DHS 163.14(5)(c)1.
1. `Visual inspection of work.' Perform a visual inspection to determine if work specified in any contract, work plans, orders or other specifications has been completed and if any visible amounts of dust, debris or residue are present. If work has not been completed or if visible amounts of dust, debris or residue are present, the person who performed the activity being cleared shall eliminate these conditions prior to the continuation of the clearance procedures.
DHS 163.14(5)(c)2.
2. `Timing of sampling.' Following a successful visual inspection and a minimum of one hour after completion of final cleanup activities, conduct clearance sampling for dust-lead by collecting single-surface dust samples using documented methodologies that incorporate adequate quality control procedures.
DHS 163.14(5)(c)3.a.a. In at least 4 rooms, hallways, stairwells or other living areas within the containment area, collect one dust sample from one interior windowsill or one window trough, if available, and one dust sample from the floor. If there are fewer than 4 rooms, hallways, stairwells or other living areas within the containment area, collect samples from one interior windowsill or one window trough, if available, and one dust sample from the floors of all rooms, hallways, stairwells or other living areas within containment.
DHS 163.14(5)(c)3.b.
b. Collect one dust sample from the floor of a common area within containment for every 2,000 square feet of floor, and one dust sample from the floor of a common area outside containment. The dust sample taken outside containment shall be collected within 10 feet of the containment doorway.
DHS 163.14(5)(c)4.a.a. In at least 4 rooms, hallways, stairwells or other living areas in or near the work area, collect one dust sample from one interior windowsill or one window trough, if available, and one dust sample from the floor. If there are fewer than 4 rooms, hallways, stairwells or other living areas within the residential dwelling or child-occupied facility, collect samples from one interior windowsill or one window trough, if available, and one dust sample from the floors of all rooms, hallways, stairwells or other living areas.
DHS 163.14(5)(c)4.b.

a. The persons who perform the activities, including cleanup, do not know which dwelling units will be selected for the random sample.
DHS 163.14(5)(c)5.b.
b. A sufficient number of dwelling units are selected for dust sampling to provide a 95% level of confidence that at least 95% of all dwelling units would pass clearance if all dwelling units were sampled. In a housing complex with more than 1,000 dwelling units, no sampled dwelling unit may fail clearance and a sufficient number of dwelling units shall be selected for dust sampling to provide a 95% level of confidence that no more than 5% of all dwelling units or 50 dwelling units, whichever is smaller, would fail clearance if all dwelling units were sampled.

If paint chips, dust, debris, or residue are present, the person who conducted the activity being cleared shall properly clean, disposing of any waste according to applicable federal, state and local government requirements.
DHS 163.14(5)(c)7.
7. `Laboratory analysis.' Have collected samples analyzed by a recognized laboratory to determine the detectable levels of lead that can be quantified numerically.
DHS 163.14(5)(c)8.
8. `Interpretation of laboratory results.' Compare the residual lead level from each dust sample, as determined by laboratory analysis, with the applicable clearance level for lead in dust on floors, interior windowsills and window troughs. If the residual lead level in a dust sample equals or exceeds the applicable clearance level, all of the components represented by the failed sample shall be recleaned or sealed by the person who conducted the activity being cleared and retested by the person conducting clearance until clearance levels are met. For dust wipe samples taken during clearance, clearance is achieved when the laboratory result for a sample is less than the following:

b. One hundred micrograms per square foot (100
µg/ft
2) on an interior windowsill.
