Show WEEKLY NEWS JOURNAL, NORTH DAVIS LEADER, FEBRUARY 11, 1982 REFLEX-DA- VIS the deficiencies that need to be corrected. The billing for the over use of municipal treated water for 1981 was discussed. The city has been contracting 130 acre feet from Weber Basin Conservancy District for the amount of $7,234.79. There was 8.43 acre feet used over the contracted amount resulting in a cost of $1,035.20 to the city. By NORMA PREECE Mayor Dean Brand and By GARY R, BLODGETT FARMINGTON Alternative methods for disposal of Davis Countys solid waste will be studied by a committee of the Solid Waste Management Project Board. three-memb- t, VICE Chairman Robert mayor of North Salt Lake, suggested the committee of the regular board meeting last Tuesday in Commission Chambers of the Davis County Courthouse. On a motion by Mayor Palmquist, Bountiful Mayor Dean S. Stahle was named BOARD 1 Palm-quis- committee chairman. Other committee members are Farmington Mayor Merrill Petty and Clinton City Manager Damon Edwards. MAYOR PALMQUIST said there are several new elected officials and members appointed to the board who should be made familiar with all the alternatives for solid waste disposal. Weve looked at some methods of disposal but there are still alternatives we have not considered, said Mayor Palmquist. I think a committee to familiarize the board with other alternatives would be a good thing." BOARD CHAIRMAN Lewis Shields, mayor of Layton, agreed. This matter of chosing a waste disposal plant or site is very important to every resident of Davis County and should not be taken lightly, he said. No rock should be left unturned. MAYOR SHIELDS showed a brochure to the board from a company veiling to build a disposal plant for solid waste. He said the plant unlike the solid waste disposal plant being considered for construction near Hill AFB will not burn disposed garbage. Instead, Mayor Shields explained, the plant will grind the debris into a fine mesh which will be used for sale as fertilizer. With no burning, there can be no pollution, Mayor Shields emphasized. -- , Our office is already legally overloaded and we cant continue to allow agencies to step in and use these services, the com missioner said. I know its the responsibility of the county attorneys office to protect the interests of the county, but don t know to what extent we can continue to do this. I want to have more information." HE SAID the plant would be privately constructed and operated. According to plant managers of similar facilities it can be built and operated at a cost of $6 to $8 million compared to $64 million for a resource recovery plant proposed near Hill AFB The Waste Management Project Board also approved a New York based consulting firm to act as bond counsel for the board, but postponed action that would have the Davis County Attorneys Office serve as legal counsel for the board. -- ACTION ON the latter was postponed only because details of the proposed agreement had not yet been worked out. Wilbur Jefferies, executive director of Wasatch Front Regional Council, the coordinating agency for the board, said there are many unique aspects to the resource recovery program for which local counsel is needed. COUNTY COM. Ernest Eberhard Jr. expressed concern that the county attorneys office is being asked to carry out another assignment. IN A PRESENTATION to the board!, Gerard (Jerry) Giordano, representing a d New Y consulting firm, said all o f the details dealing with the sale of $64 million worth of industrial revenue bonds would be handled by his firm. We have several years of expertise in this field, he told the board. Sale of bonds is a highly technical field and is especially difficult in this economy because of lace of available funds. ork-base- councilmen of Fruit Heights city discussed the appointment of a city administrator during their regular council meeting Tuesday evening. Applications have been received and interviews held. References of selected applicants have been written but no decision has been made. RICH HARVEY, director of environmental health for Davis County, then led a discussion with the board regarding the amount of garbage needed to pay the operating costs of a resource recovery plant such as the one proposed in north Davis County. He said the proposed plant would be designed for about 400 tons per day , but could efficiently operate at 500 tons per day. THIS WOULD require two boilers operating at a peak of 250 tons per day each or a total of 500 tons per day. However, the plant could be designed to add a third boiler, providing a total capacity of 750 tons per day. He told the board that it should be established how much garbage each community or the county as a whole could produce during the year. THIS WILL be necessary to determine the tipping charge (disposal cost) that each community should be required to pay so that the plant can operate on a profit basis, said Mr. Harvey. It might even be necessary for the cities to shuffle their quotas as necessary to meet the countywide quota. However, the shifting of quotas met with some opposition by the board. COM. EBERHARD suggested that the tipping fee be based on population with each community paying its share. It was noted that about 350 tons per day average pass through the countys two disposal sites (BARD and NARD) but his should be increased to at least 400 tons per day by 1985 when the proposed resource recovery plant becomes operational. ALSO, NOT all of the refuse dumped at the disposal sites now will be hauled to the resource recovery plant. The proposed plant would receive and treat only those materials that are combustable. Mr. Jefferies emphasized there are a lot of unanswered questions and new ideas are being tossed out and alternatives being discussed so that the board can get on the right THE COUNCIL requested Duane Jensen to compute the fair share bill to Knudson Construction Co. for the water used on their project on 1800 East. He is to review the feasibility of contracting more water from the Conservancy District. Mayor Brand reported that he would contact Lynn H. Benson to act as chairman for THE COUNCIL discussed the vent pipe over the Weber Basin Aqueduct on 1800 East and the existing problems. The council moved that a letter should be drafted by Duane Jensen, city engineer, and Ray W. Phillips, city building inspector, to the developer of East Oaks C subdividison with Vaughn Fowler stating the Fruit Heights summer party to be held at Cherry Hill camp ground Aug. 4, and the City Recorder was authorized to contact Grant Lloyd for reservations. THE COUNCIL authorized Duane Jensen to attend the Utah Rural Water Association meeting Feb. 12 as representative of Fruit Heights. Councilman David Packer gave a report on information from the meeting of the proposed resource recovery project in the county on site proposal for the solid waste and other items relating to the energy and the drawing up of the documents, etc. of garbage per year that is handled by Fruit Heights city by Robinson Refuse Co. Belva Provost, city recorder, was asked to obtain an estimate for Councilman Packer. Fruit Heights city had received a yearly tally report for 1981 from the Davis County Sheriffs office and this report was discussed by the council. MAI OR BRAND requested that Belva Brovost inform the residents of Fruit Heights of the report through the city monthly letter 'The Ridge Runner " THE COUNCIL discussed these issues.

Therefore, it is better to have excess waste in storage than to place the plant in a position of having to seek garbage outside of the county. He emphasized that cities and entities (improvement districts) within the county would be preferred customers and that the tipping fees would be compatable to other neighboring counties. e, Letter To Editor Article Beautiful 1 1 pc.
