Mexicrete Site Development Case Settles for $3,000

In August 2010, Maxicrete Site Development agreed to pay $3,000 in penalties for violating air quality regulations:  $2,250 will go to the California Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California's air quality; $750 will go to the 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 Maxicrete Site Development failed to properly self-inspect their diesel trucks to insure the trucks met state smoke emission standards.  ARB documented violations as they related to the Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP) and the Emission Control Label Program (ECL).  To settle the case, Maxicrete Site Development agreed to the $3,000 penalty and to comply with the Periodic Smoke Inspection programs, and other ARB programs.
