Hazard in Utah County

When chemical companies try to avoid the law, it hurts you and your family.

Thank you, EPA, for catching this one.

There is so many faults that EPA does not care about the health of the men that work in these places, which they help to destroy the materials that will harm all our citizens. What goes out of those plants goes to your homes and to your children, so the mens health needs to be monitored better, otherwise people will have all this mess in their back yards. We need these plants and better working conditions as well as better monitoring of the people they hire! Wake up EPA!

Is this the same Parish chemical that had a building explode during the 80's by Geneva Steel?

Sorry dude, I can not understand what you are trying to say. Please re-write your comments so as they are understandable. Thank you.

OSHA is responsible for worker health and safety. The EPA is responsible for the environment.

Typical EPA. The EPA is claiming that this company is storing dangerous chemicals improperly, but it is only demanding future compliance and MONEY. If this place is improperly storing "dangerous" chemicals then why doesn't the EPA shut this place down immediately? I suspect that the EPA is simply using this company for publicity. The EPA should spend more time working on the mess left by Geneva.

You think Parrish is bad, EPA should be looking at the old Geneva Steel plant. Rumor is the state is looking the other way on the clean up because the owners are "connected" if you know what I mean - think Utah and Utah County

There are two sides to every story. The side Deseret news didn't print was the owners of Parish Chemical Company. The EPA is a government program and therefore has an agenda and can't always be trusted.
