The EPA has issued a new version of the "Renovate Right" pamphlet that must be distributed by those performing and being compensated for work which falls under the new RRP lead safety rules. This pamphlet reflects changes in the rule which are effective in July including the removal of the "homeowner opt-out" provision. You can download the new pamphlet by clicking here.

Although Senator Inhofe has succeeded in achieving a much needed delay of enforcement of the EPA lead paint rule, proposed is an even more onerous addition to the Renovator Rule. If enacted, the latest EPA revision will require laboratory dust clearance for even many small jobs, at a cost of hundreds of dollars per job. The testing could often cost more than the job itself.
The proposal also makes it illegal to use most of the HEPA vacs recently purchased for this purpose
A more complete analysis of the revision is posted at http://www.renovatorrules.com The EPA comment period ends July 6th. If you have concerns let the EPA, your US Senator and Congressmen know how you feel.
