Hogan and Associates Construction, the contractor on the Treasure Mountain Junior High demolition site in Park City, has filed the report the Utah Division of Water Quality ordered after finding it discharged more than 518,000 gallons of contaminated water into a nearby creek without required permits, The Park Record reported. The paper obtained the Oct. 16 report through a public records request. [1]
The report covers the company's dewatering work and includes a draft sediment sampling plan and a treatment plan for groundwater contaminated with metals including arsenic, copper, zinc and lead. Hogan, based in Centerville, said filing it "does not admit the facts, determinations or violations" in the state's order and that it reserves its rights, including to comment on any proposed penalty.

Division Director Candice Hasenyager issued the notice of violation and compliance order last month after an investigation of nearly a year. Each violation can carry a civil penalty of up to $10,000 a day. The Park City School District owns the site, where Hogan is building new sports facilities. [1]
