In September 2008, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ordered the city of Winslow, Arizona, to pay a $240,400 penalty for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act regarding asbestos.

The U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona is currently reviewing a proposed consent order which will resolve a 2007 complaint against the city, the city’s former administrator and the owner of an apartment building complex for their roles in the alleged unlawful demolition activities.

After the city declared the complex as uninhabitable in 2002, four of the nine buildings were demolished. The EPA investigation alleged the defendants did not follow the applicable laws regarding the removal of asbestos-containing materials (ASM) before the demolition took place.

The alleged violations included prior notification and inspection of buildings for ASM, failure to notify the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, failure to properly remove ACM at the demolition site, failure to dispose of ACM in a manner that would prevent ACM fibers from being released into the air and failure to keep required waste shipment records for ACM.
