Conservation Committee last Friday all but burned Davis Countys plans for a proposed resource recovery plant in Clearfield. The committee, by a unanimous vote, rejected the county officials request to forego a multimillion dollar acid gas scrubber for the plant. Arguing that the scrubber does not fall under the best available control technology ordinance of the state statute, county officials said requiring it as part of the project would raise tipping fees and make the project politically impossible. Your vote will kill the project, said County Environmental Health director Richard Harvey. We cannot sell the project at $14 a ton from a holistic viewpoint. For hecks sake let us handle the problem. The acid gas scrubber which removes gas from the exhaust emitted by a plant and turns it into solid waste would cost approximately $2 million to $3.5 million overall, said David Kop-tpublic health engineer. Counofficials ty argued the scrubber is unproven, not technologically guaranteed by manufacturers and emissions from the plant would not violate state air standards. Wasatch Front Regional Director Will Jeffries said the scrubber is in use on only one plant inthe United States. Utah Public Health Engineer David Kopta said the technology of the scrubbers has been proven by plants in Japan and states currently requiring the unit include New Jersey, Massachusetts and California.

The shorter day was instituted on a trial basis in response to teachers appeals to the school board, asking for 40 fewer min? utes in the day for first grade students. The reason given for the short day is that have a difficult time continuing to learn throughput the longer day due to a more limited attention span.

The decision regarding the short day is left to the principals of each school. Board President Sheryl Allen said she wanted to wait to do an evaluation of the program until the students who were in the shortened day program last year have completed second grade. Ms. Allen said it would then be easier to assess the value of the program once the students have taken some of the national tests. But parents at the meeting complained of safety hazards created by the shorter day' They said letting their children out of school early forced the child to either walk home unattended or required parents to make a spe cial trip to drive the children home. Speaking for the shorter day, Terri Jewell and Betty Cassell, first grade teachers in the district, said the shorter day was important to the childs attitude of education. First grade is a big adjustment, said Ms. If a child doesn't adjust in first grade, he may not adjust at Cas-sall- s. all. Asking that the school board allow the first grade teachers to have a short day for at least half of the school year, Ms. Jewell said that first grade is the starting point of good study habits. She said the child should not become bored or disinterested in school. There is no real learning taking place in the expanded time, she said. . Board Member Bruce Parry said he sees the safety of the child as the overriding factor, and unless he received information which showed education was harmed by staying in school the extra 40 minutes, then he would vote for a full day. Board Member Dee Forbes also said he was concerned over the students safety. He said he wanted to know more about how cities have prepared to meet the safety questions. Ms. Allen said she would begin a survey of the program with the help of the Davis County PTA. But she said changing the program in the middle of the school year would be difficult and unfair to the first grade teachers.

The Clearfield City Planning Commission granted a condi-tionuse permit to Incinco Systems Inc. in June, for a $54 million plant on a site at 1550 E. 700 S. The Clearfield City Council later upheld the permit but set a condition that current monthly fees to county residents would have to remain the same. With the added cost of the scrubber, county officials feel they could not keep the fees within the guidelines. Representing a citizens opposition group which has opposed the plant were Clearfield residents Jim Hurst and Kenneth Reed. Hurst told the committee that upcoming technology would make the plant obsolete and it could not meet EPA standards. With the technology coming in garbage burning, thats going to be a big white elephant sitting up there in 20 years, Hurst said. We knew right from the beginning the plant could not meet EPA standards. Its now getting stopped as it should be. the budget was settled and why the increase was needed at this time.
