Re:Subsurface Investigation Reporting and Requirements
Pilot Thomas Logistics #140, located at 380 South 200 East, Roosevelt, Utah
Facility Identification No. 9000055, Release Site OKA
Dear Mr. Lewis:

A release of petroleum from a petroleum storage tank (PST) at the above-referenced site
was reported on February 19, 2024, to the Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
(DERR). The reported release was based on a diesel spill event attributed to a customer overfill
event. The DERR has assigned Release Site OKA to the reported release.

According to Utah Administrative Code R311-202, you are required to report, control, abate,
and characterize Release OKA by defining the extent and degree of petroleum contamination and
remediate (clean up) the releases. 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 made the
recommendation that additional investigation work is required. The project manager has relied on
the information provided and has not made an independent investigation of the facility. The intent
of performing the investigation is to define the extent and degree of 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 90 days of your receipt of this letter.

Requirements for an SIR are detailed in the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST)
Subsurface Investigation Report Guide (May 2014), which can be found on our website:
https://documents.deq.utah.gov/environmental-response-and-remediation/ust-lust/leaking-undergr
ound-storage-tanks-remedial-assistance/lust-subsurface-investigation-report-guide.pdf.

Facility ID# 9000055

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).
Upon submitting your SIR, the investigation results will be evaluated to determine if no
further action (closeout) is needed or if additional work is necessary. This additional work may
consist of performing additional investigation activities, conducting cleanup, implementing
environmental monitoring and/or performing a risk assessment.

During the 2014 Utah Legislative Session, Section 19-6-420(10)(1) 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 $115.00 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 concerning this letter or completing the required reports, please
contact Mark Crim, the DERR project manager, at [phone]
Sincerely,
Brent H. Everett, Director
Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
