California Air Resources Board

Baxman Gravel Company, Inc. Case Settles for $17,500

In August 2010, Baxman Gravel Company, Inc. agreed to pay $17,500 in penalties for violating air quality regulations:  $13,125 will go to the California Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California's air quality; $4,375 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 Baxman Gravel Company, Inc. 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, Baxman Gravel Company, Inc. agreed to the $17,500 penalty and to comply with the Periodic Smoke Inspection program and other ARB programs.
