Imperial County has filed an official complaint through the state Superior Court against a construction company for what the county claims are equipment and air violations in the construction of the All-American Canal lining project.
On Tuesday, the county confirmed that a complaint had been filed against Phoenix-based Ames Construction. The complaint does not legally halt construction on the project. “They’re operating internal combustion engines — pumps, generators — and they don’t feel they need to have district permits that we require,” said Imperial County Air Pollution Control District Officer Steve Birdsall. “We disagree.
“We’re trying to protect our air quality,” Birdsall said. “We’re treating them no differently than we’re treating anyone else.”
