Emery signs agreement on pollution bonds
Published on October 10, 2008 at 11:45AM
(CASTLEDALE) – A resolution has been approved by Emery County Commissioners in this week’s county commission meeting concerning the authorizing of a nearly $122-million revenue bond for pollution control at existing power plants in the county. County Commissioner, Gary Kofford, says the bond only affects plants currently operating in the county and has nothing to do with any proposal for the building of a nuclear power plant in the county in the future. Kofford says PacificCorp has control of the loan amount and needed the County to sign a release agreement because another company was assisting in the loan. He says the bonds have been in effect since 1994.
