Help <br />13a~9c~o-a~u~~ <br />The removal of lead paint from steel structures has gone largely unregulated i.~ <br />Minnesota, posing a risk to public health and the environment. MPC A staff <br />estimate that 130,000 to 180,000 pounds of lead are removed each year from <br />steel structures in Minnesota. Commonly used for removing corrosion and. <br />deteriorated paint, dry abrasive blasting can release large amounts of lead- <br />containing particulate matter into the air. <br />The regulations,lVlN Rules ch. 7025 = ,require the use of pollution control <br />that combines paint removal methods with different levels of contairunent to <br />prevent environmental contamination and human exposure to lead particles. <br />5teei structures affected by the regulation include: <br />. structures that are permanently fixed in an outside location, <br />mobile or portable steel structures located outside during lead paint <br />removal, and <br />. exterior metal building components. <br />There are about 1,000 steel water tanks, 8,000 steel bridges, and more than <br />10,600 chemical and fuel storage tanks in the state, most of which are coated <br />with lead paint. <br />Provisions of the rules include: <br />http://www.pca.state.mn.us/air/leadpaint.html 5/1 /2009 <br />
