IV.C.3. For those parameters and constituents in Condition IV.C.2 for which no concentration
limit is established at the time the Permit is issued, the Permittee shall establish
background values in accordance with R315-8-6.8(g). Background water quality is
defined as the groundwater quality immediately upgradient and within the RWMA
boundary at the time the project was completed. The use of background water quality
upgradient of the Chevron property is not relevant in this permit because the RWMA,
itself, lies within the operating area of the Facility and is therefore, not surrounded by
soil and groundwater that are representative of naturally occurring, non-impacted
conditions. The RWMA, along with the entire facility falls within the GWMA, which
is subject to separate groundwater monitoring.
IV.C.4. Background groundwater quality for Table IV-1 monitoring parameters or constituents
is based on the average of data obtained at each of the four RWMA monitor wells
during the first year of quarterly sampling in 1994. As background data, they become
the basis against which future analytical results are compared. Due to the availability
of the 1994 background data established for the RWMA as concentration limits, and
the lack of any significant seasonal-based variations of any Table IV-1 parameter or
constituent, annual sampling will adequately monitor for a release from the RWMA
and still satisfy the data requirements for the selected statistical method required in
Condition IV.E (R315-8-6.8(g)). Therefore, annual sampling shall be implemented at
the RWMA by the Permittee pursuant to Condition IV.H.3 upon approval of this
Permit by the Executive Secretary.
IV.D. GROUNDWATER MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
IV.D.1. All monitor wells shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions in Condition
IV.D.10.
IV.D.2. The groundwater monitoring program shall include sampling and analysis procedures
defined in R315-8-6.8(d) and (e). Any modifications shall be submitted to the
Executive Secretary for review and approval following Condition I.D.2.
IV.D.3. The Permittee shall follow the requirements for measurement of the groundwater
surface elevation of R315-8-6.8 (f).
IV.D.4. If the Executive Secretary receives information indicating that the surveyed well
apron elevations of the wells in the groundwater system(s) as specified in
Conditions IV.A.5 and Attachment 1 are inadequate, the Executive Secretary shall
require the Permittee to resurvey any or all of these well apron elevations.

IV.D.8. The Permittee shall provide for the proper disposal of contaminated groundwater
generated during groundwater monitor well sampling and during the development
of any new monitor well. Purge and development water shall be placed into labeled
drums and be disposed of as outlined in Attachment 1. Typically, purge and
development water is disposed of into the Facility wastewater treatment system.
IV.D.9. The Permittee shall monitor and sample all groundwater monitor wells for the
presence of hazardous constituents identified in Condition IV.C. The monitor wells
shall be sampled at a frequency and in a manner consistent with Condition IV.C and
IV.F.2.
IV.D.10. The Permittee shall locate, install, construct, and maintain new groundwater
monitor wells as specified in the Technical Enforcement Guidance Document
(TEGD), OSWER-9950.1, September 1986, or the most recent version. All
monitor wells shall be cased in a manner that maintains the integrity of the monitor
well bore hole. The casing shall be screened or perforated and packed with gravel
or sand where necessary, to enable collection of accurate groundwater samples.
The annular space above the sand pack must be sealed to the surface to prevent the
potential for a contamination pathway from surface sources.
IV.D.11. The Permittee shall construct and maintain new monitor wells in accordance with
plans and specifications to be submitted to the Executive Secretary for approval.
The Executive Secretary will approve in writing the following: number, location,
depth, and design of all new monitor wells prior to installation. The Permittee shall

