Clearance procedures shall be conducted on all abatement projects by an accredited inspector or risk assessor of a certified firm after appropriate cleaning has been completed.
- (1) Independence/Conflict of Interest - Clearance testing shall be performed by accredited persons or entities independent of those performing hazard reduction activities. If accredited in-house employees are used to conduct clearance testing, the in-house accredited employee shall not have played a part in performing that abatement work.
- (2) Clearance Levels and Lead Hazard Levels for Risk Assessment – Clearance levels established in 40 CFR Part 745 must be met. If the residual lead level exceeds the applicable clearance level, the components represented by the failed sample shall be recleaned and retested.
