[Use the following paragraph for buildings to be demolished
The Contractor shall define a sampling strategy in the Sampling Plan submitted as part of the
Project Work Plan that emphasizes taking only the very minimum number of samples required to
determine the presence of lead on the building components. Surfaces selected for sampling shall
be prioritized to analyze first those having the highest probability of containing lead based paint.
[Based on year of construction, insert guidance on surfaces to be tested from the above "Note".].
When paint chips are taken of component systems, the Contractor shall rank order the samples
for laboratory analysis with instructions to the laboratory to stop the analyses once a positive
result is obtained demonstrating the need for compliance with 29 CFR 1926.62(d), based on the
action levels listed in Table A-1. If the XRF is used for field-testing, sampling shall be
prioritized by the Contractor to minimize the number of readings taken, typically one XRF
reading per component system. XRF test results shall be interpreted using the Performance
Characteristics Sheet (PCS) for the instrument and ASTM Provisional Standard PS95-98,
"Standard Provisional Practice for Quality Systems for Conducting In-Situ Measurements of
Lead Content in Paint or Other Coatings using Field -Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)
Devices." If no XRF test results are positive for a component system, (above the test threshold
for LBP), inconclusive and negative XRF results shall be supplemented by laboratory paint chip
analysis with paint chips collected directly from the XRF tested substrate that best represents the
quantified in cubic centimeters (cc) of surface area for the compo nent system. The paint chip
shall be a destructive sample collected and submitted to the laboratory following the laboratory's
SOP for collecting paint chip samples to determine lead loading per cc of surface area, and
ASTM's Standard Practice for Field Collection of Dried Paint Samples for Lead Determination
by Atomic Spectrometry Techniques (E 1729).]
[Use the following for buildings to be renovated
The Contractor shall extract paint chip samples from all components that will be affected by the
renovation. The paint chip shall be a destructive sample collected and submitted to the
laboratory following ASTM's Standard Practice for Field Collection of Dried Paint Samples for
Lead Determination by Atomic Spectrometry Techniques (E 1729). All paint chip sa mples shall
be analyzed.]
[Use the following for soil sampling
[Soil samples shall be collected following ASTM Standard Practice for Field Collection of Soil
Samples for Lead Determination by Atomic Spectrometry Techniques (E 1727).] [Soil samples
shall be composites that include no less than two (2) and no more than ten (10) sub-samples
collected from distinct locations roughly equidistant from each other along an axis. Sub -samples
along drip lines shall generally be collected two to six feet from each other. In other sampling
locations such as area sampling, sub -samples shall be collected from approximately equidistant
