Re:Subsurface Investigation Reporting and Requirements
SAPP Bros., Salt Lake, located at 1953 California Avenue, Salt Lake City, Utah
Facility Identification No. 4001983, Release Site NXT
Dear Mr. Stephenson:
A release of petroleum from a Petroleum Storage Tank (PST) at the above-referenced site
was reported on June 15, 2020 to the Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
(DERR) based on a leak in the gasoline fuel line inside dispenser 7/8. According to Utah
Administrative Code R311-202, you are required to report, control, abate, and characterize the
release by defining the extent and degree of petroleum contamination and remediate (clean up) the
release. These regulations require that you prepare specific reports addressing the release and submit
them to the DERR within specified time frames following the release.

The DERR project manager has reviewed the release report information and has made the
recommendation that additional information is needed to determine if subsurface investigation work
is required. The project manager has relied on the information provided and has not made an
independent investigation of the facility. If information concerning the volume of product released,
line repair details, and the removal and disposal of any impacted soil or groundwater from the repair
excavation is available, please provide this to the DERR within 60 days of your receipt of this letter.
Alternately, if such information is not available, a subsurface investigation is required. The
intent of performing the investigation is to define the extent and degree of subsurface petroleum
contamination and evaluate the potential risks to human health and the environment. A Subsurface
Investigation Report (SIR) outlining the results of the investigation must be submitted to the DERR
within 90 days of your receipt of this letter.

Facility ID# 4001983

Requirements for an SIR are detailed in the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST)
Subsurface Investigation Report Guide (May 2014), which can be found on our website:
https://documents.deq.utah.gov/environmental-response-and-remediation/ust-lust/leaking-undergr
ound-storage-tanks-remedial-assistance/lust-subsurface-investigation-report-guide.pdf.

If you hire a consultant to perform work related to this release, they must be a Certified PST
Consultant (Utah Admin. Code R311-201-2).

Upon submitting your release abatement details, and/or the SIR, the results will be evaluated
to determine if no further action (closeout) is appropriate or if additional work is necessary. This
additional work may consist of performing additional investigation activities, conducting cleanup,
implementing environmental monitoring and/or performing a risk assessment.

If you have any questions, please contact Eileen Brennan, the DERR project manager, at
[phone].
Sincerely,

Brent H. Everett, Director
Division of Environmental Response and Remediation
