This partnership concept, memorialized in the Performance Partnership Agreement (PPA), recognizes that each brings unique experience, capabilities, knowledge and resources to the table and that environmental issues can be more effectively addressed by maximizing these assets. An End of Year report is used by UDEQ and EPA to jointly evaluate the partnership's success in achieving the environmental program goals, measures and commitments contained in this agreement and to jointly plan for next year's PPA. The evaluation seeks to determine whether the work undertaken in the PPA: 1. Addresses the stated strategic priorities and goals; 2. Achieves administrative cost savings; 3. Where appropriate, improves environmental results; and 4. Improves EPA/UDEQ working relationships. The End of Year Report documents the accomplishments of the Utah Department of Environmental Quality under the FFY 2023 Performance Partnership Agreement and Performance Partnership Grant. Utah DEQ appreciates the flexibility allowed by the PPA and PPG in meeting critical environmental goals and the burden reduction offered by a single end of year report. We remain committed to the PPA as an effective mechanism to “set out jointly-developed priorities and protection strategies” and to “work together to address priority needs.”1 1 https://www.epa.gov/ocir/national-environmental-performance-partnership-system-nepps##Per%20Par%20Agreements UDEQ GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Executive Director’s Office Business Assistance 4 End of Year components for FY23 are available in the UTWorkplanRevisedMarch2023 document on MS Teams.

Incorporate targeted USEPA national and regional priorities as agreed upon between DWQ and USEPA. Consider planning inspections to complement timing and focus on watershed efforts. Inspections will be conducted in accordance with the mutually agreed to Annual State / EPA UPDES Compliance Inspection Plan (Inspection Plan), to the extent possible, incorporating the EPA NPDES Compliance and Monitoring Strategy (CMS) - July 21, 2014. (2) DWQ will submit an annual draft Inspection Plan to EPA by August 15 each year. DWQ will review and submit the final Inspection Plan to EPA by September 15 each year or within 15 of days of receiving EPA’s formal comments on the draft Inspection Plan if EPA comments are received later than August 31. FY23 and FY24 State Ongoing 11/10/23 Ongoing The Annual State/EPA UPDES Compliance Inspection plan will (a) include the universe of facilities subject to each CMS metric and number of compliance monitoring activities planned for the year. (b) If the Inspection Plan commitments do not meet the inspection goals listed in the EPA NPDES Compliance and Monitoring Strategy, the Inspection Plan will include adequate detail for EPA to understand: i- the overall approach proposed including the rationale for any deviations and tradeoffs; ii- a description of the affectected regulated universe(s); and iii- an explanation of how DWQ has determined that the resulting reduced/modified attention at certain facilities will not have negative public health or environmental impacts. In addition, the Inpsection plan should include the details always expected in a CMS plan (e.g., universe of facilities subject to each CMS metric and number of compliance monitoring activities planned for the year). (c) EPA may determine the number of inspections conducted at the end of the federal fiscal year (September 30) by DWQ in each category above by requesting this information from DWQ. DWQ will provide a list of inpsections performed for each category as indicated in the Inspection Plan in the form of ICIS reports, Excel spreadsheets, or any other format agreeable to DWQ and EPA. DWQ will enter all inspections into ICIS within 40 days of the completed activity, in accordance with 40 CFR Part 127, Appendix A, Table 1. Any inpsections performed on or before September 30, but which do not appear in ICIS by November 10 may not be counted in the end of year numbers. EPA Region 8 may conduct up to 6 oversight inpsections with DWQ each year. Additional inspections EPA Region 8 may conduct are included in and agreed to in the Inspection Plan. This includes inspections within EPA national and regional enforcement initiatives. Region 8 will ask DWQ to conduct single and/or multimedia inspections at federal facility NPDES majors with recurrent effluent violations. Region 8 will conduct these inspections if DWQ does not plan to conduct the inspections. Region 8 will ask authorized states to work with EPA to target federal facilities for multimedia inspections. DWQ will be asked to lead the NPDES portion of a multimedia inspection at the selected federal facility. If DWQ does not want to conduct the inspection then EPA will conduct the inspection in lieu of the State. Each year, EPA Region 8 may perform inspections at any Federal Facility construction sites that have been awarded contract dollars for site construction, in cooperation with DWQ inspectors.
