An identical companion billhas been introduced in theHouse of Representatives byRep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.).


The EPA’s Renovation,Repair and Painting Rule(RRP) is Enforced as of

October 1, 2010 As of October 1, 2010, the

EPA’s Renovation, Repairand Painting Rule (RRP) ad-dressing the presence and re-moval of lead-based paint intarget housing and child-oc-cupied facilities reached itsdate of enforcement. TheEPA regulation requires theuse of a Certified Renovator(CR) and the incorporation oflead safe work practices inmost pre-1978 residencesand child-occupied propertiesbeginning on or after April 22,2010 and with an enforcementdate of October 1, 2010.

The federal standard de-fines lead-based paint as anypaint or surface coatings thatcontain lead equal to or inexcess of 1.0 milligram per

square centimeter or morethan 0.5 percent by weight.Lead, which is a bluish-greymetal found in the earth’scrust in small amounts, wasadded to paint for color anddurability. Lead-based paintwas banned in 1978.

The health risks can besevere and irreversible, andit requires only a smallamount to be consideredhazardous. Eighty-six per-cent of all homes built be-fore 1940 contain lead-based paint, and sixty-sixpercent of homes con-structed between 1940 and1959 contain lead-basedpaint. The presence of thispaint becomes an issuewhen renovation activities

disturb it causing dust anddebris that can be swallowedor inhaled. 24 million U.S.homes have significant lead-based paint hazards, while38 mill ion have someamount of lead-based paint.

2010 NKBA PresidentMark L. Karas, CMKBD, CRstresses the importance ofcompliance with the regula-tion and became a CertifiedRenovator as of March,2010. "I recommend that allremodeling contractorsmake time for the 8-hourEPA course and become aCertified Renovator (CR).We must ensure that as pro-fessionals, we are fully edu-cated on how to comply andprotect our clients. Consci-entious remodelers mayhave already been takingmost of the necessary pre-cautions, but it's importantwe always keep the health,safety and welfare of our cli-ents and employees at theforefront."

Firms and contractors

performing work in targethousing or child-occupiedfacilities must be certifiedand implement lead-safework practices during reno-vation, adhering to the fol-lowing requirements:

Firm must be certifiedRenovators must be cer-

tified through trainingNon-certified workers

must work under and betrained by a Certified Reno-vator

Training providers mustbe accredited

Lead-safe work practicesincorporated during renova-tions

Pre-renovation educationin target housing and child-occupied facilities

Lead abatement profes-sionals must follow workpractice standards, whichinclude posting signs defin-ing the work area and con-taining the work area to pre-vent visible dust or debrisfrom leaving the area. Thisis accomplished by an out-

lined series of interior andexterior containment proce-dures.

The EPA estimated that236,000 individuals requiredthe 8-hour certif icationclass, prior to the rule goinginto effect, and that 47,000per year will require trainingthereafter. General renova-tors, window replacementcontractors, and paintingcontractors represent thelargest group of profession-als impacted.

Fire Prevention Weekwas started in commemora-tion of the Great ChicagoFire of 1871, which startedSunday, October 8 andburned to early Tuesday,October 10, killing more than250 people and destroyingnearly 4 square miles of thecity. The cause of the firehas never been definitivelydetermined, though manytheories persist. The initialaccount put the blame on acow that was thought to have

kicked over a lantern in abarn where the fire origi-nated but that story was laterdebunked as nothing morethan good print fodder whenthe reporter who first ran thestory admitted to fabricatingit. Other theories haveranged from placing theblame on one or more va-grants who may havestarted the fire while tryingto steal milk from the barnto an individual reportedlyadmitting in his will to start-ing the fire after a crapsgame. Still other theoriessuggest that the fire wasactually started by a meteorshower, citing evidence fromeyewitnesses as well as tak-ing into account four othermajor fires that started onthe same day near theshores of Lake Michigan.

Regardless of the origin,the spread of the fire wasaided by several factors in-cluding the overuse of woodbuilding prod-ucts in the city,a drought that preceded thefire, strong winds that addedfuel to and helped carry thefire across the city, and sev-eral catastrophic mistakesmade by those fighting thefire, starting with a slow re-sponse to the blaze.

