There actually is mandatory
reporting and testing (§6030-D.
Radon testing, rental properties specifically) to the State of
Maine; however, the Radon
Registration Act and its related sections and Rules apparently
(?) didn't provide for adequate funding for managing these reports -
apparently (?) §780.
Fees didn't cover enough of the associated costs for proper
data stewardship.
While unfunded-mandates seems like an old refrain, the report's
data structure at least includes a ZIP_CODE field and an
optional ADDRESS field. The person I spoke with at the DHHS
Radiation Control Program kindly answered my questions while also
seeming to be exasperated by the legislature's lack of follow
through and lack of funding.
The idea of mapping Maine's radon levels would probably be short
work once the database had been updated.
