EPA v. TOM MICHELSON

Case summary

On April 4, 2012, Region 1 filed a CAFO that both initiates and resolves a Clean Air Act enforcement action against Thomas C. Michelson, an individual living in Stowe, Vermont. The Region’s administrative civil claims against Mr. Michelson resulted from a violation of Section 112 of the CAA and the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Asbestos, 40 C.F.R. Part 61, Subpart M (Asbestos NESHAP). Specifically, the violation was due to Michelson’s failure to provide EPA with prior written notification of a demolition operation with respect to a small motel in Stowe completed in April 2010. The CAFO requires the Respondent to pay a civil penalty of $500, based on a documented ability to pay claim, and to certify current compliance with Section 112 of the CAA and the Asbestos NESHAP
