In April 2008, Expo Abatement Corporation of Newburyport, MA began a demolition operation which included the removal of asbestos at the Central H8igh School located in Providence, RI. Expo Abatement Corporation did not submit a renovation and demolition notification to EPA at least 10 working days before the asbestos stripping or removal work or any other activity began, which is in violation of Asbestos National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). On June 9, 2008, the Region issued an Immediate Compliance Order to ensure that Expo Abatement Corporation take immediate steps to conduct business in full compliance with the Asbestos NESHAP.
