Re:Notice of Non-Compliance for Underground Storage Tank Violations
Sunset Gas Chevron, located at 927 West Sunset Boulevard, St. George, Utah
Facility Identification No. 6000423
Dear Vasu Patel:
The Utah Underground Storage Tank Act (Act) imposes certain obligations on the owner
or operator of a facility having underground storage tanks (USTs). The Act authorizes the Director
of the Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (Division Director) to enforce the Act
and rules promulgated thereunder by issuing notices and orders. At the request of the Division
Director, the Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (DERR) performed a compliance
review for the facility owned or operated by you. This facility contains three USTs and is located at
927 West Sunset Boulevard, St. George, Utah. The designated Facility Identification Number is
6000423.
The compliance review indicates you have not satisfied the requirements of the Act and
regulations. To achieve compliance, you must do all of the following within 60 days of the date
of this letter:
1. Submit documentation to show that you have had a qualified cathodic protection tester
test your cathodic protection system within the last three years. Failure to have a
cathodic protection test performed within the last three years may result in re-training
for the class B operator.
The Act, Utah Code Ann. §§ 19-6-407 and 19-6-408, gives the Division Director the authority
to assess a civil penalty of $1,000.00 if an owner or operator of an UST fails to register the tank or
fails to pay fees within 60 days of due date, and to assess interest on the unpaid registration fee
balance. Under Utah Code Ann. § 19-6-425, other violations of the Act, rules, or orders may result in
civil penalties of up to $10,000.00 per day. Failure to comply with the Act and regulations may also
result in revocation of your certificate of compliance under Utah Code Ann. § 19-6-414.
Facility ID# 6000423

Failure to comply with the requirements of the Act and rules may result in the issuance of a
Notice of Violation and Order and/or a Notice of Agency Action and the assessment of a civil penalty.
If your facility remains out of compliance with the requirements outlined above, the class A/B
operator may be subject to re-training requirements and must successfully complete an appropriate
training course and examination.
If you have any questions, please contact Phillip Lundell, the DERR project manager, at
[phone].
Sincerely,
Brent H. Everett, Director
Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
