This regulation makes many important changes in the lead-based paint requirements applicable to housing funded through HUD's Community Planning and Development(CPD) programs. State and local jurisdictions that receive funding from the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Program, HOME Program, McKinney Act homeless programs and other CPD programs must prepare to meet these requirements by September 15, 2000. Attachment 1 ADDRESSING LEAD-BASED PAINT IN LOCAL HOUSING PROGRAMS--KEY LESSONS ' Why is Action Needed? ❑ Lead-based paint in older housing is the primary cause of lead poisoning ➢ 64 million homes have lead-based paint. ➢ 20 million homes have conditions that expose families to unsafe levels of lead. ❑ Lead-based paint threatens the health and future of families and our children. Without action,it also poses a threat to housing provider. ❑ Tremendous progress has been made in reducing lead poisoning.Lead-based paint in housing is the final remaining source of lead that directly threatens families. ❑ States and communities are meeting the challenge. The new regulation presents challenges—it will impact housing program production and operations. Programs in many communities are already successfully addressing lead. r Practical actions are available that protect families Understanding Lead and Lead-Based Paint Hazards i ❑ Lead poisoning does not have obvious symptoms,but it has long-term effects. Some potential effects include damage to brain and nervous system, loss of intelligence,and learning difficulties. i ➢ The only vray to know for sure if someone has been poisoned is to perform a blood test I ❑ Not all lead-based paint is a hazard. i Intact lead-based paint does not cause lead exposure. 9 Lead hazards include deteriorated paint,lead-contaminated dust and lead-contaminated soil. Meeting the New Lead-Based Paint Regulation ❑ The new lead-based paint regulation emphasizes practical solutions. i I Required actions depend upon the activity,as well as the amount and duration of Federal assistance. Lead hazard reduction,rather than abatement ❑ The regulation gives States and communities flexibility. 2 TAKING ACTION TO ADDRESS LEAD-BASED PAINT By September 15,2000,successful State and local housing programs receiving Federal funds will have: ❑ Revised their program procedures and documents to implement the additional steps required for. > Providing notification > Identifying lead hazards > Performing lead hazard reduction,using safe work practices and achieving"clearance" > Implementing ongoing maintenance where required > Responding to lead poisoned children • Obtained training for contractors and program staff on lead hazard evaluation and reduction. • Developed methods and assembled materials to educate rental property owners, homeowners,and occupants i of rental housing about the new requirements. • Established working relationships with lead professionals and key partners,such as risk assessors and clearance technicians, public health departments and HUD lead grantees. O Created procedures for determining when is it more cost-effective to presume that lead hazards are present, and i when it makes sense to evaluate a property. — 3 � N N d C U O (O d c O O U U •N N N t C 0 = C CA .'d H •f9 r Jo C m - C 0 CS d co m 'm N •N c0 = C 'l4 - N N .0 Y 0 O S U 7 w •�•'N cn C) N t6 U C U O L CD �.

