OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES <br />A Risk Assessment or Lead Inspection is a good idea for any owner who is concerned about the liability of a home which <br />may contain dangerous lead hazards. Several resources, including private environmental contractors, are available to <br />perform the work of locating lead hazards. For a list of all licensed lead professionals visit the website of the Indiana <br />Public Licensing Agency at: Ill Inalwww.ln.avvn Ma/ <br />Risk Assessments, lead hazard remediation, and clearance testing are required of an owner under several circumstances <br />where a dwelling may have lead hazards, including lead-based paint. Risk Assessments are required if: <br />1. a confirmed lead poisoned child lives in a unit built prior to 1978; <br />2. a health officer has issued an order, under one of several Indiana statutes, to locate the source of lead poisoning; <br />To fully understand the legal requirements homeowners are urged to consult the following rules and regulations: <br />State of Indiana <br />410 1AC 32 Lead -Bused faint Program 410 IAC 29 <br />Rvj)orting, 11 aniforing, and Preventive Procedures, for <br />Lead Poisoning <br />Environmental Protection Agency <br />EPA 40 CFR 745 Subpart D Lead Based Paint <br />Hazards <br />Housing and Urban Development <br />HUD 24 CFR 35 Lead Based Paint Poisoning <br />Prevention in Certain 1?esidential Structures <br />Consumer Product Safety <br />16 CPR 1303 Ban on Lead -Containing Paint and <br />Commission <br />Certain.

Remediate each identified lead hazard using one of the recommended options. <br />2. Remediate leads hazards within the agreed upon time frame or within sixty (60) days if a child with an elevated <br />blood lead level is involved. <br />3. Have the completed work passed by a licensed clearance examiner (or other qualified lead professional). <br />4. Periodically follow up to assure that lead hazards have not recurred. <br />5. Disclose the risk assessment and subsequent clearance to prospective tenants or home buyers. <br />REMEDIATION OPTIONS <br />For each lead hazard, the Risk Assessment Report contains one or more options available to the owner for remediation. <br />An owner may choose among those options only. Interim Controls are options which mitigate the danger of lead <br />poisoning. They are generally temporary and must be closely monitored to assure that the hazard does do not recur. <br />Abatement options are permanent and designed to effectively eliminate the lead hazard. <br />It is recommended that the selected option - interim control or full abatement - be the one which most effectively protects <br />the children in the home from future lead paint exposure. <br />RlskAssessment No.: 84000015462 Address: 628 PARKAVE Page 18 of 23 <br />
