Aragonite, Utah
Aragonite is a ghost town in Tooele County, Utah, United States. It is located in the western portion of the state, close to the Dugway Proving Grounds. Interstate 80 exit 56 provides access to Aragonite.
Aragonite lies along the Hastings Cutoff, a historical transmontane route taken by nineteenth-century pioneers. The town was established in the early twentieth century for the mining of aragonite, though all mining operations in the area have ceased.〔(Aragonite ), Utah Ghost Towns.〕 The town site is now uninhabited and almost totally demolished. Just east of the historical townsite is a large hazardous waste incineration facility. This facility was known as the Aptus Incinerator, and was built there in 1991 after Tooele County established the surrounding lands as the West Desert Hazardous Industries District.〔(Aragonite Hazardous Waste Incinerator ). Center for Land Use Interpretation.〕 The incinerator was, at times, operated by Westinghouse, Rollins, Laidlaw, and Safety-Kleen, and is now operated by Clean Harbors.〔 The facility has been the subject of several penalties administered by the Environmental Protection Agency.〔(Utah Incinerator Faces Penalties ). Deseret News, September 29, 2009.〕〔(Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc. to pay penalty for chemical reporting violations at Aragonite, Utah facility ). US EPA, May 30, 2013.〕
