“ In Virginia, Louisa County adopted IRC Appendix F into the local building code, requiring radon resistant new construction.”

Overview of EPA’s State & Tribal Indoor Radon Grants Program: A Focus on Activities Conducted During 2022, published in February 2023, notes this as an accomplishment. (https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-02/2022%20Annual%20SIRG%20Activities%20Report.pdf)

The Louisa County Community Development Inspection Checklist includes two items on radon:

· If using a conditioned crawlspace, a basement, or a slab, do you have your radon vent present?

· If radon vent is required, is it ran to where it will permanently terminate?
