Re: No Further Action, Underground Petroleum Storage Tank Release
109 Vernal PTL (former Vernal Bulk Plant)
Located at 350 North Vernal Avenue, Vernal, Utah
Facility Identification No. 9000154, Release Site ITU
Dear Mr. Caldwell:

The file for this 1994 underground petroleum storage tank release has been reviewed by the
Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (DERR) project manager who has
recommended that no further corrective action be taken at this time. This no further action applies
only to the specific Release Site ITU. This recommendation is based on the information contained
in the file for this release. That information was supplied by you, your consultant, or another
representative.

The information submitted indicates that petroleum contamination of soil and groundwater
remain from this release. The contamination is at approximately 5-6 feet deep and at locations near
and due east of the former underground tanks that are not currently considered a threat to human
health or the environment according to Utah Admin. Code R311-211. This evaluation is based on
current land usage, exposure pathways, potential receptors and other site-specific risk
characteristics. In the future, if changes to these characteristics create a threat to human health or
the environment, additional corrective action may be required.

Facility ID# 9000154
