KTR Logistics Case Settles for $5,000.00
In December 2013, KTR Logistics paid $5,000.00 in penalties for violating air quality regulations: $3,750.00 went to the California Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California's air quality; $1,250.00 went to the Peralta Colleges Foundation 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 KTR Logistics failed to properly self-inspect their diesel trucks to assure the trucks met state smoke emission standards. ARB documented the violations as related to the Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP). To settle the case, KTR Logistics agreed to the $5,000.00 penalty and to comply with the PSIP regulation.
