paint or other surface coatings that contain lead in an amount equal to or greater than 0.06% lead dry weight (600 ppm) but does not meet the definition of Lead Based Paint. In the absence of paint chip or surface coating bulk sample results, any surface coating shall be assumed to be above 0.06% lead dry weight (600 ppm) until surface coating samples are collected and analyzed that indicate otherwise. Lead concentration shall be determined by a method that has an accuracy of not less than plus or minus 25% at 0.06% lead dry weight, to a confidence level of 95%.

dust that contains an amount of lead equal to, or greater than, forty micrograms per square foot (40 g/ft2) for interior floor surfaces; two hundred and fifty micrograms per square foot (250 g/ft2) for interior horizontal window surfaces; and eight hundred micrograms per square foot (800 g/ft2) for exterior floor and exterior horizontal window surfaces.
