5. Special Training Requirements and Responsibility: 
The inspectors will need to be USEPA Certified as Lead Inspector and Risk Assessor. The 
City of Syracuse will keep on file copies of the each inspector’s certificate. As a USEPA cer¬ 
tified Lead Inspector or Risk Assessor, one is trained in the basic dust sampling proce¬ 
dures, including chain of custody requirements. In addition, those individuals that will be 
performing the XRF analysis are required by New York State law to be trained by the manu¬ 
facturer in the use of the Niton instrument and on radiation safety. Proof of all training 
required will be kept on file along with the EPA certificates for each individual inspector. In 
addition to these formal training requirements, the Lead Inspectors/Risk Assessors partici¬ 
pating in this project, will be required to read this QAPP and participate in a pre- sampling 
briefing to review these project-specific requirements. 
The contract laboratory for this project will be accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene 
Association, (AHA) and will be New York State Department of Health ELAP approved.

8. Field Sampling Requirements: 
Required materials: Latex gloves, 1ft 2 template, a tape measure, a calculator, masking tape, 
dust wipe media, Niton XRF. 
Sample Collection Procedure: 
The sample collection procedure follows ASTM Method 1728-99 for collection of a surface 
dust wipe. At completion, the dust wipe has been folded three times. For floor samples the 
sample will be taken from inside the 1ft2 template. If the surface to be tested is a window 
sill or well, the inspector will tape off an area of the surface to be tested and measure the 
length and width of this area. This measurement, expressed in square inches, will be divid¬ 
ed by 144 and will be recorded on the sample chain of custody that is sent to the lab. 
The observations of the Lead Risk Assessors will be made in accordance with the training 
they have received as part of their ISAPI certification. 
XRF Testing Procedure: 
1. Fold wipe neatly twice more for a total of five folds and place in a plastic bag. 
2. Place wipe in a sample holder provided by NITON Corporation. The holder will only shut 
tightly if the wipe was folded neatly. 
3. Place sample holder with wipe into filter test stand provided by NITON.
