Re:Notice of Non-Compliance for Underground Storage Tank Violations
Dixie Medical Center, located at 544 South 400 East, St. George, Utah
Facility Identification No. 6000087

Dear Mr. McGee:

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 two USTs and
is located at 544 South 400 East, St. George, Utah. The designated Facility Identification Number
is 6000087.

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 that the liquid inside the tank is less than 1 inch or provide
valid leak detection records for the past 12 months for the north emergency generator
tank that is in temporary closure.

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
Facility ID# 6000087

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 Rick Saathoff, the DERR project manager, at
[phone].
Sincerely,
Brent H. Everett, Director
Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
