SUBJECT: Closure of AST Related Release and Transfer of AST case file to Division of
Water Quality
Lucas and Ashely Kay Property, located at 1777 East 1700 South, Naples, Utah
Facility Identification No. (9000389, Release NCE
A petroleum release was reported to the Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
(DERR), on November 12, 2013. The reported release was based on observations of petroleum-
impacted soil and groundwater occurring at the site of a home under construction at 1777 East
1700 South, Naples, Utah, the Kay property. On November 14, 2013, the DERR confirmed the
release by sampling soil and groundwater from the home site. Laboratory results from that effort
confirmed the presence of gasoline and diesel contaminants beneath the home. Initially, the source
of the contamination was not known, and subsequently, the DERR initiated an investigation to
determine if its source was from a leaking underground storage tank (LUST). On January 14-17,
2014, the DERR used Federal LUST Trust monies to conduct a subsurface investigation across
nearly four-block area, to determine the source of the petroleum release. Results of that study
suggest that the Western Petroleum/Pilot facility, located at 1521 South 1500 East, Naples, Utah,
is the primary source of the contamination found at the home under construction. Additionally, the
findings indicate that the highest levels of contamination are emanating from near the Western
Petroleum/Pilot facility's aboveground storage tank (AST) bulk plant.

On^Januafy 26; SOfc-Mthe DERR held a meeting with the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) to
discuss the results of its investigation, and to request that DWQ take over Release 'NCE'. The
DWQ currently manages another AST release (LWP) located at the same Western Petroleum/Pilot
facility.
DWQ's oversight, in this case, would eliminate redundant tracking of a petroleum spill known to
exist at the Western Petroleum/Pilot facility, and the need for the DERR to follow the established
MOU protocol, as set forth between the DERR and DWQ. DWQ accepted the DERR's request for
oversight of release 'NCE'. Therefore, I recommend that the case file (copy attached) be
transferred to the DWQ, and that a hardcopy of the release information be filed in the closed
LUST files.
