Earlier this week the Attorney General announced a settlement agreement with Compass Restoration Services, LLC, an asbestos abatement company based in Ludlow.
The agreement resolves allegations that Compass violated the Massachusetts Clean Air Act by mishandling asbestos during renovation projects in South Hadley, Ashfield, and East Longmeadow.
According to a press release from the Attorney General:
in South Hadley, Compass performed abatement work on a rooftop mechanical penthouse that left pieces of asbestos-containing insulation dry, exposed, and scattered on the rooftop. In Ashfield, Compass removed a home boiler covered in asbestos-containing insulation and left dry, asbestos contaminated debris exposed in its basement work area. In East Longmeadow, Compass was contracted to perform asbestos abatement work at a residential property and left pieces of dry, exposed asbestos-containing siding on the ground outside around the home.
