to eliminate exposure to lead hazards for at least twenty (20)
				years, under typical conditions, from the date of application.
(27) Poly-polyethylene sheeting.
(28) RCRA-Resource Conservation and Recovery
				Act.
(29) Regulated area-an area
				where a lead-bearing substance activity is being conducted.
(30) Room equivalent-an identifiable part of
				a residence, such as a room, a house exterior, a foyer, staircase, hallway or
				an exterior area (i.e., play areas, painted swing sets, painted sandboxes,
				etc.).
(31) Structural integrity-a
				professional judgment as to the condition of a substrate, component or
				structure itself.
(32) Substrate-a
				surface to which a surface coating has been or may be applied. Examples of
				substrates are wood, metal, plaster, gypsum, concrete and brick.
(33) Surface coating integrity-a professional
				judgment as to whether a surface coating is cracked, chipped, peeling,
				blistering, flaking or otherwise deteriorated in any way.