All in all the fire claimed17,500 buildings at a cost of$222 million while leavingnearly a third of the city•fs300,000 resi-dents home-less.

While the Great ChicagoFire has gone down as themost famous fire in thenation•fs history, it actuallywasn•ft even the most dev-astating or deadly fire thatday. At the same time theChicago Fire was burningthe town of Peshtigo,Wiscon-sin, along with doz-ens of other towns and vil-lages in the area, was com-pletely consumed by a firethat claimed the lives of asmany as 2,500 people whileburning nearly 1.5 millionacres, making it the deadli-est fire in America•fs history.

These days Fire Preven-tion Week aims to com-memorate that which waslost in the deadly fires of1871 by educating the pub-lic about the importance offire prevention and pre-paredness.

In addition to Fire Pre-vention Week, now that themajority of colleges and uni-versities are back in sessionNFPA is also urging schools,students, and parents to fo-cus on emergency and firepreparedness around cam-pus. Many fires and in-juries

If construction disturbssurface soil in any way—through excavation, trench-ing, grading, stockpiling ofmaterials, or other activi-ties—and the site is one acreor larger, NPDES regula-tions apply. Smaller sitesthat are part of larger devel-opments also are included.

Federal NPDES regula-tions are minimum require-ments for states to follow indeveloping their own land-disturbance regulations. Ifan individual state has a fed-erally approved program,the Federal EPA will delegatethe responsibilities for issu-ing permits and monitoringand enforcing compliance tothe state.

Sediment-control workmay be performed by thegeneral contractor or sub-contractors. Today there arecontractors who specializein sediment control, haveknowledge of NPDES andlocal regulations, and havespecialized equipment toperform their work.

Many methods are em-ployed to meet compliance,including check dams, con-touring the land, hydromulching, erosion-control

blankets, straw or ricewattles, and seeding/fertili-zation to establish and main-tain ground cover to holdsoil in place. Walls con-structed of concrete bagsstabilize and protect vulner-able areas from erosion.Erosion-control fences con-trol sediment by formingsmall ponds that allow sedi-ment to settle out of suspen-sion instead of being carriedoffsite in runoff.

Each site is different, soeach plan must take into ac-count topography of the ter-rain to determine which ero-sion-control methods areneeded. It is essential to de-velop an erosion-controlplan that complies withNPDES and local regula-tions while correctly utilizingthe different erosion-controltechniques available. How-ever, plan development isbeyond the scope of theseguidelines, which focussolely on methods for con-structing sediment-controlfences, the most commontype of erosion control usedon construction sites.

TEMPORARY SEDI-MENT-CONTROL FENCES

Many different types oferosion-control methods areemployed at constructionsites, but one of the mostcommon is the temporarysediment-control fence, orsilt fence, which is removedafter a construction projectis complete.

A silt fence is composedof a geotextile fabricstretched between steel orwooden stakes. The bottomedge of the fabric is buriedin the ground with posts onthe uphill side. Geotextilefence material is available inrolls with widths of 36inches. Fence material witha wire mesh backing also isavailable. The wire adds ri-gidity to the fence.

Contrary to common be-lief, the fabric is not used tofilter out sediment. Its pur-pose is to slow the flow ofstorm water runoff, allowingwater to "pond" so that sus-pended sediments cansettle. A fence's effective-ness depends on its locationrelative to terrain features.Ideally, the fence is installedon the contour of the site;

however, in many cases thisis not possible, so the next-best practice is to install sec-tions of fence in j-hook con-figurations that createponding areas for sedimen-tation settlement. Silt fencesusually are placed alongperimeters of work sites, butalso can be used at otherlocations as barriers and todirect runoff water flow.

Many silt fences are im-properly constructed andmaintained. Breaks infences, collapsed sectionsof fabric, and gaps betweenthe ground's surface and thebottom of the fabric may al-low water carrying sedi-ments to flow freely past thebarrier. These violations ofNPDES standards can re-sult in penalties rangingfrom a few hundred dollarsto substantial amounts andcan result in an order to stopwork.

