How much bare soil can be managed under HUD's de minimis threshold?

5 square feet
2 square feet
10 square feet
15 square feet

The correct answer is: 2 square feet

The de minimis threshold set by HUD refers to the minimum area of lead-contaminated soil that can be addressed under certain regulations without requiring extensive remediation measures. According to HUD guidelines, a total area of 2 square feet of bare soil can be managed under this threshold. This means that if a lead hazard is found in an area smaller than this amount, it can often be addressed with minimal intervention, such as safe removal or covering, rather than more intensive cleanup processes that are mandated for larger impacted areas. This provision helps streamline responses to lead hazards in residential settings, especially in urban areas where lead presence in soil is a concern.
