Re: Abatement, Subsurface Investigation and Corrective Action Plan Requirements
Former Manning Short Stop Amoco, located at 325 West Main Street, Hyrum, Utah
Facility Identification No. 0100519, Release Site ONA
Dear Messrs. Singh:
A release of petroleum from a petroleum storage tank (PST) at the above-referenced site
was reported on March 14, 2025, to the Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
(DERR) based on petroleum odors and sheen on waters within the Hyrum City storm drain system
and traced back to the gas station fuel tanks. According to Utah Administrative Code R311-202, as
the property owner and Responsible Party, you are required to report, control, abate, and
characterize the release by defining the extent and degree of petroleum contamination and remediate
(clean up) the release. These regulations require that you prepare specific reports addressing the
release and submit them to the DERR within specified time frames following the release.
The DERR project manager has reviewed the release report information and has
recommended that continued abatement and further investigation and cleanup work is required. The
project manager relied on the information provided and did not conduct an independent
investigation of the facility. In conjunction with Utah PST rules, the DERR is requesting:
1. Continued abatement of the impacted storm drain system and surface waters;
2. Secure the out-of-use PST so future fuel delivery errors or releases cannot occur;
3. Abate impacted soils and/or free product at the aboveground PST compound;
4. Stop the continued leaching of petroleum from the soils at the PST compound into
the groundwater and surface waters;
Facility ID# 0100519
Page 2
5. Submit a Closure Plan and get approval from the DERR prior to the removal of the
three older aboveground PSTs for the removal of impacted soil, product and
groundwater beneath the tanks;
6. Investigate and delineate the nature and extent of petroleum impacts to the soil and
groundwater outside the current aboveground PST compound;
7. Comply with any additional requirements of the Division of Water Quality (initial
email, dated March 18, 2025, is attached); and,
8. Prepare and submit a Corrective Action Plan to remediate any residual petroleum
impacts to soil, groundwater, or surface waters/storm drains that may remain
following steps 1 through 7 above.
If you hire a consultant to perform work related to this release, they must be a Certified PST
Consultant (Utah Admin. Code R311-201-2). All environmental samples must be collected by a
Certified Groundwater and Soil Sampler. Lists of currently certified persons are attached. Cleanup
levels for your site will be established using the criteria and standards required by Utah Admin.
Code R311-211, and as described in the DERR guidance.
An Abatement Report covering items 1 through 4 above should be submitted to the DERR
within 30 days of completing those activities. A detailed description of the abatement activities
should be presented in the report, including the results (volumes of product recovered from various
methods, volumes of water or soil removed, any confirmation sample data, lab reports, photos,
contractor’s daily logs, etc.).
The tank Closure Plan (item 5) should be submitted as soon as possible for the DERR
approval. Closure approval allows for the removal of up to 50 cubic yards of impacted soil. A
written request for authorization to remove more than 50 cubic yards must be submitted and
approved bytheDERR before additional impacted soils can be excavated and removed. This request
must include an estimate of the additional amount of soil to be removed. Copies of the Closure Plan
form and the follow-up Closure Notice form are attached. The final Closure Notice must be
submitted to the DERR within 90 days after the tank removal.
The intent of performing the investigation (item 6) is to define the extent and degree of any
remaining subsurface petroleum contamination and evaluate the potential risks to human health and
the environment. A Subsurface Investigation Report (SIR) outlining the results of the investigation
must be submitted to the DERR within 120 days of your receipt of this letter.
Additionally, as outlined in Utah Admin. Code R311-202, Sections 280.66 and 280.67, a
Corrective Action Plan (CAP) may be necessary to clean up any residual contamination at your site
(item 8). After the previously mentioned reports have been received and reviewed, the DERR will
evaluate if a CAP, or other work, is necessary for this release. The DERR will review any CAP for
approval based upon an evaluation of the cleanup plans for the protection of human health and the
environment, cost effectiveness, and use of appropriate cleanup technology.
