[Wilson, Linda]

What amazing timing!  I was just sending a NH-focused update to NH
preservation contacts.  I'll forward a copy to the MassHistPres
listserv.

Subject: [MassHistPres] new lead abatement EPA standards

 

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.
