MILL MANAGER SENTENCED FOR VIOLATING THE CLEAN AIR ACT
AND MAIL FRAUD
AND MAIL FRAUD
On April 3, Dana Dulohery, former plant manager at a Louisiana-Pacific Corp. manufacturing facility in Olathe, Colo., was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado in Denver for his conviction on charges of violating the Clean Air Act and mail fraud. The defendant will serve 10 months in prison, pay a fine of $15,000 and will serve three years probation after his release. Dulohery previously pleaded guilty to conspiring to tamper with air emission control equipment at the facility. He also admitted that he conspired to falsify emission report data to state and federal regulators in 1991 and 1992. In the process, he concealed the fact that airborne emissions of sulfur dioxide, methlyne dioxyisocynate, and formaldehyde at the Louisiana Pacific facility exceeded the facility’s discharge permit. The high level of emissions caused medical problems for local citizens. The case was investigated by EPA’s Criminal Investigation Division with the assistance of EPA’s National Enforcement Investigations Center.