Requirements and guidance for an SIR and for a CAP can be found in the DERR guidance
documents attached to this letter. All environmental samples must be analyzed for gasoline and
diesel compounds, as outlined in the Analytical Methods table in the SIR Guide.
Facility ID# 0100519
Page 3
Section 19-6-420(10)(a) of the Underground Storage Tank Act was amended to allow the
DERR to recover certain expenses incurred by the DERR for petroleum releases not covered by the
PST Fund. The DERR’s expenses for managing and overseeing the abatement, investigation or
corrective action can be billed on a quarterly basis to the responsible party. These expenses will be
billed at a rate set by the Utah Legislature for oversight and review, which is currently $125.00 per
hour. Payment will be due within 30 days from the billing. Certain factors may be considered by
the Division Director when determining whether to recover these management and oversight costs.
If the Responsible Party can demonstrate an inability to pay, the Division Director may grant an
exemption from paying these expenses. You may contact us to request an application for exemption,
if needed.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Eileen Brennan, the DERR
project manager, at (801) 536-4100. Please keep the DERR project manager informed, in advance,
of field activities and other critical tasks.
Sincerely,
Brent H. Everett, Director

Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST)
Subsurface Investigation Report Guide
A Customer Guide to assist Utah owners and operators of underground
storage tanks in their investigation of the extent and degree
of petroleum contamination from LUST sites .
May 2014
A petroleum release has been confirmed at your facility, and screening levels have been
exceeded. You are therefore required to investigate and remediate the release.
This publication will guide you through the process of preparing the Subsurface Investigation
Report as required under the state-established compliance schedule( s) for releases of petroleum
products from underground storage tank (UST) systems. A subsurface investigation, to define
the extent and degree of contamination, is required in order to establish site-specific clean-up
levels prior to consideration of closing the release site.
This Subsurface Investigation Report replaces the former versions known as the "Abatement and
Initial Site Characterization Report" and the "Subsurface Investigation Report", formally
required under the "Phase I" and "Phase II Reporting and Remediation Schedules". The
"Corrective Action Plan Report" has been replaced by the "Corrective Action Plan Guide." The
former reporting formats should be discontinued immediately.

Subsurface Investigation and Clean-up Checklist
The following checklist will provide you with a summary of the steps between discovery of a
petroleum release, investigation and remediation (clean-up) of your release and final site
closure. It is designed to help you understand the steps involved, to graphically track your
progress, and show how near to completion of the process you are.
X Important Steps to Remember
Report the release within 24 hours of discovery to the Division of Environmental
Response and Remediation (DERR). Stop the source of the release and prevent
the spread of further contamination.
If the leak or release occurred from a tank that is covered by the Utah Petroleum
Storage Tank Trust Fund (FUND)*, submit an Eligibility Application for
reimbursement of investigation and clean-up costs. Refer to the DERR's
publication "Petroleum Storage Tank Fund Claims Packet" for complete eligibility
and reimbursement information.
Prepare and submit a "Subsurface Investigation Report" within 90 days of
notification from the DERR. Use this guide for preparing the report.**
If free product is found, prepare a "Free Product Removal Report" and include it
with your Subsurface Investigation report. Use this guide for preparing your Free
Product Removal Report (page 9).
Refer to the APermitting Requirements List; contained in this guide (page 10) for
any applicable reporting or permitting requirements by other regulatory agencies
for the release at your facility.
Submit a "Corrective Action Plan", as requested by the DERR, to clean up
contamination to established or recommended clean-up levels, or conduct a risk
assessment to establish site-specific clean-up levels.
Once work or clean-up at the site is completed as determined by the DERR,
request site closure in the form of a "no further action" letter from the DERR.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have to submit a Subsurface Investigation Report?
