Inquiry

For projects in Radon Zone 1, if there is a 3rd party testing to show that there is not a Radon issue in the area - can the prerequisite be skipped?

Ruling

Radon cannot be tested for prior to construction, so homes in EPA Zone 1 must have radon-resistant construction. For homes that overlook this prerequisite, project-specific CIRs may be submitted and post-construction radon testing may be allowed as an alternative.
