5.2.5.8.5.1 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 present) and one dust sample shall be taken from the floors of each of no less than four (4) rooms, hallways or stairwells within the containment area. In addition, one dust sample shall be taken from the floor outside the containment area. If there are less than four (4) rooms, hallways or stairwells within the containment area, then all rooms, hallways or stairwells shall be sampled.

5.2.5.8.5.2 After conducting an abatement with no containment, two (2) dust samples shall be taken from each of no less than four (4) rooms, hallways or stairwells in the residential dwelling or child-occupied facility. One (1) 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.

5.2.5.8.5.3 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.

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

5.2.5.8.7 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 Section 5.2.5.8.8 for lead in dust on floors, interior window sills, and window troughs or from each 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.

5.2.5.8.8 The clearance levels for lead in dust are 40 µg/ft2 for floors, 250 µg/ft2 for interior window sills, and 400 µg/ft2 for window troughs.

5.2.5.9 In a multi-family dwelling with similarly constructed and maintained residential dwellings, random sampling for the purposes of clearance may be conducted provided:

5.2.5.9.1 The certified individuals who abate or clean the residential dwellings do not know which residential dwelling will be selected for the random sample.

5.2.5.9.2 A sufficient number of residential dwellings are selected for dust sampling to provide a 95 percent level of confidence that no more than five (5) percent or 50 of the residential dwellings (whichever is smaller) in the randomly sampled population exceed the appropriate clearance levels.

5.2.5.9.3 The randomly selected residential dwellings shall be sampled and evaluated for clearance according to the procedures found in Section 5.2.5.8.
