1.04 Definitions

A. Certified Renovator: A person that has completed the required renovator training course(s) accredited by EPA or an EPA authorized program which will teach them how to work lead safe including periodic refresher training, follows lead-safe work practices, and is certified with the EPA.

B. Child occupied facility: A building or portion of a building constructed before 1978 that is visited regularly by a child who is 6 years of age or less, on at least 2 different

LEAD 02 83 00 - 2

days within a given week, if each day’s visit is at least 3 hours and the combined weekly visit is at least 6 hours in length, and the combined annual visits are at least 60 hours in length.

C. Cleaning verification card: An EPA Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule cleaning verification method where a Certified Renovator compares each cleaning cloth representing a specific surface section to the example cleaning cloth on the cleaning verification card to check if areas have been adequately cleaned.

D. Exterior work: Work that is performed outside of a building where at no time waste, workers, materials, tools, or debris will enter or pass through the interior of the building.

E. Government’s Environmental Consultant (GEC): The professional individual who is employed either directly or indirectly by GSA, but not through the General Contractor or their sub-contractors to provide third party observations, project coordination, project air sampling, including clearance sampling, and oversight on behalf of GSA on every aspect of a lead project.

F. Lead Abatement Contractor/Supervisor (supervisor): Any person who supervises lead abatement workers. This person must be trained, accredited, and licensed (as required by State Regulation), and must also meet OSHA “competent person” criteria for lead abatement.

G. Lead-based paint: As defined by the EPA, paint or similar surface coatings that contain lead in equal to or in excess of 1.0 milligram per square centimeter (mg/cm2), 5000 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) [equivalent to 5000 parts per million (ppm)] or

0.5 percent by weight of lead.

H. Lead-containing paint: Paint or similar surface coatings that contain any detectable quantity of lead below EPA’s definition of lead-based paint.

I. Lead dust: Surface dust that contains lead.

J. Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule (RRP Rule): EPA rule that requires firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and pre-schools built before 1978 have their firm certified by EPA (or an EPA authorized state), use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers, and follow lead-safe work practices.

K. Level 1 lead work: Work activities involving lead-based paint where a negligible amount of lead-contaminated dust may be generated and a minimal amount of preparation and worker protection is required. A negligible amount is an amount that is non-visible or barely visible and localized. Level 1 work activities shall not include cleaning of visible, lead-contaminated dust. Examples of level 1 lead work may include minor investigative work, small installations such as outlets, drilling holes for equipment installation, or whole component removal. Level 1 lead work does not require a GEC.

L. Level 2 lead work: Work activities involving lead-based paint or lead dust where a moderate amount of lead-contaminated dust and/or debris is present or will be generated or disturbed and neither the quantities nor the duration of effort warrant full-scale work area preparation and worker protection. A moderate amount is an amount that is clearly visible, may contain debris and paint chips, but will not spread beyond a small area drop cloth to any other surface in the room.

LEAD 02 83 00 - 3

M. Level 3 lead work: Work activities involving lead-based paint or lead dust where lead-contaminated dust and/or debris is present or will be generated or disturbed in significant amounts and for enough time to warrant full-scale work area preparation and worker protection. A significant amount is an amount that cannot be contained by the use of a small area drop cloth.

N. Small area drop cloth: 6-mil thick poly sheeting or equivalent impermeable material with a minimum distance beyond the surfaces being renovated (6 feet for interior jobs and 10 feet for exterior jobs)

O. Work area: Areas where lead abatement activities are conducted.
