FOR RELEASE: THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 2002TWO NEW YORK MEN ARRESTED ON ASBESTOS REMOVAL CHARGES
Luke C. Hester 202-564-7818
Michael Wadjas and Craig Brinson of Albany, N.Y., were arrested on March 5 on charges that they illegally removed asbestos from the Hilton Industrial Park in Rensselaer, N.Y., and then dumped it at various locations near the New York-Massachusetts border in violation of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). The illegal removal of asbestos and the illegal disposal of asbestos by open dumping can cause asbestos fibers to become airborne, and the inhalation of airborne asbestos fibers is a known cause of lung cancer, a lung disease known as asbestosis and mesothelioma, which is a cancer of the chest and abdominal cavities. If convicted on all charges, each defendant faces a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison and/or a fine of up to $250,000 on each count of violating the CAA. Violations of CERCLA carry a maximum penalty of up to three years in prison and/or a fine of up to $250,000 on each count for which a defendant is convicted. The case was investigated by EPA’s Criminal Investigation Division and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation with the assistance of the New York State Department of Labor. It is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Syracuse, N.Y.

FOR RELEASE: THURSDAY, OCT. 5, 2000
NEW YORK MAN PLEADS TO ASBESTOS CRIME
Timothy Carroll of Albany, N.Y., pled guilty on September 22, in U.S. District Court in Syracuse to conspiracy to violate the Clean Air Act, commit mail fraud and file false and fraudulent income tax returns. The defendant admitted that for eight years as a co-owner of Analytical Laboratories of Albany (ALA) he falsified and permitted the falsification of sample results from AAR Contractors Inc., a large asbestos abatement company. Carroll also admitted that the owner of AAR was a secret 50 percent owner of ALA. New York State asbestos laws prohibit an abatement company from owning a laboratory. The defendant further admitted destroying financial records. Falsification of asbestos abatement tests can create the potential for human exposure to asbestos fibers which, when inhaled, can cause lung cancer, a disease known as “asbestosis,” and mesothelioma, which is a cancer of the chest and abdominal cavities. When sentenced, the defendant faces a maximum of up to five years in prison and/or a fine of up to $250,000. The case was investigated by EPA’s Criminal Investigation Division, the U.S. Postal Service, the U.S. Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, and the New York State Office of the Inspector General with assistance from the New York State Departments of Labor and Health. It was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York.
