What information regarding the lead abatement or non-abatement activity should be included in the clearance examination report?

• A. A Detailed Written Description of All Lead Abatement, Interim Controls, and Paint Stabilization Locations Where the Activity Was Performed
• B. Start and Completion Dates of the Activity
• C. Name, Address, and Telephone Number of the Designated Lead Abatement Contractor or Lead Abatement Project Designer, or Persons Performing Non-Abatement Activity
• D. Suggested Monitoring Schedule of Encapsulants, Enclosures, and Non-Abatement Lead Activities to Maintain Sufficient Control of Lead Hazards

Answer: (A)

Documenting where and what activities were performed is essential for the clearance report. A detailed written description of all lead abatement, interim controls, and paint stabilization locations ties the post-work testing to the exact areas and actions taken. This linkage is what allows the clearance results to be interpreted accurately—you can verify that the areas tested correspond to the work described, confirm that each location received the intended treatment, and determine if any follow-up is needed.

Other items, like start and completion dates, contractor contact information, or a suggested monitoring schedule, support project records and future planning but do not by themselves provide the precise linkage between work performed and the clearance outcomes.
