Re: Subsurface Investigation and Reporting Requirements
Top Stop C-40, located at 1355 East Highway 40, Vernal, Utah
Facility Identification No. 9000221, Release Site NON
Dear Mr. Larson:
The Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (DERR) received your
Subsurface Investigation and Well Repair Report, on December 29, 2017. The DERR has reviewed
the report and determined that residual soil and groundwater contamination at your Release Site
must be addressed. According to Utah Administrative Code R311-202, you are required to report,
control, abate, and characterize the release by defining the extent and degree of petroleum
contamination and remediate (clean up) the release. These regulations require that you prepare
specific reports addressing the release and submit them to the DERR.
The DERR project manager has reviewed the release and information in the file and has
made the recommendation that additional investigation work is required at the area of the
aboveground petroleum storage tanks (APSTs) and monitoring well MW-3. The project manager
has relied on the information provided and has not made an independent investigation of the facility.
The intent of performing the investigation is to define the extent and degree of subsurface petroleum
contamination at and around the APST compound and to evaluate the potential risks to human
health and the environment. A Subsurface Investigation Report (SIR) outlining the results of the
investigation must be submitted to the DERR within 90 days of your receipt of this letter.
Requirements for an SIR are detailed in the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST)
Subsurface Investigation Report Guide (May 2014), which can be found on our website:
https://documents.deq.utah.gov/environmental-response-and-remediation/ust-lust/leaking-undergr
ound-storage-tanks-remedial-assistance/lust-subsurface-investigation-report-guide.pdf.
Facility ID# 9000221
Page 2
If you hire a consultant to perform work related to this release, they must be a Certified PST
Consultant (Utah Admin. Code R311-201-2).
Upon submitting your SIR, the investigation results will be evaluated to determine if no
further action (closeout) is needed or if additional work is necessary. This additional work may
consist of performing additional investigation activities, conducting cleanup, implementing
environmental monitoring and/or performing a risk assessment.
If you have any questions concerning this compliance schedule or the cleanup process at
this Release Site, please contact Eileen Brennan, the DERR project manager, at (801) 536-4100.
Sincerely,
Brent H. Everett, Director
Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
