Do you have questions regarding the RRP?
We may help you answer questions regarding RRP legislation. The easiest way to get your questions answered is by going to the EPA’s page on the topic.
RRP program, EPA, coronavirus and lead abatement
The easiest way to get to the page is by clicking here, and you will be taken straight to the government page. The EPA has also issued a statement regarding COVID-19 that you may be interested in reading, which you can find here.
The situation means that it has become increasingly difficult to obtain the necessary certification with everything going on.
Suppose you are currently looking to update your certification. Maybe your certification has expired after March 26, 2020. You haven’t been able to take the necessary tests to get recertified. In that case, that is the place that you will want to go to ensure that you stay in compliance.
You may be able to keep continuing your work if you haven’t been able to update your certification. You need to make the necessary effort to comply again once the situation may allow you to.
The EPA requires you to document why you are currently unable to comply with the necessary legislation. Many testing sites are closed with everything going on.
As soon as you can take the third-party exam that is required, the EPA requires you to do so.
If your certification has expired, we encourage you to email where you would take the test. Save those emails from documenting that you have been unable to stay in compliance with the certification requirement.
The EPA is allowing this limited non-compliance with everything that is going on. Still, we strongly believe that they will be strict once again when the limitations of coronavirus are lifted. If you find that your testing sites have reopened, we encourage you to regain compliance as quickly as possible.
We also encourage you to check back with the EPA’s website frequently to make sure you know the latest updates, what is permitted etc.
Maybe you have any questions that you believe would be better answered by the EPA rather than Check4Lead. We encourage you to contact them directly as they will best provide you with the necessary guidance. You can easily find the contact information of their regional offices by visiting this link.
I have a media inquiry – who do I need to talk to?
Are you looking for an official comment for a news article? Please do go ahead and send an email to the same email and mark the title as “Check4Lead media inquiry”.
Our strong belief is that the EPA will start cracking down on contractors that aren’t in compliance when everything calms down a bit. There has been an increasing focus on the dangers of lead paint lately, especially in significant places like New York. It is especially in public housing like those in the Bronx, where exposure to dangerous substances is imminent.
