NOTE TO SCOPE OF WORK EDITOR
This Standard Scope of Work (SOW) is to be used for performing combined lead inspection/risk
assessments at Department of Army (DA) properties known as target housing and child occupied
facilities (see Glossary) that are being prepared for sale based on Section 1013 of Title X (42
U.S.C. 4822) implemented by 24 CFR 35, 15 September 1999 (64 FR 50142).
This SOW requires that the lead inspection/risk assessment be performed at one time, thereby
minimizing cost and disruption to housing occupants.
The lead inspection provides a report describing the location(s) of lead-based paint (LBP) and
the risk assessment provides a report describing lead hazards found and control measures
recommended eliminating the hazards.
This SOW is not to be used to mitigate lead hazards discovered during the lead inspection/risk
assessment. Lead hazard abatement is contractually addressed under separate contract using U.
S. Army Corps of Engineers Guide Specification 13281 "Lead Hazard Control Activities".
This SOW does not include requirements for conducting elevated blood lead (EBL)
investigations addressed in Reference 1.1.1.3.c of this SOW. EBL investigations are of concern
at active target housing or child-occupied facilities and involve comprehensive analyses of all
lead exposure sources to the child or children with EBL, both inside and outside the home, and
can involve input and cooperatio n between a number of regulatory agencies.
This SOW does not include requirements to assess lead in drinking water. This issue is
adequately covered under the Safe Drinking Water Act monitoring requirements, should it
become an issue at the time of sale or transfer of property.
The editor of this SOW should note the following conventions used throughout this Standardized
SOW: 1) [brackets] indicate that the SOW editor must either select from the text within the
brackets or provide project specific infor mation for insertion into the text, and 2) when the
complete text of a given paragraph is within [brackets] and the bracketed text is deleted the SOW
editor must also delete the paragraph heading and renumber accordingly.
The editor of this SOW must have a certificate of completion of current U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) training or state training (if required by the state where the work is
to be performed) as a certified lead inspector/risk assessor (see 40 CFR 745.223). In addition,
the SOW editor must be familiar with Federal, state and local requirements applicable in the
jurisdiction in which the project is to be completed. Contact state and local authorities to
determine whether established requirements and procedures are more restrictive than those
outlined in this SOW. State contacts for the Centers for Disease Control Childhood Lead
Poisoning Prevention Program may be found on the Internet at
