Immediately following the completion of renovation activities, a company conducts an examination which reveals dust levels above the action level. Is removal of dust to address the failure of this examination considered abatement?

No. The removal of dust to address the failure of the examination would be considered part of cleanup from the renovation. Routine cleanup of renovation-related dust is not abatement, even if the dust is known to be above the dust lead reportable level.