Also measured as greater than 0.5 percent lead or has 5,000 parts per million(ppm) lead by dry weight. Lead-Based Paint Hazards: Housing conditions that cause human exposure to unsafe leve!s of lead from paint. These conditions include deteriorated lead-based paint;friction,impact or chewable painted surfaces;lead-contaminated dust;or lead- contaminated soil. LEAD HAZARD EVALUATION Visual Assessment:A visual evaluation of interior and exterior painted surfaces to identify specific conditions that contribute to lead-based paint hazards. The assessment is performed by a certified risk assessor or Housing Quality Standards (HQS) -inspector trained in visual assessment. Paint Testing:Testing of specific surfaces, by XRF(x-ray fluorescence)or lab analysis,to determine the lead content of these surfaces, performed by a certified lead-based paint inspector or certified risk assessor. Risk Assessment:A comprehensive evaluation for lead-based paint hazards that includes paint testing, dust and soil sampling, and a visual evaluation.The risk assessment report identifies lead hazards and appropriate lead hazard reduction methods. A certified risk assessor must conduct the assessment. Lead Hazard Screen:A limited risk assessment activity that can be performed instead of a risk assessment in units that meet certain criteria(e.g.good condition). The screen must be performed by a certified risk assessor. If the unit fails the lead hazard screen,a full risk assessment must be performed. Clearance Examination: Clearance is performed after hazard reduction, rehabilitation or maintenance activities to determine r a unit is safe for occupancy. It involves a visual assessment,analysis of dust and soil samples,and preparation of report.A certified risk assessor,paint inspector,or clearance technician(independent from entityMdividual conducting paint stabiliza5on or hazard reduction)conducts clearance. LEAD HAZARD REDUCTION Paint Stabilization: An interim control method that stabilizes painted surfaces and addressed the underlying cause of deterioration. Steps include repairing defective surfaces,removing loose paint and applying new paint. Interim Controls: Set of measures to temporarily control lead-based paint hazards. Interim control methods must to completed by qualified workers using safe work practices. Follow-up monitoring is needed. Standard Treatments: A complete set of interim control methods that when used together temporarily control all po`ential lead hazards in a unit.Because they address all conditions,a risk assessment or other evaluation is not needed.Standard treatments must be completed by qualified workers using safe work practices. As with interim controls,follow-up monitoring is needed. Abatement: Pleasures to permanently control lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards. 6 LEAD POISONING Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level:The level of lead in blood that requires intervention in a child under age six. This is defined as a blood lead level of 20 pgldL(micrograms.per deciliter)of whole blood or above for a single test,or blood lead levels of 15-19 pg/dL in two tests taken at least three months apart LEAD-BASED PAINT-KEY UNITS OF MEASUREMENT Ng (Microgram):A microgram is 1/100&1 of a milligram(or one thousand micrograms are needed to equal a milligram). To put this unit into perspective,a penny weighs2 grams. To get a microgram,you would need to divide the penny into 2 million pieces. A microgram is one of those two million pieces. ft2 (Square foot): One square foot is equal to an area that has a length of one foot(12 inches)and a width of one foot(12 inches). p 91 L: Micrograms per deciliter,used to measure the level of lead in children's blood to establish whether intervention is needed. A deciliter is a IiWe less than half a cup. As noted above,a microgram is the same weight as one part of a penny divided into two million parts. µg/gram: Micrograms per gram of sample,equivalent to parts per million(ppm)by weight. pglft2: Micrograms per square feet is the measurement used to measure levels of lead in dust and soil samples.The clearance report should have the results listed in pglft2(micrograms per square foot). mglcm2: Milligrams per square centimeter,used for paint by XRF machines. percent: Percent by weight, used usually for lead-based paint(1 percent= 10,000µg/gram) ppm: Pats per million by weight,equivalent to}Lg/gram (10,000 ppm= 1 percent). LEAD-BASED PAINT STANDARDS Paint—Definition of Lead-Based Paint Paint that contains at least: ➢ 1 milligram per centimeters square(mg/cm2)of lead; ➢ 0.5 percent lead;or ➢ 5,000 parts per million(ppm)lead by dry weight Dust—Thresholds for Lead-Contamination(Risk Assessment/Clearance) ➢ Floors 40 pglftl ➢ Interior window sifts 250 pglft2 ➢ Window troughs(Clearance only) 800 P91ft, Soil—Thresholds for Soil Contamination ➢ Play areas used by children under age 6 400 pglgram Other areas 2,000 pg/gram Attachment 5—SUMMARY OF MAJOR REGULATION CHANGES BY ACTIVITY TABLE 1: REHABILITATION ACTIVITIES CURRENT REQUIREMENTS NEW REQUIREMENTS (All activities) <$50001unit $5000-$25,0001unit >$25,0001unit Applicability Applicability Under the current regulation,the lead-based paint The new regulation outlines lead-based paint requirements specifically for requirements for rehabilitation are the same as those Federally funded rehabilitation work. These requirements apply to HUD for other activities. Each CPD program has its own programs that provide assistance for rehabilitation,including CPD-funded lead-based paint regulations. rehabilitation activities. Lead-based paint requirements are similar across The lead-based paint requirements for rehabilitation work,as described in this CPD programs(most simply refer to 24 CFR 35).The part of the regulation,are the_same regardless of the source of program HOP,IE program has the most extensive guidance on funding,but they differ based on the level of funding to a property. requirements. CDBG applies lead requirements only to rehabilitation activities.

