DHS 163 - ANS CERTIFICATION FOR THE IDENTIFICATION, REMOVAL AND REDUCTION OF
LEAD−BASED PAINT HAZARDS IN THE STATE OF WI
Abatement - ANS Any measure or set of measures
intended to permanently eliminate lead−based paint hazards.
Abatement activities include - ANS 1. Removal of lead−based paint or dust−lead.
2. Enclosure or encapsulation of lead−based paint.
3. Removal of lead−based painted surfaces,
components or fixtures.
4. Removal or covering of lead−contaminated soil.
A project is considered abatement if - ANS It involves target housing or a child-occupied
facility and will result in permanent elimination of the lead hazard

,Abatement must be performed by - ANS A company or person certified by the department
(WI DHS)
Arithmetic Mean - ANS the sum of data values divided by the number of data values
Certificate of lead-free status - ANS A document issued under DHS 163 by a certified LRA,
which reports that a home or premise is free of lead paint on a specified date
Certificate of lead-safe status - ANS A document issued under DHS 163 by an LRA that
documents that no lead-based paint hazards were found on a premise
Child-occupied facility - ANS -A building built before 1978 that may provide day care services
-A school attended by kids 6 or younger
-A building visited by a child least 2 different days within any week, Sunday through Saturday,
provided that each day's visit lasts at least 3 hours and the combined annual visits last at least
60
hours.
Clearance - ANS Occurs after abatement or interim control to ensure that lead-dust levels
are below the clearance levels
Component - ANS A structural element; for example a door, ceiling, railing
Deteriorated paint - ANS Paint that is cracking, flaking, chipping, peeling, chalking or

, Elevated blood lead level requiring local health department intervention - ANS 20 ug/dL in a
venous test
15-19 ug/dL in 2 venous tests 90 days apart
Encapsulant - ANS A barrier between lead-based paint and the environment formed by a
liquid coating or adhesive bonded covering material
Enclosure - ANS Mechanically fastening a durable material to the substrate forming a dust-
tight barrier between lead-paint hazard and the environment
Friction surface - ANS A surface subject to repeated friction during use, such as a door, floor,
or window
HEPA filter - ANS Captures particles 0.3 microns or larger at 99.97% efficiency
Impact surface - ANS A surface subject to repeated force, such as door frames, stair risers,
baseboards
Interim control - ANS Measures designed to temporarily reduce human exposure to lead-
based paint hazards. These include cleaning, repairs, painting, monitoring, temporary
containment
Lead-based paint (liquid paint) - ANS 0.06% lead by weight
Lead-based paint (dry paint) - ANS 0.5% lead by weight
1.0 mg/cm2
Lead- based paint hazard - ANS Any condition that caused exposure to lead from dust and
can cause adverse human health effects
