Smoke Emission Violations
San Diego, CA:(Oct-10-07) The California Air Resources Board (CARB) brought charges against Brinks Inc., alleging that the facility violated smoke emission standards at the company's facilities across California, including San Diego. In an investigation, the agency documented violations at Brinks facilities around the state between 2005 and 2006. According to the report, violations were found in Brinks facilities in San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County, Lancaster, the San Fernando Valley, and San Bernardino, along with Bakersfield, Oakland, Eureka, Fresno, Modesto, Petaluma, San Jose, and San Luis Obispo.
As part of a settlement reached, the company agreed to pay the agency a $147,000 fine to resolve allegations. Brinks officials agreed in Sept. 2007 to pay the six-figure penalty, which stems from violations of the state's Periodic Smoke Inspection Program, which requires annual smoke opacity tests of California-based fleets. That program, in conjunction with CARB's roadside smoke inspections, are designed to ensure that California's heavy duty vehicles are properly maintained, tamper free and do not violate pollution standards. Additionally, Brinks also agreed to require all of its fleet staff responsible for compliance with CARB regulations to attend classes conducted by the California Council on Diesel Education and Technology. As part of the deal, Brinks also must supply all smoke inspection records for the years 2007-09 and properly label engines on its fleet. [10 NEWS: SMOKE EMISSIONS]
