FY 2024 PERFORMANCEPARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT •DECEMBER 2024 2 of 5
Introduction
The Performance Partnership Agreement
The State of Utah Department of Environmental Quality UDEQ and the U.S.Environmental
Protection Agency EPA Region VIII coordinate to deliver Utah’s environmental services.This
partnership concept,memorialized in the Performance Partnership Agreement PPA ,recognizes
that each brings unique experience,capabilities,knowledge,and resources to the table and that
environmental issues can be more eectively addressed by maximizing these assets.
An End of Year report is used by UDEQ and EPA to jointly evaluate the partnership's success in
achieving the environmental program goals,measures,and commitments contained in this
agreement and to plan for next year's PPA jointly.The evaluation seeks to determine whether the
work undertaken in the PPA
1.Addresses the stated strategic priorities and goals;
2.Achieves administrative cost savings;
3.Where appropriate,it improves environmental results;and
4.Improves EPA/UDEQ working relationships.
The End of Year Report documents the accomplishments of the Utah Department of Environmental
Quality under the FFY 2024 Performance Partnership Agreement and Performance Partnership
Grant.
Utah DEQ appreciates the flexibility the PPA and PPG allow in meeting critical environmental goals
and the burden reduction oered by a single end of year report.
We remain commied to the PPA as an eective mechanism for "seing out jointly-developed
priorities and protection strategies”and "working together to address priority needs.”1

(1) Evaluate the core program effectiveness as reported in the UIC Program narrative included in the EOY Report.
2) Enforce the 1999 Class V Rule regarding motor vehicle waste disposal wells (MVWDWs) and large capacity
cesspools (LCCs). MVWDWs and LCCs are closed as they are identified. Priority is given to identifying these wells
within groundwater-based source water protection zones as delineated by the Utah Division of Drinking Water,
Source Water Protection Program. MVWDWs and LLCs identified, inspected and closed are included in the
submittal of the biannual narratives and quarterly reporting to the UIC Data Application.
3) Identify and report the number and percent of Class I injection wells that are used to inject industrial,
municipal, or hazardous waste wells that fail mechanical integrity and maximize the number that are returned to
compliance within 180 days, thereby reducing the potential to endanger USDWs.
-The reporting requirements for this metric shall be fulfilled by the quarterly submittal to the UIC Data
Application.
-Identify and report the number and percent of Class III injection wells that lose mechanical integrity and
maximize the number that are returned to compliance within 180 days, thereby reducing the potential to
endanger USDWs. The reporting requirement for this metric shall be fulfilled by the quarterly submittal to the UIC
Data Application.
4) Identify and report the number of Class V motor vehicle waste disposal (MVWD) wells and large capacity
cesspools that are closed or permitted in sensitive ground water protection areas* and maximize the number that
are closed or permitted thereby reducing the potential to endanger underground sources of drinking water.
-The reporting requirement for this metric shall be fulfilled by the quarterly submittal to the UIC Data
Application. * Although Utah has not formally delineated "other sensitive ground water areas" throughout the
state as defined by the December 7, 1999 final rule, the 1422 UIC Program will continue to prioritize the
identification, reporting, and return-to-compliance of MVWDW and other high priority wells within Source Water
Protection Zones and other areas, although not formally delineated, where risk to human health and vulnerability
to ground water contamination is recognized.

b- have expired individual permits
c- have applied for, but have not yet been issued an individual permit
d- have individual permits under administrative or judicial appeal.
(2) If the number of backlogged permits is greater than 30% at any time, provide an overall permit
issuance/backlog reduction plan showing how the State will expeditiously reduce the backlog to 10% upon
request from EPA.
The PPA may specify goals and objectives for activities beyond the base level of performance, but, in no way,
should this be interpreted as relief from full implementation of the base program.
DEQ certifies that it has, maintains, and implements an adequate UPDES program including pretreatment,
biosolids, CAFO, and storm water in conformance with federal and state laws and regulations and conditions set
forth in program authorization (delegation) documents. As long as the DEQ maintains an adequate program, the
EPA and the DEQ agree that this Agreement shall remain in effect, except as amended through mutual
agreement.
Grant dollars awarded by the EPA may be used by the DWQ UPDES Program to perform core program activities
to adequately maintain its UPDES program, even when these activities are not specifically defined by goals,
measures, and/or reporting requirements.
(1) Report:
a- 138 facilities are covered by an individual UPDES permit
b- 11 permits have been administratively extended
c- DWQ is in the process of issuing 2 permits we have received applications for
d- There are no individual permits under administrative or judicial appeal
(2) Utah DWQ has 6 backlogged permits, or 4.3% of permits.

2-Number of SIUs, with the number of SIUs which are categorical industrial users (CIUs), permitted by the State
annually.
3-Community and number of communities where the following activities occurred, including the activity that
occurred in the community: outreach activities, pretreatment oversight, inspections of industrial users and
sampling of SIUs that are permitted by the State.
4-Number of pretreatment programs that are being developed in non- approved program areas.
(e) Identify in ICIS the following for Pretreatment Program statistics:
1-The number of SIUs that discharge to POTWs with approved Pretreatment Programs;
2-The number of SIUs that discharge to POTWs with approved Pretreatment Programs that have adequate
control mechanisms implementing applicable pretreatment standards and requirements (95% coverage is the
Regional commitment);
3-The number of CIUs that have adequate control mechanisms implementing applicable pretreatment standards
and requirements in approved pretreatment programs.
The End-of-Year Report was submitted to EPA (Al Garcia) on April 23, 2024.
(a) There are 19 approved POTW Pretreatment Programs
(b) Eighteen Programs have legal authorities that include the streamlining requirements, which have been approved or are currently being
reviewed or public noticed by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ).
(c) There are 35 CIUs that DWQ has investigated, ten of which are discharging.
(d) The following for non-approved pretreatment program areas:
1 and 2 - Currently, DWQ has permitted six SIUs, three of which are CIUs. DWQ inspects food processors based on the need for oversight of the
Industrial User (IU). DWQ does not permit some of the food processors due to the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) having capacity for
the IU.
3-See below.
4-There are six communities for which DWQ is determining if the community will be required to develop and implement a Program.
(e) Identify in ICIS the following for Pretreatment Program statistics:
1-Based on the 2023 Annual Pretreatment Reports, Programs have identified 322 SIUs.
2-Based on the 2023 Annual Pretreatment Reports, 322 of the 319 SIUs have been permitted by the Programs. Therefore, 99% of the SIUs in
Program areas have been adequately controlled by a control mechanism.
3-Based on the 2023 Annual Pretreatment Reports, 196 CIUs have been permitted
by the Programs.
