CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - One of New Hampshire’s biggest developers has settled with the Environmental Protection Agency for lead paint violations at one of its properties.
Brady Sullivan Millworks II and Brady Sullivan Millworks IV of Manchester will pay a penalty of $90,461 after an inspection in 2015 found lead levels above acceptable safety standards at a four-story, historical mill building known as Mill West in Manchester.
The inspection by the state and the EPA was sparked by a complaint that lead dust and chipped paint from sandblasting of an unoccupied apartment was ending up in the building’s common areas, possibly exposing tenants including women and children.
Manchester ordered a halt to the sandblasting because a subcontractor didn’t have a permit, and the EPA ordered Brady Sullivan to clean up the dust.
