JANUARY 31, 2022
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey announced a settlement with a property development company for violating clean air regulations by knowingly mishandling asbestos at one of its construction sites. The AG’s office previously filed a complaint against the company alleging that its contractor demolished a building that was known to contain asbestos without safely storing and disposing of the debris or properly cleaning up the site before rebuilding. The settlement required the company and its contractor to pay up to $325,000 in civil penalties.