There are two reasons why you must submit this report to the Utah Division of Environmental
Response and Remediation (DERR). First, you are required by Utah law to report, control,
abate and characterize the release by defining the extent and degree of contamination, and
conduct remediation (clean-up) if necessary. And second, it will enable the DERR to help
guide you through the investigation and clean-up process to make it as timely, site-specific
and cost effective as possible. If information regarding your release site indicates relatively
high levels of petroleum contamination, further investigation will help determine if there are
risks of contaminating drinking water, indoor air, surface water, sensitive wildlife habitats or
other sensitive receptors. This report provides information to help determine these potential
risks.
*Even if the tank is not currently on the Fund, the release may be covered by the Fund if the release occurred while the tank was
on the Fund and if the tank was on the Fund within the last six (6) months (or one year in some circumstances). If there is any
possibility that the release is covered, the eligibility application should be submitted immediately because the claim will be
ineligible ifit is not submitted on time. See Utah Code §19-6-424.
**Depending on the results of your subsurface investigation, more work may be needed at the release site. This additional work
may consist of conducting groundwater monitoring, abatement or cleanup activities, additional investigations or other related
Subsurface Investigation Report Guide Page 3
work.
Should I hire a consultant?
Utah law requires that starting on January 1, 1996, contractors or environmental consultants must
be certified as a "Certified UST Consultant" to perform work at any UST release site.
You will need to hire the services of a trained and experienced environmental consultant or
contractor to assist you with necessary abatement, investigation and clean-up work and associated
reports. Environmental professionals with experience in leaking underground storage tank
(LUST) site investigations and clean-ups are available to help you with this work in a timely and

1 Introduction
The Introduction should include the following information:
•
•
•
Your facility identification number, release site number and location or
address of the release site.
A brief history of land use at the site including a description of how the
release was determined.
A brief description of the work completed at the site, and a brief summary of
the conclusions and recommendations for further work (if any) at the site.
2 Site Description and Maps
A good site description will help determine potential exposure pathways for petroleum
contamination to reach or impact people or the environment. This section should consist of a
vicinity and site map providing a complete graphical description of the facility and the land
surrounding the facility. Each map should be drawn to scale with proper orientation (showing a
North arrow) and should be no larger than 11" x 17". This way the maps can be bound into the
report. The maps should provide the following information:
•
•
•
The facility address or location, with an appropriate scale ( e.g., bar scale with
1 inch= 20 feet, etc.) and North arrow.
Existing and removed UST systems including piping, dispensers and fill
ports.
Underground utilities including; culinary water supply, sewer or septic
systems, natural gas lines, storm drains, power and telephone lines.
Subsurface Investigation Report Guide Page 5
• Property boundaries, on-site buildings and any adjacent buildings.
• Any excavations showing width, length and depth.
• Any known contaminated areas (square footage or volume if known).
• Location and depths of ALL soil and groundwater samples collected
during any phase of the investigation of this release. Include closure
sample locations, confirmation sample locations, soil boring locations,
groundwater monitoring well location and other relevant information. Be
sure to include depth ( feet below grade) of sample collection.
• Location of soil stockpiles, aeration piles, etc.
• Land features surrounding the site including; lakes, rivers, streams,
irrigation canals, wetlands, slope of local land surface, etc.
Identify all sample locations shown on your site map. Make sure your sample
numbers and locations are consistent with the identification labels used on the
chain-of-custody forms and the laboratory analytical reports.
If the site map becomes cluttered or confusing due to a large number of sample identification
labels, you may wish to use more than one sampling map, or use other techniques to identify
the sample locations. You may also include additional site maps showing contaminant iso-
concentration contours, geologic cross sections and groundwater elevation contours. You
should also present the sampling results in a table format so sample data can be easily
referenced to the sample locations marked on the site map.
