We've warned about improper asbestos handling and removal before. Here's another example of why.
A man convicted last year of illegally removing, handling and disposing of asbestos at a Kankakee, Illinois building has been sentenced to ten years in federal prison. According to an EPA press release, Duane "Butch" O'Malley was also ordered to pay more than $47,000 to the EPA related to the cleanup, plus a $15,000 fine.
Prosecutors said employees of O'Malley's company, Origin Fire Protection, removed asbestos from insulation, loaded it in unmarked bags and dumped the bags in an open field.
