How We Do Business
The Performance Partnership Agreement
The State of Utah, Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ) and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Region VIII
partnership concept, memorialized in the Performance Partnership Agreement (PPA), recognizes
that each brings unique experience, capabilities, knowledge and resources to the table and that
environmental issues can be more effectively addressed by maximizing these assets.

An End of Year report is used by UDEQ and EPA to jointly evaluate the partnership's success in
achieving the environmental program goals, measures and commitments contained in this
agreement and to jointly plan for next year's PPA. The evaluation seeks to determine whether
the work undertaken in the PPA:

1. Addresses the stated strategic priorities and goals;
2. Achieves administrative cost savings;
3. Where appropriate, improves environmental results; and
4. Improves EPA/UDEQ working relationships.

The following tools, in alignment with principles of Cooperative Federalism, are used to ensure

Joint Planning and Review: Region VIII is responsible to periodically document that
federally authorized programs are adequately conducted in conformance with
authorization agreements. Under the PPA, EPA and UDEQ jointly evaluate program
performance, identify needs, and determine how to best enhance program capacity. For
delegated programs, UDEQ determines the best program structure, consistent with
federal criteria. Implementation of non-delegated programs and programs on Indian land
is a federal responsibility. Delegation or any other authorization to implement EPA
programs to UDEQ does not extend to Indian country as defined in 18 U.S.C. Section
1151. EPA, or eligible Indian tribes, as appropriate, will retain responsibilities for EPA
programs in Indian country.1 However to ensure effectiveness, many of these activities
also need State support.

Financial Flexibility: Most programs included in the PPA are partially funded by federal
grants administered by EPA. UDEQ has flexibility in the use of federal funds in
exchange for achieving agreed-upon environmental and program goals. Expenditure of
federal grant funds and State cost shares must be consistent with the purposes and
activities specified in the federal and state authorizing statutes and regulations and the
commitments associated with the financial assistance.

1 The parties acknowledge that EPA generally describes Indian country in Utah as follows:
Indian country in Utah generally includes (1) lands within the exterior boundaries of the following Indian reservations located
within Utah, in part or in full: the Goshute Reservation, the Navajo Indian Reservation, the reservation lands of the Paiute
Indian Tribe of Utah (Cedar Band of Paiutes, Kanosh Band of Paiutes, Koosharem Band of Paiutes, Indian Peaks Band of
Paiutes, and Shivwits Band of Paiutes), the Skull Valley Indian Reservation, the Uintah and Ouray Reservation (subject to
federal court decisions removing certain lands from Indian country status within the Uintah and Ouray Reservation), and the
Washakie Reservation; (2) any land held in trust by the United States for an Indian tribe; and (3) any other areas that are
.
FFY 2023 PERFORMANCE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

Adequate Resources and Staff: EPA strives to provide appropriate shares of resources
needed to carry out agreed upon commitments and new requirements. When adequate
resources are not available, needs are jointly balanced and prioritized. This provides
opportunities to discuss potential investments and disinvestments, to address cross
program challenges, and to leverage resources for the highest environmental gains.

Technical Assistance: Upon request, EPA is often able to provide technical assistance
which may not otherwise be available. For activities that do not require a major
commitment for federal resources, EPA personnel may be available on an ongoing basis.
For activities requiring a major commitment, requests for technical assistance are made
as part of the PPA negotiation process.

Innovations: Sharing cost-effective and efficient approaches to solve environmental
problems benefits everyone. EPA agrees to provide flexibility for States to try new
approaches and States will provide appropriate performance accountability mechanisms
when new approaches are used. When necessary the PPA will be amended to address the
new approaches.

Alternative Dispute Resolution: EPA and UDEQ are committed to use alternative dispute
resolution as an effective tool to deal with disputes and potential conflicts.

Oversight: Oversight of state and tribal environmental program performance is an
important function of the EPA. Program oversight is the process by which Region VIII
carries out its responsibilities for periodically assessing, ensuring, and documenting that
federally authorized programs are conducted by states and tribes adequately and in
conformance with authorization agreements. Program oversight also encompasses
continuing programs for which EPA funding is provided. Grant oversight focuses on
deliverables, or action item commitments, and performance measures in grant work
plans, and includes a fiduciary responsibility to ensure that grant funds are accounted for
and used appropriately by recipients.

