Former Golden Eagle Oil Refinery UTD070534623 Gentlemen:
The property identified above was formerly the location of the now defunct Golden Eagle Oil Refinery (Golden Eagle). Past operations at the refinery resulted in the release of hazardous constituents to the environment. To address the investigation and potential remediation of these environmental impacts, Golden Eagle agreed to enter into a Stipulation and Consent Agreement (the Agreement) with the Division
of Solid and Hazardous Waste (now the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control). The Agreement, No. 0709018 (enclosed) was issued to Golden Eagle on February 11, 2010. While some environmental investigation has been conducted since 2010, the effort was never completed.
The Division understands that the property is now owned by Caladonian – 1474 West LLC. Please note that under Item #30 of the Agreement section, the document is binding on all parties, their successors and assigns, and all other persons or entities acting on their behalf. As the current owner of record for the property, Caladonian is required to fulfill the obligations of the Agreement.
Please contact my project manager, Rolf Johnsson, at (801) 536-0242 to confirm ownership and to arrange a meeting to discuss the current status of the investigation process and the outstanding work that still needs to be performed.
Sincerely,
Scott T. Anderson, Director Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control (Over)
