EPA v. CORE WINDOW SYSTEMS, CORP.

Case summary

March 31, 2926- Consent Agreement On March 5, 2024, pursuant to its authority under Section 11 of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. ? 2610, an EPA inspector conducted an inspection of Respondent?s worksite located at 3229 Roosevelt Street, Hollywood, Florida 33021 (the Property) where Respondent was conducting a ?renovation,? as defined at 40 C.F.R. ? 745.83, for compensation. The Property was constructed before 1978 and is ?target housing? as defined at 40 C.F.R. ? 745.103. During the inspection of the Property, the EPA inspector observed that Respondent had failed to cover the ground with plastic sheeting or other disposable impermeable material extending 10 feet beyond the perimeter of the surfaces undergoing renovation or a sufficient distance to collect falling paint debris, whichever is greater, unless the property line prevents 10 feet of such ground covering, as required by 40 C.F.R. ? 745.85(a)(2)(ii)(C). On March 14, 2024, EPA requested that Respondent provide records to the EPA inspector demonstrating compliance with 40 C.F.R. Part 745, Subpart E. On March 26, 2024, Respondent submitted records to the EPA for review to evaluate its compliance with 40 C.F.R. Part 745, Subpart E. Based on the EPA?s review of Respondent?s records, the EPA determined that Respondent had performed, offered, or claimed to perform a renovation at the Property for compensation, and that at the time Respondent performed, offered, or claimed to perform the renovation at the Property, Respondent had not obtained ?firm certification? as required by 40 C.F.R. ?? 745.81(a)(2)(ii) and 745.89(a)(1). Based on the EPA?s review of Respondent?s records, the EPA determined that Respondent had failed to provide the owner of the Property with an EPA-approved lead hazard information pamphlet no more than 60 days prior to beginning the renovation and to obtain from the owner a written acknowledgement that the owner had received the pamphlet or obtain a certificate of mailing at least seven days prior to the renovation, as required by Section 406 of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. ? 2686 and 40 C.F.R. ? 745.84(a)(1). Based on the EPA?s review of Respondent?s records and the findings during the EPA?s inspection of the Property, the EPA alleges that, in the course of the renovation of the Property, Respondent failed to: a. Cover the ground with plastic sheeting or other disposable impermeable material extending 10 feet beyond the perimeter of surfaces undergoing renovation or a sufficient distance to collect falling paint debris, whichever is greater, unless the property line prevents 10 feet of such ground covering, in violation of 40 C.F.R. ? 745.85(a)(2)(ii)(C). b. Apply to the EPA and obtain firm certification to perform, offer, or claim to perform renovations for compensation, in violation of 40 C.F.R. ?? 745.81(a)(2)(ii) and 745.89(a)(1); and c. Provide the owner of the Property with the EPA-approved lead hazard information pamphlet no more than 60 days prior to beginning the renovation and obtain from the owner a written acknowledgement that the owner had received the pamphlet or obtain a certificate of mailing at least seven days prior to the renovation, in violation of Section 406 of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. ? 2686, and 40 C.F.R. ? 745.84(a)(1). Respondent consents to the payment of a civil penalty, which was calculated in accordance with the Act, in the amount of NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($9,000.00), which is to be paid within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of this CAFO.
