Designation:E190810Standard Guide forSample Selection of Debris Waste from a BuildingRenovation or Lead Abatement Project for ToxicityCharacteristic Leaching Procedure(TCLP)Testing forLeachable Lead(Pb)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1908;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide describes a method for selecting samples ofbuilding components coated with paints suspected of contain-ing lead.The samples are collected from the debris wastestream created during demolition,renovation,lead hazardcontrol,or abatement projects.The samples are subsequentlyanalyzed in the laboratory for lead.1.1.1 The debris waste stream is assumed to have more thanone painted component,for example,metal doors,wood doors,and wood window trim.1.2 This guide is intended for use when sampling to test forlead only and does not include sampling considerations forother metals or for organic compounds.This guide also doesnot include consideration of sampling for determination ofother possible hazardous characteristics of the waste.1.3 This guide assumes that the individual component typescomprising the debris waste stream are at least partiallysegregated and that the volume of each type of component inthe debris waste stream may be estimated.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D4840 Guide for Sample Chain-of-Custody ProceduresE105 Practice for Probability Sampling of MaterialsE2239 Practice for Record Keeping and Record Preservationfor Lead Hazard Activities2.2 Federal Documents:340 CFR 261 Appendix II-Method 1311,Toxicity Character-istic Leaching Procedure(TCLP)2.3 OSHA Standard:429 CFR 1926.62 OSHA Lead in Construction Standard3.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 component(of the waste),neach of those differentand distinguishable materials that comprise the waste.3.1.2 sample(of the waste),na collection of the compo-nents of the waste assembled in proportion to their contributionto the total volume of the waste.3.1.3 waste,nmaterial resulting from conduct of ademolition,renovation,or lead abatement project that is or willbe directed for disposal.3.1.4 waste stream,nthe total flow of waste from ademolition,renovation,lead hazard control or abatementproject.NOTE1Regulations promulgated by authorities having jurisdictionmay define terms in 3.1.1-3.1.4 differently than defined above.4.Summary of Practice4.1 The entirety of the debris waste stream created bydemolition,renovation,lead hazard control or abatementprojects in and around buildings and related structures isexamined visually,and estimates made of the total volume ofthe waste and of the relative volume proportions of the variouscomponents of the waste.Asample of the waste is selected andassembled that contains the various waste components in thesame relative volume proportions as these estimates.The1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 on Performanceof Buildings and is the direct responsibility of E06.23 on Lead Hazards Associatedwith BuildingsCurrent edition approved Oct.1,2010.Published November 2010.Originallyapproved in 1997.Last previous addition approved in 2003 as E1908 03.DOI:10.1520/E1908-10.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from U.S.Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents,732 N.Capitol St.,NW,Mail Stop:SDE,Washington,DC 20401,http:/www.access.gpo.gov.4Available from Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA),200Constitution Ave.,NW,Washington,DC 20210,http:/www.osha.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 sample is then submitted to a laboratory for conduct of theToxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure(TCLP)for lead inaccordance with 40 CFR 261.5.Significance and Use5.1 Waste samples collected using this guide provide repre-sentative samples for analysis in a laboratory using the TCLP.5.2 The TCLP is used to simulate the transfer of lead fromburied lead-containing waste into the ground water systemupon codisposal of the lead-containing waste and municipalsolid waste in unlined solid-waste landfills.The TCLPattemptsto simulate rain or ground water leaching,or both.For theprocedure to yield a predictor of the subsurface(in-ground)leaching proces
