Subject: a further wrinkle on the lead in soil debate
 
If the lead you are concerned about is the result of lead-based paint, you
may be interested in a new "guidebook" being developed jointly by EPA
and DOD. A draft is expected by April 15.

The guide will address sampling and abatement of soils in residential
areas in accordance with HUD Title X regulations and EPA's lead hazard
levels established in TSCA rules.

Compliance with the guidelines will ensure that EPA will sign off on the
abatement action. DOD and EPA will agree to disagree on whether these
soils are subject to CERCLA, but that disagreement will not hold up
transfers or leases of property.
