This EPA ruling applies to all jobs in pre-1978 housing and child occupied facilities where more than 6 square feet per interior room, or 20 square feet of exterior surface will be disturbed by paid workers.

The RRP rule covers a variety of jobs: renovation, remodeling, painting, window replacement, plumbing, electrical work, heating & air-conditioning, demolition, plus work performed by trades like carpenters, electricians, and handymen. The EPA has the authority to impose civil fines of up to $37,500 per violation per day, plus a criminal fine of $37,500 for knowingly violating the RRP requirements.
