Consolidated Plan REDWOOD CITY 110 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) It is the City’s policy to address LBP hazards through interim control methods, rather than abatement, to the extent practicable. The City will use up to $25,000 per unit in federal funds, with the balance to be provided from other funds. In addition, the City will fund testing to detect the presence of lead-based paint. Although abatement represents the most permanent method of LBP containment, usually by removal of contaminated surfaces, the cost has the potential to render a rehabilitation project financially infeasible, especially when the owner is unable to assume further debt. Full abatement is required when the amount of federal housing assistance exceeds $25,000 per unit. Interim controls (between $5,000 and $25,000 of federal assistance per unit) are an effective method for containing LBP hazards while remaining relatively cost effective. “Interim controls” means a set of measures designed to reduce temporarily human exposure or likely exposure to LBP hazards. Interim controls include, but are not limited to, repairs, painting, temporary containment, specialized cleaning, clearance, ongoing LBP maintenance activities, and the establishment and operation of management and resident education programs. The City has determined that, in general, the ongoing cost associated with interim controls (specifically in terms of ongoing LBP maintenance) far outweighs the cost of abatement. The City uses the following HUD criteria in conducting its lead-based paint assessments. • Exempt – If constructed in 1978 or later, no paint disturbed, zero bedroom or studio units, elderly/disabled resident(s) with no children under 6, unit is lead-based paint free, and/or used no more than 100 days in a year. • Lead Safe Work Practice (24 CFR 35.930(b)) - If hard costs are less than $5,000 • Interim Controls or Standard Practices (24 CFR 35.930(c)) – Hard costs $5,000 to $25,000 • Abatement ((24 CFR 35.930(d)) – Hard costs are greater than $25,000 6.3.F. - Page 122
