RE:Property of the Former Pennzoil Roosevelt RefinerySite Management RequirementsPost-Closure Permit
EPA ID #UTD073093874
Dear Mr. Horrocks:
The Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control (the Division)isreaching out to you regarding property located in Roosevelt, Duchesse County, Utah, with Parcel ID No. 00-0002-4558
(the Property). Duchesse county records indicate that you are the current owner of the Property. This Property, as you may know,was formerly part of the Pennzoil Roosevelt Refinery (Refinery).
Because of the past operations of the Refinery, contamination was found in soil and groundwater requiring investigations and remediation. Long-term requirements include ongoing site
management and groundwater monitoring.
These requirements are outlined in a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Post-Closure Permit (the Permit) issued to Pennzoil – Quaker State Company DBA SOPUS Products (SOPUS)
and Roosevelt Land Investments, LLC (RLI), a property owner, as co-permittees. A copy of the Permit can be found on the Divisions website athttps://deq.utah.gov/waste-management-and-radiation-control/pennzoil-quaker
The ongoing site management requirements are outlined in an Environmental Covenant that was recorded in the Duchesne CountyRecorder’s Office on January 10, 2010. The Environmental Covenant
includes your property, Parcel ID No. 00-0002-4558.
The Permit and the Environmental Covenant are in place to help ensure the long-term protection of human health and the environment, due to the impacts from past Refinery operations.
The Division is currently in the process of reviewing an application for the Permit renewal. The PropertyParcel No. 00-0002-4558is within the boundary of the former refinery, which is
also identified as the permitted Facility Boundary, and is subject to the requirements of the Permit. As such, we want to ensure that you are aware of restrictions and ongoing responsibilities
associated with the Property.As an owner of a Property that is subject to the Permit, you may be a co-permittee. Such a determination will be based on the environmental conditions of
the Property.
We have identified three options to assist you in navigating these issues.
You may become a co-permittee, subject to enforcement under the Permit.
You may submit to the Division a partition of your rights, to exclude you as a co-permittee and to remove the Property as part of the defined Refinery boundary in the Permit. As part
of the petition, you will be required to provide sufficient site history demonstrating the Property has not been impacted by Refinery operations requiring investigation and remediation.

Allow the Division and Pennzoil to determine the environmental condition of your property using available environmental investigation data and past operations records for the Refinery.
If the Property has not been impacted by Refinery operations, the Division would redefine the boundary of the Refinery to exclude the Property in the Permit renewal. This would not subject
you or the Property to the Permit.
In all three options, the Property is still subject to the Environmental Covenant.Please provide the Division withyour intent in writing by March 31, 2025.
We would be happy to discuss the environmental requirements and obligations in more detail and answer any questions you might haveas you consider these options. Please feel free to reach
out to Paige Walton, Program Manager of the Division’s Hazardous Waste Cleanup Program,at 385-515-0086.
Sincerely,
Douglas J. Hansen, Director
Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control
