Show UT.V.i r.c. -- AS.O TATS FRSS3 D3A 1327 4110 UTAH Utah Copper Division of Kennecott Copper Corporation today announced that it has requested an additional six months from July 31, 1977 to January 31, 1978 to complete its smelter air pollution control project, and to comply with state air quality regulations and federal ambient air quality standards. An accumulation of adverse factors, including delays in material and equipment deliveries and engineering design changes has resulted in inability to meet the present compliance schedule. Construction on the $280 million project will continue with various aspects of the project phased in and tested as they are completed. Factors contributing to the delay were: failure of some manufacturers to meet promised delivery schedules, supplier strikes, severe weather conditions in the East, and Kennecotts policy to purchase as much as possible from local fabricators. These problems have combined to suppliers which interfere with effective manpower scheduling which in turn has prolonged construction. Shortages of skilled craftsmen in certain areas, and many cases of necessary field correction caused by receipt of faulty materials from suppliers have further delayed the project. As the construction time frame slipped, efforts were made to adjust activities to shorten completion time. According to C. A. Zeldin, special project manager, The sequence of construction was altered, priorities were revised and later was shifted to more critical areas. Despite these measures, it is now apparent that construction of the project cannot be completed in time to meet the July compliance date this year. Kennecott has informed the Utah Air Conservation Committee and the Environmental Protection Agency of its need for the extension of time. On the basis of its revised timetable, completion of all phases of construction is of estimated for November 30, followed by some two months for final break-ithe of and by company. personnel training equipment Commenting on the time frame Zeldin said, A project of this size and scope involves the coordination of construction, testing, trial operation, debugging and integrating continuous operation of many diverse processing elements which include: smelting facilities, gas heat removal facilities, dust cleaning facilities, new acid plant, modified existing acid plants, fugitive gas collection system, slag processing facilities, and dilute gas disposal system. The emission control project will continue to develop with various elements being tested and becoming operational throughout the summer and fall as the project comes together and is completed.
