The District Board of Health met on Apr. 25, 2024.
Air quality permit violations upheld; fines going to help schools
During last week’s meeting, the board upheld penalties for failing to notify AQMD of intention to demolish a facility on a date other than the one contained in the original notice. These actions are major violations of regulations governing hazardous air pollutants, specifically asbestos.
The $24,000 administrative penalty will be forwarded to the Washoe County School District to be used for environmentally focused projects for the benefit of students.
