Federal EPA RRP Rule (40 CFR 745) applies in Allen for any renovation of pre-1978 housing disturbing more than 6 sq ft interior or 20 sq ft exterior of painted surface. Certified firms required.
Texas DSHS administers lead program with EPA authorization. Contractors must be EPA/DSHS Lead-Safe Certified Firms with at least one Certified Renovator on-site. Pre-renovation Renovate Right pamphlet must be provided to owners/tenants. Work practices include plastic containment, HEPA vacuuming, and proper disposal. Allen building inspectors verify RRP compliance during permitting for qualifying pre-1978 projects; much of Allens housing stock is post-1980 so scope is limited.
EPA/DSHS fines up to 37,500 dollars per violation per day. Contractor decertification possible.
