Lead Services

Lead Services

Materials Testing & Inspection has several methods to help determine if you have Lead-Based Paint (LBP) or other lead concerns in your buildings. We can also assist you in achieving compliance with the new EPA and HUD Title X regulations for "Target Housing" that went into effect September 15, 2000.

MTI offers the following options to meet the regulatory requirements:

• Risk Assessment attempts to identify the hazards associated with Lead in paint, soil, and water by determining the condition and exposure potential from these materials. A Risk Assessment may result in a need to conduct a LBP Survey. The Risk Assessment takes considerable time and is more costly than a screen.

• Lead-Based Paint Survey involves multiple samples of paints on all surfaces throughout your building. A Survey requires more time and sampling can be expensive. The Survey and the Assessment are required for buildings constructed before 1978.

The HUD deadline for compliance is November 15, 2000. Extensions will be granted up to March 15, 2001 for facilities with Lead concerns and do not have a survey, call MTI to schedule the Lead services those entities who file a "Statement of Incapacity" explaining why they are unable to comply by the deadline.