Traditionally, the basicmethods for installing fencefabric in the ground havebeen trenching and staticplowing, also called slicing.More recently, the techniqueof vibratory plowing hasbeen adapted for silt fenceinstallation.

Whatever method isused, the first step in con-structing a silt fence is tosecure the bottom edge ofthe fence fabric into theground. Staking is done af-ter the fabric is in place.

INSTALLATION BYTRENCHING

When silt fences firstcame into use, the proce-dure to install fabric was todig a trench, place the fab-ric in the ground, fill thetrench and compact the fillto hold the fabric in place.Specifications today typi-cally call for fabric to beplaced at a depth of six toeight inches in the ground,depending on site planspecifications. A trench forshort sections of fence canbe dug by hand, but manualdigging is time-consuming,and most trenches are dugby a compact walk-along orriding trencher, or skid-steerloader with trenching attach-ment. Whatever the equip-ment, the trench's depthmust be sufficient to meetspecifications of the project,and the width of the trenchshould be as narrow aspractical to limit the amountof backfilling and compact-ing.

Fabric is unrolled adja-cent to the trench for place-ment. After fabric is securedin the trench, the excavationis filled and compacted. De-pending on soil conditions,driving the trench-digging

machine several times overthe filled excavation may suf-ficiently compact the soil.Hand-held air or hydraulictampers do a better job ofcompaction.

Stakes are driven in theground; fabric extendingfrom the ground is securedto the stakes to form thefence. The trenching instal-lation method can be difficultand must be done properlyto avoid problems. Stakesmust be driven after trench-ing so as not to interfere withcompaction, the trenchmust be cleaned out beforeplacing fabric, fabric shouldbe inserted in the trench ata uniform depth, and back-filling or compaction mustbe done properly.

INSTALLATION BYPLOWING

There are two plowingmethods used to place siltfencing in the ground: staticplowing (slicing) and vibra-tory plowing.

Proponents say that slic-ing is more efficient thantrenching, reduces laborcosts, and keeps fabric tightas it is buried in the ground,preventing sags in the fenc-ing. Because no trench hasbeen dug, restoration also isfaster and less costly. Fab-ric for fencing can be in-stalled as fast as the terrainof a site permits the tractoror compact tool carrier totravel. In most cases, all thatis required for compaction isto drive the host vehicleover the slit created by theplow blade. Depending onsoil conditions, one or sev-eral passes may be neces-sary. Both standard rolls offabric and fabric with meshbacking can be installed bythis method.

Static Plowing. In the mid1990s, installation of fencefabric by static slicing wasdeveloped as a way to avoidproblems associated withtrenching installation meth-ods. Installations are madewith a plow attachmentmounted on a tractor or skid-steer loader. Either machinecan be equipped with a reelto carry the supply ofgeotextile fabric, and a nar-row, custom-shaped plowblade. Fabric is threadedthrough a chute in the bladeand placed in the ground.

To install the fabric, theblade is lowered into theground. As the machinemoves forward, fabric feedsthrough the chute and intothe soil. The blade is designedto keep fabric tight as it isburied to prevent sags in thefencing. The blade generatesno vibration or oscillatory mo-


tion; the blade's tip disruptsthe soil upward to prevent hori-zontal compaction, while si-multaneously preparing thesoil for future mechanicalcompaction.

Vibratory Plowing. A re-cent enhancement to the slic-ing method is vibratory plow-ing, a proven technology thathas been used for decadesto install electrical and com-munications cable and small-diameter piping.

Installations are made witha vibratory plow attachmentmounted on a tractor, com-pact tool carrier or a Zahn®tool carrier. A vibratory plowuses a vibratory drive unit andblade attachment to producea slice in the soil. The vibratorrapidly oscillates, moving theblade a short distance verti-cally; this vibrating action cre-ates a fracture in the groundin front of the blade, substan-tially reducing the draft forcerequired for the blade to cutthrough the ground, as wellas reducing resistance on thesides of the blade.

