"The report focuses on the Environmental Protection Agency's Lead
Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, which was designed to limit exposure

the Obama administration came to power -- the rule required that renovations
to older homes be done by EPA-certified contractors following EPA-dictated
procedures. But the rule contained an opt-out provision: If a homeowner
filed a certificate saying there were no pregnant women or children under
six years of age in the home, the renovations could go forward without the
certification. But that changed under when the Obama administration came to
Washington. Several environmental groups challenged the opt-out provision,
and the Obama EPA chose not to defend it, working with environmentalists in
2009 to fashion a settlement removing the opt-out provision. Now, all
homeowners who renovate are required to go through the costly procedures."

And more.

BULL ****...

That just PROVES you and the idiot that wrote the article which you
quoted never actually read any of the regulations at all, the
certification
applies only to people whom you PAY to do work on your home... If
you don't want to pay for the extra PPE measures then you as a
homeowner can do your own work with as little PPE as you want...
The dust and debris removed from a home containing lead paint is
not treated as hazardous waste -- it can be thrown out in the normal
garbage stream...

For the statement to be true you would have to insert "pay someone
else to do the work to" after the word who...

Facts?

What are you nuts?

This is the newsgroup for all those crusty old guys that once fixed something
to have a few drinks and get on the computer and complain about
random things the government is doing to them.

Facts don't count.

Yup, count me as one of those crusty old guys.

But, I worked in an environmental area and the current EPA is in need of
restraint.

Obama's appointee to head it up is a sycophant, who like Obama has no
real world experience.

Home repair is one business they cannot chase out of the country, but
believe me, they are chasing out others.
