Sep 16, 2007 - CITY OF OAKRIDGE OREGON FINED FOR ASBESTOS VIOLATIONS
The City of Oakridge, Oregon has been fined $9,600 for improperly disposing of asbestos-containing debris from mobile homes that it demolished this spring. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral. When mined and used in manufacturing products, such as insulation, the asbestos breaks into long, thin fibers. When inhaled, the asbestos fibers cause mesothelioma, lung cancer and other serious diseases. Mobile homes usually are constructed using asbestos-containing materials, including roofing, joint compounds and floor tiles. Therefore, strict precautions must be taken when demolishing them.
In addition to the $9,600 fine for improper disposal, Oakridge was fined $2,400 for failing to conduct an asbestos survey prior to demolishing the mobile homes. The city was also assessed $3,600 for allowing uncertified contractors to do the work on the abatement project and another $3,600 for allowing asbestos-containing waste material to accumulate at an unauthorized waste disposal site.
