Summary

On July 23, 2024, a Final Order was issued to resolve TSCA Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP) violations with The VareCo PM, LLC in Denver, Colorado. The VareCo agreed to a $125,000 penalty for violations identified as the result of an investigation of a tip and complaint received in March of 2022. The investigation included an inspection, Information Request Letter, and subsequent Subpoena. The VareCo performed renovations at six multi-unit rental housing properties in and around Denver, Colorado, all built prior to 1978 and subject to the RRP Rule. The VareCo failed to obtain initial firm certification from the EPA prior to performing renovations on target housing, failed to assign a certified renovator to each renovation, failed to retain all documentation necessary to demonstrate compliance with lead-safe work practices for renovations, and failed to obtain written acknowledgement of receipt of the Renovate Right pamphlet prior to renovations.
