Last. Sunday, residents of Woods Cross were surprised by a shower of oil and steam when a Phillips Petroleum tank erupted. Phillips received calls from neighbors saying their flowers and cars were spotted with the oilwater mixture. The tank ruptured when water enoil. tered a tank mixing with Crews were busy cleaning the oil Monday, and Phillips manager, xMiles Lacey, asked residents to call the company at 393 South 800 West if they had 250-degr- a problem. Other inconveniences to citizens in the last year and the growing number of residents living near the refinery prompted city officials to do something to prevent hardship on both sides. Tony Cirelli, Davis County planner, was retained by the city planning and zoning committee to come up with a At Problems Residents asked that Phillips be prevented from expanding last year when two ground water storage tanks were built on the west side of Denver and Rio Grande Railroad tracks near Fack-resubdivision. Phillips purchased the piece of land in the late 1970s, at a time when new subdivisions were being developed in West Bountiful. A target date, July 10, has been set by the city for some kind of plan or Those areas would have limited manu- facturing processes, and more office buildings.

Sewer Districts Fight Standards CHERYL ARCHIBALD Council, asked South Davis Sewer Improvement District last week to choose someone so the county could get started. Its something that has to happen Review Staff WEST BOUNTIFUL Davis Davis County sewer districts are prepared to challenge Utahs new, tough standards for water pollution control. The districts have set up an executive committee to approach the Utah Pollution Board about lowering stringent standards for sewage disposal plants. State standards for 1985 will be tougher than those of the Environmental Protection Agency. County environmental health officials and sewer boards have long disagreed with the state. To reach state requirements for 1985, the level of bacteria in treated sewage released by plants can be no higher than 10 parts per million. Solids can reach no higher than 15 parts per million or 1015. The EPA sets 2525 as the standard for 1985. i . To give clout to their view that the states goals are unreasonable, the North and South Davis Sewer Districts and possibly the central plant have been asked to send three representatives to a special executive committee. Managers and engineers of the districts will also be on the committee. Dr. Mike Miner, director of water quality at Weber; Basin Water Quality Management he said. quickly, Miner presented a strategy to the district that includes approaching the state with recom- on mendations based downstream uses and the amounts of effluent going into poly-seconda- ry that water source. He felt that if the three districts unite and present reasons for lowering the standard, the state pollution control board may lower the requirements. A resolution has been drawn up, he explained, but a committee could examine it and make changes to get one to present that everyone likes and agrees with. In 1978, the cost to upgrade sewers to meet specifications would have cost $9 million. Now that cost has jumped to over $30 million for the three plants to meet requirements. ; . poly-seconda- ry The data we have says its states standard) not cost effective, Miner said. He added that Richard Harvey, director of Davis County Environmental Health feels it is not necessary to meet health standards. Staff Photo by Robert Regan;- - (the -- KOOL-AID- ! WANNA BUY SOME?"

At a COG meeting, Stahle treated North Salt Lake Mayor Robert Palmquist, chairman of the Solid Waste Management Board, to a burn plant replica cake, complete with lit candles. Bountiful City Manager Tom Hardy presented the cake to Palmquist and lit the candles. However, when Palmquist tried to blow out the candles, he found that they kept relighting. They wont blow out, said a surprised and somewhat embarrassed Palmquist. Showing persistence that never dies, like the burn plant and it's supporters, according to Stahle, the candles finally had to be snuffed out with wet fingertips. The cake was designed by Bountiful City Attorney Lane Forbes, who drew the burn plant image for a local baker to copy. - Review Staff Second only BOUNTIFUL to the rising of the Great Salt Lake, the most pressing problem facing Davis County, according to County Commissioner Harold Tippetts, is the problem of what to do with the countys garbage. At a Davis County Council of Governments meeting last week, the problem was discussed, but no definite solutions were offered. The BARD (Bay Area Refuse District landfill), for all practical purposes, is an island," said North Salt Lake Mayor Robert Palmquist. The Great Salt Lake surrounds the landfill, and berms are holding back the water. As the lake rises, the water table rises, he said. He added that he has looked everywhere for another site in the county for a landfill or a burn plant, arid there is not a site in south Davis for a landfill. Salt Lake County has been contacted and it has 8 more years left before its landfill is at capac1 ity. They are not looking for more garbage, Palmquist said. Salt Lake is considering building a complex served with steam generated from a type of burn plant. If anyone has any ideas, said Wed be glad to Palmquist, hear them. As far as the burn plant goes, its dead and in the hole, but it has not been covered up yet. We may be able to rewaste-to-ener- vive it. In answer to a letter to COG from Neldon Hamblin, Clearfield mayor, Tippetts said that the waste management board should stay together. The council agreed, but will probably find new chairman, at Palmquists request. The letter had recommended disbanding the waste, management board. In another action, members of the council voted to go on record as recommending that the Utah Legislature and Gov. Scott Matheson implement a program to maintain a lake level that would not damage sewers and other structures in Davis Couna ty. A letter will be sent to the legislature stating that the county feels it is an extreme emergency." Copies of the letter will be sent to county legislators as well.
