Uintah Wax Base Oils Seek New S L Market
Uintah County commissioners discussed with Willow Creek and Diamond Mountain delegations the benefits of installing cattle guards to replace current gate use. The panel offered to fund half of Willow Creek guard costs if the public pays the other half. Diamond Mountain action was stalled due to weak representation. Bridge repairs and detours were planned for Lapoint and Ashley Creek. A Los Angeles refinery proposed to buy wax base oils from Uintah Basin, potentially operating SureSeal’s North Salt Lake plant under court receivership, with W M Barnes Co to invest $500,000 subject to court approval.
