U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has reached an agreement with three Ohio companies on alleged violations of federal regulations on asbestos. EPA assessed a total penalty of $26,000.
The companies are CVS Corp., Twinsburg; Skilken Properties Co., Columbus; and Darby Creek Excavating Inc., Circleville.
The alleged violations took place at a demolition site in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, which CVS had bought to build a drugstore. Skilken Properties was the developer of the property, and Darby Creek Excavating was hired for demolition.
EPA filed administrative complaints against the companies in 2002. Allegations included failure to perform a thorough inspection of the property for asbestos, provide proper notifications to the state of Ohio, remove all regulated asbestos-containing material before demolition, and properly dispose of asbestos-containing waste.
