Name: Grassy Mountain Waste Dump
Category: Waste
Archive ID#: UT3149
 
Description: This 640 acre site for hazardous and toxic materials opened in 1982 and employs about 100 people. Laidlaw operated this facility until recently, and it served as a dump site for the toxic ash from Laidlaw's incinerator, 15 miles away at Clive. One of three waste sites Laidlaw acquired when it bought U.S. Pollution Control Inc. (USPCI), a Union Pacific corporation, in 1994. Grassy Mountain is now operated by the Safety-Kleen company, which has bought most of Laidlaws hazardous waste site in the west. Safety-Kleen operates more than 10 landfills and four chemical waste incinerators throughout the United States and Canada.
