[Land-speed] Scrape prices.... Kind of LSR

[Wester Potter]

When they rebuilt I-15 before the 2000 Winter Olympics, a local scrap  
dealer, Sandy Pepper at Utah Barrel, bid on the steel girders they  
removed to build the longer bridges.  His bid wasn't for the steel but  
a price for the freeway builders to pay him to take the scrap steel  
away and remove the lead based paint.  When they talk about "clean"  
scrap, there's a reason today.  Sandy did just fine on the deal.
