The state Department of Environmental Protection is investigating two construction dump sites for the presence of asbestos in materials in Lee County.
Since July, the DEP has removed 2,800 tons of fill material containing asbestos. This information went out to the public on Thursday.
One of the companies has paid a $6,500 fine and since January 2008, has paid 1,220 feet of asbestos discovered at one of the sites. The DEP is still investigating and is no placing blame yet. They were using the material to widen a road.
