Re:Notice of Non-Compliance for Petroleum Storage Tank Violations
Last Chance 12, 5505 West Amelia Earhart Drive, Salt Lake City
Facility ID 4002210
Dear Mr. Patel:
The Utah Petroleum Storage Tank Act (Act) imposes certain obligations on the owner or
operator of a facility having petroleum storage tanks (PSTs). 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 PSTs and is located at
5505 West Amelia Earhart Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah. The designated Facility Identification
Number is 4002210.
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 a copy of a current (performed in the last 12 months) precision line tightness
test for the product lines associated with USTs #1, #2, & #3.
2. Submit a copy of the current (performed in the last 12 months) test for proper
operation of the Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG).

3. Submit a copy of a current (performed in the last 12 months) test for proper operation
of the automatic line leak detectors on the pressurized product lines associated with
USTs #1, #2, & #3.
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 PST 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.
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 DeAnn Rasmussen, the DERR project manager,
at (385) 251-0936.
Sincerely,
Brent H. Everett, Director
Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
