Anaheim Union High School District Settles For $171,000.00
An investigation by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) showed that Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD) was in violation of the Truck and Bus Regulation (California Code of Regulations, title 13, section 2025(k)). Through a routine audit, CARB discovered the violations and confirmed them during the investigation. AUHSD failed to bring 100 percent of their buses into compliance by January 1, 2014. The total penalty assessed in this case was $171,000, with a per unit penalty of $3,000. An agreement between CARB and AUHSD includes completion of a mitigation plan at AUHSD’s own expense to mitigate emissions from these violations. If AUHSD is unable to comply with the terms set forth in the Settlement Agreement, AUHSD will pay $171,000 in penalties for violating air quality regulations.
AUHSD agreed to the conditions of the Settlement Agreement, including the mitigation plan. AUHSD must submit proof of compliance with the Truck and Bus Regulation before July 1, 2020. AUHSD and CARB continue to work through a compliance plan in order to bring the fleet into full compliance with the Truck and Bus Regulation.
