COLORADO MILL MANAGER PLEADS GUILTY TO CLEAN AIR ACT VIOLATIONS
On Jan. 15, Dana Dulohery, former plant manager at a Louisiana-Pacific Corp., manufacturing facility in Olathe, Colo., pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the Clean Air Act (CAA) and mail fraud in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado in Denver. Dulohery admitted to conspiring to tamper with air emission control equipment and conspiring to falsify emission report data to state and federal regulators to maximize product production in 1991 and 1992. In the process, he concealed emissions of sulfur dioxide, methlyne dioxyisocynate and formaldehyde that exceeded the facility’s discharge permit and caused health problems for a dozen local citizens. Robert Mann, the mill’s former supervisor, previously pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate the CAA on Aug. 28, 1997. The Louisiana Pacific Corp. still faces trial on similar charges. The case was investigated by EPA’s Criminal Investigation Division with the assistance of EPA’s National Enforcement Investigations Center.