State Review Framework (SRF) and Uniform Enforcement Oversight System (UEOS)
Review: EPA and the State promote environmental compliance and pollution prevention
through technical and compliance assistance activities and enforcement, when necessary.
The careful administration of compliance assistance, pollution prevention, and
enforcement is directed toward the overall goal of achieving increased compliance and
reducing risk in all priority areas. State RCRA Subtitle C, CWA NPDES, CAA
Stationary Sources and PWSS enforcement program performance will be evaluated as
described in the Region 8 State Enforcement Performance Oversight Protocol (FY2023
FY2028) and as described in the state-specific State Oversight Plan. EPA and the State
agree to follow the revised SRF elements one through five in reviewing and assessing
state compliance activities and programs. The review will be done once every five years.
There are no formal enforcement oversight reviews (SRF or UEOS) planned for FY
2023.

FFY 2023 PERFORMANCE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

Agreements and Initiatives
Governor Priorities
Governor Cox has laid out a clear vision in his Utah Home priorities. DEQ supports the
strategic plan that sets specific goals and objectives to
deliver tangible outcomes over the next two years.

DEQ has identified three strategic focus areas with corresponding goals.

1.

Goal 1. DEQ will take meaningful action to combat poor air quality, help restore
previously contaminated sites for development, and reverse the trend of degrading water
quality to promote sustainable growth in Utah.

2. Invest Staff and Resources in Rural Utah

Economic Future of Utah.

3. Deliver First in Class Customer Service Statewide

Goal
state government services. Weak connections between government and the public
decrease the effectiveness of services and reduce trust. DEQ is committed to meet people
where

Compliance/Enforcement Process
In general, UDEQ and EPA will assume enforcement lead for violations identified by their
respective programs. However, there may be instances where it would be appropriate for either
UDEQ or EPA to take the lead for a violation cited by the other agency. These cases will be
discussed to determine any impediments to enforcement and which agency is best suited to
address the violation. EPA will notify UDEQ before initiating any enforcement action within
Utah.

Data Management
Maintaining consistent information is imperative to the interpretation and usage of the
information by all parties and with local, state, and federal partners. UDEQ will look for ways to
share data with local, state and federal partners that increases the access to and quality of
UDEQ's data. Funds may be used to purchase or develop software and other data management
tools to support the fulfillment of joint priorities and PPA commitments. Before the purchase is
made, UDEQ will inform EPA of its intent.

UDEQ and EPA agree to continue analyzing reporting requirements in an effort to reduce
reporting budgets and to ensure only data that is utilized is reported. The agencies agree that all
information provided by UDEQ or a system generated by UDEQ is the responsibility of UDEQ
and will not be changed by EPA staff or their representatives without prior approval.
FFY 2023 PERFORMANCE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
9

Early Engagement
UDEQ and EPA support Early Engagement as a vital component to effective policy
development. Early Engagement ensures that the priorities and interests of the State and the
Region are clearly articulated and considered. UDEQ and EPA will observe this approach to
ensure the success of PPA programs.

Emerging Issues
If both parties agree, UDEQ and EPA will reopen the PPA and amend it to address emerging
address new issues that emerge during the PPA period. In addition, during the course of this
agreement, UDEQ and EPA will examine how a
multi-year document.

Environmental Justice
UDEQ and EPA agree to conduct all of their base regulatory programs within the framework and
spirit of Environmental Justice (EJ). UDEQ and EPA agree to communicate about EJ issues,
grant outreach, and Grantee activities in Utah and continue to assist, upon request, EJ grant
funded activities in the state. UDEQ and EPA agree to exchange information, which, if
appropriate, may give rise to opportunities for addressing additional EJ issues.

EPA is prepared to offer EJ training to UDEQ for the purpose of increasing understanding and
improving clarity about EJ concepts and application. UDEQ and EPA will discuss the
applicability of this training to UDEQ programs. EPA will provide the state access to its
environmental justice Geographic Information System and other environmental justice tools and
resources, as requested.

Food
All official events sponsored by UDEQ that comply with the State and Department Food Policies
are allowable under the PPA. If food costs are allowed under an EPA-approved grant work plan
that is rolled up into the PPA/PPG, then both parties agree that case by case EPA approval is not
necessary, as long as the purchase complies with the policies.

