Beginning Thursday, April 22, Earth Day, contractors working on homes built
before 1978 must prove that they are following the Environmental Protection
Agency's new rules regarding containment and cleanup of lead paint - or face
fines of up to $37,500 a day.The new regulation requires painters and renovation contractors to be
trained and certified in EPA-approved lead-paint management methods.The EPA estimates that the new procedures will add $8 to $167 to the average
interior remodeling project. Contractors say the cost will be much more.Source: Washington Post, Deborah k. Dietsch (04/17/2010)
