Show 28 The Salt Lake Tribune Monday June 27 1988 Experts Say Odds Are Against Merger of UP t L and PacifiCorp: o Continued From "Everyone expected the jilklge to criticism and some possible conditions that could be placed on the merger to ease concerns of competitors and others" Mr Ward said "The judge failed to do that His decision is a regurgitation of what CREDA filed" CREDA contended the merger would give PacifiCorp a stranglehold on a vital north-souttransmission system that would squash competi- B-- 1 held in six states Three states have approved the merger and approval is expected from the remaining states The most important regulatory hurdle however has always been FERC offer some constructive which regulates interstate transactions among utilities FERC unlike state regulators deals with the knotty issues of competition and transmission "1 think a lot of people noticed from the very start that the FERC would be a key forum simply because the most contentious issues fell under the FERCs jurisdiction" Mr Ward said h tors But members of the FERC's staff also contended the merger would inhibit competition and increase eco nomic concentration because of its control of a key transmission pathway to the lucrative Southwest power market The FERC staff recom- mended various conditions be imposed on the merged company in exchange for approving the merger In addition Idaho Power Co and Montana Power Co raised similar concerns before obtaining concessions from LIP&I and PacifiCorp and withdrawing from the hearings "The issues of competition and market dominance are the main stumbling blocks" Mr Kellenyi said "I consider the argument by the administrative law judge to be interesting but not compelling" said Gregory Enholm an analyst for Salomon Brothers Inc "He raises some valid points but I think most investors believe they are not enough to overturn the general logic of the merger The big issue they FERC have to look at is competition and

have a hard time convincing them to stay on the job more than a few days let alone a few hours They often tell me they couldn't do what I do for any amount of money After just one day on the water they want out" Indeed it isn't difficult to figure out why nobody is standing in line to take Bill's job His boats have sunk 25 times in bad weather and he's had to pull them to shore by hand his lips and skin are permanently chapped from blistering heat and winters and like farming there is no guarantee on how big his crop will be each year He manages to keep fish on his own table by driving to Idaho each spring and fall to catch carp and in winter months pays his bills by driving onto the Utah Lake ice cutting a hole and dropping his net inside "I just have to make sure I keep moving" he says "or my ears will get frostbit I've seen it happen to lots of guys The next day they don't show up to help Winter or summer unless it's in your blood it can be a tough life" After 12 hours on the lake Bill likes nothing more than to go home and make his famous carp meat loaf — a specialty that he swears tastes just like beef Another fish story? Perhaps But as Bill Loy has always believed "It isn't the size of the fish that counts but the size of the fisherman's ego" State Forecast -- moist southerly flow will gradually dry out from the west

shredders that go around the country setting up in locations for as long as it takes" Rubber tires are a singular problem for landfills as they have a tendency to rise through the ground once they

surely in the county's future but that there is capacity at the current landfill to handle the valley's trash for "about 12 to 20 years" "My concern at this hour is to tie up a site for a burn plant" He said the Vitro tailings site in South Salt Lake would make the best site and is already designated as the official choice Officials need to be sure that the site remains available and is still the best site said Commissioner Stewart Sandy Mayor Steve Newton wondered if the landfill shouldn't start charging an extra dollar or two per ton to build a fund for the burn plant but Commissioner Stewart said that is probably several years down the line "The landfill already has been escrowing an equipment fund and has a fund of $1 million to $3 million to study a burn plant Right now we just don't have the need for a burn plant surcharge because we have that 12- - to capacity My guess is that after a years the landfill council will say it's time to start escrowing money for a burn plant" When the county signed its contract to operate the landfill at 6030 W 1300 South the cost of a burn plant was estimated to be $15 to $21 per ton compared with landfill costs of $5 per ton The landfill fee has since gone to $6 and $7 per ton and eventually the cost savings and capacity will be consumed he said "The issue is not that we have exhausted the landfill but for Salt Lake County to monitor
