Bathtub maker set against Clean Air Act again

Tuesday, April 11, 2000 | 9:23 a.m.

A Moapa manufacturer who was fined $575,000 by the Environmental Protection Agency last year is facing more problems in meeting requirements of the federal Clean Air Act.

Lasco Bathware was issued a violation notice in March by the EPA.

Lasco is a division of Tompkins Industries Inc., which uses Fiberglas and plastic compounds to make tubs and showers.

An EPA spokesman said the new violation is for starting construction of a new production line without a permit that ensured its operations would not worsen air pollution in Clark County.
