  • Reuse and the Benefit to Community: Kennecott South Zone Superfund Site
    Reuse and the Benefit to Community Kennecott South Zone Introduction Mining has long been a way of life in and around Utah’s Bingham Canyon. Few ore deposits in the world have been more productive than those found at Bingham Canyon Mine. The mine has produced millions of tons of copper and tons of gold and silver. Mining operations also contaminated soil, surface water and groundwater in the surrounding area, referred to by regulators as the Kennecott South Zone (the site). During cleanup discussions, the site’s potentially responsible party, Kennecott Utah Copper, LLC (Kennecott), proposed a course of action that would address contamination while avoiding placing the site on the Superfund program’s National Priorities List (NPL). This approach was the template for the Superfund Alternative Approach, which has since been used at sites across the country. EPA approved the cleanup plan, setting the stage for the site’s cleanup and remarkable redevelopment. Open communication, extensive collaboration and innovative thinking helped contribute to the transformation of this once contaminated, industrial site into a thriving residential area and regional economic hub. Superfund site restoration and reuse can revitalize local economies with jobs, new businesses, tax revenues and local spending. Cleanup may also take place while active land uses remain on site. This case study focuses on the Kennecott South Zone, primarily on operable unit (OU) 7 and an area known as the Daybreak development, which includes and surrounds OU7. Today, OU7 and several other parts of the site support a wide range of commercial, industrial, public service, residential and recreational reuses.

  • Mediating Constructions of Identity Through the Illness and Healing Experience of Homeless Native American Men Along the Wasatch Front, Utah
    Refracted Truths: Mediating Constructions of Identity through the Illness and Healing Experience of Homeless Native American Men along the Wasatch Front, Utah. Daniele Stolfi University College London Department of Anthropology Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) 2015 1 I, Daniele Stolfi, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT The thesis investigates how homeless Native American men in Salt Lake City, Utah navigate their experience of homelessness, as well as the social suffering it gives rise to, in order to affirm a sense of personhood and personal identity. It examines how this experience is constructed, presented, and mediated through a series of ambivalent spatial and agentic practices that contribute to shaping a contemporary and localized expression of Native American masculine identity. The thesis argues that, for Native Americans, the notions of personhood and identity are deeply rooted in a culturally and spiritually embodied sense of place. When this bond with place is ruptured, it not only complicates our understanding of indigenous homelessness, but the possibility for homeless Native American individuals of living fulfilling lives is fundamentally compromised and can lead to severe and debilitating forms of suffering that are difficult for us to comprehend. Their experience of homelessness also underlines the difficulties many of these individuals encounter in trying to reclaim a meaningful sense of self in order to lead ‘good’ lives. Unfortunately, it also reminds us in many cases of their failure to do so.
