Volume EUREKA, UTAH - March 4, 1994 Eighty-Nin- e Price $.40 Number 9 .n A group of Nephi citizens, but expressed hope that he and who have not enjoyed many victories in their fight against plans for a waste-handlifacility on the citys north end, won one recently. Kristi Perisho-McKa- y and some residents won a small victory when a legislative committee convincingly rejected a resolution declaring the Legislature's support for EnviroChem Services proposed facility, whose permit application still is being processed. The decision came minutes after the committee passed a bill that, in general, said it is all right for lawmakers to endorse waste facilities before technical studies determine their feasibility and desirability. The committees actions do not damage EnviroChcms ultimate chances of receiving approval for a facility capable of handling 434,500 gallons of hazardous and such as non hazardous wastes paints, solvents, refinery residues, thinners and printing ink.

"Its unusual for a citizens group to experience a victory." After all, her group previously lost an effort to keep the Utah Board of Solid and Hazardous Waste from granting waivers to three siting requirements that EnviroChem needed to set up shop in Nephi. That setback has been appealed to the courts. Perisho-McKa- y also recognized the fight is not over, since the House Energy, Natural Resources and Agriculture did send the companion bill to the full House for consideration.

Pope said his company ahs been scrambling to accelerate the permit-approvprocess since it learned several weeks ago that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency - and consequently the state - consider the proposed plant a "treatment" rather than just a "storage" facility. That classification means the permit must be approved by the and Legislaturc-- in governor addition to the Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste. Consequently, the company could have to wait almost a year, until next legislative session, before lawmakers OK a division-approve- d permit. Rep. Bill Wright, stepped forward to help EnviroChem. He is introducing the measures that would allow the company to receive legislative approval before the division's technical evaluation is finished. al on te Tintic Elks elect officers Tintic Lodge B.P.O.E.
