The EPA Lead Paint Certification Law is now in effect. If you are a contractor of any trade that does renovation work where children are present and you discturb 6 square ft. or more of painted surface you must be certified.
The penalties for non compliance are up to $32,500 per violation per day. Law firms have already begun lining up to file law suits against non compliant contractors on behalf of homeowners that have renovation work done.
The EPA also has an enforcement program in place. The EPA's Enforcement Program is aimed at protecting the public by targeting persons or entities who niether comply nor cooperate to address their legal obligations.
For more information Contractors can also contact the EPA at 1-800-424-LEAD or visit www.epa.gov/lead
