The Class of 2020 Intermountain Ski Hall of Fame welcomes inductees Randy Montgomery, Howard Peterson and Larry Warren. These inductees have numerous qualities worthy of the recognition, but there is a common thread that is paramount: an undeniable zeal to advance winter sports in the region to a higher level. While the COVID-19 pandemic has caused the postponement of the Sept. 24 induction dinner and awards ceremony that was scheduled at the Alf Engen Ski Museum, plaques highlighting the accomplishments and photos of the trio will be installed in the museum’s ties. In 1999, at the time of his death due to a motorcycle accident, Montgomery was working for the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and was executive director of the Alf Engen Ski Museum Foundation. • Howard Peterson: He was an outspoken promoter of winter sports for Utah. And very effective. As a visionary leader of the U.S. Ski Association, he moved the organization to Utah in 1988 so athletes could be close to training and competition venues. He encouraged the U.S. Olympic Committee to consider a bid city that would commit to building and sustaining legacy after the Games, which led to Salt Lake City’s selection as the U.S. bid city in 1989. Later, his role in developing and managing the venue as a training and recreational site led to his developing a sustainable business model and forming the Soldier Hollow Foundation. He also developed the Soldier Hollow Charter School and led a fundraising effort that raised $1 million for a day lodge at the site. Peterson died in May. • Larry Warren: His contributions to winter sports are primarily in the form of words founded in a multi-faceted 45-year career as a journalist, including 27 years at KUTV-2 in Salt Lake City and later as manager of Park City’s KPCW radio station. Warren’s words also appeared in freelance magazine articles and books he wrote relating to various ski history topics. In addition, his voice intoned numerous film and video productions and he was a lecturer, columnist and polished master of ceremonies at numerous functions, including the Ski Affair fundraiser for the University of Utah Marriott Library. His stories have appeared on The Today Show, NBC Nightly News, CBS This Morning, CNN and The Weather Channel. Warren received the 1995 Excellence in Ski Journalism Award from Ski Utah. EPA settles lawsuit over spill BRADY MCCOMB Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — The U.S. government settled a lawsuit Wednesday brought by the state of Utah over a mine waste spill caused by federal workers that sent wastewater downstream to several states from the inactive Gold King Mine in southwestern Colorado five years ago. The Environmental Protection Agency agreed to fund $3 million in Utah clean water projects and give another $360 million to the state for remediation projects at abandoned mine sites, the federal agency said Wednesday in a joint news release with the Utah attorney general’s office. Utah’s lawsuit was one of several legal claims filed over the incident, but no other settlements have been reached, the EPA said Wednesday. The Navajo Nation filed a claim for $162 million, and the state of New Mexico for $130 million. EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler called the agreement with Utah a “win-win” for both sides in a statement. “It will bring environmental benefits to Utah, avoid protracted litigation, and hopefully serve as a lesson for the future to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past,” Wheeler said. Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, a Republican, said he was happy to avoid more legal battles and get funds to help with state projects and touted the agreement as an example of state and federal partnership. The spill released 3 million gallons (11 million liters) of wastewater from the inactive Gold King Mine to pollute rivers in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, including on Navajo Nation lands. Some waterways turned an orange-yellow color. An EPA-led contractor crew inadvertently triggered the spill. The crew was using heavy equipment to excavate the mine opening in preparation for a possible cleanup when a worker breached a debris pile that was holding back wastewater in the shaft. The water flowed into Cement Creek and then the Animas River in Colorado. The Animas joins the San Juan River in New Mexico before the San Juan crosses into Utah. The EPA estimates that nearly 540 U.S. tons (490 metric tons) of metals reached the Animas, mostly iron and aluminum. After the spill, the EPA designated the Gold King and 47 other mining sites in the area a Superfund district. It is reviewing options for a broad cleanup. Utah sought $1.9 billion its lawsuit, a figure that was based on worst-case scenario of potential sediment contamination in the San Juan River and Lake Powell, Utah attorney general’s office spokesman Richard Piatt said in a news release. He said determining and proving the monetary damages would have been difficult because it would have been hard to pinpoint which sediment came from the Gold King Mine and which was already there.