3 Tier 1 Criteria
This section "Tier 1 Criteria", describes the environmental features and possible risks to
human health or the environment at the release site. These features help to determine risks
presented by your release site and its classification status. Site classification is a dynamic
process for prioritizing release sites according to the seriousness of the release. The
corresponding response action needed is based on the current and potential degree and
severity of hazards to human health or the environment. This process is evaluated on a case-
by-case basis and ensures that when maximum contaminant limits are exceeded, appropriate
response actions are taken to protect human health and the environment. Site classification
is based on the most recent data and reflects current site conditions. Since the risks posed by
contamination at any given release site are expected to change as more information is learned
about a site, a site may be re-classified. Please provide the following information:
•
•
•
•
Describe the current land use at, and surrounding the release site. It is
considered residential if a residence is located on, or adjacent to your site
in any direction.
Describe the naturally occurring soil type and the depth and location where
the samples were obtained. Unified soil classification (USC) is preferred;
however, a geologic field description is acceptable ( e.g., gravel, sand, silt,
clay, etc.), if done by a qualified person.
Indicate if you encountered groundwater at your site during UST closure,
investigation activities, or obtained groundwater information from other
sources. If so, indicate the groundwater depth (in feet) below the ground
surface at or near your site.
Groundwater flow direction can be determined if you have at least three
(3) groundwater monitoring wells properly installed at your site. You may
also be able to determine groundwater flow direction from other wells
installed at a nearby LUST release site. Describe which method you used
to determine groundwater flow direction.

Information) conducted at the release site.
Nature of the Release and Abatement
Measures
In this section, you provide details about the release, including age, condition and contents of
the UST. You are also required to perform and report abatement measures to stop the source of
contamination and to prevent further releases of contamination. Describe the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Age and condition of the UST system, including piping and tanks, corrosion
holes, soil staining or odor, sheen on surface of groundwater or surface water.
Types and amount ofproduct(s) stored in the USTs, and the type and
estimated amount of product released into the environment.
Cause and location of the release such as the tank, dispenser island, piping,
overfills and spills, etc.
The method(s) used for detecting contamination .
The location of where the contaminated soil or groundwater was either
properly disposed of, or is currently being stockpiled or stored.
All stockpiled or aerated soils should be managed in accordance with the DERR'S
"Guidelines for Disposition and Treatment of Petroleum-Contaminated Soils". Prior
to aeration, approval must be obtained from the local health department, the Utah
Division of Air Quality and the DERR. Contact your DERR project manager for
assistance with these aeration requirements.
• If contaminated soils are overexcavated, or if groundwater is removed from
the release site, confirmation soil or groundwater samples must be taken to
confirm that the levels of contamination remaining in-place are at or below
established clean-up levels.
• Determine the total volume, contaminant type(s) and concentration(s) of the
removed groundwater or soil, and any soil or groundwater contamination
remaining in-place.
• Determine the volume, concentration and disposal method or location used for
well development or purge water, groundwater, excavation water or other
waste water, etc.
• Collect representative environmental samples (soil, groundwater, etc.) to
define the nature, extent and degree of the contamination at the site.
Information regarding the results of the investigation and plans for future
work, if any, should be included in the "Conclusions and Recommendations"
section of the report.
• Consult with your DERR project manager or your environmental consultant
prior to any confirmation sampling. There may be site-specific requirements
necessary for site close-out. See "Sampling Procedures and Requirements"
(page 11) for general descriptions of analytical testing requirements for
various types of petroleum contamination.
IMPORTANT: You must IMMEDIATELY begin removal of any free petroleum product in
excess of 1/8 inch thick. Refer to the enclosed Free Product Removal

Subsurface Investigation Report Guide
Be sure to check with your DERR project manager or your environmental consultant if you have any
questions regarding your sampling program or corrective action plan requirements. Some suggestions or
ideas to consider when developing your sampling, operation or maintenance plan may include:
Take both types of samples ( e.g., soil and groundwater) if groundwater was encountered
during the course of soil sampling.
Take two or more soil samples in selected locations to better define the vertical extent of
contamination. This data will aid in clean-up or closure evaluations.
