b. Paint Chip Sample Locations
******************************************************************************
NOTE: The lead inspector/risk assessor uses an XRF instrument to determine which
painted components contain LBP. Therefore, paint chip samples need only be collected
for those components with deteriorated paint where the XRF cannot operate properly. If
the SOW editor wishes to rely on the results of the lead inspection (XRF data with paint
chip data for surfaces not accessible with XRF instruments or with inconclusive XRF
readings) and wishes to use the data for the risk assessment, choose option 1. If the SOW
editor does not wish to rely on the results of the XRF for the risk assessment, (which is
part of this work), the SOW editor should select option 2. (This will incur additional
expense of laboratory paint chip sample analysis.)
******************************************************************************
[Option 1]
[The lead inspector/risk assessor shall immediately review the results of the lead inspection, and
determine if any identified LBP surfaces contain deteriorated paint and note the extent of the
damage.]
[Option 2]
[One paint chip sample shall be collected from each interior [and exterior] deteriorated paint
component system with a distinct painting history. Only one sample shall be taken for each
such component system for which a common painting history can reasonably be assumed. The
deteriorated areas of the represented paint system shall be given sampling priority for ease of
removal. Samples shall be collected from inconspicuous locations whenever possible and safe.
Sampling locations shall be sele cted based on presence of all intact layers of paint.]
c. Soil Sample Locations
******************************************************************************
NOTE: In some parts of the country, particularly the South and coastal areas, family
housing may have accessible crawl spaces used as play areas by small children. Samples
should be collected from the bare soil in these crawl spaces.
******************************************************************************
The lead inspector/risk assessor sha ll collect at least two composite soil samples representing all
bare soils accessible to children. Only bare soils shall be sampled. Bare soil areas to be
considered include:
