I will continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure that these companies are held liable for any damages to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>21<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;Century Salvage &amp; Next Generation Environmental Inc. was the operator conducting the demolition and abatement activities, while Crown Enterprises, Inc. &amp; MSC Land Co., LLC is the property owner of the site. According to the MDEQ\u2019s notice, the National Emission Standard for Asbestos holds both the owner and operator liable for all violations. DEQ inspection of the McLouth site revealed visible asbestos emissions as a result of failure to follow at least three mandated abatement procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very important for property owners to properly inspect and remove asbestos before demolition,\u201d said Nick Leonard, Executive Director at the Great Lakes Environmental Law Center. \u201cIt\u2019s equally as important for the DEQ to vigorously enforce asbestos inspection and removal regulations to ensure contractors do not cut corners. Otherwise, demolition workers and people living nearby may be exposed to hazardous levels of asbestos that can cause serious respiratory problems, as well as cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMichigan\u2019s asbestos laws are clear. There\u2019s no excuse to expose employees and Downriver residents to this toxic substance, not to mention potentially contaminating the Detroit River,\u201d state Sen.&nbsp;<strong>Stephanie Chang<\/strong>&nbsp;(D-Detroit) said. \u201cI am glad to see the MDEQ on the case so quickly. Rep. Camilleri and I will monitor this situation closely and advocate strongly to all parties involved to ensure the state holds corporate polluters accountable when the health of our residents are at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legislators urge MDEQ to take action to protect public health TRENTON \u2014 This week, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) issued a violation notice to 21st&nbsp;Century Salvage &amp; Next [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pr"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.4 (Yoast SEO v26.9) -
