Harmer also handed the city a petition signed by about 70 of the neighbors to the park, all who would like to see the park completed.

Doug Thayer, an attorney representing Mapleton, said city leaders are concerned about air quality tests in the fall that found traces of TNT and other chemicals used in explosives manufacturing. Thayer wrote a letter to the Department of Environmental Quality asking that the state suspend burning operations at the nearby Ensign-Bickford explosives company. The company is conducting the burning as it prepares to shut down its plant permanently. perma-nently.

In 2003, however, howev-er, the city sought a $100 mil--lion lawsuit to nullify the 1997 settlement because officials say the company did not disclose dis-close possible future problems due to polluted land. The Division of Environmental Environ-mental Quality will follow up on the concerns Thayer raised in a letter the agency received Friday. "We just need more information infor-mation to determine what, if any, risks are being posed," said Dianne Nielson, executive execu-tive director of the DEQ.

Although Al-though some particles may escape es-cape during the treatment process, Black said, burning is the best way to get rid of harmful chemicals. Mapleton Mayor Dean Allan Al-lan said his main concern is making sure residents are protected.
