Summary:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reached a settlement with Bellamy Home Improvement, a Connecticut-based residential contractor, for violating the federal lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule. The company failed to follow lead-safe work practices during renovations, putting children and families at risk. Specifically, the EPA alleges that Bellamy failed to provide lead-hazard information pamphlets, ensure proper training and certification of subcontractors, and retain records necessary to demonstrate compliance with the RRP Rule. As a result, the company agreed to pay a penalty of $34,818 and certify compliance with the federal lead-based paint RRP Rule.
