RISK ASSESSMENT - an on-site investigation to determine and report the existence, nature, severity, and location of lead-based paint hazards, which, in accordance with Title X, include dust-lead and soil-lead hazards, as well as deteriorated lead-based paint, as well as lead-based paint on friction, impact and chewable surfaces. A risk assessment includes limited dust wipe sampling or other environmental sampling techniques, identification of hazard reduction options, and a report explaining the results of the investigation and options for reducing lead-based paint hazards.
CLEARANCE - an examination conducted after hazard reduction, rehabilitation, or maintenance activities (a) to visually determine that deteriorated surfaces that are known or presumed to be lead-based paint have been controlled or abated and that visible dust, debris, paint chips, or other residue have been cleaned up; and (b) to collect samples of settled dust and test them for lead content to determine that no dust-lead hazards remain.
INTERIM CONTROLS - a set of measures designed to reduce temporarily human exposure or likely exposure to lead-based paint hazards. Interim controls include, but are not limited to, repairs, painting, temporary containment, specialized cleaning, clearance, ongoing lead-based paint maintenance activities, and the establishment and operation of management and resident education programs.
VISUAL ASSESSMENT - means looking for, as applicable:
(1) Deteriorated paint;
(2) Visible surface dust, debris and residue as part of a risk assessment or clearance examination; or
(3) The completion or failure of a hazard reduction measure.
PAINT STABILIZATION - means repairing any physical defect in the substrate of a painted surface that is causing paint deterioration, removing loose paint and other material from the surface to be treated, and applying a new protective coating or paint.
HAZARD REDUCTION - measures designed to reduce or eliminate human exposure to lead-based paint hazards through methods including interim controls or abatement or a combination of the two.
ABATEMENT - any set of measures designed to permanently eliminate lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards. Abatement includes:
(1) The removal of lead-based paint and dust-lead hazards, the permanent enclosure or encapsulation of lead-based paint, the replacement of components or fixtures painted with lead-based paint, and the removal or permanent covering of soil-lead hazards, and
(2) All preparation, cleanup, disposal, and post abatement clearance testing activities associated with such measures.
