Finally, many housing programs, including the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8), have more stringent requirements which owners must be aware of in terms of abatement and lead safe work practices. DISCLOSURE The federal Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, 42 U.S.C. 48524, requires owners, upon sale or rental of most residential housing built before 1978, to disclose all available records and reports concerning lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards, including the test results contained in this notice, to purchasers and tenants at the time of sale or lease or upon lease renewal. This disclosure must occur even if hazard reduction or abatement has been completed. Failure to disclose these test results is a violation of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations at 24 CFR Part 35 and 40 CFR Part 745 and can result in a fine of up to $11,000 per violation.

Anyone who works on a property built before 1978, before doing any work that will disturb the paint, must give the homeowner or tenant a pamphlet called; RENOVATE Right. The rule also requires a written acknowledgement that the homeowner or tenant receives the pamphlet WHO COMPLETES THE WORK? If the chosen remediation option constitutes an interim control of the hazard, the homeowner may choose to complete the work or contract it out. In either case, anyone undertaking lead remediation work is required to follow the lead safe work practices. For the abatement option, a licensed abatement contractor is required, In that instance, Indiana mandates that persons conducting abatement activities notify the State Lead -Based Paint Program, which effective October 1, 2007 is administered by the Indiana State Department of Health. Abatement measures must be conducted by lead professionals licensed to conduct such activities and conducted under an approved abatement plan. See 410 -IAC 32-4-6 Lead abatement notification procedures, for details on the abatement requirements. Failure to comply with regulations can result in civil penalties of $25,000 per day per violation and criminal penalties or a Class D Felony and a minimum fine of $5,000 per day per violation. LEAD SAFE WORK PRACTICES All work on a property to remediate lead paint hazards must be carried out using lead safe work practices. These practices are designed to prevent further lead hazards resulting from the work itself. These are some of the techniques that are recommended to prevent further contamination from lead. Preparation of the Work Area ♦ Put up 6 mil plastic on the doors into the work areas as a temporary containment while work is performed. ♦ Place 6 mil plastic on the floor in all work areas to contain dust and debris. ♦ Cover belongings in the work area with 6 mil plastic and seal with tape to the floor. ♦ Seal off ductwork (registers) in work area while doing work. ♦ Consider getting help with workers that possess EPA/HUD safe work practice training certification or licensing if the amount of deteriorated paint is significant.
