On April 15, 2020, the Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) issued an order declining to review on its own initiative, pursuant 40 C.F.R. 22.27(c)(4) and 22.30(b), the initial decision and default order (Decision) issued by the Regional Judicial and Presiding Officer (RJO) on March 3, 2020, against Bottos Construction, Inc. of Broomall, PA (Respondent). The EAB is the final agency decision maker on administrative appeals under all major environmental statutes administered by EPA and hears permit and civil penalty appeals and petitions for cost reimbursement under CERCLA. Apparently, the EAB found no issues in the RJO's 21-page Decision warranting its review. Accordingly, and because Respondent did not appeal, the Decision became a final order on April 17, 2020, requiring that Respondent pay the assessed civil penalty of $9,573 for its violations of TSCA and the RRP Rule. The RRP Rule 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. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was notified of this matter prior to filing of the administrative complaint in March 2019.
