Re: Additional Sampling Requirements
Walmart Distribution Center #6029, located at 152 North Highway 91, Hurricane, Utah
Facility Identification No. 6000741, Release Site OFT
Dear Ms. Gallien:
On November 27, 2023, the Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (DERR)
received the Additional Limited Subsurface Investigation Report for the above-referenced site.
After reviewing this information, the DERR project manager has recommended further
investigation to determine the full extent of subsurface contamination. During petroleum storage
tank (PST) investigation activities on October 26, 2023, soil samples indicated TPH-DRO
concentrations above State-established applicable standards.
On October 26, 2023, GP-9 contained 7770 ppm TPH-DRO, additional soil samples should
be collected south and west of GP-9 to accurately define the release. Furthermore, samples should
be collected near GP-1 and GP-3 at depths of 8 to 10 feet below the ground surface to determine if
petroleum concentrations have changed since samples were collected on June 22, 2023. All sample
locations, including previous samples, must be documented on a map. This map must have
accurately labeled underground utilities, all previous sample locations, a scale, and all buildings or
structures.
The Division Director requires that additional samples be collected to determine the full
extent and degree of petroleum-contaminated soils. All environmental samples must be collected
by a Utah-certified groundwater and soil sampler following sampling protocol outlined in Utah
Admin. Code R311-205. The report associated with these requirements must be submitted to our
office within 90 days of receiving this letter. Environmental samples must be analyzed for gasoline
and diesel using the methods indicated in the enclosed Table of Analytical Methods for Sampling.
Facility ID# 6000741

project manager, at (801) 536-4100.
Sincerely,
Brent H. Everett, Director

1 The following modifications to these certified methods are considered acceptable by the DERR Division Director:
• Dual column confirmation may n ot be required for TP H and BTEXN/MTBE analysis.
• A micro-extraction or scale-down technique may be used for aqueous samples, but only for the
determination of extractable TP H as diesel range organics (C10 – C28).
• Hexane may be used as an extraction solvent.
• *Silica Gel Treatment (SGT) may be used in the determination of Total Recoverable P etroleum Hydrocarbons.
NOTE: The sample preparation method and any modification(s) to a certified method must be reported by the laboratory.
