Re: RCRA 2020 Corrective Action Universe

Dear Mr. Goshen:
The purpose of this letter is to let you know that Utah Department of Environmental
Quality (UDEQ) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) have compiled a list
ofall Utah facilities that are, or may potentially be, required to address the" Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act's (RCRA) Corrective Action provisions. Because the national
list of 3,880 facilities has remediation goals that will culminate in the year 2020, EPA refers to it
as the 2020 Corrective Action Universe. Because your facility is listed in EPA's RCRA
information database as having an operating permit and ongoing corrective action, your facility .
has been included as part ofthis 2020 Corrective Action Universe.
Since corrective action is ongoing for your facility, the UDEQ and U.S. EPA expect that
any final cleanup remedy will be in place at your facility by 2020 (although actual attainment of
cleanup goals through remedy implementation may take a while longer). We will be working
with you to develop a plan and a schedule that achieves this goal before 2020.
Inclusion on this list does not imply failure on your part to meet any legal obligation, nor
should it be construed as an adverse action against you. It only means that UDEQ and U.S. EPA
have identified your facility as needing to complete RCRA Corrective Action. Our national
program goal is to largely address these cleanup obligations before the end of 2020. Accordingly,
progress will be measured for each facility in the 2020 Universe. The list of facilities will be
posted on the U.S. EPA's web site at http://www.epa.gov/correctiveaction on April 16, 2007.
Ifyou have any questions or concerns regarding this letter, please contact me at
303-312-6416 (E-mail: daly.carl@epa.gov) or Brad Maulding ofthe UDEQ at 801-538-6796
(E-maii; bmaulding@utah.gov).
Sincerely,^-.,
Carl Daly, Acting Manager
Corrective Action Unit
U.S. EPA, Region 8
