Show Loyton saga continues Feds look for more contamination By JAMS CARTER Clipper Correspondent LAYTON-Since the discovery of highly toxic ammonium per-chlorate per-chlorate on the Allgood property in Layton, the site has been constantly invaded with personnel from the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Coast Guard and Riedel Environmental Services. The one-acre salvage yard has since been sectioned off into eight zones for inventory and further investigation in-vestigation on possible health and safety threats. Within the fenced boundaries there are two sheds, a small house with fire damage, construction debris, approximately 75 autos, paints, solvents, thinners, a multitude of densely packed salvage materials, as well as cylinders, drums, bottles and various containers of unknown materials. ma-terials. It will take approximately two weeks to complete the inventory and testing. After field testing is completed, the materials will be put into 55-gallon barrels, according to hazard. The materials will then be taken to disposal sites, said Allan Peek, Layton City Fire Chief. The EPA is in charge of the entire en-tire operation, with the coast guard on hand to see that no one gets hurt. The Riedel people are doing the actual ac-tual work. A decontamination trailer is on the site. After the inventory has been completed, it will be an unknown amount of time before the barrels are removed and then the case will go back to the city for the original cleanup. "You will probably see nothing different on the property for a year," Peek said, making a speculation.
