California Air Resources Board

Aztec Construction & Restoration and Benson Roofing Case Settles for $40,000

In May 2016, Aztec Construction& Restoration and Benson Roofing paid $40,000.00 in penalties for violating air quality regulations.

State Law establishes the Asbestos National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants as Airborne Toxic Control Measure (Asbestos ATCM) enforceable by Air Resources Board (ARB). The Asbestos ATCM requires the owner(s) or operator(s) of demolition or renovation activities to thoroughly inspect for the presence of asbestos, remove and dispose of asbestos properly, and to provide written notification of the intention to demolish or renovate a regulated facility ten (10) working days before demolition or renovation begins.

An investigation by ARB staff showed that Aztec Construction& Restoration, and Benson Roofing, failed to thoroughly inspect for the presence of asbestos, failed to properly remove and dispose of asbestos and failed to properly notify ARB before removal of asbestos containing roofing material at Quincy Junior-Senior High School in  Plumas County.  To settle the case, Aztec Construction & Restoration and Benson Roofing, agreed to the $40,000.00 penalty.
