Alameda County Industries, Inc. Settlement
Alameda County Industries, Inc. Case Settles for $3,500
Alameda County Industries, Inc. (ACI) provides solid waste collection and recycling services in Alameda County. In June 2010, agreed to pay $3,500 in penalties; $2,625 to the California Air Pollution Control Fund and $875 to the Peralta Community College District for violating air quality regulations. An investigation by the ARB showed that ACI failed to comply with the solid waste collection vehicle rule by neglecting to install legally required emission-reduction devices by applicable compliance dates. ARB documented violations as they related to the Solid Waste Collection Vehicle Program (SWCV). To settle the case ACI agreed to the $3,500 penalty and to comply with the SWCV program in addition to other ARB programs.
