摘要

The EPA and DOJ announced that a federal jury in Utica, N. Y. has found Certified Environmental Services Inc. (CES), two of its managers, Nicole Copeland and Elisa Dunn, and one of its employees, Sandy Allen, guilty of conspiring to aid and abet Clean Air Act violations, commit mail fraud and defraud the United States. CES and Elisa Dunn also were convicted of making false statements to federal law enforcement. "Falsifying asbestos reports and air quality data is a serious crime and undermines our nation's efforts to protect human health and the environment," said Cynthia Giles, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.
