EPA Lead Based Paint Rule Effects Many Homeowners

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a rule related to lead based paint in homes older than 1978. If you remodel your property and effect an area of lead-based paint greater than six square feet, you could be subject to a daily fine by the EPA. The government requires that you hire a certified remodeling company to do that work. However, the EPA does not have any instructors so there are no certified workers.
