THE CONTROL OF LEAD HAZARDS 5 CCR 1001-23

Colorado Regulation Number 19 controls lead hazards through three parts: Part A covers lead-based paint activities; Part B covers pre-renovation education in target housing and child-occupied facilities; and Part C contains statements of basis, specific statutory authority and purpose. The regulation also includes Appendix A, a table of the number of units to be tested in pre-1978 multifamily developments (Section V.J.2.b.), based on the number of similar units, similar common areas or exterior sites in a building or development and whether it is pre-1960 or of unknown age, or 1960-1977.

I.A.

Part A sets up accreditation rules for lead-based-paint training programs, certification procedures for individuals and firms doing lead-based-paint activities, and work-practice standards for those activities. It also requires that all lead-based-paint activities (as Part A defines them) be performed by certified individuals and firms, except where the regulation says otherwise.

I.B.

This part applies to all individuals and firms who perform lead-based paint activities (as defined in Section II.B.48.), except owners working in their own homes—unless someone other than the owner or the owner's immediate family lives there during the work, or unless a child in the building has been identified as having an elevated blood lead level. If either of those exceptions applies, the owner must follow the regulation.

I.C.

Part A applies to all lead-based paint activities performed in target housing and child-occupied facilities, and to buildings that will be converted to target housing or child-occupied facilities.

I.D.

Part A applies to projects designed to permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards in target housing and child-occupied facilities. It does not apply to renovation, remodeling, landscaping, or other activities that are intended to repair, restore, or remodel a structure rather than permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards.
