Important Lead Test Results

Lead Testing has been completed.  We only had 4 homes come back positive of the ones we tested:  1, 11, 15, and 29.  The prepping of these houses will happen prior to Rebuilding Day. 

1. If your home was NOT tested but is pre 1978, then you CANNOT disturb any paint when prepping.  No powerwashing allowed--only the use of a water hose as long as paint is not flaking.  No scraping or sanding.  Some of your homes may have small areas (less than 20 square feet) that are peeling; in that case you can scrape those areas lightly but only take care of those minimal areas that are already peeling.
2. If your home was tested, is pre 1978 and came back negative, you may prep in whatever way is necessary.
3. If your home is 1978 or later, then you may prep in whatever way is necessary. 

Thanks for helping us follow the EPA Lead Safe guidelines.
