HILL AIR FORCE BASE — Even though a mercury spill went unreported and was improperly cleaned up, with the remaining liquid stored improperly, the public was not in danger, officials say.
Scott Anderson, director of Utah’s Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste, said that after his department conducted compliance inspections at Hill Air Force Base in September and October, it was clear the mercury posed no threat to those on base, nor to residents nearby.