Module IV - Page 8
IV.D.20. For each monitor well the Permittee shall prepare a geologic and monitor well
completion log. The Permittee shall survey and record on the log the top of casing
elevation for each monitor well as it is installed. This elevation shall become the
reference for determining the groundwater surface elevation at each respective
monitor well.
IV.E. STATISTICAL PROCEDURES
IV.E.1. Within sixty (60) days of completing the first round of annual sampling (of newly
established monitor wells) as outlined in Condition IV.F.2, the Permittee shall
select and submit to the Executive Secretary for review and approval, one of the
statistical methods outlined in R315-8-6.8(h) to be used for evaluating groundwater
monitoring data for each hazardous constituent. The method which has been
approved by the Executive Secretary is in Attachment 4. This statistical method
shall be conducted for each hazardous constituent in each monitor well.
IV.E.2. The statistical method used to evaluate groundwater monitoring data shall be
appropriate for the distribution of chemical parameters or hazardous constituents.
IV.E.3. Hydrogeologic conditions at the RWMA dictate that a trend analysis such as the
Mann Kendall is the most appropriate statistical comparison. Therefore, this
individual monitor well trend analyses will be used in lieu of other statistical
methods in accordance with R315-8-6.8(h)5.
IV.E.4. Trends will be determined using a 95% confidence level (alpha = 0.05).
IV.E.5. At the time the Permit was issued, the total sample population at the RWMA was
less than 40. Thus, the equation specified in the Mann Kendall methodology for
small sample populations is appropriate. However, when the total sample
population exceeds 40, the equation for larger sample populations shall be used.
IV.E.6. While trends will be developed for each specific monitor well, with no statistical
comparison to the other RWMA monitor well data, the individual trends at each
RWMA well shall be compared as part of the overall evaluation of RWMA water
quality data.
IV.E.7. The selected statistical method shall follow R315-8-6.8(a)(1)(i) where applicable.

IV.F. MONITORING PROGRAM AND DATA EVALUATION
IV.F.1. The Permittee shall collect, preserve, and analyze samples pursuant to Condition
IV.D.18.
IV.F.2. The Permittee shall determine groundwater quality at each monitor well at the
compliance point annually during the post-closure care period of the RWMA. The
Permittee shall express the groundwater quality at each monitor well in a form
necessary for the determination of statistically significant increases in trends using
the methods outlined in IV.E.3.
IV.F.3. The Permittee shall determine the groundwater flow direction at the RWMA in the
uppermost aquifer as required by R315-8-6.9(e). This information shall be included
in the annual report specified in Condition IV.H.3.
IV.F.4. During data analysis from each sampling event, the Permittee shall determine
whether there is a statistically significant increase in the trend in each individual
monitor well for the parameters identified in Condition IV.C. In determining
whether such an increase has occurred, the Permittee must compare the
groundwater quality at each monitor well specified in Condition IV.A.4 to the
background value at each respective monitor well using the method specified in
Condition IV.E.3. An upward trend indicated by a single detection of a Table IV-1
parameter would first be re-validated to confirm if there was sampling or laboratory
errors that may have resulted in an invalid result. Depending on those findings, the
following conditions shall apply:
IV.F.4.a. If errors are confirmed, or suspected to have occurred in the lab or field, all related
QA/QC information shall be reviewed to determine if an accurate value for the
parameters in question can be obtained. If new value(s) can be obtained, they shall
be incorporated into the same data set. If not, the parameters involved shall be
reviewed as to whether the well should be re-sampled immediately, or if waiting
until the next annual sampling event would not jeopardize water quality reporting
issues for the event.
IV.F.4.b. If it is re-sampled, the new sample(s) shall be analyzed for all or part of Table IV-1
as directed by the Executive Secretary, thus superceding the original sample results.
The result of the re-sampling will direct what further action, if any, is to be taken
pursuant to Condition IV.G.

Module IV - Page 10
IV.F.5. The Permittee shall perform the evaluations described in Condition IV.F.4 within
sixty (60) days after completion of the original sampling event. If re-sampling is
required pursuant to Condition IV.F.4.b, the Permittee shall notify the Executive
Secretary at least seven (7) days prior to the planned re-sampling event.
Additionally, the reporting schedule in Table IV-2 will be delayed by sixty (60)
days due to the additional sampling, analytical and data evaluation time involved in
the re-sampling.
IV.G. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS IF SIGNIFICANT INCREASES OCCUR IN
VALUES FOR PARAMETERS OR CONSTITUENTS