A Ditch Witch® silt fencevibratory plow consists of ashaker component, specialplow blade, guide disk, andcompaction wheel. A 1,500-foot supply of fencing fabricis placed on the reel and fab-ric is fed through the chute ofthe special blade. The vibra-tory plow attachment trails themachine feeding the fabricthrough the blade into theground.

The disc inserts the fabricinto the slit in a j-hook con-figuration at its lowest point.In most soils, the narrow slitcreated by the blade resultsin the soil closing back ontothe fabric, firmly securing it atthe required depth in theground. Positioned behind theblade, the small compactionwheel rides on top of theground to minimize distur-bance caused by the blade.Both standard and wire-mesh-backed fencing fabriccan be installed by thismethod.

In most soil conditions, vi-bratory plowing creates lesssurface damage than staticplowing, which drags a bladethrough the ground by pullingforce alone. The vibrating ac-tion typically reduces by halfthe drawbar force necessaryto pull the blade through theground, making it possible touse more compact equipmentfor installations. Because itsoscillating blade cuts throughsoil faster than a static blade,the vibratory plow is, in mostconditions, faster than a staticplow.

Ditch Witch vibratory plowsilt fence components can befactory- or dealer-installed ona variety of equipment mod-els and sizes.

STAKINGOnce geotextile fabric is

secured in the ground and thesoil is compacted, the finalstep in fence installation is toattach the fabric to stakes.

Fabric should always beinstalled on the uphill side ofthe posts, and the distancebetween stakes shouldrange from five to eight feet,depending on site condi-tions and project specifica-tions. Either wooden or steelstakes may be used andshould be driven at least 12inches into the ground.Stakes must be longenough to support fencingmaterial and accumulatedsediment at the specifiedvertical height.

Fence material should bestretched so there are nosags and secured to eachpost. Staples may be usedto secure fabric to woodenstakes. Steel posts shouldhave projections to facilitatesecuring fabric to stakes."Zip" ties—at least three to apost—can be used to quicklyfasten fabric to steel stakes.If fabric pulls from theground during the processof attaching it to posts, thenit has been improperly in-stalled and must be cor-rectly placed and the soilcompacted or the fence willfail. After construction onthe site is complete, stakesand fencing material are re-moved.

MAINTENANCEAfter a silt fence is in-

stalled, it must be carefullymaintained. Breaks in fenc-ing material, downedstakes, and other damagemust be repaired immedi-ately. Sediment and debristhat accumulates on theuphill side of the fencemust be removed to pre-vent overflows during rainevents. Project owners aresubject to fines for failureto properly maintain siltfences and other erosionbarriers. Some specialistcontractors who install siltfencing also provide clean-ing and maintenance ser-vices.

SUMMARYThe EPA has docu-

mented that water pollutiondegrades surface waters,making them unsafe fordrinking, fishing, swim-ming, and other activities.As authorized by the CleanWater Act, the NPDES per-mit program controls waterpollut ion by regulat ingpoint sources that dis-charge pollutants into U.S.

waters.An important part of the

NPDES program is control-ling storm water runoff fromconstruction sites. Of thevarious methods for ac-complishing this, the mostcommon is the use of sedi-ment control fences, com-monly identif ied as siltfences.

Geotextile fabric for siltfencing is available withand without wire meshbacking. Wire backingstrengthens fences, but dis-posal is more time-consum-ing when fences are re-moved after a project iscompleted.

To do its job properly, asilt fence's fabric must bef ixed securely in theground. There are two ba-sic methods for accom-plishing this: trenching andplowing.

Trenching is slower,more labor-intensive, and ifnot carefully done with fillsoil properly compacted,the fabric may come out ofthe ground, causing thefence to malfunction. Plow-ing methods include staticplowing, also known as slic-ing, and vibratory plowing.

A static plowing attach-ment mounted on a tractor,skid-steer loader, or othervehicle, includes a reel car-rier and blade.

