o PRIORITIZED CRITERIA, YARD REMOVAL PROCEDURES AND ABATEMENT DEFINITIONS Prioritized Criteria for Yard and House Abatement (highest to lowesth On March 2, 1993 the Lead Levels Advisory Committee recommended the implementation of a long term Lead Poisoning Prevention and Abatement Program in Butte-Silver Bow County. The following criteria was prepared by the Committee and presented to the Butte-Silver Bow Health Board. 1. Homes occupied by one or more children with a blood lead (PbB) equal to or greater than 10 pg/dL {which is considered to be an elevated blood lead (EBL)}. 2. Secondary residence or subsequent homes occupied by children with an EBL. 3. Homes previously occupied by children with an EBL, even if no child is currently living at the address. 4. Homes with very young children (e.g. <1 year) and PbB of 5-9 pg/dL. 5. Homes with no children but with one or more sources (paint, water, soil, house dust) with a lead concentration which exceeds the 95* percentile as determined by the Butte-Silver Bow Environmental Health Lead Study (1990). Particular attention should be given to homes built prior to 1940. 6. Designated playgrounds maintained by Butte-Silver Bow. 7. Informal play areas frequented by children with or without property owners permission. General Yard Abatement Procedures; . Each yard removal was conducted according to the following procedures: Soil Sampling Request form signed by the landowner. Soil sampling ofyards according to approved sampling protocol. Back-fill and top soil sampling. e Yard Specific Removal Plans developed for each removal. Access Agreement signed by landowner, e Yard Specific Removal Plans submitted to EPA for approval. EPA, BSB and ARCO site visit Finalize Yard Specific Removal Plan. BSB and contractor site visit Photographic and/or video record on each yard to document pre- and post-removal condition of property. Yard excavated to a depth of 18 inches and contaminated soil hauled to repository. Yard back-filled as ' follows: Geotextile fabric Clean soil--14 inches (approx.) Topsoil--2-3 inches Sod installed General House Abatement Procedures; Replacement Replace old lead based painted components with new. Enclose Mechanically attached solid surface sealed to prevent dust escape. Encapsulate Application of a liquid material that hardens to the lead painted surface and prevents dust escape. Usually with a thickness of 10 millimeters. BPS 025564 Paint Stabilization Occurs when painted surface is capable of holding new paint. Area is wetted with a spray bottle, scraped, primed and re-painted. General Attic Dust Abatement Procedures: Each attic abatement was conducted according to the following procedures: Sampling Request form signed by the landowner. 0 Dust sampling of attics according to approved sampling protocol. * Dust Specific Removal Plans developed for each removal. Access Agreement signed by landowner. . Dust Specific Removal Plans submitted to EPA for approval, * EPA, BSB and ARCO site visit. Finalize Dust Specific Removal Plan. * BSB and contractor site visit. Photographic and/or video record on each attic to document pre- and post-removal condition of property. Containment is set up at the entrance/exit to each attic, insulation and debris is hand bagged when necessary, remaining debris and contaminated dust is removed with a HEPA equipped vacuum system, all rriaterials removed are double bagged and disposed of at the repository. o \/' u BPS 025565 \.. / BPS 025566 COMMUNICABLE DISEASE CONTROL 16.28.239 16.28.239 LEAD POISONING: ELEVATED BLOOD LEAD LEVELS IN CHILDREN: (1) When an elevated capillary test of a child shows an elevated blood lead level (EBL) greater than or equal to 10 micrograms per deciliter (ug/dl), the Health Care Provider who ordered the capillary test must confirm the results as soon as possible by a venous draw. (2) In the case of an elevated venous level, the Health Care Provider must retest the blood lead level at intervals recommended by the Federal Centers For Disease Control & Prevention, until two consecutive tests taken at least two months apart who a level of less than 10 ug/dl. . (3) The department hereby adopts and incorporates by reference the recommendations for blood lead testing intervals for children with elevated . venous levels published in November 1997 by the Federal Centers For Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and contained in CDC's manual "Screening Young Children For Lead Poisoning: Guidance For State And , Local Public Health Officials'5, which contains guidance for identifying children with dangerous blood lead levels and intervening to protect them. A copy of the manual is available from the Centers For Disease Control, MASO Publications Distribution Facility, 5665 New Peachtree Road (P07), Atlapta, GA 30341. (History: Sec. 50-1-202, MCA: IMP.
