U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced a settlement with Two Chicks and a Hammer, Inc., of Indianapolis, Indiana, to resolve alleged violations of the Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RPR) that were depicted on the television program “Good Bones.”

EPA alleged that beginning in 2017, Two Chicks and a Hammer performed or directed workers to perform renovations in three Indianapolis residential properties constructed prior to 1978 without complying with applicable RRP Rule requirements. Since being contacted by EPA, the company has obtained RRP firm certification, certified it is complying with the RRP Rule and agreed to comply with the RRP Rule in all future renovation activities.

Under the settlement, Two Chicks and a Hammer, Inc. will pay a civil penalty of $40,000 and produce a video about renovations involving lead-based paint, primarily featuring Mina Starsiak Hawk. The company will also post another video on social media about protecting children from lead exposure.
