A minor RRP exterior project is defined as disturbing less than how many square feet per side?

• A. 10
• B. 20
• C. 40
• D. 60

Answer: (B)

The test focuses on how the size of the renovation area on each exterior surface determines if a project is considered minor under the RRP rule. A project is classified as minor when the work disturbs less than 20 square feet on any single exterior side. This per-side measurement means you evaluate each wall, siding, or exterior surface separately. If every side you disturb stays under 20 ft², the project is treated as minor and can follow the lighter lead-safe practices; if any side exceeds 20 ft², it’s not minor and requires the more stringent requirements. So, less than twenty square feet per side is the threshold. For example, an exterior surface you disturb at 18 ft² qualifies as minor, whereas a surface at 24 ft² does not.
