By GARY R. BLODGETT Clipper News Editor BOUNTIFUL - New methods of sealing and filling garbage landfills were discussed at a meeting of Bay Area Refuse Disposal (BARD) board of directors last Tuesday night. of THE REPORT was made by Elmer W, Barlow, manager landfill seminar on operations. BARD, after attending a He told board members that landfills throughout the country have been successful in sealing and filling landfills with bentemte, sealant. a clay and water substance, and a spray-foainstead of daily sealant a as HE SAID the spray is being used used at method a presently dirt with a fill, coverage of garbage . BARD. This spray hardens and provides a solid surface that is repellent to rodents and birds and is also oderless, said Mr. Barlow. The temporary cover currently costs about 72 cents per square IT WAS also suggested that a berm be constructed around the or at least where needed as a protection entire BARD site against underground seepage. -He said Dow Chemical Corporation will provide such a berm and feet 20 about deep called a slurry wall by digging a trench two feet wide. A wall (berm) would then be built in the trench. -- two-da- y m . - THIS METHOD can be installed in water, if necessary and is very effective, he said. BARD members agreed that a berm should be constructed around the landfill site or at least where needed to prevent underground seepage. It was also decided that a local engineer will be sought from among public bidding to do the study and prepare the specifications. COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL Health Director Richard Harvey said the berm must be completed before wells can be drilled for testing of underground water at the landfill. The county is anxious to get started with its water testing program, but we cant do anything until its determined where the berm will be located, said Mr. Harvey. We dont want our wells covered with berm fill. BOUNTIFUL CITY Manager Tom Hardy said the Emcom and Associates study should be followed which would include the berm and water testing. The study is a good one full of common sense and excellent suggestions, but it will take an engineer to draft up the plans of what has to be done, he told the board. Mr.Barlow said the berm, if done right, could cost in excess of $250,000. BUT THE board agreed that a berm is needed whether or not the landfill is used for a short term or over a long period of time. Without it (berm), the landfill probably would not meet national EPA and state health standards, they said. In other BARD meeting action, board members agreed that beginning this spring garbage must be delivered to the landfill at an earlier hour to allow for proper overnight coverage of debris and to be more certain no pit fires erupt after the last garbage is deposited at the landfill. A major fire erupted at the site a few months ago because smouldering debris was not covered. Layton Wants A Library, Depends On The Weather Commerce, owners of small DHS Sets Events 4. Price 451-240- Sealing Landfill TOM BUSSELBERG - FARMINGTON County Commission Chairman Glen Saunders wants to see Layton get a library. THE COUNTY library board has echoed those feelings for a long time, but now the Great Salt is continuing its attention-grabbinso who knows? I would like to work toward a proposal during the year that might be acceptable to Layton City officials, Mr. Saunders said, quickly adding, Conceivably levels could get a lot higher on the lake.

Since then, many discussions have taken place between county and city officials. County commissioners have stressed they support a library there but cant fork over massive amounts now due to a previousls slowed-doweconomy and other demands, such as for a new jail. In the meantime, Layton residents wanting access to county facilities can visit the north branch library in Clearfield, securing cards, with the city reimbursing the county $25 a family.

IN A split vote of the county council on aging board last week, the commodities program was dropped although Aging Director Alice Johnson emphasized another agency would assume distribution chores with the Layton Kiwanis Club already indicating interest. Although that group would only serve north county, she said no discussions had yet taken place with south county groups. In north county, distribution could take place at the Layton Senior Citizens Center in the old Verdcland Park School, for instance, she THE MOVE was blamed on so much bad publicity" by Board Chairman Robert Kay, although there were some, including board chairman Newell Parkin who argued, if we can manage it right, we should keep it." Under the program, initiated here about four years ago, senior citizens over age 60 able to show proof of residence and meeting federal low income guidelines could receive commodities. Those usually included a pound or more of cheese and often butter or honey. LATE LAST year, federal guidelines stipulated the food items should be available to low income but said no proof of income should be sought, leaving verification up to the individuals word, explained Bill Marion, Aging official overseeing nutrition. If only those within the income guidelines had come last time, we wouldve had enough," he said, referring to the last distribution that saw supplies depleted midway through the first day at Clearfields Heritage Center although Bountifuls Golden Years never ran out. That brought complaints from some seniors, for noting press accounts listing the a second day. Aging officials had previously stressed supplies would be available only until depletion, whenever that was, however. MR. KAY said he saw many he knew were but came for cheese ineligible, income-wisanyway. I saw one man in the cheese line who draws about $60,000 retirement a year. These people lie, but how do you separate the wheat from the chaff?" he asked. Complaints about the commodities program casts a shadow on the center (Aging program) as a whole--i- t covers up what our real services give-awa- y e, are," said Board Member Howard Stringham Eighty-fig- e percent of the people think its (center) only a distribution center." ITS OUR responsibility to deal with these senior citizens, Mr. Parkin said. If we could give this service, it doesnt bother me to eet criticism. Salt Lake County Aging Services dropped the program earlier, deferring distribution to the Community Action Program, Mrs. Johnson sauI, adding. Aging was losing its credibility. MR. MARION said possible distribution by the Employment and Training office in Farmington was under discussion. That agency already handles a general giveaway program regardless of age.
