SALEM – The owners of an unlicensed Lynnfield asbestos removal business and an employee appeared Monday in Salem Superior Court for their arraignment.David E. Harder, Jr., 47, and Julie A. Rosati, 51, both of 36 Lockwood Road, Lynnfield, pleaded innocent to numerous charges of violating the Massachusetts Clean Air Act (12 counts), evading unemployment insurance contributions (four counts) and three counts of removing asbestos without following the DEP regulations and violating the solid waste act.Harder and Rosati are the owners of AEI Environmental, LLC, of Lynnfield, which also was indicted in the case.Luiz Dias, 51, of Pelham, N.H., an employee, also pleaded innocent to falsifying hazard waste statements and conspiracy in connection with the case.Judge Timothy Q. Feeley allowed all three to remain free on their own personal promise to return to court.Assistant Attorney General Jesse Siegel states in court documents that in September of 2010 the Attorney General?s office received information that Harder and Rosati and their environmental remediation company, AEI Environmental, had been storing bags of asbestos waste for several months at Simply Self Storage, located at 102 Broadway in Lynnfield.The Attorney General?s Environment Crises Strike Force began an investigation obtaining search warrants for the storage units rented by Harder, Rosati, WEI and Jennifer Testa, (Harder?s daughter, who authorities believed may have rented a storage unit).The search revealed hundreds of bags of debris, which tested positive for asbestos, in units 399 & 508 at the storage facility.A further investigation revealed that Harder, Rosati and AEI had stored the bags of illegal asbestos waste for nearly five months since May 2010 and many of the bags were torn open.Asbestos is a hazardous waste and the fiber is a known carcinogen that is dangerous if inhaled, endangering anyone who opened the storage units or walked near them.As the investigation continued, authorities learned that they used improper asbestos abatement procedures at locations in Marblehead, Beverly and Lynn and removed asbestos without following safety procedures at the Lynn Woods School, the Lynn Public Library, Thurgood Marshall Middle School in Lynn, the Lynn Fire Station, Tedesco Country Club in Marblehead, The Village School in Marblehead, the Mayflower Hotel in Beverly and a shelter for women and children in Lynn.
