Another case of asbestos worry – Philadelphia Housing Authority
LAST SEPTEMBER, Philadelphia Housing Authority plumbers ripped open Channel Saunders’ kitchen wall at the Hill Creek Apartments in Crescentville and removed leaky pipes.
COMMON MYTHS/MISPERCEPTIONS
Many contractors incorrectly assume Asbestos NESHAP does not apply to them for many reasons including:
The Environmental Protection Agency has fined Precision Demolition and Abatement, LLC., an asbestos abatement and demolition contractor in
Boise, $36,000 for failing to properly handle asbestos while renovating…….
PHOENIX – Environmental cleanups at more than 80 sites in 19 states will move forward with hundreds of millions of dollars in new funding under settlements with the sale of bankrupt copper miner Asarco LLC, the U.S. Justice Department has announced.
The University of Wisconsin-Stout in Menomonie might appeal seven asbestos-removal violations stemming from campus projects in 2009.
The violations were issued by the Wisconsin Department of Commerce, which originally charged the university with 50 counts of asbestos violations after state inspections of UW-Stout projects in May and June. The department revised its inspection report from the projects and released the shorter list of citations Wednesday.
