EPA unlikely to shut Robbins garbage incinerator
State Senator Patrick O Malley urged shutdown and hefty fines after the Robbins incinerator was cited 779 times for air pollution. EPA attorney Mary McAuliffe said revoking the license would be extraordinary. regulators plan meetings on compliance and possible fines, with federal court action as a last resort. O Malley criticized Clark officials for downplaying findings while emissions data from Jan 1 onward remained unseen.
