Edmonds Wastewater Treatment Plan receives asbestos report violation

At the Jan. 25 Cty Council meeting, Wastewater Treatment Plant manager Pamela Randolph reported that an impromptu inspection by Puget Sound Clean Air Agency resulted in in a violation notice.

An inspector noticed renovations had begun without an updated Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act report.

Work was stopped until the report was obtained, said Randolph. An appeal was lodged with the Pollution Control Hearings Board .

“Our belief is that we followed the regulations as written, but that is not PSCA’s understanding,” said Randolph.

“We will continue to the work this issue in hope of having a resolution by March 2022. At this point, we do expect to be levied a fine.”