Fencing material feedsthrough a chute in theblade and into the groundas the host vehicle movesforward. A vibratory plowcomponent mounted onthe host vehicle differs fromstatic equipment by incor-poration of a vibratingmechanism that rapidly os-cillates vertically, allowingthe plow blade to more eas-ily pass through the earth.Fabric mounted on a reelcarrier feeds through theblade's chute and is posi-tioned to the correct depthby a rotating disc.

A roller mounted behindthe blade presses down onthe slit to facilitate restora-tion. Because vibratoryplowing makes more effi-c ient use of avai lablehorsepower, smaller hostvehicles may be used andvibratory plowing usually isfaster than static plowing.

Since its introduction in1972, the NPDES permitprogram is responsible forsignificant improvementsto our nation's water qual-ity. The NPDES website—h t t p : / / c f pub . epa . gov /npdes/—provides detailedinformat ion about thestorm water program andpermitting, and has links toaccess individual staterequirements.

New Study Finds A SimpleSolution Pays Big ForWater Conservation

The most inefficient appli-ance in the home is also theone that uses the most wa-ter. Most toilets waste waterfour out of five flushes be-cause they empty the entiretank with every flush. That’sa lot of water being wasted,especially considering thatthe U.S. EPA estimates thatresidential toilets accountfor a third of the U.S. indoorhousehold water use, ormore than 2 trillion gallonsof water a year.

A recently released studyshows that individuals canmake a big difference in re-ducing the amount of waterthey use indoors – as muchas 30%, by using dual flushtechnology.

The study was conductedby Veritec Consulting, devel-oper of the de facto toiletperformance standards forthe U.S EPA’s WaterSenseProgram, in conjunction withEquity Residential and MJSI,a leader in water conserva-tion products. The purposewas to reduce water de-mands in an apartment com-plex by retrofitting existingtoilets without sacrificingperformance.

In the study, 8-year-old1.6 gpf toilets were retrofit-ted with the HydroRight™drop-in dual flush kit thatconverts a standard toilet

into a two-button toilet witha Quick Flush button for liq-uids and paper – the settingneeded 4 out of 5 times - anda second Full Flush settingfor more. The results showedthat installation of theHydroRight reduced indoorwater use by 30%. In the re-port, Bill Gauley, principleand co-founder of Veritec,said that installation of theHydroRight can be “ex-pected to save even morewater if retrofitting toilets thatflush with 3.5 gallons ormore.”

Widely accepted in Eu-rope and Australia, water-saving dual flush technologyhas only recently been intro-duced in the United States.Arriving first as dual flushtoilets that require replace-ment of the entire toilet,more recent plumbing inno-vation has produced dualflush converter kits that ret-rofit existing toilets into dualflush systems in minutes.

WPC Welcomes UNDeclaration on Water &

SanitationChairman of the World

Plumbing Council, RobertBurgon, has welcomed theadoption by the United Na-tions General Assembly on28 July 2010 of a resolutionrecognizing access to cleanwater and sanitation as a hu-man right.

The resolution is callingon States and internationalorganizations to provide fi-nancial resources, build ca-pacity and transfer technol-ogy, particularly to develop-ing countries, in scaling upefforts to provide safe,clean, accessible and af-fordable drinking water andsanitation for all.

“While many people willalready be aware of the Mil-lennium Development Goalswhich aim to improve thepercentage of the worldpopulation which has ac-cess to clean water andsanitation, the UN resolution

should come as a timely andpowerful reminder thatplumbing is not only impor-tant but a key human right.”

Burgon continued “Atten-tion is often focused on Af-rica and Asia as the regionsof the world having the big-gest problems in relation tolack of water and sanitation.In fact, there are problemsin many parts of the world.For example, nearly 140 mil-lion people – 16 per cent ofEurope’s population – stilllive in homes that are notconnected to a drinking-wa-ter supply, and about 85 mil-lion people do not have ac-cess to adequate sanitation.

These are shocking sta-tistics and WPC will continueto do whatever it can toraise awareness that goodplumbing is essential to cre-ate the living conditions towhich all people areentitled.”
