Somewhere on the forum there was a thread on the EPA and lead on shooting ranges.  I need some info guys.
Anyone know the LEGALS on this.   What do we need to do to stay under the radar of the EPA and be compliant?

I need this info ASAP so we have time to respond/react/act/de-act before the next scheduled weekend shoot in Humansville.

GG,

Try this, straight from the EPA website:

Also, I believe there is some info at www.nssf.org, but could not find it real quick.

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

never abandon the range and have a written lead recovery/mitigation plan.
