Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ) and the Utah Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received authorization from EPA to administer the Federal biosolids program (40 CFR
part 503) on October 16, 1996. The Federal biosolids program regulations require certain publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) and Class I sewage sludge management facilities to
submit a Sewage Sludge (Biosolids) Annual Report (see 40 CFR 503.18, 503.28, 503.48). Facilities that must submit a Sewage Sludge (Biosolids) Annual Report include POTWs with a
design flow rate equal to or greater than one million gallons per day, POTWs that serve 10,000 people or more, Class I Sludge Management Facilities (as defined by 40 CFR 503.9), and
facilities otherwise required to file this report (e.g., permit condition, enforcement action, state law). This is the electronic form for Utah Sewage Sludge (Biosolids) Annual Report filers to
use.
For the purposes of this form, the term 'sewage sludge' also refers to the material that is commonly referred to as 'biosolids'.
Public Availability of Submitted Information
UDEQ/DWQ may make all the information submitted through this form (including all attachments) available to the public without further notice to you. Do not use this online form to submit
confidential business information (CBI) or if you intend to assert a CBI claim on any of the submitted information. Pursuant to 40 CFR 2.203(a), UDEQ/DWQ is providing you with notice
that all CBI claims must be asserted at the time of submission. The State of Utah cannot accommodate a late CBI claim to cover previously submitted information because efforts to
protect the information are not administratively practicable since it may already be disclosed to the public. Although we do not foresee a need for persons to assert a claim of CBI based
on the types of information requested in this form, if persons wish to assert a CBI claim we direct submitters to contact the UDEQ/DWQ Permitting Program (801-536-4300) for further
guidance.
Please note that UDEQ/DWQ may contact you after you submit this report for more information regarding your biosolids management program.
This collection of information is approved by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. (OMB Control No. 2040-0004). Responses to this collection of information
are mandatory in accordance with EPA regulations (40 CFR 503.18, 503.28, and 503.48). An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information are estimated to average 3 hours
per response. Send comments on the Agency’s need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden
including through the use of automated collection techniques to the Director, Regulatory Support Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2821T), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW,
Washington, D.C. 20460. Include the OMB control number in any correspondence. Do not send the completed form to this address.

Monitoring Data
Page 3 of 11
Compliance Monitoring Periods
INSTRUCTIONS: Pollutants, pathogen densities, and vector attraction reduction must be monitored when sewage sludge or biosolids are applied to the land. Please
use the following section to report monitoring data for the land application conducted by you or your facility in the reporting period for this SSUID. These monitoring
data should be representative of the sewage sludge or biosolids that was applied to land during the compliance monitoring period for this SSUID (40 CFR 503.8(a)
(http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?node=pt40.32.503&rgn=div5#se40.32.503_18)). All pollutant monitoring data should be reported in milligrams per kilogram
(mg/kg), dry weight basis. EPA will be using these data to demonstrate compliance with EPA's land application requirements (40 CFR 503, Subpart B).
INSTRUCTIONS: Please use the table below to identify the start date and end date for each compliance monitoring period. You can adjust the start and end dates as
needed. Please note that the compliance monitoring periods cannot overlap and that each compliance monitoring period must have a start date that is equal to or less
than the end date. The number of compliance monitoring periods is based on the number of metric tons (dry weight basis) of sewage sludge or biosolids land applied
in the reporting period (summed across all land application SSUIDs). For example, you will need to provide monitoring data for 12 compliance monitoring periods for
each land application SSUID when you land apply 15,000 or more metric tons (dry weight basis) of sewage sludge or biosolids (summed across all land application
SSUIDs) in the reporting period (see 40 CFR 503.16 (http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?node=pt40.32.503&rgn=div5#se40.32.503_116)).

land application of bulk sewage sludge or sewage sludge sold or gave away sewage sludge in a bag or other container when one or more sewage sludge pollutant
concentrations in the sewage sludge exceed a land application ceiling pollutant limit (Table 1 of 40 CFR 503.13 (http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?
node=pt40.32.503&rgn=div5#se40.32.503_113)). EPA will compare the pollutant concentrations in this section against the ceiling concentration limits in Table 1 of 40
CFR 503.13 (http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?node=pt40.32.503&rgn=div5#se40.32.503_113) to identify noncompliance events. All pollutant monitoring data

This section summarizes the maximum pollutant concentrations in the biosolids or sewage sludge that was applied to land during the compliance monitoring period for
this SSUID. In accordance with 40 CFR 503.13(a) (http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?node=pt40.32.503&rgn=div5#se40.32.503_113), EPA's regulations prohibit
land application of bulk sewage sludge or sewage sludge sold or gave away sewage sludge in a bag or other container when one or more sewage sludge pollutant
concentrations in the sewage sludge exceed a land application ceiling pollutant limit (Table 1 of 40 CFR 503.13 (http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?
node=pt40.32.503&rgn=div5#se40.32.503_113)). EPA will compare the pollutant concentrations in this section against the ceiling concentration limits in Table 1 of 40
CFR 503.13 (http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?node=pt40.32.503&rgn=div5#se40.32.503_113) to identify noncompliance events. All pollutant monitoring data
should be reported in milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), dry weight basis.
Please only select a "No Data Indicator Code" if you are reporting no data for the sampling period or particular parameter.

40 CFR 503.31(k) (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-40/chapter-I/subchapter-O/part-503/subpart-D/section-503.31#p-503.31(k))]. The following units should be used

Solids, total volatile, shall be reported as percent removal. See calculation procedures in "Environmental Regulations and Technology - Control of
Pathogens and Vector Attraction in Sewage Sludge" (https://www.epa.gov/biosolids/control-pathogens-and-vector-attraction-sewage-sludge), EPA-625/R-
