Potential Violation(s)
On November 30, 2023, an inspector from the DAQ observed Standard-Examiner at 332
South Ward Avenue, Ogden, in Weber County, Utah.
At the time of the inspection the DAQ documented the following potential violation: records
received on December 7, 2023, showed that VOC emissions for November 2022 - October
2023 were 15.10899492 tons, exceeding the limit on AO DAQE-AN10607003-04.
AO Conditions/Rules
DAQE-AN11607003-04 Condition 15 states:
The plant-wide emissions of VOCs and HAPs from the inks, solvents, etc. and associated
operations shall not exceed:
13.46 tons per rolling 12-month period for VOCs (excluding HAPs)
The purpose of a Compliance Advisory (CA) is to document observations made by the DAQ. You
are responsible for complying with the Utah Air Conservation Rules. There are possible
administrative and civil penalties for failing to do so. Section 19-2-115 of the Utah Code
Annotated provides that violators of the Utah Air Conservation Act and/or any order issued there
under may be subject to a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day for each violation.
The written response to this CA will be considered in resolving the deficiencies documented in
this letter. It may include information demonstrating compliance with the regulations or a
schedule to bring your company back into compliance with the applicable regulations. The DAQ
will review your response and this CA may be revised as a result of that review. Failure to
respond in writing within ten (10) business days of receipt of this CA will be considered in any
subsequent enforcement action and the assessment of penalties.
Possible DAQ actions to resolve a CA include: No Further Action Letter, Warning Letter, Early
Administrative Settlement with reduced civil penalty, Settlement Agreement with civil penalty, or
Notice of Violation and Order to Comply.
This CA does not limit or preclude the DAQ from pursuing enforcement options concerning this
inspection. Also, this CA does not constitute a bar to enforcement action for conditions that the
DAQ did not observe or evaluate, or any other conditions found during future inspections.
A meeting may be requested to discuss this CA. Please contact Daniel Riddle at (385)-222-1357
or driddle@utah.gov if you would like to request a meeting or if you have any questions about this
letter.
