On May 7, 2025, EPA filed an Expedited Settlement Agreement and Final Order entered into by EPA and Bellweather Construction LLC (hereinafter, ?Respondent?). EPA conducted an inspection of Respondent?s business records and gathered evidence that the Respondent had violated the recordkeeping requirements of the RRP Rule. Specifically, EPA?s investigation yielded evidence sufficient to establish and allege that, for five renovations, Respondent violated RRP Rule requirements by failing to prepare and maintain records or other documentation indicating that the safe work practices and cleanup standards required by the RRP Rule were followed. EPA promulgated the RRP Rule at 40 C.F.R. Part 745, Subpart E, to ensure that individuals receive training in conducting renovation and repair activities in a safe and proper manner and to minimize lead exposure to the public, occupants of target housing and child-occupied facilities, and the environment. Respondent cooperated fully with EPA and the settlement requires Respondent to pay a $1,000 civil penalty for the identified violations. The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry was notified and has expressed no objection to the EPA action. There has been no further State involvement in this matter.
