I was doing demolition on a building I am remodeling. We had the building inspected and parts tested for asbestos by an environmental testing company. We were carefull to not disturb any thing that was "suspected" to contain asbestos.
At the end of the demo we were visited by a department of Health and human services agent claiming that some one anonomusly reported that they thought we had been throwing away asbestos material. She demanded that we have the refuse tested adn the site abated by a state licenced qualified provider. I called and hired the same guy who did our pre inspection because we had a working relationship already.
Through conversations with the agent, other abatement service providers, the owner of the building, it has come to light that the company i hired to do the testing turned me in to the state agency and was the "tipster". I have delayed paying the bill which is really expensive, due to what I have found out. What do you think I should do?
