The alleged violations included failing to provide both the owner and adult occupants with a EPA-approved lead hazard pamphlet, failing to post warning signs, and failing to retain records demonstrating compliance with lead safe work practices. Per the terms of the CAFO, Respondent will pay a civil penalty in the amount of $67,180.
