Utah Landfill Fire Sparks Community Outcry | Salt Lake City News
Description
In Washington City, Utah, a private landfill fire has raged for over a year, spewing smoke, dust, and foul odors that are triggering headaches, nosebleeds, and heart palpitations for hundreds of residents. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality confirmed the fire and found the landfill operator, ONP L.L.C., failed to report it promptly — a major violation. The Division of Air Quality cited inadequate dust control, leading to a complaint demanding immediate extinguishment and daily fines up to $13,000 until cleanup. Over 300 locals have petitioned the city to declare the site a public nuisance and demand action — including air monitoring, emission controls, and full legal recourse. With new videos surfacing and no resolution in sight, residents are refusing to back down in their fight for clean air and a livable neighborhood.
