An asbestos abatement permit has been issued for Churchill Downs Homestretch Club to remove about 1,800 sq ft of floor tile and mastic in the walkway and tote room at 700 Central Ave. Owner Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government hired Sunesis Environmental LLC for wet-method removal scheduled from July 13 to December 25, 2026, with roughly 42 cubic yards of waste headed to Valley View Landfill and Republic Services listed as the hauler.
Bob Hook Chevrolet, Inc. is seeking an amendment to its industrial operating permit for the auto body shop at 4144 Bardstown Rd, with Robert L. Hook listed as the responsible official. The application (received 6/23/2026) flags emissions for volatile organic compounds and hazardous air pollutants — VOCs around 45.3 and total HAPs about 35.66 — so it appears to be an update focused on paint/repair emissions controls rather than a big change to the business.
