Re:Notice of Non-Compliance for Underground Storage Tank Violations
Big Pine Sinclair, located at 115 North State Street, Mount Pleasant, Utah
Facility Identification No. 2000436
Dear Mr. Thompson:
The Utah Underground Storage Tank Act (Act) imposes certain obligations on the owner or
operator of a facility having underground storage tanks (USTs). The Act authorizes the Director of
the Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (Division Director) to enforce the Act
and rules promulgated thereunder by issuing notices and orders. At the request of the Division
Director, the Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (DERR) performed a
compliance review for the facility owned or operated by Thompson Oil (you). This facility contains
six USTs and is located at 115 North State Street, Mount Pleasant. The designated Facility
Identification Number is 2000436.
The compliance review indicates you have not satisfied the requirements of the Act and
regulations. To achieve compliance, you must do all of the following within 30 days of the date
of this letter:
1. Submit a copy of the current (performed within the last three years) overfill
prevention equipment test documenting proper operation. The test was due
February 18, 2024.
The Act, Utah Code Ann. §§ 19-6-407 and 19-6-408, gives the Division Director the
authority to assess a civil penalty of $1,000.00 if an owner or operator of an UST fails to register
the tank or fails to pay fees within 60 days of due date, and to assess interest on the unpaid
Facility ID# 2000436

registration fee balance. Under Utah Code Ann. § 19-6-425, other violations of the Act, rules, or
orders may result in civil penalties of up to $10,000.00 per day. Failure to comply with the Act and
regulations may also result in revocation of your certificate of compliance under Utah Code Ann. §
19-6-414.
Failure to comply with the requirements of the Act and rules may result in the issuance of a
Notice of Violation and Order and/or a Notice of Agency Action and the assessment of a civil
penalty.
If you have any questions, please contact Sean Warner, the DERR project manager, at

Sincerely,
Brent H. Everett, Director
Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
