United States Eleventh Circuit

In an action by the EPA against defendant-property owner and lessor alleging violations of the Toxic Substances Control Act, judgment for the EPA is affirmed where: 1) the Lead Hazard Act contained specific language to be provided in sales transactions, and the EPA had the authority to issue regulations under that language; 2) there was no specific statutory requirement that the EPA adjust downward for lack of prior history, and it simply must be considered as a factor; and 3) any responsibility on behalf of an agent did not obviate the lessor's responsibility.
