EPA Makes Changes Renovate Right Pamphlet
Recently the EPA made some changes to the "Renovate Right" pamphlet and rules for contractors in dealing with homes pre-1978.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is advising home owners to test their homes for lead paint dust after getting any remodeling or renovation work done – and now requiring remodelers to inform home owners of that option through its newly revised Renovate Right pamphlet. After pressure from Congress and an NAHB-led coalition forced EPA to back away from clearance testing in its recent amendment to the Lead: Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, this revision appears to be EPA’s way to encourage consumers to choose it anyway, rather than stopping at the cleaning verification that professional remodelers are already required to perform, noted NAHB Environmental Policy Analyst Matt Watkins. The RRP rule requires that remodelers, window installers and other contractors distribute the Renovate Right brochure to property owners and tenants living in homes built before 1978 prior to beginning any remodeling work.