Conduct continuous sampling of soil boring(s) or collect multiple samples per location to
better define the native soil type, contaminated interval or vertical profile, geological
features and related items.
Upgrade your analytical method(s) to get more complete information during the initial
sampling events and minimize re-sampling events.
Have enough budget set aside to be flexible in the number of actual samples submitted for
laboratory analyses, or the number of soil borings or groundwater monitoring wells drilled,
etc.
Check with other regulatory agencies to ensure sampling meets with their requirements for
waste disposal or other related items.
Obtain any necessary off-site access agreements or highway easements for potential work
outside your property boundaries in determining the extent and degree of subsurface soil
and groundwater contamination.
For vapor, air, or any other type of environmental sampling, determine the appropriate
analytical method and sampling procedures prior to field collection.

(PST) Trust Fund. A separate guide is used for PST funded sites.
Cleanup levels (Attachment A) for LUST sites will be established using the criteria and
standards required by Utah Admin. Code R311-211, in order to protect human health and the
environment at the release site, and other impacted areas. Depending on site conditions, initial
screening levels (ISLs), Tier 1 Screening Levels, or site-specific cleanup levels are used for
appropriate cleanup standards.
A CAP describes the cleanup method selected to cleanup a LUST site to the established cleanup
levels. After the nature and extent of a release has been defined, the Division of Environmental
Response and Remediation (DERR) will require a CAP. The CAP must be approved by the
DERR prior to implementation.
The DERR evaluates a CAP based on:
• A discussion and comparison of all applicable and appropriate cleanup methods
• The technical and economic feasibility of each method
• The ability of the cleanup method selected to achieve cleanup standards
1. Corrective Action Plan Meeting
A CAP meeting with the LUST project manager (PM), Responsible Party (RP), Certified UST
Consultant, and property owner is recommended prior to preparing a CAP to discuss:
• Cleanup standards
• Cleanup options (including monitored natural attenuation (MNA), risk assessment,
pilot testing, site controls)
• Confirmation sampling
• Cost effectiveness
• Public notification requirements
• Technical specifications requirements and construction requirements
• Project timeframes and milestones
• Operation and maintenance requirements
• Reporting requirements

2. Corrective Action Plan Components
A CAP should be submitted that details the requirements discussed in the meeting. The items
bulleted in the CAP Meeting Section should be considered when developing the CAP, if a CAP
meeting was not conducted. The remainder of this guide contains the information necessary for
putting together the CAP. Use of this guide will ensure the CAP is complete and will minimize
the DERR's review time. The following components should be included in the CAP:
a) Introduction
The CAP introduction should include a discussion of the following topics:
• The facility identification number, release site number and location or address of the
release site
• The purpose and objectives of the corrective action
• A brief description of the work completed at the site
• Project timeframes and milestones
b) Corrective Action Comparison and Selection
This section should summarize the cleanup options being considered. The feasibility and
cost-effectiveness of the selected technology should be discussed in detail based on soil
type, depth to groundwater, extent of contamination, contaminant characteristics,
hydraulic conductivity, and current and future land use.
c) Corrective Action Design and Construction Details
This section should contain design and construction details of the selected corrective
action technology and may include the following:
• Appropriately scaled drawings of system components, showing locations and details
• Design criteria and supporting manufactures specifications
• Calculations for sizing equipment
• Operations and maintenance specifications and schedule
• Safety and security measures
• A sampling and monitoring schedule
• An emergency response plan
• Estimated efficiency of the system and the expected duration
• Any other technical specifications
• Soil aeration or disposal details (refer to Guidelines for Disposition and Treatment
of Petroleum Contaminated Soils from Underground Storage Tank Sites

d) Permitting Requirements
Various regulatory agencies may need to be notified during the course of remediating
petroleum releases. Refer to Permitting and Other Approvals information in Attachment
C for more information.
e) Public Notification
Prior to implementing any corrective action, the potentially affected public must be
notified of the corrective action. Public notification is required by a means designed to
reach the segment of the public who may be directly affected by the release or the
corrective action process. These methods may include personal contact or notice, notice
in newspapers or flyers, or other appropriate methods. Planned public notice distribution
details should be included. If significant concerns are raised by impacted individuals
and/or businesses, a public meeting may be necessary.
