4. information that the Applicant is aware of concerning the nature and extent of any
relevant contamination and/or release at the site and immediately contiguous to the site,
and where the contamination is located; and
5. relevant information Applicant is aware of concerning the potential for human and
environmental exposure to contamination at the site.

Please include all information supporting the EA.

Applicant’s Intended Response Action Objectives:

___ Not known at this time. Applicant wishes to receive guidance from VCP staff.

___ Cleanup to Background.

___ Cleanup to Generic Risk-Based Levels (may require a Site Management Plan and
Environmental Covenant).

___ Cleanup to Site Specific Risk-Based Levels not relying on engineering or institutional
controls (may require a Site Management Plan and Environmental Covenant).

___ Cleanup to Site Specific Risk-Based Levels which rely on engineering or institutional
controls (may require a Site Management Plan and Environmental Covenant).

___ Other (explain)

Intent to Participate:

The Applicant requests oversight by DEQ of investigation and cleanup activities relating to
possible contamination at the property described above and intends to enter in good faith a
written agreement with DEQ to provide oversight under the VCP. This application does not
constitute such an agreement, and neither DEQ nor the Applicant will be bound to proceed with
the voluntary cleanup unless a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement (VCA) is executed. The Applicant
should be aware, that in order for DEQ to issue a Certificate of Completion for an entire site, the
Applicant must provide adequate information to document that the entire site meets the
applicable standards. As an alternative, the Applicant may pursue a Certificate of Completion
for only a portion of the site, as a partial response action area. The DEQ issues only one
Certificate of Completion per site. The VCA will describe the project activities of each party.
The DEQ will not proceed with the project, other than establishing program eligibility, until the
VCA is executed.

With this application, the Applicant does not admit or assume liability for investigation or
cleanup of the site. In addition, the Applicant may terminate the application at any time as
allowed by statute. If the application is rejected, the DEQ will follow the procedures in Utah
Code § 19-8-106.
