The client draft summary report details the lead-containing paint (LCP) surveys conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) at various locations within the Upper Connecticut River Basin, focusing on the North Hartland Lake Project Office and associated gate houses. The report presents a comprehensive inventory of materials containing lead, including exterior and interior components, along with their respective conditions, colors, and lead concentration results measured in mg/cm². Several photographs illustrate the existing conditions of structures, identifying issues such as damaged materials, broken welds, and the need for junction box removals.
Key findings from the LCP survey indicate variations in lead levels across different materials, which will necessitate careful planning for remediation and compliance with environmental safety standards. The documentation underscores the importance of addressing these findings to ensure the safety and integrity of the buildings involved in future construction activities. This report serves as a critical reference to inform project planning and execution while adhering to applicable regulations and best practices for lead hazard management.
