The property is west of the freeway and is near the citys boundary line with West Bountiful. The property is zoned for industrial development. Arnell Heaps, one of the owners of the property, wrote a letter to the council on Dec. 27 asking that the land be deanncxcd. In the letter he suggested the property ought to be annexed to West Bountiful. Mayor Neil Blackburn noted that Heaps had asked the property be zoned for a mobile home park at one time, which was turned down.

Councilman Dean Hill said has the., option to wait five or ten years for an alternative to the landfill to come along.

However, Tom Hardy, Bountiful City manager, said he be- - lieves the leak comes from a Texaco gas station at 412 N. 500 W. The gas leak was first discovered Friday evening by employees at the Max (formerly the Fifth Amendment), a private club at 980 N. 500 W. Roy Stanley, kitchen manager at the club, said the smell came from a sewer pipe behind a refrigerator at the club. The smell got stronger Saturday evening. Sunday the club was closed while Mountain Fuel Supply Company and Bountiful City officials attempted to locate the problem. Several residents who live near 500 West also called the city to complain about the smell, Hardy said. Several homes were temporarily evacuated and the gas shut off by Mountain Fuel. .

MOVING BARRELS of Hardy said the city at first believed any one of four gas stations on the corner of 500 West 400 North was the source of the problem. But everything weve done so far indicates its the Texaco (station). Hardy said the city has checked other stations and sewage from other sewer lines. The Texaco station, however, is believed to be the source of the problem because the station is the first customer on a 500 West sewage line where the gasoline leak was detected. Hardy said. - Lynn Harmon, the station's owner, said his gasoline tanks, show no sign of leakage. Harmon said he has checked them repeatedly. The station has been closed since Monday morning. Harmon, who has owned the station for the past four years, said if the source of the leak is the stations gas tanks, the station could be faced with a costly repair bill. The problem could even force him out of business, he admitted. Review Staff , Harmon said a friend who owns a station in West Valley City was required to shut down the station for several weeks while the stations tanks were relined. The cost of the repair was nearly $20,000, Harmon said. It broke him and he had to sublease the station, Harmon said. The source of the gas leak was later discovered to be a vacant gas station one mile away. Harmon said its costing him nearly $200 per day for the station to remain closed. But we certainly dont want anybody to get hurt, Harmon added. Hardy ment, Rodney Page has excellent experience as a trial His career lawyer.
