Case summary

On March 4, 2014, Region 1 filed a CAFO settling claims for civil penalties against Woodstock Resort Corporation for alleged violations of Section 409 of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. § 2689, the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (the Act), 42 U.S.C. § 4851 et seq., and the federal regulations promulgated thereunder, entitled “Disclosure of Known Lead-Based Paint and/or Lead-Based Paint Hazards Upon Sale or Lease of Residential Property,” as set forth at 40 C.F.R. Part 745, Subpart F (the Disclosure Rule) at its Woodstock, Vermont rental properties. The settlement calls for the payment of a $6,341 penalty and the performance of a lead-based paint renovation Supplemental Environmental Project worth at least $7,359. The proposed SEP will involve the renovation of windows and doors at additional target housing owned by Respondent, including the removal of lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards from target housing, followed by clearance testing. Respondent’s future tenants will have reduced chances of exposure to lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards.
