The following serves as the final report detailing the emergency response and corrective actions taken in
response to the incident that occurred on November 29, 2024, at the above-referenced location. Please see

On November 29, 2024, at 0753 ET, Love’s Travel Stops and Country Stores retained Emergency
Response and Training Solutions (ERTS) to manage and oversee environmental operations. ERTS
dispatched Enviro Care, Inc out of Duchesne, UT to conduct all onsite cleanup and remediation activities.
Regulatory Notifications:
Pursuant to Utah Administrative Code, R315, Rules 315-9-1, 315-9-4, on November 29, 2024, at 1214 ET,
ERTS contacted the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Operator Nicole Chavez received
the call; report number 19401 was assigned to this incident.
Corrective Action:
On November 29, 2024, at 1320 ET, Enviro Care personnel arrived on-site and conducted an initial
assessment. They reported that an estimated 100 gallons of diesel fuel was released, affecting an area
measuring 250 feet by 30 feet on the concrete slab. The fuel migrated into the parking lot, impacting a
nearby drain basin. Enviro Care confirmed that no material flowed beyond the drain basin.
The team then began operational procedures, which included pressure washing the affected asphalt. They
used a vacuum truck to collect the rinse water and recover the impacted water from the drain basin. Enviro
Care collected 359 gallons of diesel-impacted water and removed the waste from the site for pending
disposal. Please see the attached photos provided by the contractor (Appendix 2).
Waste Disposal:
On December 3, 2024, 359 gallons of non-hazardous, diesel-impacted water was transported to Sump &
Trap Cleaning in Salt Lake City, UT, for final disposal. Please see the disposal document (Appendix 3).
Conclusions and Recommendations:
No evidence suggests any environmental impact remains on the site following corrective action. ERTS
recommends that the incident be closed.
Love’s Travel Stops are working to replace the overfill flapper or install an overfill system at the site to
prevent future incidents.
ERTS and Love’s Travel Stops and Country Stores appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have
any questions regarding this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(440) 543-2400 Extension 552.
