Companies are allowed to run power generators without risk of being fined in cases of emergency or for maintenance under the district regulations. Apple, however, was operating its generators for other unspecified purposes.
The district imposes the fines to help enforce the local air quality standard regulations. Larry Greene, district executive director, commented “When a business neglects to observe air quality regulations the health of our citizens is jeopardized.”
Apple agreed to the fine as a part of the districtis voluntary settlement program which is designed to help avoid pursuing violation enforcement through the courts.
