a facility should have been complying with a law but has not, a
consultant can come in and offer environmental compliance

A man in
Auburn, Washington disregarded Clean Air Act regulations by
knowingly letting untrained workers remove asbestos from a
building. He ended up with a 30-day prison sentence and a
$100,000 fine. Don’t let this happen to
you! If you have asbestos that needs to be removed
let the experts handle it. It is not only illegal but also
hazardous to human health if someone other than a certified
professional removes asbestos. This is because once asbestos
fibers get into the air they can be...

the release of over 600 toxic chemicals. These chemicals are
released to the air, land, and/or water. The reports
