Show 2A Sleighs Need Lots of It Lakeside Review South, Wednesday, March 7, 1984 New Analysis Burn Plant Down But Not Out Yet RON KNOWLTON Review Start (Reporter Ron Knowlton gives this news analysis on how the rejection of the burn plant by Davis County cities will affect . the proposal.) Layton Citys rejection and the possible rejection of a waste to energy county-wid- e plant by Bountiful City may , deliver a severe blow to the project, but not a knock out punch. Without the participation of the two largest cities in the county, the plant may still be ; built. Wilbur Jeffries, Wasatch Front Regional Council Executive Director, said a downsized plant would be built if this occured. The plant, however, would be running at its capacity when it opened, Jeffries said. That would mean there would be no additional capacity in the plant for garbage from any other communities, Jeffries said. Id hate to be the only city , that walks out on a limb and is the only one not involved in the waste project," Jeffries said. But Layton and Bountiful ; City officials have not seen it that way. Officials in both cities have said they believe that with the present rapid advance in technology, something may come along soon more financially favorable to both communit- ies. Both have also cited the high costs of the project and the unavailability of information on the project as reasons why they have been hesitant to go with the project. Bountiful has given notice it plans to take over the BARD landfill, an attempt that may or may not be successful. At present the landfill is operated by a board of directors composed of the mayors of all south Davis cities and a county commissioner. All the communities in- volved signed an interlocal agreement in 1962. The agreement gives authority to the BARD board to make decisions on the operation of the landfill. Bountiful, however, owns the 108 acres where the landfill is situated in West Bountiful. There is a stipulation in the agreement that Bountiful CURT JACKSON of The BARD BOUNTIFUL .landfill board of directors has tabled a resolution that would ; have clarified BARDs authority in purchasing and leasing land, :as well as collecting and levying : ' taxes.

BARD Chairman Harry Ger- lach said it was felt an interlocal agreement signed by all participants in BARD needed clarification. He said BARD has had difficulties over 12 acres of land I which BARD leases annually. The BARD board has been J ; challenged on its authority to own and lease land. !

The garbage must be covered, however, with soil. By using stacking, the landfill could rise to a 40 foot height over the next 14 years if south Davis communities continued delivering their garbage to the landfill at the present rate. For Bountiful to take over the landfill, a legal battle is V Not Randy Randall. He likes the snow because it gives him the chance to get in some fun and enjoyment. Thats because Randall builds n sleighs - the e kind. And when he wants to add some spice to his life, he hitches a sleigh to a horse and takes his wife and children for the kind of a sleigh ride the Christmas song Jingle Bells is all about. Randall is a resident of Centerville who comes from a long line of Randalls that were some of the early settlers in the area. His occupation is city director. His interworks public est in sleighs stems from his pioneer heritage and his wanting to kinds e know more about of transportation. Building sleighs is one of the ways he uses his leisure time to further his interest in sleighs and learn more about their uses as means of transportation in the past.

LAMAR BOTT EDITOR ADVERTISING DIRECTOR horse-draw- day-to-d- ay If other cities in the south Davis area go with the burn plant, mayors on the BARD board may vote to turn over operation of the landfill to contractor for the bum plant. This would force Bountiful to take the matter to court for the city to obtain possession old-tim- grfSk s, of BARD. For Layton, the situation is different. The city does not plan to take over the NARD landfill, but the landfill seems the logical place for the city to continue dumping its waste. its The NARD landfill--i- n present operation--i- s projected to have a 35 year lifespan. It is unlikely that those involved with the burn plant could keep Bountiful, Layton and other cities not involved from dumping their waste at the landfills. But the other communities could set policies according to needs at the bum plant. To further complicate things, the plant site is in Clearfield. But the Clearfield City Council must still decide whether that city will go with the project. If Clearfield opts not to go with the proposal, the burn plant may be left without a plant site. That would mean proponents of the plant would either need to find another site for the plant, or the eventual demise of the project. And since the plant would produce steam that would be sold to Hill Air Force Base, a site would need to be found near the base. ar ed snow-movin- old-tim- snow-lade- Lakeside DReview Death of Hill Guard Ruled As Suicide HILL AIR FORCE BASE The death of a military security policeman who was found dead of a gunshot wound inside the locked North Gate last Thursday morning has been ruled a suicide by the State Medical Examiner.
