EPA v. THE HOME DOCTOR EXTERIOR LLC

Case summary

On November 7, 2024, EPA filed an Expedited Settlement Agreement and Final Order entered into by EPA and The Home Doctor Exterior, LLC (hereinafter, Respondent ). EPA conducted an inspection of Respondent's business records and gathered evidence that the Respondent had violated the certification requirements of the RRP Rule. Specifically, EPA's investigation yielded evidence sufficient to establish and allege that, for six renovations, Respondent violated RRP Rule requirements by failing to obtain from EPA initial firm certification prior to the renovations. 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 $1,000 civil penalty for the identified violations. The property is not located in Environmental Justice (EJ) area. The Virginia Department of Labor and Industry was notified and has expressed no objection to the EPA action. There has been no further State involvement in this matter.
