Please 7e:er <br /> to the soil sampling section in Chapter V on methods for identifying a soil lea <br /> hazard. <br /> There are no state or federal regulations regarding methods of soil abate. er.c :- <br /> residential settings. The following recommendations are designed to be erfecciv <br /> and feasible options for homeowners with soil lead contamination. Thesa <br /> recommendations are not appropriate for non-residential sites, which are reguiate� <br /> by state and federal agences. <br /> To be successful, the abatement of lead in soil should be coupled with the reductio- <br /> or elimination of the source of lead. For example, if lead-based paint on the exteric <br /> of a house is a source of lead in soil, the paint should be abated before any soli <br /> remediation is carr:ec out. <br /> S.
