The California Air Resources Board has fined a Cameron Park-based propane distributor $36,375 for diesel truck emissions violations. A CARB audit of Suburban Propane found that the company did not annually inspect its heavy-duty diesel vehicles in 2006 and 2007 at fleet centers in Placerville, Rancho Cordova, Redding, Yreka, Grass Valley, Clearlake, Lancaster, Santa Cruz, Marina, Turlock, Oakhurst, Fresno, Escondido, Lake Isabella, San Jose and Concord.
As part of the settlement, Suburban Propane must comply with the following:
The company will pay $36,375 in penalties: $27,281.25 will go to the California Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California’s air quality, with the remaining $9,093.75 going to Peralta Community College District to fund emissions education classes.
