The sample (111814PJ-30) was collected from the building prior to renovation. The contents were plaster/drywall, lumber, roofing, wood trim, flooring, cabinetry/misc/wiring, doors/windows, and floor stone/concrete components. The sample was analyzed by ALS Environmental using SW846-1311-/7420 for lead (the Toxicity Characteristic Leacheate Procedure (TCLP)). The sample contained lead at a level above the Hazardous Waste definition for lead of 5 mg/kg (mg/l). A grab sample TCLP contained a lead content that appeared to require that the whole house would have to be disposed of as a hazardous waste. This would be very costly (as much as $10,000 or more). We recommend repeating this test with a more accurate method, facilitated by XRF pre-testing. The cost of a re-test would be approximately $500, but would have at least a 50% chance of allowing the waste to be re-classified as non-hazardous. Laboratory reports with the pertinent results are attached. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need further assistance.
