Site Management Plan

1. Introduction
GSH Geotechnical, Inc. (GSH) is pleased to submit this Site Management Plan (SMP) prepared
on behalf of the current property owner, Diglisic Holdings, LLC. The site is located at 805 North
Redwood Road, North Salt Lake, Utah and covers approximately 2.5 acres. This report includes
discussions concerning the controls placed on the Former Construction Power Solutions Property
as well as the necessary steps to maintain compliance with the controls during the site
development.
The site formerly belonged to Construction Power Solutions, LLC, which offered full-service
equipment rentals and fueling. It is currently planned to redevelop the site into 3,000-3,500 square
foot flex spaced condos for commercial purposes. Chemicals of potential concern (COPCs) have
been identified in the groundwater and soils within the Former Construction Power Solutions
Property. COPCs include TPH-DRO, TPH-GRO, and Oil & Grease, which are associated with
past site activities.
2. Previous Environmental Reports
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment 1 was completed on March 29, 2023, by Gordon
Geotechnical Engineering, Inc. Within the ESA, Gordon Geotechnical Engineering identified the
subject property to have historically stored and fueled asphalt-tar sealing construction equipment
as well as an open LUST case on the property. A diesel fuel spill from a broken pipe, surficial
staining of what appeared to be petroleum products, and a partially buried, corrugated pipe storage
tank was also identified within the report during the site reconnaissance.
Due to these RECs, a Limited Phase II ESA 2 was conducted, by Gordon Geotechnical Engineering,
in order to determine whether contamination was present on the subject property. The report
identified soil and/or groundwater samples above the initial screening levels for Diesel Range
Organics (TPH-DRO), Gasoline Range Organics (TPH-GRO), Benzene, Oil and Grease (HEM),
and TPRH (SGT-HEM).
On May 12, 2023, Wasatch Environmental completed a Subsurface Investigation Report 3 to
further investigate the known petroleum impacts at the site, investigate potential releases, and to
evaluate potential surface soil impacts at the site. Seventeen (17) borings were drilled, and the
results identified soil and/or groundwater samples to be above the initial screening levels for Diesel
Range Organics (TPH-DRO), Gasoline Range Organics (TPH-GRO), Oil and Grease, and TPRH.
On April 16, 2024, GSH Geotechnical, Inc., completed a Subsurface Soil Assessment 4 to further
analyze soil and groundwater contamination at the site. Seven (7) borings were drilled by GSH,

and the results identified soil and/or groundwater samples to be above the initial screening levels
for Diesel Range Organics (TPH-DRO), Gasoline Range Organics (TPH-GRO), and Oil and
Grease.
3. Controls
The controls listed below for the Former Construction Power Solutions Property will need to be
followed throughout site development.
3.1 Construction Activities
- GSH must observe that the site has been grubbed and stripped of non-engineered fill and
vegetation prior to the placement of the mandatory surface cover. The grubbed and stripped
soils must be deemed to not contain contamination above the action levels for the site. Site
soils must not exceed 500.0 mg/kg of TPH-DRO and 1000.0 mg/k of Oil & Grease. Soils
that have not been sampled or are above Initial Screening Limits must be moved within the
Former Construction Power Solutions Property and placed in designated areas or
transported offsite for disposal.
- A suitable vapor barrier should be installed below all structures to reduce the risk of vapor
intrusion. Exterior pavement, such as asphalt or concrete, acts as a cap and is anticipated
to provide sufficient protection for human health. All landscaping should have a minimum
of 12 inches of non-contaminated soil (topsoil) between the ground surface and
contaminants.
- Soils being removed from the site must be tested to meet the site action levels for TPH-
DRO, TPH-GRO, and Oil & Grease. Any soils taken off site will need to be disposed of at
an appropriate disposal facility.
3.2 Soil Excavation and Stockpile Management
Contaminated soils may be stockpiled on the subject site if an impermeable barrier is installed
between the stockpile and the underlying surface cover. Contaminated soils may also be stored
directly on the exposed natural soils provided they do not contact any of the surface cover. Soils
may remain uncovered during the day if they are returned to the excavation. Soils to be stockpiled
overnight must be covered by an impermeable barrier.
Transportation of excavated soils must follow Department of Transportation regulations. Site
vehicles and equipment will need to be decontaminated in a decontamination zone prior to tracking
off site. The decontamination process will consist of either a dry brush or high-pressure wash to
remove residue from equipment. Dust control will need to be maintained on site and on restricted
materials leaving the site or being stockpiled.

3.3 Storm Water Management and Erosion Control
Construction activities must adhere to the Utah Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (UPDES)
Construction General Permit, which entails implementing a Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP). Compliance with the SWPPP and adoption of best management practices are
mandatory to reduce stormwater impacts and prevent the release of contaminated stormwater.
Throughout construction, measures will be implemented to divert stormwater from stockpiles and
excavation using methods like covers, temporary berms, or swales. Construction practices will be
managed to advert soil erosion, halt sediment entry into stormwater, and reduce the likelihood of
stormwater seepage into potentially affected soil. The best management practices for erosion
control include storm drain inlet protection devices, silt fencing, stabilizing entrances to minimize
off-site tracking, strategic location of temporary stockpiles, etc.
3.4 Site Worker Health and Safety
Contractors should have a site-specific Health and Safety Plan that is in compliance with OSHA
requirements for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response. All site workers who
may potentially come in contact with impacted soils and groundwater should use the correct
personal protection equipment (PPE) to minimize contact with contaminants, this includes gloves,
boots, safety vest, etc. Contractors will be responsible for ensuring that both their employees and
subcontractors follow suitable health and safety procedures.
4. Maintaining Compliance
GSH recommends that a pre-construction meeting for the Former Construction Power Solutions
Property be conducted with all parties involved to further discuss and outline procedures and
controls.
- Site visits will be conducted by GSH to confirm the controls identified in section 3 of this
report are being followed. Potential GSH representatives that will conduct the site visits
will include Kamryn Griffith and Alan Spilker.
- Site visits will be conducted as often as needed to document current activity and
compliance with this SMP. Each visit will identify work completed and pictures will be
taken of the site to document the on-going work. A letter will be issued with each site visit
detailing observations and compliance with this SMP.
- Any issues identified during a site visit must be corrected immediately or a plan to fix the
issue should be put into place. The issue identified as well as the correction or planned fix
to the issue will be documented. Once a plan is in place a follow-up visit will be required
to sign off that the past issue has been remedied.
