Clive Conundrum Unveiled

From the back of a Range Rover crammed by SR‑224’s red brake‑light brigade, the Minister notes that the NorthWest Interstate Compact has pressed the pouch of our low‑level radioactive waste into a bureaucratic limbo. EnergySolutions, semi‑grandly stationed at the Clive facility, flouts any sense of invisible infrastructure by parading safety‑orange barrels along the route that actually passes through the Park City Municipal Corp’s jurisdiction. Meanwhile, Carmen Valdez of the Healthy Environment Alliance sues the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, led by Dave Noriega, for clinging to a still‑rubbery definition of Class A. Politician Casey Hill, champion of the lobby’s grand expansion, winks at a potential diversion yet fails to offer a clear detour out of the labyrinth. The result is a jammed corridor along SR‑224, punctuated by high‑viz yellow vests and temporary yellow barricades that blunt the flow of any sensible route. The Minister advises: Take the Richardson Flat bus to bypass the congested Clive corridor, or, if size allows, fly private into Heber instead.
