The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Pollutants (NESHAP) requires an inspection for asbestos prior to renovation or demolition of buildings. If the inspection reveals regulated asbestos containing material (RACM) in excess of action levels of 260 linear feet of pipe insulation or 150 square feet of surfacing material the asbestos must be removed or stabilized by a licensed abatement contractor prior to demolition. Asbestos containing material is considered to be regulated if (1) it contains greater than one percent asbestos, and (2) is friable (easily crumbled), or will become friable under conditions of demolition.
