City will dig into issues
I agree with Rich Wyman (“Don’t poison Park City,” May 5-7) that we shouldn’t poison Park City, but … isn’t the poison he’s worried about already in Park City? Hasn’t it been here for over 100 years? I also think it’s a shame that so much of our town is built upon mine tailings. And I’m glad I don’t live in Prospector and have to worry about what’s a few feet under my house.
But I don’t agree that we shouldn’t take what is still under the ground and move it out of town. Yes, the project will disturb the soil, but I trust that the city will take appropriate actions and precautions to mitigate the dangers the excavation and construction might cause. Yes, the soil is proposed to be taken to a landfill that is still on Park City property, but I also trust the city will bury it properly, on a piece of land that will not have people walking on it and breathing its dust.
