Trash fine.
The California Air Resources Board also announced it had fined a
City of Industry waste hauler $270,000 for violations of emissions
rules.
In levying the fine against Arakelian Enterprises, doing business
as Athens Services, the air board said the company failed to inspect its
trucks and failed to install legally required diesel emission reduction
devices on its vehicles from 2004 through 2008.
According to the air board, Arakelian Enterprises has agreed to
ensure its inspectors take training classes at a community college,
document future inspections, install the latest software and pollution
control equipment.
Calls to Athens Services were not returned.
