Lead-paint rules in Canal Winchester follow federal EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule and Ohio Department of Health lead abatement regulations under OAC 3701-30 and ORC Chapter 3742. Applies to pre-1978 housing.
Contractors disturbing more than 6 square feet of interior or 20 square feet of exterior lead-painted surfaces in pre-1978 homes must be EPA RRP-certified and use lead-safe work practices. Property owners renovating their own homes are exempt from certification but should still follow safe practices. Landlords must provide the federal lead disclosure pamphlet to tenants. Ohio requires certified lead abatement contractors (ORC 3742.03) for full abatement projects. Fairfield and Franklin County Public Health Departments investigate elevated blood lead levels in children and can order abatement. Ohio Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program provides testing and case management.
RRP non-compliance: federal EPA fines up to 37,500 dollars per day per violation. Unpermitted abatement under ORC 3742: Ohio Department of Health fines and contractor license revocation.
