RE: Notification of Voluntary Cleanup Program Application for the Fleet Block Site and
Impact to LUST Facilities ID 4000835 and 4001789

Dear Mr. Howell and Mr. Pecorelli,

This letter serves as a notification that Salt Lake City has submitted an application to enroll the Fleet
Block site (Parcel 15-12-251-001-0000) into the Division of Environmental Response and
Remediation’s (DERR) Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP). The site is located at 850 South 300
West and was historically used as the City’s fleet facility.

There are two Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) facilities within the property that were
investigated and remediated under the DERR’s Petroleum Storage Tank (PST) Program and will be
impacted by this process:
• LUST Facility ID 4000835
o Former fueling station and associated underground storage tanks.
o No Further Action letter issued August 23, 2018. Facility closed above Tier 1
standards.
• LUST Facility ID 4001789
o Former gasoline tank.
o No further Action letter issued December 4, 1992. Facility closed below Tier 1
standards.

Salt Lake City intends to subdivide the property into parcels with midblock streets and walkways.
The northern parcels are slated for mixed-use development, including residential and retail
components. In addition, the City’s Public Lands Department will develop a three-acre public open
space in the southeastern corner of the block.

We understand that this planned change in land use may trigger additional requirements under PST
regulations, particularly since the original closure determinations were based on a commercial land
use scenario. Salt Lake City acknowledges that separate and potentially distinct processes may be
necessary to ensure that the requirements of both the PST and VCP programs are met. We further
understand that VCP project managers are willing to coordinate with PST staff to align PST
requirements with the VCP process.
