Lead-Based Paint: Planning Your Paint Removal Project

Appendix A—Design Path for Project Design—Industrial Lead Paint Management Long Description

Flow chart showing the eleven phases to project design when dealing with lead paint described previously in the Project Planning section of this publication.

Flow chart showing the eleven phases to project design when dealing with lead paint described previously in the Project Planning section of this publication.

The phases in the Flow chart are:

  • Phase 1: Determine the Presence of Lead

  • Phase 2: Conduct Coating Assessment To Determine Painting Strategy

  • Phase 3: Assess Risks to Other Personnel, Public, Environment

  • Phase 4: Establish Site-Specific Limitations on Emissions

  • Phase 5: Select Removal/Containment To Achieve Required Emission Control Level Consistent with Maintenance Strategy

  • Phase 6: Select Environmental Monitoring Strategy

  • Phase 7: Establish Worker Lead Protection Requirements

  • Phase 8: Establish Waste Handling Requirements

  • Phase 9: Establish Project Clearance Criteria

  • Phase 10: Prepare Project Cost Estimate

  • Phase 11: Prepare Project Specifications

Between phases 1 and 2 the text reads: Lead, Present

Under phases 1 and 2 the text reads: No Lead and No Painting with arrows leading to another box with the text: End of Lead Considerations

Between phase 2 and 3 the text reads: Spot Repair, Remove/Replace Demolish

The text between phases 6 and 5 reads: Feasible

The text between phases 2 and 5 reads: Not Feasible

Between phases 11 and 10 the text reads: Acceptable

The text "Unacceptable" is between the phase 10 box and the Return to Phase 2 box.
