Four samples <br /> indicated a positive resutt for the presence o(lead. Chip samples were taken of those paints with a posilive 'Lead <br /> Check" indication and analyzed for lead content by Atomic Absorplion (AA) methodology. The foilowing samples <br /> ,.. exceeded the HUD lead-based paint guideline oi 0.5°h Iead by weight: <br /> . All whNe interior and exterior paims showed a posRive"Lead Check"swab indication. SubsequeM AA analysis <br /> showed the presence of lead in percentages ranging from 7.6% to 38%. All other paints showed a negative <br /> ' °Lead Check"swab indication. <br /> Appendix B Lead Svab Sample Summary in:ludes: Sample Number,Sample Location, Sample Descxiption,Color <br /> . . of Outer and Inner Layers Multiple Layers(Yes or No),Chip Collected(Yes or No),and sample analysis resufts. <br /> If the building is to be renovaled or remode�d there are procedures regarding the disturbance or removal of the <br /> lead•based paints that�be followed (.e. inftial air monitoring, Gearance sampling, etc.). These procedures wn <br /> be found in HUD-0006700 Guidelines for the Evalua6on and Conbol of Lead-9ased Paint Hazartis in Housing. It is <br /> not required that these regulationslprocedures be ulilized on this projed, however because these are the only <br /> available guidelines for the removal of lead-based paints PRE feels it necessary to inform you of the existence of <br /> these guidelines. <br /> The only rvles or regulations that currently apply to lead-based paints are WAC 296-155-17603 Scope' and WAC <br /> 296-155-17607 Permissible Exposure Limit". InNiai air moniloring musl be pertormed on employees doing <br /> renovation or remodeling work in aieas found to have materials containing lead. Because the WAC codes do not <br /> specify an amount of lead that would establish a material as lead containing, R musi be assumed that a malerial <br /> containing a�lead is regulated by these codes. <br /> Prior to disposal,the wasle stream generated from the renovation or demolition of all structures must be analyzerl <br /> using EPA Method 7371 - Toxicity Charaderistic Leachale Procedure (fCLP) - Lead by Atomic Absorption <br /> Spectrophotometry. Wasle found to have a leachabilily greater than or equal to 5 ppm must be disposed of as <br /> hazardous waste;waste with a leachability of less than 5 ppm may be disposed of as solid waste. <br /> Swab sampling of the paints In this building was intended to identify those paints that might contain lead. Samples <br /> identified as positive by the swabs may be chip sampled lo establish the actuai percentage of lead in the paint. <br /> Identifying paints wilh high lead contents aids in the separation of materials that may affect the TCLP resutts of the <br /> demolitioNrenovation wasle stream. <br /> Low percentages of lead can still exist in those paints considered negative by swab sampling. Painis with such low <br /> levels of lead would not be considered lead-based paints by the HUD Guidelines, and it is highly unlikely that they <br /> couid negaiively affect the TCLP sample of the wasle stream from the associated structure. However, as per!he <br /> WAC codes,any presence of lead i�paint would require air monRoring be performed prior to and during renovatfon <br /> or demolilion activities. <br /> • WAC 296•166•17603 Seope.WAC 286•156•1�6,L�d,appiies to atl construclion worfc where an empbyee may be oaupationaM e�osed to lead.
