Comment being sought on groundwater cleanup plans
June 29, 2003

The Air Force is accepting comments from the public on a plan to clean
up contaminated groundwater near Hill Air Force Base in Layton and on
the southeast side of the base beneath an industrial complex.

The comment period, which runs through July 22, allows the public to
provide input on the alternatives chosen by the Air Force.

"We are genuinely interested in what the public has to say about this
proposal," said Steve Hicken, Hill's restoration program manager.

"This is a great opportunity for people to have input on what the Air
Force is doing to clean up contamination and we hope they'll take
advantage of it."

Copies of the plan are available at the Layton City offices, the Hill
AFB E-Repository at the Stewart Library on the campus of Weber State
University or by visiting http://www.em.hill. af.mil/restoration/ou8pro
posedplan.

In addition, a forum to discuss the proposal with the public is
scheduled for July 10 at Northridge High School in Layton from 5 to 8
p.m.

Hill environmental experts and representatives of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the Utah Department of Environmental Quality will
be available to answer questions.
