Friedman and Schmitt penalized for three asbestos violations

Although the ALJ concluded that Friedman & Schmitt were not liable for the alleged violations of the Asbestos NESHAP, the ALJ nevertheless provided an analysis of what he believed an appropriate penalty would be in the event that the Board disagreed with his liability determination.

In this alternative analysis, the ALJ rejected the Region’s proposed penalty of $134,300, determining instead that $3,500 would be an appropriate penalty. For the following reasons, we adopt certain aspects of the ALJ’s analysis and reject others.

As explained below, we assess a penalty of $30,980 for Friedman & Schmitt’s three violations of the Asbestos NESHAP.
