Deleading vs. Renovation, Repair and Painting Work: What's the Difference? 

Note:  The following information is from the MA Labor and Workforce Development Web site.

Lead Paint LawsWhile deleading activities conducted in residences and child-occupied facilities often involve work methods similar to those typically used in renovation, repair or painting (RRP) activities, such as replacing windows, painting and installing vinyl siding, the two types of activities are distinct from each other in terms of purpose and effect.

 

Deleading work is work conducted to achieve compliance with the Massachusetts Lead Law through the abatement of lead paint hazards.  Carried through to completion, deleading work leads to the issuance of a document called a Letter of Compliance, which indicates that the property has met deleading requirements administered by the Childhood Lead Poisoning Program of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (CLPPP) under the Massachusetts Lead Law and 105 CMR 460.000. In some instances, deleading work takes place after the owner has received an order to bring the property into compliance with the Massachusetts Lead Law.  In other instances, the owner voluntarily decides to delead the property and seek a Letter of Compliance.

Renovation work (RRP work) is work conducted for a fee that disturbs more than threshold amounts of painted surfaces in pre-1978 residences (target housing) and child-occupied facilities (kindergartens, daycares, etc.), where the purpose of the work is other than the abatement of lead paint hazards or the achievement of a Letter of Compliance.  Renovation work is often carried out to repair, upgrade or beautify the property.

MA Labor and Workforce Development (Division of Occupational Safety (DOS) regulates the Contractors performing work and identifies work practices for both De-leading and Renovation. One issue for those not familiar with the MA Lead Law is the Inspectors who perform lead inspections and issue compliance documents are not licensed by the DOS. Another agency the MA Department of Public Health, Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP). Why this is an issue is that letters of complaince can be jeopardized by deciding to renovate which in some respects will also in process de-lead some components or surfaces. Inspectors are taught and must report evidence of possible unauthroized (illegal) de-leading to CLPPP. This could cause a property owner, present or future who undertakes renovation of having property listed as a site of UD where letters of compliance can not be obtained. If a homeowner or contractor not familiar with the process plans to undertake renovation because they have no children residing in the property at present time, be aware of potential future ramifications which could unintentionally be looked at as unauthroized de-leading in the future. Contact a local licensed lead paint inspector for further guidance.

Robert, thanks for your comment. Do you know if use of the MA CLPPP's RRP assessment form prior to a RRP renovation (not a delead) creates the potential for jeopardizing a letter of compliance, should a property owner seek to obtain one for deleading at a future date?
