LUST ID MSO
1.INTRODUCTION
This corrective action plan (CAP) has been prepared at the request of the Utah Department of
Environmental Quality, Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (DERR) and the
Wasatch Residential Group to address residual soil impacts associated with a release from a
former heating oil underground storage tank (UST) at the property.
2.BACKGROUND
The property is located at 10125 South 280 West, Sandy, Utah, and is the location of the former
residential property. See Figure 1 for the Site Vicinity Map and Figure 2 for the Site Map.
Information provided to Atlas by Wasatch Residential Group indicates the site is slated for
development as a multi-family apartment complex and is currently vacant.
Atlas reviewed prior reports associated with a release (Release ID MSO) reported from a former
500 gallon heating oil UST at the above referenced site. The results of limited subsurface
investigation (Terracon, 2010) conducted at the site indicated TPH-DRO impacts (1400 mg/kg)
above the Initial Screening Level (ISL), but below the Tier I Screening Level within the former tank
basin. Upon review of the data the DERR issued a No Further Action Letter on June 4, 2015. The
criteria for the closure was based upon the land use (Commercial), exposure pathways, potential
receptors, and other site-specific risk characteristics. The NFA letter stated that if any of these
criteria change in the future, additional corrective actions may be required.
In January 2024 the Client contact Atlas to discuss the regulatory requirements associated with re-
opening the LUST case in order to obtain ISL closure. With authorization from the Client, Atlas then
reached out to the DERR Project Manager, Ms. Eileen Brennan, to discuss re-opening the release
case. In late March the DERR re-opened the LUST case and requested that a CAP be prepared
to address the remaining petroleum impacted soil.
This proposed CAP presents a brief description of the tasks to be performed including a
schedule for completing the activities described herein. The primary purpose of the proposed
field effort is to remove impacted soil above the DERR ISLs.
3.SCOPE OF WORK
This proposed CAP describes activities relating to excavation, transportation, and disposal of
petroleum impacted soil; back fill and compaction of the excavated area; and then preparation
of a report documenting the field activities. Each task is described further in the following
paragraphs. The proposed area of excavation is present in Figure 2.

3.1 Task 1 – Public Notification
Task 1 will involve the preparation and distribution of a Public Notice summary letter explaining
the proposed remedial activities. The public notice would be distributed by hand by Atlas
personnel to the adjacent property owners. While visiting each property, Atlas personnel will
answer questions and make the necessary plans to minimize the impacts of the proposed
excavations on the surrounding residents and businesses. The public will have two weeks to
comment on the propose work. Once the public comment period has ended, the work would be
scheduled to begin within 15 days of the end of the public comment period. A draft copy of the
Public Notice is included Appendix A of this CAP.
3.2 Task 2 – Soil-Excavation, Transport, Disposal, and Confirmatory Sampling
The proposed area of excavation includes the area in the direct vicinity of the former heating oil
UST basin (Figure 2). The soil removal effort will encompass an area approximately 15 feet
long by 15 feet wide, and would extend to a depth of approximately 10 feet below grade. Based
upon review the subsurface investigation data collected at the site, the first five feet of soil is
expected to be clean and will be stockpile on site. Groundwater is not expected to be
encountered during the field effort; therefore, dewatering of the excavation is not anticipated.
Excavation of the proposed area will involve mobilizing a contractor to the site and excavating
approximately 85 yd3 of soil of which 42 yd3 are anticipated to be impacted. Security fencing will
be installed at the start of the field work.
Prior to mobilization, Blue Stakes of Utah will be notified and the site will be marked for
underground utilities. In addition to Blue Stakes, a private underground utility locating contractor
will be retained to locate all underground utilities in the direct vicinity of the proposed
excavation. Prior to the start of the soil removal effort, up to three small test pits will be
excavated using a track-driven backhoe to a depth of approximately 10 feet in attempted to
pinpoint the area of the former UST. In order to setup the soil disposal profile, one soil sample
will be collected from the area and submitted to a testing laboratory for analysis of benzene,
toluene, ethyl benzene, total xylenes, naphthalene (BTEXN) using USEPA Method 8260, and
for total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel (TPH-DRO) using USEPA Method 8015.
An organic vapor monitor (OVM) will be used to segregate the impacted and clean soil. Soil
registering concentrations of 20 part per million (PPM) or greater on the OVM will be considered
impacted. Soil determined to be impacted will be transported to E.T. Technologies Soil
Reclamation facility located in Salt Lake City and disposed.
Upon completion of the soil removal effort confirmatory soil samples will be collected from the
side-walls and floor of the excavation. A State of Utah Certified Soil and Groundwater Sampler
will conduct the sampling under the direction of a Utah Certified UST Consultant, following
standard soil sampling protocols. The confirmatory samples will be transported under chain-of-
custody documentation to a Utah-certified laboratory for analysis of BTEXN and TPH–DRO
within allowable holding times.
Upon completion of the soil removal effort, the excavation will remain open, and the backfill and
compaction effort will be completed by the General Contractor retained by the property owner to
redevelop the property.
3.3 Task 3 – Soil Excavation and Confirmation Soil Sampling Report
Following receipt of laboratory data, a soil excavation summary report will be prepared. The
report will include a description of soil excavation and confirmatory sampling activities, a site
map showing the outline of the excavation with confirmatory sample locations, analytical results,
waste disposal documentation, and photographs of various stages of the soil removal process.

4. DELIVERABLES
The anticipated deliverables for the work identified in this proposed CAP Plan include the
following:
• Soil excavation and confirmation soil sampling report.
5. PROPOSED PROJECT SCHEDULE
The proposed schedule for performance of the activities described herein is presented in
Table 1.
6. PERSONNEL
Key personnel for the proposed activities are as follows:
• Senior Project Manager – Jim Coletta;
• Project Geologist – Beau Anderson
7. CONTRACTORS
Atlas will oversee the work and will retain a subcontractor to remove and transport the soil. The
laboratory analysis will be conducted by a Utah certified testing laboratory.
8. EXCEPTIONS, ANTICIPATED PROBLEMS, OR SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
It is anticipated that the native materials might contain coarse grained sands, gravels, and
cobbles at percentages that would make it inappropriate for use as backfill material. It is
possible that additional soil may need to be removed from the site and properly disposed of.
It is also possible that the size of the excavations might need to be enlarged if conditions
encountered during field work suggest significant impacts extend beyond the limits of the
proposed excavations. Before expanding the proposed excavation area, Atlas will discuss all
modification to the scope of work with the Client and UDEQ.
At this time, no other exceptions or special requirements to the proposed Work Plan are
anticipated. In the event exceptions or special conditions arise, Atlas would amend this
proposed CAP or submit a new CAP to the Client and UDEQ for approval before initiating any
work outside the scope of services described herein.
