Lead paint encapsulation

Hello paint talk. I know it's been a really long time since I posted last but I have a question that I am curious about. Honestly I haven't been keeping up in the whole lead thing and EPA rules they change so much and I am just way to consumed in other things to make time to follow up on all of the rules. So I am a lead certified safe firm I did the course a few years back and my certification doesn't expire until 2015 but my question is am I able to legally with out penalties or problems do encapsulation? I live in MA if that makes a differences.

Thanks,

Dubin

In MA you can encapsulate lead but you can not sand it, scrape it, or remove it in any way shape or form unless you are certified or licensed. Most of the major laws are still the same, some things have changed, look it up on the state website. I can pm you a lead inspector phone number you can call him and ask him questions. Don't be afraid to make a call he wont come track you down, this guy is really cool and like to help more than bust contractors.
