These photos were taken October 9th, 2002 in the Book Cliffs area of Eastern Utah near the Colorado border. When I spoke with the EPA about the pollution in this area in 1998 (CLICK HERE for photos from 1998), I was told it WAS illegal but that they deferred to the BLM for enforcement on the lands they manage. Enforcement and prosecution of these willful crimes against your public property obviously must not be a priority for the current personnel at the Utah Bureau of Land Management. Please contact the State of Utah and and the Utah BLM and tell them you want your public land treasures preserved not polluted and destroyed!

This was a site that was "cleaned up" after my complaints in 1998. The separated oil is being put in a tank as it is supposed to be. BUT>>>>>>>>>>

The DRAIN VALVE IS OPEN ON THE TANK and the oil is still being put in the ground and just covered with soil!!!!
