9. Renovation vs. Abatement

10. With RRP nothing will change in training requirements and how Lead Abatement is performed.

11. Abatement vs. Renovation • Lead-Based Paint Abatement is intended ‘permanently’ to remove lead hazards. • RRP is designed to prevent the introduction of new lead hazards created by renovation activities, not to address existing lead hazards.

12. Rule Scope • Renovation is defined as modification of any existing structure that results in the disturbance of painted surfaces, unless performed as part of an abatement or interim control activity. • Applies to renovations of target housing and child occupied facilities performed for compensation. • Child-occupied facilities may be located in public or commercial buildings or in target housing. Includes kindergarten classrooms and daycare facilities.

13. Rule Scope Excludes: • Renovations that affect only components that have been determined to be free of lead-based paint. • Minor repair & maintenance activities that disturb under 6 ft2 interior or 20 ft2 exterior (Note: window replacement, demolition and projects involving prohibited practices do not qualify for the maintenance exemption). • Work done by individuals in housing they own and occupy.

14. Rule Scope Opt-out provision: • Homeowners may opt out of rule requirements if: • they occupy the housing to be renovated, • the housing is not a child-occupied facility, and • no child under age 6 or pregnant woman resides there. • Homeowner may still request lead-safe work practices.

15. Certification of Firms • To be certified to perform renovation or dust sampling firms must submit an application and fee to EPA. • Certifications are good for 5 years. • Certification allows the firm to perform renovations in any non-authorized state or Indian tribal area.

16. Firm Responsibilities • Firms performing renovations must ensure that: • All individuals performing renovation activities for their firm are either certified renovators or have been trained by a certified renovator. • A certified renovator is assigned to each renovation and performs all of the certified renovator responsibilities.

17. Firm Responsibilities • All renovations performed by the firm are performed in accordance with the lead-safe work practice standards. • The firm supplies lead hazard information pamphlets to owners or managers of the home or building to be renovated prior to starting the work. • The RRP rule’s recordkeeping requirements are met.

18. Renovator Training and Certification Requirements • To become a certified renovator, the following persons must take an 8-hour accredited training course: • “renovators”—individuals who perform and direct renovation activities, and • “dust sampling technicians”—individuals who perform dust sampling not in connection with an abatement. • The course completion certificate serves as certification for these individuals. • Refresher training is required every 5 years.

19. Certification of Individuals • Grandfathering • Individuals with certain previous training can take an accredited 4 hour refresher renovator course instead of the 8 hour initial course to become a certified renovator. • Acceptable training for grandfathering: • an accredited abatement worker or supervisor course, or • an EPA, HUD, or EPA/HUD model renovation training course

20. Renovator Responsibilities • Perform project cleaning verification, and perform or direct workers who perform all other required tasks. • Provide training to workers on the work practices they will be using in performing their assigned tasks.

21. Renovator Responsibilities • Regularly direct work being performed by other individuals to ensure that the work practices are being followed, including: • maintaining the integrity of the containment barriers, and • ensuring that dust or debris does not spread beyond the work area.

22. Important Dates • December 22, 2008: • Protect Your Family is no longer to be used to comply with the Pre-renovation Education Rule. • April 22, 2009: • Providers of renovator and/or dust sampling technician training may apply for accreditation. • Individuals may take accredited renovator or dust sampling technician training as soon as it becomes available.

23. Important Dates • October 22, 2009: • Renovation firms may begin applying for certification. • April 22, 2010: • Rule fully implemented. Training providers must be accredited, renovation firms/renovators/dust sampling technicians must be certified, and work practices must be followed.
