Show t REFLE- X- DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, MARCH WEEKLY 2, 1S78 By ROSELYN KIRK Pressures from the Utah State Department of Health may force the solid waste district in South Davis County to come up with another solution to resolve the garbage disposal problems at the land fill operation. RICHARD Harvey, director of Davis County Environmental Health, said the county has received several letters from the Utah State Bureau of Solid Waste, a division of the State Board of Health, saying that the landfill is being operated contrary to state policy. The Bay Area Refuse (BARD) disposal site, located at 1200 West 700 North, fails to meet state specification since the ground water level in the area is too high. The site is located at the confluence of the A- Canal, Stone Creek and the Farmington Bird Refuge. The water table is very high. Dis-pot- -l CAROLYN ANDERSEN Mrs. Carolyn Andersen of 671 North Main Street, Kays-vill- e was recipient of the 1978 Davis County Farm Bureau 4 H leader award, for her outstanding leadership ability. THE presentation was made during the county's annual 4 H awards night in which she received the engraved plaque and was cited for her faithful and devoted leadership service the past 19 years. Mrs, Andersen has taught girls in the program in food preparation and preservation and also in safety courses, having had her first group five years, second group six years and the last group, the Sugar and Spice, Club for eight consecutive years, which could easily be a record for any leader. She took first place with her fruit entry at the Oregon State Fair. MRS. ANDERSEN is a stalwart and dedicated leader and those she has taught have felt her enthusiasm HER awards have been numerous over the years, some of which were the county outstanding girl award and received a trophy, next she was awarded the Union Pacific Scholarship given through the program and she used it in attending college at Utah State University at Logan where she received her B.S. degree. She once won the all expense paid trip to the national 4-- 4-- AH Congress Alumni AH award for Davis County. MRS. ANDERSEN served many years on the Davis County Fair Board over the food exhibits and has been a judge at the fair many times. FilOn RECENTLY A high compacting machine became , mired and buried at the according to Mr. Harvey. It took four caterpillar tractors and a steam shovel to pull the equipment out of the loci-tion- mud. There are several alterna tives to solving the landf.li operation dilemma, Mr. Harvey said, but all of them cost money. One would be to transfer the refuse disposal station to the north. The North Area Refuse Disposal (NARD) is located in East Layton on Highway 193, just east of Hill Field. That area is dry, in addition to including acres. The land area, larger than the BARD, which includes between 50 to 60 acres. MR. HARVEY said there is not only a lot of space, but the soils are excellent, resulting in the NARD being a show place for the state. The big problem in moving the garbage site to the north would be the hauling costs of transporting the garbage. transformed into usable products. THE RESOURCE recovery system has been rejected because it is too expensive, Mr. Harvey said. In addition, it is questionable whether there is enough garbage in both Salt Lake and Davis Counties to make the recourse recovery system advisable. According to Mr. Harvey, the state could eventually close the BARD site down because there has been heavy emphasis federally on solid waste disposal practices. But Mr. Harvey sees no immediate problems. During the Water Quality Study, an 208 ex- tensive survey around the perimeter of the BARD area didnt reveal anything alarming. THERE IS no way that the disposal isnt affecting the ground water in the area. "But Im not sure what the deep strata water in the area will be used for. the south which controls BARD. The boards are made up of representatives from the cities. Each board functions as a taxing district. The county is the organizing force behind the board and originally set up the solid waste disposal districts. Each city joined with the county in the project. Prior to the formation of the districts, cities in the county maintained individual city dumps. Residents in Davis County are assessed fur disposal and are given a BARD or NARD card, which allows them to use the county dump. MR. HARVEY says the present dilemma boils down to the fact that money is necessary for a study of the problem. We need to look at staying where we are in the light of state and federal regulations or deciding on a place to move. Its not an overnight process to move. We need to start looking now for another site because theres sure to be a crunch down the road.

Every day we hear how costs for fuel oil. coal, gasoline, electricity and other energy sources are climbing. Natural gas costs are increasing too. In a recent column, Sidney Margolius, a nationally syndicated writer and a member of the Presidents Consumer Advisory Council wrote: Many U.S. families will find themselves scrambling to meet fuel bills of S50 a week less in w armer regions, more this winter in the coldest areas. Topically, fuel bills for the heating season will total S800 to SI, 000.

HARVEY said the landfill operation is handled by excavating trenches, dumping the solid waste into the ground and then burying it in a land fill operation. According to Mr. Harvey, the method for disposing of the garbage is good, but the problem is the high water table in the area. The process could eventually be hazardous to the water table, Mr. Harvey said It takes from 30 to 40 years fir the solid waste to decompose This could contaminate the And while natural gas supplies are dwindling nationwide, we should have sufficient reserves to serve all our customers throughout the winter, due to our extensive underground storage program. Like Jim Tanner, all of our employees at Mountain Fuel are doing everything they can to continue providing you with natural gas at rates among the lowest in the nation. You see. they pay the same for natural gas as you do. You can help too. By conserving, you can minimize your own fuel bill and help stretch our existing supplies while new ones are located. We must have new sources of natural gas if we are to continue enjoying the benefits of this clean, efficient natural resource at a reasonable cost. MOUNTAIN FUEL People Serving People |
