On July 25, 2018, EPA, Region III, filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order simultaneously commencing and settling an administrative action alleging certain violations of the Renovate, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule by J.H. Two, L.C., trading as Jerry Harris Remodeling (Respondent) with respect to Respondent?s three renovations of pre-1978 housing (Target Housing) in Norfolk and Virginia Beach, Virginia. The RRP Rule, implemented directly by EPA, promotes public health (of children in particular) by requiring certification of Target Housing renovators, education of occupants and owners about lead-based paint risks, and use of lead-safe renovation work practices. Respondent allegedly failed to: 1) stop renovations when it did not obtain firm recertification; 2) ensure that a certified renovator was assigned to each of three renovations; 3) obtain written acknowledgement that two home owners received the EPA-approved lead hazard information pamphlet; and 4) retain records. Under the terms of the CAFO, Respondent will pay a penalty of $12,000. The Commonwealth of Virginia was notified in 2018.
