The EPA has eliminated the so-called opt-out provision of RRP. The press release goes on to explain how lead dangers are not limited to children and that anyone can be affected by lead. For more information on the EPAs newst press release contact Dale Kemery at kemery.dale@epa.gov or 202-564-7839.

RRP 6/18/2010 Changes Nothing for Contractors.
The EPA released a statement clarifying changes made on 6/28 to RRP. “The effect of the June 18 memorandum only provides firms more time to apply for and obtain certification as a lead-based paint renovation firm before active enforcement of the firm certification requirements begins. EPA is also providing individual workers additional time to enroll in and take the required training course to become certified lead-based paint renovators before active enforcement of the individual renovator training requirements begins.”
“The effect of the June 18 memorandum only provides firms more time to apply for and obtain certification” |
The press release goes on to say that they will not take action for firm violations of the RRP rule’s firm certification requirement until October 1, 2010. This is also true for the Individual Renovators until December 31, 2010. The Individual Renovator must be enrolled no later then September 30, 2010.
One thing I took away from this EPA clarification was that firms that are not certified by October 1, 2010 will be fined.