Once hazard reduction work is completed, a clearance examination must be performed by a certified professional to ensure that no lead-based paint hazards remain.Clearance is required for all categories of rehabilitation activities. For rehabilitation assistance<5,000 per unit,clearance is required only for the worksite. For rehabilitation assistance>$5,000 per unit,clearance is required for the unit,common areas,and exterior areas where rehabilitation took place. Clearance involves a visual assessment and dust testing after cleanup is complete. A clearance report must be prepared. If abatement is conducted,an abatement report is required in place of a clearance report Ongoing Maintenance and Monitoring Ongoing Maintenance None required.

These areas face conditions that make it an unreasonable burden to meet some of the new lead-based paint rehabilitation requirements: Special provisions in the new regulation establish less stringent rehabilitation requirements for grantees in insular areas. Grantees must still meet the new requirements for tenant-based rental assistance and other program activities(e.g. acquisition,leasing,support service, and operations activities) that must be met by all grantees. Federal funding up to and including $5,000 per unit. There are no lead hazard evaluation requirements in insular area projects receiving this level of funding.However,the lead hazard reduction requirements are the same. Any paint disturbed during rehabilitation must be repaired,and safe work practices must be used during rehabilitation and the repair of disturbed paint. After the work is completed, the worksite must pass a clearance examination before occupants are allowed to retum to areas where work was performed. Federal funding over$5,000 per unit Reduced lead hazard evaluation and reduction requirements are established-for projects in insular areas for.rehabilitation greater than 55,000. Before rehabilitation work starts,a visual assessment must be conducted by someone trained to identify deteriorated paint. (There is no paint testing or risk assessment requirements.) Grantees must conduct paint stabilization on all deteriorated paint and all surfaces that will be disturbed during rehabilitation. (There are no interim controls or abatement requirements.) The dwelling units and common areas that service those units must pass a clearance examination before occupants are allowed to occupy rooms or spaces where paint stabilization took place. 12 Disclosure of Information on Lead-Based Paint and/or Lead-Based Paint Hazards Lead Warning Statement Every purchaser of any interest In residential real property on which a residential dwelling was built prior to 1978 is notified that such property may present exposure to lead from lead-based paint that may place young children at risk of developing lead poisoning.

IMPORTA Leath From Paint., Dust, and Snit Can Be Dangerous If Not Managed Properly FACT: Lead exposure can harm young children and babies even before they are born. FACT: Even children who seem healthy can have high levels of lead in their bodies. FACT: People can get lead in their bodies by breathing or swallowing lead dust, or by eating soil or paint chips containing lead. FACT: People have many options for reducing lead hazards. In most cases, lead-based paint that is in good condition is not a hazard. FACT: Removing lead-based paint improperly can increase the danger to your family. If you think your home might have lead hazards, read this pamphlet to learn some simple steps to protect your family. i Lead Gets in the Body in Many !Mays I thePeople can get lead in their body if they: United * Put their hands or other objects covered with lead dust in their mouths.

A risk assessment tells you if there are any sources of serious lead exposure (such as peeling paint and lead dust). It also tells you what actions to take to address these hazards. Have qualified professionals do the work. There are standards in place for certifying lead-based paint professionals to ensure the work is done safely, reliably, and effectively. Contact your state lead poisoning prevention program for more information. Call 1-800- • 424-LEAD for a list of contacts in your area. Trained professionals use a range of methods when checking your home, including: Visual inspection of paint condition and location. A portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) machine. Lab tests of paint samples. Surface dust tests. Home test kits for lead are available, but studies suggest that they are not always accurate. Consumers should not rely on these tests before doing renovations or to assure safety. 6 What You Can Do Now To Protect Your Family If you suspect that your house has lead hazards, you can take some immediate steps to reduce your family's risk: ' " �- 4; If you rent, notify our landlord of peeling or chipping paint. v Clean up paint chips immediately.
