Mundo Trucking, Inc. Case Settles for $19,500
Mundo Trucking, Inc. will pay $19,500.00 in penalties for violating air quality regulations: $9,750.00 will go to the Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and $9,750.00 will go to the School Bus Retrofit Project to retrofit school buses throughout California with diesel emission control strategies.) This settlement was reached in May 2017.
An investigation by the Air Resources Board (ARB) showed that Mundo Trucking, Inc. failed to bring three of their trucks into compliance with the applicable in-use performance standards, failed to bring three of their transport refrigeration units (TRUs) into compliance with the applicable in-use performance standards, and 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), the TRU Airborne Toxic Control Measure, and the Truck and Bus (TB) Regulation. To settle the case, Mundo Trucking, Inc. agreed to the $19,500.00 penalty and to comply with PSIP, TRU, TB, and other ARB programs.
