Douglas Lumber is honored to be featured in the latest ProSales magazine. Take a look at the article on our recently renovated showroom.

EPA Delays Enforcement of Lead Rule
(Jun. 18) The Environmental Protection Agency acknowledged the need for additional time for renovation firms and workers to become trained and certified under the new Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule.

The rule took effect April 22, but the EPA announced it was delaying enforcement, acknowledging concerns raised by the NLBMDA, its building industry allies and its supporters in Congress.

The specific delays are:

  • Until Oct. 1, 2010, the EPA will not take enforcement action for violations of the RRP Rule's firm certification requirement.
  • For violations of the RRP Rule's renovation worker certification requirement, the EPA will not enforce against individual renovation workers if the person has applied to enroll in, or has enrolled in, by no later than Sept. 30, 2010, a certified renovator class to train contractors in practices necessary for compliance with the final rules. Renovators must complete the training by Dec. 31, 2010.

Despite the delay in enforcement, the NLBMDA said it continues to have numerous concerns with the RRP Rule, including the removal of the opt-out provision and the lack of reliable test kits. In addition, new proposals from the EPA on clearance testing and an expansion of the rule to commercial construction pose additional challenges for the industry, which has still yet to recover from the recession.

The NLBMDA said it will continue to seek ways to mitigate the impact of the rule on the industry.
