Show t r rv ? pr tor lift The Salt Lake Tribune, Friday. January v r rr State officials and representatives of an Oklahoma company have reached an agreement to close a pond at Little Mountain used for dumping sulfuric acid during manufacture of steel towers. Riverside Industries of Tulsa, which closed its Little Mountain plant 18 months ago, agreed this week to cover soil at the pond with another layer of soil. Pete Stewart, an environmental scientist with the State Bureau of Solid and Hazardous Waste's enforcement and compliance section, said the landfill will create an earth cap and prevent acid from leaching into subsurface water, which drains into the Great Salt Lake. The company also will be required to monitor ground water four times a year for the next 30 years. Stewart said Riverside board of our state hazardous-wast- e laws, Anderson said. He said the state issued a notice of violation and an order to bring the waste-acipond into compliance, but Riverside officials opted to shut was carried out. An Oct. 1, 1985, deadline to close the pond was not met, he said, and bureau officials pressed Riverside to remedy the problem. Stewart said the agreement d down. State environmental officials then ordered Riverside to draft a plan to close the pond and pay $10,u00 to a e state hazardous materials fund in lieu of a civil penalty. A plan by Riverside officials to haul the contaminated soil to an acceptable lauJ.'ill and dig wells to monitor the pond site was accepted by the state. Stewart said Riverside set aside $100,000 to close the pond, but the hauling scheme proved more costly than expected and the work never worked out Wednesday is not a compromise. Its just another option" that would allow Riverside to solve its problem within the $100,000 budget, he said. Thomas Anderson, contacted "investiga-tions-and-respons- Chairman Thomas Anderson will give the state its plan to cover the site within a few weeks. He said work to close the pond should begin this spring. Riverside, which has been a leadof power ing U.S. manufacturer transmission towers, has closed plants in Ogden and Tulsa over the past two years in the face of a dwindling domestic demand for the steel Thursday in Tulsa, said he questions the need to close the pond. He said the soil in the Little Mountain area already is contaminated because of the mineral content. Its not fit to raise anything, he said. He also said the subsurface water is of such poor quality it can not be used for any practical purpose. But were working with the state and we plan to do the job, he said. - y ry tytrtvfi SATURDAY M w 'tr t t y f v'TT ' but Councilwoman Sydney Fonnev the beck advised the council to the be financed would which by trip, Redevelopment Agency.

The landfill permit was issued based on soil data from the canyon that indicates there would be potential for ground water contamination. According to the conditions of the permit, if the county detects ground water pollution from waste at the dump, it must develop corrective action," Mr. Downs said. That could include closing the dump, he said. The number of state and federal agencies are on record as opposing a Three Mile Canyon Dump because of its proximity to Rockport.
