EPA v. ALL PRO HOME IMPROVEMENT LLC

Case summary

On November 12, 2024, EPA filed an Expedited Settlement Agreement and Final Order entered into by EPA and All Pro Home Improvement, LLC (hereinafter, Respondent ). EPA conducted an inspection of Respondent?s business records and gathered evidence that the Respondent had violated the certification, information distribution, and recordkeeping requirements of the RRP Rule. Specifically, EPA's investigation yielded evidence sufficient to establish and allege that, for one renovation, Respondent violated RRP Rule requirements by failing to: (1) obtain from EPA initial firm certification prior to the renovation; (2) ensure that all individuals performing renovations on behalf of the firm are either certified renovators or have been trained by a certified renovator; (3) obtain an acknowledgment of receipt stating that the homeowner received a copy of EPA's Renovate Right pamphlet prior to the renovation; and (4) prepare and maintain records or other documentation indicating that the safe work practices and cleanup standards required by the RRP Rule were followed. EPA promulgated the RRP Rule at 40 C.F.R. Part 745, Subpart E, to ensure that individuals receive training in conducting renovation and repair activities in a safe and proper manner and to minimize lead exposure to the public, occupants of target housing and child-occupied facilities, and the environment. Respondent cooperated fully with EPA and the settlement requires Respondent to pay a $800 civil penalty for the identified violations. The property is located in Environmental Justice (EJ) area. The West Virginia Office of Environmental Health Services was notified and has expressed no objection to the EPA action. There has been no further State involvement in this matter.
