| EPA Rule Requires Lead Safe Remodelling / Renovation
Posted on: 2010-06-07
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued regulations which took effect on April 22, 2010. These new rules require all contractors and renovators who do renovation, repair or painting work on homes built prior to 1978 to be cerified in 'Lead Safe' work practices. Most of the homes in the Amity Gradens community are 32 years old or older and would require the use of these practices. The website link below opens a .pdf file brochure from the EPA with information for home owners about renovation guidelines and where to get more info.
