U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY (EPA)

BACKGROUND
The site, located in Santaquin, Utah, was a fruit
orchard planted in the 1930’s and it operated until
2003. Perceived petroleum contamination was
preventing the owners from selling the property for
redevelopment because two underground storage
tanks and one aboveground storage tank were still on
site. The City of Santaquin contacted the UDEQ
inquiring what could be done to bring this site back
into beneficial reuse.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
UDEQ prepared technical specifications for the
investigation and removal field services.

In January 2013, UDEQ completed assessment and
tank removal work at the site using EPA grant
monies. All of the sample results were below
program cleanup levels.

“No Further Action” letter issued in 2013 by
UDEQ stating environmental issues had been
resolved. The underutilized property is now ready
for revitalization efforts to begin.
