OK........so I called the fed EPA (really a contractor for the EPA) The National Lead Information Center The National Lead Information Center (NLIC) provides the general public and professionals with information about lead hazards and their prevention. NLIC operates under a contract with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with funding from EPA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. and asked about enforcement. Naturally, the lady I was talking to did not have a clue about who will enforce the law. When I asked her who would enforce the law she said "the EPA." When asked who from within the EPA would enforce the law she said "I assume enforcement will be acted upon through complaints........uh.........I don't know........uh........they haven't told us that." So...........I called my the region 10 office and got a recorded message that said they'd received an overwhelming number of calls regarding the new lead paint law and it could take up to three days to reply. I left a message, and expect a call back eventually.
