On September 20, 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 Kevin M. Coyne d/b/a Coyne Masonry (Respondent) with respect to Respondent?s renovation of pre-1978 housing (Target Housing) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 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) apply for initial certification to perform renovations on pre-1978 housing; 2) ensure that a certified renovator was assigned to the renovation; 3) obtain written acknowledgement that the owner received the EPA-approved lead hazard information pamphlet; 4) perform certain work practices; and 5) retain records. Under the terms of the CAFO, Respondent will pay a penalty of $200 (reflecting its ability to pay). The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was notified in 2017.
