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 you. This facility contains two USTs and is located at STEDP-EP-CR-STR, Dugway, Utah. The designated Facility Identification Number is 8000122. 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 60 days of the date of this letter: 1. Submit a copy of a current (performed in the last 12 months) precision line tightness test for the product lines associated with USTs #1 and #2. Facility ID# 8000122 Page 2 2. Submit a copy of a current (performed in the last 12 months) test for proper operation of the automatic line leak detectors on the pressurized product lines associated with USTs #1 and #2. 3. Submit a copy of the current (performed in the last 12 months) test for proper operation of the ATG. 4. Submit documentation to show that you have had a qualified cathodic protection tester test your cathodic protection system within the last three years. 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 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 your facility remains out of compliance with the requirements outlined above, the class A/B operator may be subject to re-training requirements and must successfully complete an appropriate training course and examination. If you have any questions, please contact Rick Saathoff, the DERR project manager, at (801) 536-4100. Sincerely, Brent H.
