The Department may, on a case-by-case basis, allow an alternative procedure for abatement of a lead paint hazard, provided that the owner or contractor who uses this procedure shall submit a written description of the alternative procedure to the Department which demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Department that the proposed alternative procedure provides the equivalent control and removal. In all cases in which the Department allows the use of an alternative procedure under §C(1), the owner and resident shall, for a 1-year period after completion of the lead abatement project, permit the Department to enter the area where the abatement occurred in order to inspect the property for the purpose of determining the effectiveness and durability of the allowed alternative procedure. Before conducting such an inspection the Department shall give written notice to the owner and resident of the property.
