LA Water Department Fined for Asbestos Violation
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) has been fined $9,030 for demolishing structures without notifying the EPA as required by federal Clean Air Act asbestos regulations.
In August 2007, EPA and California Air Resources Board inspectors determined that structures owned by LADWP
were demolished by Department employees without prior notification to the EPA, a requirement of the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants' regulations for asbestos.
