For a job to qualify as a minor RRP project, the interior disturbance must be less than how many square feet?

• A. 2 sq ft
• B. 6 sq ft
• C. 12 sq ft
• D. 20 sq ft

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is the size threshold that classifies a renovation as a minor RRP project. In interior work, if you disturb less than six square feet of lead-painted surfaces in a single job, it qualifies as a minor project, which means you can follow the simpler lead-safe practices. Disturbing six square feet or more triggers the full lead-safe requirements for renovations. Exterior work uses a separate threshold (up to twenty square feet), but for interior work the limit is six.
