BOSTON The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) penalized two contractors, Columbia Construction Company of North Reading, and USA Demolition Inc. of Woburn, $32,100 each after asbestos violations, including the improper removal of 3,000 square feet of asbestos-containing floor tile, were found at 32 Tozer Road in Beverly.
On Aug.5, 2011, MassDEP inspected the property, where Columbia had been hired as a general contractor to conduct renovation work, and USA Demolition as a sub-contractor to perform demolition work. Neither company properly notified MassDEP of the demolition work or asbestos abatement work as required. In addition, the companies engaged in the improper removal, collection, and disposal into a rolloff dumpster at the site of the asbestos-containing floor tile. The work was done without any controls to prevent the release of the loose, dry, friable, asbestos material into the air.
"When asbestos is removed improperly, it creates emissions that are known to be a health hazard to those who breathe that material into their lungs," said Eric Worrall, director of MassDEPs Northeast Regional Office in Wilmington. "The lack of notification, the lack of controls and the careless disposal of this material are all violations and caused an unacceptable public health risk to workers and anyone else in the immediate area."
After MassDEP ordered the work halted, and the work area cordoned off, the companies hired a licensed asbestos contractor to prepare a plan to remediate the site in compliance with all asbestos removal and disposal regulations.
Columbia will pay $9,700 of its penalty and MassDEP has agreed to suspend the remaining $22,400 provided there no additional violations over the next year. USA Demolition will pay $8,700 of its penalty and MassDEP has agreed to suspend the remaining $23,400 provided there are no additional violations over the next year.
MassDEP is responsible for ensuring clean air and water, safe management and recycling of solid and hazardous wastes, timely cleanup of hazardous waste sites and spills, and the preservation of wetlands and coastal resources.

Woburn demolition firm fined by DEP
Morgan County Fair officials want to bring more excitement to the annual summertime event.
To help this year with one of the fairs big attractions, fair organizers brought in Ramer Race Promotions of Mendota to provide some expert help in arranging a demolition derby.
We provide a safe and entertaining demolition derby that levels the playing field and encourages local participation, said Carol Ramer, secretary-treasurer of ramerinc.com. Paul and Carol Ramer, their son, two daughters, a son-in-law and several close friends run the business, which coordinates about 12 demolition derbies around Illinois every summer.
Each Ramer family member has a specific task to perform, including risk management, insurance, technical setup on cars, photography, videography and scorekeeping.
We got into demolition derbies in 1993 because the LaSalle County 4-H Fair wanted a derby but couldnt afford one, Carol Ramer said. Our family was very active with 4-H at the time, so they approached us because my husband, Paul, had been racing and running in derbies since 1967.
It is a sport we have always enjoyed, and we are trying to bring it back to the average guy rather than who has the most money to put into their car, she said. Having cars that bend and are easier to build are what gives the novice a fair chance to start in derbies, added Jim Beaty, risk manager for Ramer Race Promotions. Beaty is in charge of shutting down the demolition derby track when unsafe situations arise.
Its safety first for all the Ramers, who check fuel systems and make sure batteries are secure, among other things.
We also look at the cars frames to make sure there isnt any added material or modifications not specified in our rules, said Matt Ramer, who carefully inspects each car prior to a demolition derby.
I think the community enjoys coming out to the demolition derby, said Luke Armstrong, chairman of the Morgan County Fairs demolition derby. The last few years the derby has been struggling due to weather and fewer entries. The fair board has been trying to bring better shows to the fair, and we hope this years demolition derby will turn out to be what people want to see.

Demolition derby's goal is to build up fair
Recreation They say city sped up demolition; players mother starts petition to include diamonds in new park.
Tegan Melanson used to go to Rivertons Main Park to play baseball, but now, when the 8-year-old visits, he just bawls.
The park is the former home of Utah Select, an accelerated for-profit baseball league, which involved more than 1,700 youths from all over Utah. Tegan has been playing in the league for the past four years.
The park, and its five baseball diamonds, were demolished on July 5, one month earlier than scheduled, to make way for a new park that does not include any diamonds.
Some residents are upset that the city did not keep the Aug. 15 demolition date previously announced in Rivertons June newsletter, especially because they were under the impression that they would still have an opportunity to provide input at a City Council meeting on Tuesday.
Teveka Melanson, Tegans mother, believes that there has not been enough public input, so she started a petition to put the citys plan and the residents plan to a vote.
Before, she wanted to save the diamonds. Now, Melanson and her supporters have shifted their focus to get some baseball diamonds included in the new park.
She urges even those who do not want baseball diamonds at the new park to sign the petition so they have the opportunity to provide input on what the new park will look like, especially because they will be paying for it.
"Even if you vote to not have baseball diamonds, at least you had the chance to vote," Melanson said.
Melanson will be at the south side of the park, at 12300 S. 1300 West, at 10 a.m. Saturday to collect petition signatures. The petition is only open to those registered to vote in Riverton. To force the vote, the petition must have 20 percent or approximately 4,000 valid signatures.

Demolition of baseball fields upsets Riverton residents (video)

In the weeks before the deadly Market Street collapse, the building's owner repeatedly warned top city officials and Salvation Army officials that the demolition could endanger the adjacent Salvation Army thrift store.
But that did not prompt the city to step in. Nor did it stop the owner from rapidly demolishing the building, with devastating consequences.
E-mails and letters reviewed by The Inquirer show repeated warnings about a possible collapse with potentially deadly results.
"This nonsense must end before someone is seriously injured or worse: those are headlines none of us want to see or read," wrote Thomas J. Simmonds Jr., property manager for the building's owner, in an e-mail to Deputy Mayor Alan Greenberger on May 22. He was complaining about an impasse in negotiations with the Salvation Army, which he claimed created "a situation that poses a threat to life and limb."
That was 14 days before the June 5 collapse, in which an empty four-story building under demolition fell onto the adjacent thrift store.
Six people inside the store were killed. Thirteen were injured.
Correspondence reviewed by The Inquirer shows that STB Investments Corp., the owner of 2136-38 Market St., promised a safer demolition procedure than it actually used, and it pushed forward with the demolition despite its own warnings and its still-unresolved negotiations with the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army was seeking assurances that demolition would not proceed until a legal agreement was reached about several issues, including protection for the thrift store roof, partial removal of a chimney on the thrift store, and repairs to the common wall and the sidewalk.
