Billet Transportation Case Settles for $6,000.00
In January 2013, Billet Transportation, agreed to pay $6,000.00 in penalties for violating air quality regulations: $4,500.00 will go to the California Air Pollution Control Fund, which provi.des funding for projects and research to improve California's air quality; $1,500.00 will go to Peralta Community College District to fund emission education classes conducted by participating California community colleges, under the California Council for Diesel Education and Technology (CCDET) program.
An investigation by the Air Resources Board (ARB) showed that Billet Transportation, failed to properly self-inspect their diesel trucks to assure the trucks met state smoke emission standards. ARB documented violations as they related to the Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP). To settle the case, Billet Transportation, agreed to the $6,000.00 penalty and to comply with the Periodic Smoke Inspection programs, and other ARB programs.
