Another contractor falls foul of asbestos regulations.
Clifton Farm & Excavating Co. of Perryville, Missouri is facing penalties over asbestos violations from a demolition job that took place back in June. The Missouri Air Conservation Commission voted to seek legal action after the demolition company failed to respond to the commission’s attempts to settle the case. The demolition company was cited for failing to obtain an asbestos inspection and failing to provide notice of a demolition job.
Clifton Farms demolished two Perryville homes for the Bank of Missouri earlier this year.