October 31, 2002
Rule R655-4. Water Well Drillers.
As in effect on July 1, 2002
R655-4-12. Abandonment of Wells.
12.1 Temporary Abandonment.
12.1.1 When any well is temporarily removed from service, the top of the well shall be sealed
with a tamper resistant, water-tight cap or seal. If a well is in the process of being drilled and is
temporarily abandoned, the well shall be sealed with a tamper resistant, water-tight cap or seal
and a surface seal installed in accordance with Subsection R655-4-9(9.4). The well may be
temporarily abandoned during construction for a maximum of 90 days. After the 90 day period,
the temporarily abandoned well shall be permanently abandoned in accordance with the
following requirements, and an official well abandonment report (abandonment log) must be
submitted in compliance with Section R655-4-4.
12.2 Permanent Abandonment.
12.2.1 The rules of this section apply to the abandonment of the type of wells listed in
Subsection R655-4-1(1.2) including private water wells, public supply wells, monitor wells,
cathodic protection wells, and heating or cooling exchange wells. A licensed driller shall notify
the state engineer prior to commencing abandonment work and submit a complete and accurate
abandonment log following abandonment work in accordance with Section R655-4-4 of these
rules. Prior to commencing abandonment work, the driller shall obtain a copy of the well log of
the well proposed to be abandoned from the well owner or the state engineer, if available, in
order to determine the proper abandonment procedure. Any well that is to be permanently
abandoned shall be completely filled in a manner to prevent vertical movement of water within
the borehole as well as preventing the annular space surrounding the well casing from becoming
a conduit for possible contamination of the groundwater supply. A well driller who wishes to
abandon a well in a manner that does not comply with the provisions set forth in this section
must request approval from the state engineer.
12.3 License Required.
12.3.1 Well abandonment shall be accomplished under the direct supervision of a currently
licensed water well driller who shall be responsible for verification of the procedures and
materials used.
12.4 Acceptable Materials.
Chevron Products Company Post Closure Permit
Salt Lake Refinery Attachment 3
October 31, 2002
12.4.1 Neat cement grout, sand cement grout, unhydrated bentonite, or bentonite grout shall be
used to abandon wells and boreholes. Other sealing materials or additives, such as fly ash, may
be used in the preparation of grout upon approval of the state engineer. Drilling mud or drill
cuttings shall not be used as any part of a sealing materials for well abandonment. The liquid
phase of the abandonment fluid shall be water from a potable municipal system or disinfected in
accordance with Subsection R655-4-9(9.6.5).
12.5 Placement of Materials.
12.5.1 Neat cement and sand cement grout shall be introduced at the bottom of the well or
required sealing interval and placed progressively upward to the top of the well. The sealing
material shall be placed by the use of a grout pipe, tremie line, dump bailer or equivalent in order
to avoid freefall, bridging, or dilution of the sealing materials or separation of aggregates from
sealants. Sealing material shall not be installed by freefall (gravity) unless the interval to be
sealed is dry and no deeper than 30 feet below ground surface. If the well to be abandoned is a
flowing artesian well, the well may be pressure grouted from the surface. The well should be
capped immediately after placement of seal materials to allow the seal material to set up and not
flow out of the well.
12.5.2 Bentonite-based abandonment products shall be mixed and placed according to
manufacturer's recommended procedures and result in a seal free of voids or bridges. Granular or
powered bentonite shall not be placed under water. When placing unhydrated bentonite, a
sounding or tamping tool shall be run in the sealing interval during pouring to measure fill-up
rate, verify a continuous seal placement, and to break up possible bridges or cake formation.
12.5.3 The uppermost ten (10) feet of the abandoned well casing or borehole shall consist of neat
cement grout or sand cement grout.
12.5.4 Abandonment materials placed opposite any non-water bearing intervals or zones shall be
at least as impervious as the formation or strata prior to penetration during the drilling process.
12.5.5 Prior to well or borehole abandonment, all pump equipment, piping, and other debris shall
be removed to the extent possible. The well shall also be sounded immediately before it is
plugged to make sure that no obstructions exist that will interfere with the filling and sealing. If
the well contains lubricating oil that has leaked from a turbine shaft pump, it shall be removed
from the well prior to abandonment and disposed of in accordance with applicable state and
federal regulations.
12.5.6 Verification shall be made that the volume of sealing and fill material placed in a well
during abandonment operations equals or exceeds the volume of the well or borehole to be filled
and sealed.

