OGDEN — Earth Day couldn’t have come at a better time for Richard Getz, of Ogden.

A new resident to the area who has relocated from Boston because he was attracted to the outdoors, Getz said he noticed Sunday as he rode his bicycle that the Ogden River Parkway needed a little cleaning up.

Getz said he complained to his neighbor, Robin Pflugrad. And when he did, he found out about an activity Monday night designed to address that very problem.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Division of Water Quality issued a Notice of Violation and Compliance Order to Chevron Pipeline Company as a result of the diesel fuel spill near Willard Bay on March 18.

The state is asking Chevron to provide a report on cleanup activities and its response plan for the pipeline rupture that leaked approximately 21,000 gallons of diesel.

The state said the notice is not a penalty.

“Rather, it details findings of fact regarding the spill, violations based on these findings, and mandatory compliance provisions for cleanup and monitoring,” the division said in a news release.

PLEASANT VIEW — The city council has decided to provide vouchers for residents to use at the Weber County green waste facility.

In previous years, Pleasant View has had a spring cleanup service, with city employees using city trucks to pick up green waste from the curb. Last year, the council did away with that project because of problems, including improper items left out for pickup and the time city employees spent searching for the green waste throughout Pleasant View.
