The Hawaii Department of Health has fined Leeward Auto Wreckers/Albert's Towing and its president, Albert Tenora for the alleged violation of their solid waste management permit. The DOH imposed a penalty of $11,880.
The violations occurred at the company's Kapolei auto salvage facility where it accepted about 1,000 scrap tires in February 2006, violating its solid waste management permit, according to the DOH.
The permit allows Leeward Auto Wreckers only to accept scrap tires it they are part of a vehicle brought in for salvaging.
In addition to the fine, DOH ordered the company to stop accepting scrap tires not part of a vehicle and to properly dispose tires that exceed the company's permitted storage capacity.
