You are subscribed to Rulemaking Notification for Maine Department of Environmental Protection. This information has recently been updated, and is now available. Chapter 424, Lead Management Regulations The Department is proposing to repeal and replace Chapter 424 Solid Waste Management Rules: Lead Management Regulations. Chapter 424 contains the State’s program requirements for lead remediation and related activities in residential dwelling units and child-occupied facilities. This rulemaking is necessitated by changes to EPA requirements for how lead hazards are cleared. These changes effect contractors who provide services to the housing community, ACAP organizations, and lead grant programs throughout the State of Maine. The Department is also proposing changes to the work practice sections, the soil hazards section and the hazard handling sections of Chapter 424. In addition definitions were better aligned with EPA definitions. No public hearing is scheduled. The rule is being posted for a 30-day written comment period. A public hearing will be held if the Department receives 5 or more requests before the end of the comment period. |
