DThe Clean Water Act, which regulates discharges into waterways, not residential paint disclosure

Why The Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act (Title X) Is Correct

Answer C: The Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act (Title X)

Title X (the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992) requires sellers and landlords of pre-1978 housing to disclose known lead-based paint hazards and provide an EPA-approved information pamphlet to buyers or tenants.

Exam Tip: Environmental

Environmental questions test knowledge of hazards like asbestos, lead-based paint, radon, and mold. Know the disclosure requirements and when a professional inspection is required. CERCLA liability is strict, joint, and several.
