inspection and collection/analysis of dust, paint and soil samples. The
assessment provides a report describing lead hazards found and control
measures recommended to eliminate the hazards.
This SOW is not to be used, as written, for conducting lead hazard screens, and
conducting risk assessme nts using targeted or worst-case sampling strategies.
For information on modifications necessary for targeted or worst case sampling
strategy, contact the US Army Corps of Engineers Hazardous, Toxic and
Radioactive Waste (HTRW) Center of Expertise. Currently, lead hazard
screens are not to be performed at installations because of unresolved issues
regarding composite dust sampling and composite dust sample analysis.
This SOW is not to be used for projects associated with the transfer of Army
target housing/child-occupied facilities under Base Realignment and Closure
(BRAC) procedures. EP 1110-1-31 "Combined Lead Inspection/Risk
Assessment for Target Housing Property Transfers Standard Scope of Work"
is published for these types of BRAC projects.
DA policy disallows the use of x-ray fluorescence (XRF) in conducting lead
hazard risk assessments in Army target housing and child-occupied facilities.
Therefore this methodology is not included in the SOW, excepted when
conducted as part of a combined lead inspection/risk assessment provided for in
EP 1110-1-31.
This SOW does not include requirements for elevated blood lead level (EBL)
investigations. EBL investigations involve a more thorough investigation of
additional sources of lead hazards to children such as contaminated eating
utensils, food and beverage containers, personal hygiene practices, off-site day
care, community water supply, public playgrounds, lead painted surfaces in
residences and other spaces occupied by children. EBL investigations require
a coordinated effort of the installation's lead hazard management team and
could include state and local public health departments. See Public Works
Technical Bulletin (PWTB) 420-70-2, Installation Lead Hazard Management.
This SOW does not include requirements to assess lead in drinking water. This
issue is addressed under the Safe Drinking Water Act monitoring
requirements.
The editor of this SOW must have successfully completed a US Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) or state (if required by the state where the work is
to be performed) accredited training course required for certification as a risk
assessor (see 40 CFR 745.223) and must have received a course completion
certificate. In addition, the editing risk assessor must have familiarity with
Federal, state and local requirements applicable in the jurisdiction in which the
project is to be completed. If the SOW editor is under contract to the
