Mission
The Lead-Based Paint Management Program protects
human health, safety and the environment from the
adverse effects of lead-based paint hazards through
implementation of a District-wide strategy to build the infrastructure necessary to reduce the hazards of lead-based paint poisoning. Programs serve to
reduce the population exposure to lead hazards, conduct property inspections, implement comprehensive educational outreach, training and prevention activities, and provide for certification, permitting and accreditation. The program serves to mobilize public and private resources, involving cooperation among all levels of government and the private sector,
developing cost-effective methods for identifying and controlling lead-based paint hazards. The following activites help the program achieve its goals:
Certification and Accreditation of lead-based paint professionals
Permitting of lead-based paint abatement projects and activities
Inspection and compliance monitoring of lead-based paint activities
Strong enforcement of District and federal lead regulations
