(KSL News) Real Salt Lake will have to face another challenge getting their stadium-- pollution.
Salt Lake County District Attorney Lohra Miller surprised the County Council yesterday when she announced part of the land designated for the 110 million dollar stadium may be tainted by petroleum, oil and other waste.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports a study by a Sandy-based company found a 1 thousand gallon underground petroleum storage tank located at one end of the property.
Waste-oil storage drums, construction debris and other trash have also been stored there. The county must resolve the pollution question before it can issue the bonds.
Miller says it's too early to determine if the contamination is extensive.
