Thc monetary amount of the DAQ settlement offer specffied below is derived from a
pre-established schdule of penalties, which takes into account, among other factors, the
magnitude and severity of the viotation, economic benefil cooperation of the source as well as
the prior history of violations.
Atl parties we deal with, whetherprivate, commercial, or govemmental are treated similarly in
the settlernent process. Early Settlement Agreements are based on the evaluation of the same
factors and criteria in all cases. The DAQ acknowledges that the violation on June 4,2024,was
addressed by Staker Parson Companies by planning to zubniit a Notice of Intent and obtain a
new Approval Order within 12 months to increase the haul road lenglh and loader operation area
limits.
If you are interested in settling this violation, we are authorized to offer settlernent in accordance
with the DAQ Penalty Poliry as follows:
l.Staker Parson Companies agrees to pay a reduced civil penalty in the sum of $471.
Payment of a civil penalty precludes further civil enforcement for the above described
violation against the named source. Staker Parson Companies agrces to pay $471 of the
stipulated penalty within twenty (20) business days fronr the date you receive this Early
Settlement Agreement.
The DAQ retains its authority to take auy eirforcement actions based on any and all
violations not specifically described above. If a violation is a failure to submit a Notice of
Intent to the Director and receive ao Approval Order under Utah Administrative Code
R307401-5, the DAQ retains its authority to take subseque,nt enforcement action if
during the next inspection ttre DAQ finds the source is still not in compliance with
R307401-5.
ln the event any furfrer violations of the Act, the Utah Air Quality Rules, the source's
AO, or the Director's Orders occur, the DAQ may consider the violation described above
in assessing a penalty for the subscquent violations, in accordance with the provisions of
Utah Administrative Code R307- I 30.
Entering into this Early Settlement Agreernent shall not constitute an admission of
violation of the Act, the Utah Air Quality Ruleg or the source's AO nor shall it be
inferred to be such an admission in any administrative or judicial proceeding. The
describcd violation will constitute part of the comPany compliance history for any
purp$e for which such history is relevant to the DAQ.
