EPA Final Rules to Reduce Lead Exposure: Lead and Copper Rule Improvements, Lead-Based Paint Dust Standards

Environmental attorney Jose Almanzar will be participating in a Strafford webinar, where he will discuss the U.S. Environment Protection Agency's (EPA) recent efforts to safeguard people from lead exposure. The EPA has introduced two new rules aimed at reducing lead risks in homes and water. The first rule mandates lead service lines to be replaced within the next 10 years, while the second rule establishes more stringent guidelines for lead paint dust in homes and early childhood centers. Mr. Almanzar will delve into the implications of and challenges posed by these new regulations and will also analyze the anticipated response from the incoming presidential administration.