Implementation of Goals and Measures
By entering into this agreement, UDEQ and EPA agree to implement the goals and measures
contained herein. The EPA commits to fund UDEQ in the amounts specified in the Performance
Partnership Grant application. Should final appropriations be different (i.e. more or less) than
these amounts, both parties may renegotiate the goals and measures outlined in this agreement.

Inspection Targeting
EPA will provide UDEQ with its list of annual inspection targets and its planned inspections for
Utah. EPA will notify UDEQ of any changes in the inspection list as soon as possible. UDEQ
programs will share their inspection targets with their respective counterparts, as outlined in the
individual work plans.

FFY 2023 PERFORMANCE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

Monitoring
Collection and analysis of high-quality environmental information is a priority of EPA and
UDEQ. Priority activities are those that meet EPA reporting requirements and monitoring
d upon
monitoring activities are identified in the program work plans.

Process Improvement
UDEQ and EPA agree that ongoing process improvement is an important aspect of
environmental program delivery. EPA agrees to support UDEQ's implementation of Continuous
Improvement approaches to evaluate and adjust existing business and public participation
practices within critical areas.

Quality System Program/Quality Management Plan (QMP)
UDEQ operates an EPA-approved Quality System Program that meets or exceeds federal
requirements for all programs and provides input into the regional/national databases. UDEQ
The quality assurance project plans (QAPPs) developed by UDEQ for the RCRA, CWA, CAA
delegated programs and the CERCLA program are incorporated into this agreement by
reference. As specified in the QMP, the QMP and each QAPP is reviewed annually by UDEQ
and updated, as appropriate. Documentation of the annual review is to be done, using the EPA
Region 8 QMP or QAPP Crosswalk, and included in the Annual QA report.

UDEQ will also submit an annual report of its Quality System activities to EPA Region 8. The
annual QA report shall summarize its review of the UDEQ quality system, including:

provider, dates of training, and number of attendees;
whether the QA document is for new or continuing projects;
taken to resolve any findings; and
needs to be addressed or if support is needed from EPA Region 8.
Supplemental Environmental Projects
A Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) is a project an alleged violator may propose to
undertake as part of a settlement to provide tangible environmental or public health benefits to
the affected community or environment, that is related to the violation being resolved, but goes
beyond what is required under federal, state or local laws.
a part of certain environmental compliance settlements as permitted by law. EPA will evaluate
FFY 2023 PERFORMANCE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
11

opportunities for SEPs in all settlements of enforcement cases affecting communities with
environmental justice concerns.

Training
UDEQ and EPA agree to jointly identify training opportunities to support the goals and
and training efforts.

Utah Base Program
UDEQ certifies that it has, maintains, and implements adequate programs in conformance with
federal and state law and regulations and conditions set forth in authorizing documents
(delegation, MOAs, enforcement agreements) for the following federal laws: the Clean Water
Act (CWA); the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA); the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA); the Clean Air Act (CAA); the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA); the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA); and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

This agreement is not intended to and does not supersede authorization/delegation packages or

Comments on Utah Final 2024 PPA
• Due to difficulties in coordination, the following action has been added to the workplan, as
agreed upon with Deborah Ng and Stevie Norcross at the State of Utah as a non-significant
change: to row 13, column K, added the sentence: This percentage will include annual
inspections of federal TSDFs unless those inspections are instead conducted by EPA.
• Additionally, as agreed upon with Deborah Ng and Stevie Norcross at the State of Utah as a non-
significant change, all dates in column J that reference FY23 should be considered to reflect
FY24. No changes were made to the spreadsheet as these fields are write-protected.
• The NPDES Permits and Enforcement sections of the PPA were not showing in the final narrative
version of the FY24 Utah PPA. After consultation with UDWQ, it was discovered that rows 25-41
in the Water Quality tab were hidden and did not show up in the final narrative version of the
PPA. The state was able to unhide the rows in the spreadsheet. As agreed, upon with Leanna
Littler-Woolf at the State of Utah, this was a non-significant change.
• For rows 35-41 of the Water Quality tab, Akash Johnson was added as the EPA contact for the
NPDES Enforcement PPA requirements. As agreed, upon with Leanna Littler-Woolf at the State
of Utah, this was a non-significant change.

defined by goals, measures, and/or reporting requirements. The Utah DWQ agrees to conduct core program activities as described in and as evidenced
by the submittal of the UIC Program narrative included in the EOY Report.
The USEPA agrees to provide the following support to the Utah 1422 UIC Program:
One annual midyear review of Utah 1422 UIC Program.
Technical training, as appropriate and as funds allow.
Seventy-five percent (maximum) of funds necessary to operate the core State 1422 UIC Program, assuming a federal budget funding level near or equal to
the past three years. Should funding levels drop significantly, USEPA will review core program elements and provide appropriate revisions.

