California Air Resources Board

American Debris Box Service, Inc. Case Settles for $9,750.00

In July 2013, American Debris Box Service, Inc. (ADBSI), based in Half Moon Bay, agreed to pay $9,750.00 in penalties for violating air quality regulations: $7,312.50 will go to the California Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California's air quality; $2,437.50 will go to Peralta Colleges Foundation 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 ADBSI failed to comply with the Solid Waste Collection Vehicle (SWCV) rule by neglecting to install legally required emission reduction devices by applicable compliance dates. ARB documented violations as they related to the SWCV. To settle the case, ADBSI agreed to the $9,750.00 penalty and to comply with the SWCV.
