LBP Concerns in Producing Recycled Concrete Aggregate from Former Fort Ord Family Housing

Abstract

The presence of lead-based paint on concrete from demolition projects raises questions regarding suitable reuse or disposal. The regulatory environment is unclear on issues of reuse. This report attempts to correlate the concentration of lead on a painted building to the concentration of lead in aggregate produced from that building's demolition. This final concentration is the key metric in determining suitable end use. In this case of former Army family housing, the final lead concentration was found to be quite low.
