EPA Lead Supervisor Exam Study
Guide
Abatement Plan - ANS-A written work plan detailing methods, containment, cleanup verification
approaches, and waste disposal protocols.
Action Level - ANS-OSHA Action Level is 30 µg/m³.
Analytical Methods - ANS-Lead Sampling Methods include NIOSH Method 7082 (air) and
Method 7420 (solids).
Audience - ANS-Individuals in search of certification to oversee lead‑primarily based paint
abatement projects under EPA and OSHA regulations.
Background soil stages - ANS-Typically <a hundred-two hundred ppm relying on location; used
to outline cleanup desires.
Clean Air Act (CAA) Lead Standards - ANS-Establishes National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) for lead emissions below Title I. Key dates and standards encompass Initial NAAQS
for Lead followed October 15, 1978, at 1.Five µg/m³ (overall suspended particulates, quarterly
average) and Revised NAAQS for Lead bolstered October 15, 2008, to zero.15 µg/m³ (zero.10
µg/m³ rolling three-month common) to defend public fitness, specially children and at-hazard
populations. Regulates foremost resources of lead emissions, together with smelters, battery
flora, and aviation fuel.
Duration - ANS-2 hours general; time control is vital to finish all sections.
Dust Clearance - Floors - ANS-forty µg/ft² (EPA RRP Rule) and 10 µg/ft² (HUD Standards).
Dust Clearance - Window Sills - ANS-250 µg/ft² (EPA RRP Rule) and a hundred µg/ft² (HUD
Standards).
Dust Clearance - Window Troughs - ANS-four hundred µg/ft² (EPA RRP Rule) and 400 µg/ft²
(HUD Standards).
Dust wipe sampling - ANS-Collected after cleanup the use of standardized wipe kits; use ASTM
E1792 for discipline collection strategies.
EPA danger soil criteria for lead in play areas - ANS-≥400 ppm (0.4 mg/kg) of lead in naked soil.
