6. Definitions:

6.1 Abatement - is a comprehensive process of eliminating exposure or potential exposure to lead paint and lead containing soil and dust which must include testing, measures for worker protection, containment of dust and debris, cleanup and disposal of wasteland clearance testing.

6.2 Encapsulation involves resurfacing or covering surfaces, and sealing or caulking with durable materials, Bo as to prevent or control chalking, flaking lead-containing substances from becoming part of house dust or accessible to children. Painting or wallpapering in not considered to be encapsulation.

6.3 High Efficiency Particle Air Filter (MCPJL) - means a filter capable of filtering out particles of 0.3 microns or greater from a body of air at 99.97% efficiency or greater.

6.4 High Phosphate Detergent - detergent which contains at least 5% trisodium phosphate (TSP).

6.5 In-Place Management - a series of recurrent actions to reduce the lead hazard until such time as abatement can be carried out. Usually involves paint stabilization and regular cleaning of the premises.

6.6 Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) is one of the tests for the determinations of whether a solid waste is classified as a hazardous substance.

7.0 Requirements for Lead Abatement/In-Place Management Contractors:
