Zanesville High School demolition contractor deemed in compliance with EPA

The demolition contractor on the Zanesville High School project was deemed in compliance with environmental regulations.

In a letter dated Aug. 18 to Maiher Demolition, Trevor Irwin, an environmental specialist with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Division of Solid and Infectious Waste Management, said it appears Maiher is in compliance with regard to the state’s clean hard fill regulations.

And in regard to another complaint, measures to control air pollution also are in compliance, Irwin said.

Irwin and Chad Winebrenner from the Ohio EPA’s Division of Air Pollution Control met with Brian Maiher of the contractor on Aug. 10. The meeting was in regard to complaints about air emissions during the school demolition and the disposal of fill materials on the Adamsville Road property of Dow Cameron that had come to light the previous week.

Irwin said Maiher told him fill material consisting of concrete from the demolition of footers at the high school site was taken to Cameron’s property. And smaller loads of fill were being taken to a property on the West Pike.

Irwin determined that the materials at both dump sites did not violate state regulations.
