New Toxic Spill at the Junction?

Our sources have been repeateadly revealing the story that construction personnel very recently and inadvertantly unearthed and punctured an old undergound fuel tank (reports vary between 1500 and 5,000 gallons,) thereby leaking significant amounts of toxic contaminents into the soil, and that most of this tank's contents drained into the ground at the "Junction" site.

The consistent report is that the Ogden City Administration is keeping a lid on this news; and that State Environmental Quality Authorities have not been notified about this possible hazard.

Rudi has spent a fair amount of time in the past few days investigating this situation, to no avail. Usually reliable local sources have seemed frightened and tight-lipped, to say the least.

If any of our gentle readers have information about this little problem, we would all appreciate hearing about it here.

Chime in on this, if you like, gentle readers.

Your names will always remain anonymous.