Attachment B provides a template for public notice, which should be submitted with the
CAP. The public notice should include all requirements outlined in the Public Notice
Template.
f) Sampling Plan and Monitoring Schedule
This section should include the sampling plan and/or a monitoring and maintenance
schedule during the cleanup process. Remediation progress reports may be necessary
during cleanup activities and should be included. This section and plan should include the
sampling methodology and laboratory analytical methods. The type, location/depth,
frequency and rationale for all samples should also be included.
3. Corrective Action Plan Approval
The LUST PM reviews the CAP for completeness. If the CAP does not meet the specified
requirements, the DERR issues a ‘Corrective Action Plan Comments’ letter detailing the
deficiencies.
Once the CAP addresses all applicable items, the DERR issues a ‘Notice of Approval to Proceed
with the Public Notification Process.’ The RP or consultant then proceeds with the public
notification process as outlined in the approval letter.
UTAH DEPARTMENT of
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE
& REMEDIATION
NON-PST CAP Guide MAY 2017 Page 4
Verification of the public notification must be provided to the LUST PM. This verification may
consist of newspaper documentation, certified mail receipts, or a list of the households and
businesses which are potentially affected and who have been notified. If significant concerns are
raised by impacted individuals and/or businesses, a public meeting may be necessary.
After the public notification process is complete, the DERR issues a ‘Corrective Action Plan
Approval’ Letter. Implementation should be initiated as outlined in the CAP approval letter.
4. Corrective Action Reporting
After the CAP has been implemented, a corrective action report must be submitted that
documents the work completed. A final report, including confirmation sampling results, will be
required after the corrective action is complete and the site is ready for close-out. This report
verifies the effectiveness of the corrective action and documents that cleanup levels have been
achieved. Depending on the corrective action selected, the report may include the following:
• Summary of field activities
• As-built drawings and construction details
• Tabulated analytical data and laboratory reports
• Soil boring logs and/or well construction details
• Scaled maps showing all environmental sample locations and receptors
• Groundwater gradient maps
• Soil and groundwater iso-concentration maps
• Other agency permits or approval letters
• Photographs and other supporting information
• Volumes of soil and groundwater removed and/or treated
• Estimated residual contamination volumes
• Waste disposal methods, location, and documentation (waste manifests)
• Information regarding the results/effectiveness of the corrective action
• Proposed modifications to the approved CAP
• Plans for future work
• Ongoing reporting schedule and details

Dear Mr. Singh,
On March 14, 2025, the Utah Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified (EIR # 19553; attached) of a petroleum hydrocarbon release to
Hyrum City’s stormwater system. Further investigation determined that the source of the release was likely above ground storage tanks (ASTs)
and associated infrastructure located at 325 West Main St. in Hyrum UT. The investigation also determined that, in addition to the city’s storm
water system, downstream surface waters had also been impacted – including the Salt Hollow Park Pond and tributary as well as downstream
canal networks. As owners and/or operators of the property at 325 West Main St. in Hyrum, UT - you and/or the entity you represent have been
identified as the responsible party in association with this incident.
You are hereby requested to provide the Utah Division of Water Quality with a report detailing the cause of the incident, procedures used for
cleanup thus far, and proposed plans for remaining cleanup and disposal pursuant to Utah Code 19-5-114 and Utah Administrative Code R317-
6-6.15.B. Please submit this report no later than March 25, 2025, within 5 business days.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me at (385) 552-1478 or bquirk@utah.gov.
Sincerely,
--
