Study reveals soil contamination at Bountiful gun club

BOUNTIFUL — Soil at the Bountiful Lions Club firing range is contaminated, and remediation efforts could cost $1.6 million to $2.8 million, an engineering study reveals.

Soil at the gun club is contaminated with higher-than-acceptable levels of lead and arsenic, and shows traces of cadmium, copper and zinc, along with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with clay pigeons, according to a study done by AMEC Earth & Infrastructure Inc.

The club is on the city’s east side at 1350 N. Skyline Drive, near the B on the mountain.
