On March 21, 2012, Region 1 filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) settling an administrative complaint (Complaint) against Colin Wentworth for violations of TSCA, the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act (Act), and the federal regulations regarding the renovation, repair and painting of certain residential housing built before 1978. Region 1 had alleged that Mr. Wentworth violated TSCA, the Act, and the Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule), 40 C.F.R. Part 745, Subpart E, during an October 2010 repainting project at an apartment building that he owns in Rockland, Maine. Under the terms of the CAFO, Mr. Wentworth will pay a penalty of $10,000 (plus interest) based primarily on his ability to pay. This case is one of the first federal RRP enforcement cases in the nation involving the failure to use proper lead-safe work practices.
