EPA v. TWO DUDES PAINTING COMPANY

Case summary

On July 2, 2019, EPA, Region III, filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order simultaneously commencing and settling an administrative action alleging certain violations of the Renovate, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule by Two Dudes Painting Company (Respondent) with respect to Respondent?s renovations of pre-1978 housing (Target Housing) in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The RRP Rule, implemented directly by EPA, promotes public health (of children in particular) by requiring certification of Target Housing renovators, education of occupants and owners about lead-based paint risks, and use of lead-safe renovation work practices. Respondent allegedly failed to: 1) obtain written acknowledgement that home owners received the EPA-approved lead hazard information pamphlet; 2) post warning signs; and 3) retain records. Under the terms of the CAFO, Respondent will pay a penalty of $4035 (reflecting Respondent's ability to pay). The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was notified in 2018.
