Re:Corrective Action Plan Approval
First Step House, located at 273 East 800 South, Salt Lake City, Utah
Facility Identification No. 4002693, Release Site OLN
Dear Mr. Davis:
The Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (DERR) has completed its
review of the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) prepared by Terracon and submitted to us on
December 9, 2024, for the above-referenced facility. The CAP is in general compliance with Utah
Admin. Code R311-211 and R311-202. The DERR makes no guarantee, implied or otherwise, that
the approved CAP will be successful in obtaining established cleanup levels. In the event that the
cleanup goals are not met by the CAP, further work at the facility may be required prior to site
closure consideration. The public notification process has been successfully completed and there
was not substantial public interest or other reason to warrant a public meeting prior to CAP approval
or implementation of the cleanup activities.
The CAP is approved and will consist of the excavation and removal of contaminated soil
as well as the in-situ treatment of groundwater. The projected start date as indicated in the public
notification is March 5, 2025. If this schedule has changed, please contact your project manager
with an updated implementation schedule.
Any modifications to the above CAP/conditions must be reviewed and approved by the
Division Director prior to their implementation. The local health department must be notified
72-hours before beginning corrective action activities.
Facility ID# 4002693

Cleanup levels for this release have been established as Initial Screening Levels using
criteria outlined in Utah Admin. Code R311-211. These levels are expected to be protective of all
receptors within a critical distance at the site considering the current land use. It may be necessary
to reevaluate the cleanup levels if additional information becomes available or if the land use
changes in the future.
CAP construction or implementation should begin within 14 days of your receipt of this
approval letter. If corrective action has not begun by March 14, 2025, a revised CAP must be
submitted for approval.
Please submit a corrective action report detailing the cleanup activities and any sample
results within 60 days after corrective action is complete. Once it has been adequately demonstrated
that contaminant concentrations are below the established cleanup levels, you may petition the
DERR for site closure. After reviewing this information, the DERR will determine if no further
action is warranted or if additional work is needed.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Liberty Coe, the DERR project
manager, at [phone].
Sincerely,
Brent H. Everett, Director
Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
