Which of the following is one of the three project types that must comply with RRP requirements regardless of the de minimis level?

• A. Window Replacement
• B. Prohibited Work Practices
• C. Demolition
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Under the EPA’s Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule, most renovations that disturb lead-based paint may qualify for a de minimis exemption, but three project types must follow RRP requirements no matter how small the job is. Replacing windows falls into this category because it disturbs painted surfaces around openings and can spread lead dust, so proper containment and lead-safe work practices are required. Demolition is another; tearing down parts of a building with lead-based paint typically disturbs a large amount of material and dust, triggering strict containment, cleanup, and worker protection requirements. Prohibited work practices are also included here because they inherently create unsafe levels of lead exposure and are not allowed under the rule, so they must be conducted using compliant methods. Since each of these project types requires RRP compliance regardless of de minimis, all of the above are correct.
