RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

This rule is being amended to reduce redundancy, and to clarify the requirements for conducting a proper site assessment for underground storage tank (UST) closures and leaking underground storage tank (LUST) site investigations.

Summary of the rule or change:

Section R311-205-2 is being modified to clarify appropriate laboratory analytical methods to be used when testing environmental samples for contaminant levels, and to simplify the redundant language used throughout the text. Similar site assessment requirements for tanks, piping, and dispenser islands have been consolidated to reduce redundancy. Some nonsubstantive language has been added or deleted to make the requirements easier to understand. Subsection R311-205-2(c) is being modified to simplify redundant language used throughout the text. Some nonsubstantive language has been added or deleted to make the requirements easier to understand. In Subsection R311-205-2(d), analytical requirements have been expanded for testing of an "unknown" product type. Typically, property transactions involving lending institutions are increasingly becoming more concerned with long-term liability, environmental cleanup costs and regulatory site closure. Therefore, it is important to determine the characteristics of the contaminants where it is not known what type of petroleum product was released. To assist prospective purchasers, current landowners, and lending institutions in minimizing their long-term liability concerns, the Division is requiring an unknown substance to be fully analyzed for the entire spectrum of possible petroleum-related contaminants.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Sections 19-6-205 and 19-6-413

Analytical Methods for Environmental Sampling at Underground Storage Tanks Sites in Utah (July 2004); and EPA Compendium of ERT Surface Water and Sediment Sampling Procedures, January 1991

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

Since this rule simply streamlines an existing program, there are no anticipated increases in staff time or administrative expenditures, and as such, there is no cost or savings anticipated at the state level for continued administration of the program.

local governments:

Since this rule simply streamlines an existing program, there are no anticipated increases in staff time or administrative expenditures, and as such, there is no cost or savings anticipated at the local level for continued administration of the program.

other persons:

The aggregate cost on a per year basis is approximately $3,000 (e.g., 10 unknown tanks found at $300 per tank for the additional laboratory analytical testing) for sampling for additional petroleum products when it is an "unknown" tank. However, unknown tanks are rarely found and when they are, a full analytical screening up-front will reduce later costs for remobilizing to the site to collect additional samples to test for the complete spectrum of contaminants as they are currently doing at the request of prospective purchasers or lending institutions.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

There will be an initial increase in costs by approximately $130 - $150 per sample or $260 - $300 per tank for persons sampling for additional petroleum products when it is an "unknown" tank. However, unknown tanks are rarely found and when they are, a full analytical screening up-front will reduce later costs for remobilizing to the site to collect additional samples to test for the complete spectrum of contaminants as they are currently doing at the request of prospective purchasers or lending institutions.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

This amended rule will help clarify the minimum requirements for conducting proper sampling methodologies at both UST and leaking underground storage tank sites by reducing redundant language and being more specific on analytical requirements for testing at UST sites where the prior usage is unknown or unclear.
