Yes, it's a lower level issue. I'd be concerned about somebody planting a food garden in that area later on - and lead persists in the env. - it is a heavy metal, right. The real question is whether one thinks the current standards of the industry are adequately protective when it is the health of your own children that is involved...
Some will inevitably get trampled into the soil and persist rather than wash off with the rain.
The biggest #1 thing is to not create dust.
After that, bringing lead into the house (esp. if there are carpets) on the bottoms of one's shoes is likely next.
