Wal-Mart fueling station, Culver's coming along

Culver's is to be built at 946 Pancheri Drive.

I had a request to find out what’s going on in the Wal-Mart parking lot on Utah Avenue. A review of building permits in the city of Idaho Falls eTRAKIT system (which I have to admit I’m still getting the hang of) show that this is a Wal-Mart fueling station.

The actual address is 510 S. Utah Avenue. The permit was applied for June 22, the site plan was approved Sept. 6 and the building permit was issued Oct. 24. The total share footage of the project is 966,659.

Also down that way, Culver’s is coming along. The address will be 946 Pancheri Drive. The restaurant is 4,457 square feet. The permit was applied for Aug. 22.

If you want to look at it, here’s a link: Culver's Permit.  Pretty neat, huh?

INL researchers honored at Idaho Innovation Awards

Luis Diaz Aldana and Tedd Lister of Idaho National Laboratory

The Idaho Innovation Awards honored inventors Tedd Lister and Luis Diaz Aldana of Idaho National Laboratory recently at a reception in Boise. This was the third major award Lister and Diaz Aldana received this year for Electrochemical Recycling Electronic Constituents of Value (E-RECOV), a process that uses an electrochemical cell to efficiently reclaim valuable metals and rare-earth elements from discarded electronic equipment. The technique leads to more thorough recycling of materials while significantly minimizing chemical use and waste generation, and can be accomplished domestically and economically. 

The annual Idaho Innovation Awards recognize innovations, innovative professionals and companies throughout the state. Stoel Rives LLP, a full-service, U.S. business law firm, has organized and hosted the program since 2006.

The technology was developed with funding from DOE’s Critical Materials Institute. Other awards won by E-RECOV include Federal Laboratory Consortium Far West Regional and TechConnect National Innovation Award. This patent-pending technology is also the focus of a collaborative Small Business Voucher project with Ohio-based eMaterials Recovery, LLC. The E-RECOV process is currently available for licensing. Interested parties can contact Ryan Bills for further information. You can learn more about E-RECOV in this video from the Idaho Innovation Awards or in this INL fact sheet.
