Vermiculite Intermountain building: 333 West 100 South
Sold in 1984, the Vermiculite Intermountain building at 333 West 100 South underwent substantial redevelopment and now consists of an electrical substation, a commercial parking lot, and small businesses.
EPA removed asbestos contamination from the structures and surrounding areas where contamination was discovered. Some asbestos soils were unable to be removed, buried near high-voltage power lines at the substation area which is gated and fenced from public access.
The parking lot is currently covered with asphalt and several feet of soil fill over the asbestos contaminated soils. This capping of the asbestos contaminated soils effectively eliminates the risk of human exposure. The property is being considered for future redevelopment and requires the use of institutional controls until any ground-breaking occurs.
