Re:No Further Action, Aboveground Petroleum Storage Tank Release
Levan Diesel Spill (Shepherd Residence), located at 25 South 200 East, Levan, Utah
Facility Identification No. 2000759, Release Site ODU
Dear Mr. Shepherd:
The Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (DERR) project manager has reviewed
the file for this 2022 surface release from an aboveground petroleum storage tank release and recommends
no further action (NFA) at this time. This recommendation applies only to the specific Release Site ODU
and is based on the information supplied by you or your consultant.
The information submitted indicates that petroleum contamination remains as a result of this release.
Specifically, remaining soil concentrations exceed the DERR Petroleum Storage Tank Initial Screening
Level (ISL) cleanup standards in landfarmed soil along a roadway at the southeast corner of your remote
feedlot. The contamination is in surface soils placed along the edges of your private driveway that are not
currently considered a threat to human health or the environment according to Utah Admin. Code R311-211.
This evaluation is based on current land usage, exposure pathways, potential receptors, and other site-specific
risk characteristics. In the future, if changes to these characteristics create a threat to human health or the
environment, additional corrective action may be required.
If you have any questions, please contact Eileen Brennan, the DERR project manager, at
[phone].
Sincerely,
Brent H. Everett, Director
Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
