Promontory Landfill LLC of Salt Lake City, Utah has invested $2 million and three years to develop a 2,000-acre facility to handle all of the state's waste. But the company has not begun construction on the landfill, and as a result is having difficulty securing financing and commitments to send waste. The company faces a Sept. 15 review of its permit, and if it does not have firm plans in place by then, the permit could be revoked. The company has discussed selling the facility to Box Elder County for $5 million.
