Summary
Federal EPA RRP rules and California Title 17 lead-paint rules apply to Isleton's older housing. Certified renovators required for disturbances over 6 sq ft interior in pre-1978 buildings.
EPA's RRP Rule requires that anyone paid to perform work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes, childcare facilities and preschools built before 1978 be certified and their employees be trained (either as a certified renovator or on-the-job by a certified renovator) in the use of lead-safe work practices that minimize occupants' exposure to lead hazards. In general, the RRP Rule does not apply to homeowners doing RRP projects in their own pre-1978 homes. However, it does apply if you rent all or part of your home, operate a childcare center in your home or if you buy, renovate and sell homes for profit (i.e., a house flipper). EPA administers the RRP Program in most Tribes, states and territories, but has authorized the following to operate their own programs: Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin and the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe-Boise Forte (Nette Lake).

Full Breakdown
Federal Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule requires EPA-certified contractors for any renovation disturbing painted surfaces in homes built before 1978. California Title 17 CCR 35001 adds a parallel state certification administered by CDPH. Isleton's historic Main Street district, largely built in the 1920s following the 1926 fire, is primarily pre-1978 construction. Work exceeding 6 square feet of interior painted surface or 20 square feet exterior in pre-1978 structures triggers RRP. Real-estate disclosures require Lead Hazard Information Pamphlet for pre-1978 sales. Abatement must be done by CDPH-certified abatement contractors.
