EPA's RRP Rule

Environmental Protection Agency
40 CFR Part 745 Lead;

Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program

Here is a link to the actual ruling including the amendments and preamble.

Also to note that we have completed our training on "Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair and Painting"

We have received our individual "Certified Renovator" certificates... and Mitre is waiting on the EPA to send us our "Firm Certification Certificate"

That's what I get for dragging my feet on this... now they are backlogged and will probably take the full 90 days to respond. As soon as Mitre gets the certificate, I will get it posted.

Please call or email us with any questions concerning these new regulations. I have completed the training, and we are fully capable of safely  working on your home using the guidelines and procedures of the training. If your home was built before 1978, before you hire just any company to do renovations or repairs on your home... make sure they have been certified.

Thank You, Roger Beesley

[EPA RRP]

As part of a lawsuit settlement, EPA agreed to propose several revisions to the 2008 Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) rule that established accreditation, training, certification, and recordkeeping requirements as well as work practice standards on persons performing renovations for compensation in most pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities.

[EPA RRP Lead Safe]

You may be potentially affected by this action if you perform renovations of target housing or child-occupied facilities for compensation or dust sampling. ``Target housing'' is defined in section 401 of TSCA as any housing constructed prior to 1978, except housing for the elderly or persons with disabilities (unless any child under age 6 resides or is expected to reside in such housing) or any 0-bedroom dwelling.
