How much RACM make the facility subject to the NESHAP regulations?
Your facility is required to follow the asbestos NESHAP regulations if the combined amount of RACM on the ship is:
At least 80 linear meters (260 linear feet) of RACM on pipes or at least 15 square meters (160 square feet) of RACM on other facility components; or
At least one cubic meter (35 cubic feet) of RACM of facility components where the amount of RACM was previously removed from pipes and other facility components could not be measured before stripping.
Note: If the combined amount of RACM is less than these amounts, then your facility only has to meet some of the notification requirements.
