$14,000 in Fines Paid by City of Santa Monica

The City of Santa Monica has agreed to pay $14,000 in penalties to the California Air Pollution Fund, for violating air quality regulations. An investigation by the ARB showed that the City of Santa Monica 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 (PSI). To settle the case, the City of Santa Monica agreed to the $14,000 penalty and to comply with the PSI Program. This case was closed in July 2007.
