Re:Subsurface Investigation Reporting and Requirements
One 9 Travel Center, 1670 West 12th Street, Ogden, Utah
Facility Identification No. 1200515, Release Site OKW
Dear Mr. Cupp:
A release of petroleum from a petroleum storage tank (PST) at the above-referenced site
was reported on June 13, 2024, to the Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
(DERR) based on a report of a diesel overfill event at a dispenser island. 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 within specified time frames following the release.
Your project manager has reviewed the release report information and has made the
recommendation that additional investigation work is required. The project manager relied on the
information provided and did not conduct an independent investigation of the facility. The
investigation's intent is to define the extent and degree of subsurface petroleum contamination and
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# 1200515
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.
During the 2014 Utah Legislative Session, Section 19-6-420(10)(a) of the Underground
Storage Tank Act was amended to allow the DERR to recover certain expenses incurred by the
DERR for petroleum releases not covered by the PST Fund. The DERR’s expenses for managing
and overseeing the abatement, investigation, or corrective action can be billed on a quarterly basis
to the responsible party. These expenses will be billed at a rate set by the Utah Legislature for
oversight and review, which is currently $115.00 per hour. Payment will be due within 30 days from
the billing. Certain factors may be considered by the Division Director when determining whether
to recover these management and oversight costs. If the responsible party can demonstrate an
inability to pay, the Division Director may grant an exemption from paying these expenses. You
may contact us to request an application for exemption, if needed.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mark Crim, the DERR project
manager, at (801) 536-4100.
Sincerely,
Brent H. Everett, Director
Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
