RRP Clearance Testing: Corrections

RRP Clearance Testing: Corrections and Additions to New Letter June 1, 2011

An expert source was kind enough to point out some corrections to our original news letter titled RRP Clearance Testing: Proposed Changes to the RRP Rule. The purpose for writing this piece was to make you aware of possible changes that will require clearance and clearance testing requirements for EPA’s Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program. Corrections and additional information are as  follows:

1. The Settlement Agreement does not mention a requirement that clearance testing be done by a third party; however, the risk of it going that way is possible.
2. In addition, Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40: Protection of Environment Part 745 already has provisions to substitute dust clearance sampling in lieu of cleaning verification and it does not require third party technician.

Conclusion:

Please note that a dust sampling technician certification is an 8 hour class available from the same trainer that did your certified renovator training. If there are addition changes to the RRP Rule, let’s hope the renovator can do the dust sampling.

As always, I get by with a little help from my friends-many thanks for their comments.
