[MassHistPres] new lead abatement EPA standards

[Lipsey, Ellen]

Can anyone offer insight into the new EPA standards for contractors who disturb lead paint on pre-1978 buildings -- specifically as to how the new EPA requirements may affect the status quo in MA? The new requirements involve the certification of contractors (based on taking a 2-hour training course), treatment restrictions (that may already be good preservation practice and required environmental practice in MA), and recordation requirements.  This query is not intended to send out any alarms, none may be warranted in terms of the changes.  In addition, this is a done deal as many of you may know. The new EPA requirements for contractors have undergone review and comments, and they take effect April 22nd.
