[MassHistPres] new lead abatement EPA standards

[Aaron Marcavitch]

Nantucket's local building supply company is going to have a training program here.  Call your local builders association to find out if they are going to run the same program.  This, as far as I understand it, applies to ALL contractors - so that price bump should even itself out if the competition all plays by the same rules.  
 
Its an interesting issue and I am waiting to see how the administration pushes back (or not).

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.