Salt Lake Refinery Attachment 3
October 31, 2002
12.6 Termination of Casing.
12.6.1 The casings of wells to be abandoned shall be severed a minimum of two feet below
either the natural ground surface adjacent to the well or at the collar of the hole, whichever is the
lower elevation. A minimum of two (2) feet of compacted native material shall be placed above
the abandoned well upon completion.
12.7 Abandonment of Artesian Wells.
12.7.1 A neat cement grout, sand-cement grout, or concrete plug shall be placed in the confining
stratum overlying the artesian zone so as to prevent subsurface leakage from the artesian zone.
The remainder of the well shall be filled with sand-cement grout, neat cement grout, bentonite
abandonment products, or bentonite grout. The uppermost ten (10) feet of the well shall be
abandoned as required in Subsection R655-4-12(12.5.3).
12.8 Abandonment of Drilled and Jetted Wells.
12.8.1 A neat cement grout or sand cement grout plug shall be placed opposite all perforations,
screens or openings in the well casing. The remainder of the well shall be filled with cement
grout, neat cement, bentonite abandonment products, concrete, or bentonite slurry. The
uppermost ten feet of the well shall be abandoned as required in Subsection R655-4-12(12.5.3).
12.9 Abandonment of Gravel Packed Wells.
12.9.1 All gravel packed wells shall be pressure grouted throughout the perforated or screened
section of the well. The remainder of the well shall be filled with sand cement grout, neat cement
grout, bentonite abandonment products, or bentonite grout. The uppermost ten feet of the well
shall be abandoned as required in Subsection R655-4-12(12.5.3).
12.10 Removal of Casing.
12.10.1 It is recommended that the well casing be removed during well abandonment, and when
doing so, the abandonment materials shall be placed from the bottom of the well or borehole
progressively upward as the casing is removed. The well shall be sealed with sand cement grout,
neat cement grout, bentonite abandonment products, or bentonite grout. In the case of gravel
packed wells, the entire gravel section shall be pressure grouted. The uppermost ten feet of the
well shall be abandoned as required in Subsection R655-4-12(12.5.3).
12.11 Replacement Wells.
12.11.1 Wells which are to be removed from operation and replaced by the drilling of a new well
under an approved replacement application, shall be abandoned in a manner consistent with the
provisions of Section R655-4-12 before the rig is removed from the site of the newly constructed
Chevron Products Company Post Closure Permit

October 31, 2002
replacement well, unless written authorization to remove the rig without abandonment is
provided by the state engineer. Also refer to the requirements provided in Subsection R655- 4-
4(4.4).
12.12 Abandonment of Cathodic Protection Wells.
12.12.1 The general requirements for permanent well abandonment in accordance with Section
R655-4-12 shall be followed for the abandonment of cathodic protection wells.
12.12.2 A cathodic protection well shall be investigated before it is destroyed to determine its
condition, details of its construction and whether conditions exist that will interfere with filling
and sealing.
12.12.3 Casing, cables, anodes, granular backfill, conductive backfill, and sealing material shall
be removed as needed, by re-drilling, if necessary, to the point needed to allow proper placement
of abandonment material. Casing that cannot be removed shall be adequately perforated or
punctured at specific intervals to allow pressure injection of sealing materials into granular
backfill and all other voids that require sealing

RE: Statistical Procedure Approval for Post Closure Permit
Dear Mr. Anderson:
The Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste (Division) has completed its review of the Chevron
Products Company, Salt Lake Refinery’s (Chevron) permit modification request to change the method
of statistical procedures required by the Post Closure Permit for the Reservoir Waste Management Area
(RWMA) submitted on March 29, 2002.
Based on Chevron’s explanation on the nature of the hydrogeologic conditions and groundwater
mounding under the Reservoir Waste Management Area, the request to use the Mann-Kendall Trend
Analysis in place of the Parametric ANOVA method is hereby approved. The decision to use the Mann-
Kendall Trend Analysis is supported by information from Chevron, and discussions between Division
staff members and Chevron and its representatives.
This modification request was submitted as a Class 1 requiring prior approval and as such may be
implemented as per the conditions applicable to a Class 1 permit modification outlined in R315-3-4.3
(as incorporated by reference 40 CFR 270.42)
Should you have questions, please contact Matt Sullivan at 538-6858.
Sincerely,

Mann-Kendall Test
The Mann-Kendall test is a non-parametric test for determining trends. It indicates whether a
particular constituent has a statistically significant increasing or decreasing trend in an individual
monitor well. The test will also indicate the absence of a statistically significant trend. Mann-
Kendall is particularly useful since it has very few limitations. For example, sample data need
not be in a particular distribution and missing values are allowed. Mann-Kendall can also use
data reported as either a trace value or one less than the method detection limit by assigning a
common value that is less than the lowest measured value. This is allowed because Mann-
Kendall uses the relative magnitude of the values to determine a trend and not the measured
values. Of the trend analysis tests available, Mann-Kendall is the most robust and simple. This
reduces the chances for error during the statistical analysis. A more detailed discussion of the
Mann-Kendall test can be found in Statistical Methods for Environmental Pollution Monitoring by
Richard O. Gilbert (1987).
