		<description><![CDATA[Liability lurks like an alligator waiting for trespassers to fall into its swamp. Many view the Environmental Protection Agency’s RRP rule as a nuisance, at best, and at worst an opportunity to be sued or fined. Smart contractors have already skirted the first and most obvious liability sinkholes, by becoming individual Certified Renovators and earned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A coordinated campaign involving partners in more than ten major U.S. cities has been operating since September to promote compliance with the EPA’s Remodeling, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule by contractors, landlords, government agencies and others covered by the Rule.  The campaign is being coordinated by the Washington DC-based non-profit group Parents for Nontoxic Alternatives.  To date, the campaign has identified and contacted several hundred companies and agencies that had neither previously sought nor obtained their required firm certifications from EPA, warning them that they could be sued by either EPA or a campaign partner organization if they fail to comply with the law – the first step in a process that could include legal action against recalcitrant firms and agencies.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lead poisoning prevention advocates have argued that enforcement of EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule that relies mainly on enforcement by ten regional EPA offices, each with a small number of enforcement staff responsible for several states, will not be able to do much more than respond to the most serious complaints of violations and will be unlikely to take on proactive enforcement.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Renovation, Repair and Painting Regulation (the RRP Rule), which became effective on April 22, 2010, is intended to protect children and adults during renovation, repair and painting projects in pre-1978 “target housing” and in pre-1978 “child-occupied facilities” when lead-based paint will be affected by the work. The requirements are generally triggered when paint and other surface coatings, which have not previously been tested and found to be lead-free, are disturbed above certain “minor repair and maintenance activities” thresholds. While performing such renovation, repair and painting activities, certain lead-safe work practice standards must be met.]]></description>
