Lead Safety
Did you know that many homes built before 1978 have lead-based paint? Lead from paint, chips, and dust can be dangerous if not managed properly. The USC’s Lead Safety website provides information to homeowners and contractors about handling lead safely during projects. The Upper Sioux Community is one of four federally recognized tribes that have received TAS approval for the purpose of administering a lead abatement program. The Upper Sioux Community is happy to provide information for both homeowners and contractors required to identify and control lead paint hazards. The Upper Sioux Community's Office of the Environment and Housing Department can offer helpful advice on renovations in older housing, lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments, and where to go for help.
