OEPA issues violation notices for factory demolition site
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has issued notices of violation to two men for improperly removing asbestos in demolishing a former factory site on Marion’s north side.
Stan Rosenfeld, principal for 333 Joseph LLC, which owns the property that had been the location of a manufacturing plant for several companies over the years, and Eric Keith, a contractor who did demolition work at the site, could face fines, OEPA spokeswoman Dina Pierce said.
The violations stem from failure to notify the OEPA at least 10 days before beginning removal of regulated asbestos-containing material, demolishing an office building without removing all regulated asbestos-containing material, failing to dispose of asbestos-containing material in a disposal site authorized to take asbestos, and failing to keep asbestos-containing material wet.
