EPA Pre-Renovation Education & Disclosure 3

Question 1

Under the EPA RRP Rule, a 'child-occupied facility' is best described as which of the following?

Accepted Answer

A building or portion thereof where children under age 6 spend significant time receiving care or education

Answer

Under the RRP Rule, a child-occupied facility is a building, or portion of a building, where children under 6 years of age spend significant time, such as day care centers, preschools, and kindergartens.

Question 2

Who bears primary responsibility for ensuring that pre-renovation education requirements are fulfilled under the EPA RRP Rule?

Accepted Answer

The renovation firm

Answer

Under the RRP Rule, the renovation firm — not just the individual certified renovator — is ultimately responsible for ensuring that all pre-renovation education and disclosure requirements are met.

Question 3

A renovation firm is about to start work on a house built in 1980. Which statement about pre-renovation disclosure is correct?

Accepted Answer

Disclosure is not required because the house was built after the 1978 lead paint ban

Answer

The RRP Rule applies only to housing built before 1978; a house constructed in 1980 was built after the residential lead paint ban, so it does not qualify as 'target housing' and pre-renovation disclosure is not required.

Question 4

What is the primary purpose of requiring distribution of the 'Renovate Right' pamphlet before renovation work begins in target housing?

Accepted Answer

To inform occupants about lead hazards and protective steps they can take during renovation

Answer

The 'Renovate Right' pamphlet is designed to educate homeowners, tenants, and occupants about lead hazards associated with renovation activities and the steps they can take to protect themselves and their families.

Question 5

If a renovation firm mails the 'Renovate Right' pamphlet to an owner who cannot be reached in person, what must the firm retain as proof of disclosure?

Accepted Answer

A certificate of mailing or return receipt from the postal service

Answer

When the pamphlet is mailed because the owner cannot be reached in person, the renovation firm must retain the certificate of mailing as documentation that the pre-renovation disclosure requirement was fulfilled.
