HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah — Hill Air Force Base officials hope to spend $21.4 million on an environmental restoration project during the new fiscal year that starts in July.

The base is working to clear up groundwater plumes contaminated with potential carcinogens that have been seeping from the base into seven nearby communities: Layton, South Weber, Riverdale, Roy, Sunset, Clinton and Clearfield.

The base has been on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s list of Superfund cleanup sites since 1987 and restoration efforts have been under way since 1990.

Environmental engineers are working to meet a goal to have remedies for all contaminated sites in place by 2012, said Steve Hicken, the base’s remedial program manager.

Officials are working on designs and studies to eliminate contaminants from the ground, including groundwater-extraction wells and contaminated-soil removal.
