The plant is systematically destroying 43 percent of the nation's obsolete chemical weapons stockpile stored at the Tooele Army Depot. The petitioners also claimed the board should have revoked the plant's permit when it was learned it had operated for six months without one.

However, the appeals court said in a 3-0 decision that the hazardous waste control board had generally acted appropriately and the-judges "decline to disturb the Board's order." The court also ruled the Sierra Club's health-related arguments against granting the permit were Rosalie Gunnell sued the Orem school, co-workers and supervisors for $100,000 in 1994, alleging she was subjected to sexual harassment, retaliation and denied family medical leave.

Restoring the building will be a challenge, said Gov. Mike Leavitt, chairman of the commission. "We'll have to have a substantial budget commitment," Leavitt said. But Leavitt said returning the "people's building" to historical glory and upgrading it to modern building standards will be worth the expense.

Richard Byfield, director of state buildings, said it will cost about $150 million to refurbish the steel, concrete and granite structure, built originally with private funds from a wealthy Utah resident's trust. Most of the $150 million will be used to bring the building up to earthquake standards. One idea is to "float" the building's foundation on huge shock absorbers.
