    SAN FRANCISCO -- The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has reached a settlement with the U.S.
Department of Defense (DOD) that calls for DOD to pay
$72,918 for numerous alleged Clean Air Act violations at
the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson, Ariz.

    The alleged violations occurred while removing

facility in August, 1995. 

    The alleged violations included:

    failure to provide written notification of its
intention to renovate;

    failure to keep regulated asbestos-containing
material adequately wet when stripping from a facility;
          
    failure to keep regulated asbestos-containing
material adequately wet until collected and contained or
treated in preparation for disposal;

    failure to discharge no visible emissions to the
outside air during the collection, processing or
transporting of asbestos-containing waste material; and

    failure to deposit regulated asbestos-containing
waste material at an approved waste disposal site.
