EPA to cite firms for violations in Zanesville High School demolition

Concerns raised about demolition operations at the old Zanesville High School site have led to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency getting involved.

Contractor Maiher Demolition of Carroll, as well as Dow Cameron Oil and Gas Drilling Co., will be receiving a notice for violating Ohio EPA rules on disposal.
