When an owner or operator chooses to abate RACM via encapsulation, the owner or operator shall comply with the requirements of Env-A 1808 and the following:
- (a) Ensure that filler material applied to gaps in existing material contains no asbestos, adheres well to the substrate, and provides a suitable base for the encapsulant;
- (b) Apply encapsulants using only low pressure airless spray equipment with nozzle pressure and tip size set according to the manufacturer’s recommendations; and
- (c) Specifically designate encapsulated RACM by placing permanent signs, labels, color coding, or some other readily visible mechanism on the encapsulated RACM to warn individuals who may in the future be required to disturb the material.