Objective 7.10 Implement the Annual State/EPA
UPDES Compliance Inspection Plan.
(1) EPA and DWQ enforcement programs (7.5) will conduct quarterly meetings to discuss, at a minimum, a review of up
to 10 DWQ facilities in Significant Non-Compliance (SNC) (alternatively, a review of facilities in the NPDES Noncompliance
Report [NNCR], once the NNCR becomes available), the status of pending SRF recommendations, any DWQ enforcement
actions or concerns DWQ would like to discuss with EPA, and any recent or planned EPA compliance evaluations or
enforcement actions at facilities where DWQ is authorized to implement the NPDES program.
(2) EPA will identify and provide copies, if possible, of any policy or guidance documents used when evaluating the
appropriateness of DWQ’s enforcement actions. DWQ agrees to evaluate all violations and determine an appropriate
response and take that action.
(3) DWQ will take timely and appropriate enforcement against facilities in Significant Non-compliance.
(4) DWQ will incorporate approved compliance schedules and deadlines into enforcement actions such that these
schedules and deadlines are enforceable under the NOV/Order.
(5) Utah may submit an updated draft Enforcement Management System. EPA Region 8 will provide timely comments
within 45 days of any submittal.
(6) DWQ will submit to EPA appropriate enforcement documents (NOVs/Orders, settlement agreements, etc.) upon
request.
(7) A list of all completed enforcement actions including the name of the facility, type of action, penalty amount (if any),
and type of facility shall be provided to the EPA with the EOY Report. The EPA may conduct a penalty review of a select
number of actions, not to exceed ten. Upon request, DWQ will provide penalty calculations and all necessary background
documentation to EPA for the selected enforcement actions, which will mainly focus in priority areas (e.g. cases in
priority areas; MS4s, CAFOs, SSOs, and energy extraction). The EPA will provide written comments on any reviewed
settlement documents and penalty calculations as part of the EOY Review.
Status Comment Required The Annual State/EPA UPDES Compliance Inspection plan will (a) include the universe of facilities subject to
each CMS metric and number of compliance monitoring activities planned for the year.
(b) If the Inspection Plan commitments do not meet the inspection goals listed in the EPA NPDES Compliance and Monitoring Strategy, the Inspection Plan
will include adequate detail for EPA to understand:
i- the overall approach proposed including the rationale for any deviations and tradeoffs;
ii- a description of the affectected regulated universe(s); and
iii- an explanation of how DWQ has determined that the resulting reduced/modified attention at certain facilities will not have negative public health or
environmental impacts. In addition, the Inpsection plan should include the details always expected in a CMS plan (e.g., universe of facilities subject to
each CMS metric and number of compliance monitoring activities planned for the year).
(c) EPA may determine the number of inspections conducted at the end of the federal fiscal year (September 30) by DWQ in each category above by
requesting this information from DWQ. DWQ will provide a list of inpsections performed for each category as indicated in the Inspection Plan in the form
of ICIS reports, Excel spreadsheets, or any other format agreeable to DWQ and EPA. DWQ will enter all inspections into ICIS within 40 days of the
completed activity, in accordance with 40 CFR Part 127, Appendix A, Table 1. Any inpsections performed on or before September 30, but which do not
appear in ICIS by November 10 may not be counted in the end of year numbers.
EPA Region 8 may conduct up to 6 oversight inpsections with DWQ each year. Additional inspections EPA Region 8 may conduct are included in and
agreed to in the Inspection Plan. This includes inspections within EPA national and regional enforcement initiatives.
Region 8 will ask DWQ to conduct single and/or multimedia inspections at federal facility NPDES majors with recurrent effluent violations. Region 8 will
