Inspectors claim that Rock Springs failed to notify the appropriate officials before convening demolition on the factory. Furthermore, the company failed to have the building inspected by a certified asbestos inspector in order to determine the extent of asbestos materials located in the building.
Rock Springs was further issued an order instructing them to refrain from disturbing the existing soil cap throughout demolition. The company may reconvene the demolition at the site following their compliance with EPA orders.
