Program: Air Quality

Function

The mission of the Division of Air Quality is to protect public health, property and vegetation in Utah from the effects of air pollution. In order to accomplish its mission, this division is divided into the following three branches: (1) Air Standards Branch, (2) Permitting Branch, and (3) Planning Branch. A brief description follows of each Section within the 3 branches.

Stationary Source Compliance Section

The Compliance Section is responsible for ensuring that the requirements of the Utah Air Conservation Act are met. This is done by the inspection and enforcement activities of all industrial air pollution sources located throughout the State. The Division regulates over 1,800 sources through approval orders.

Hazardous Air Pollutant Section

The Hazardous Air Pollutant Section's mission is to investigate and ensure compliance with the Utah Air Conservation Regulations. This is done through site inspections, asbestos project notification reviews, and technical assistance to the public and the regulated community, and through enforcement actions.

Air Monitoring Section

The Air Monitoring Section is responsible for the collection of accurate and precise ambient air pollution data in the State of Utah for use by industry and by local, state and federal agencies. Air pollution data are collected 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Major and Minor New Source Review Sections

The functions of these Sections are mainly related to regulation of the emissions of air contaminants from "stationary sources" (industrial sources). This involves reviewing the design of all new or modified stationary sources to determine that the source will be able to comply with the Utah Administrative Code (UAC) and the Federal Air Quality Regulations. This accomplished by issuing a construction permit call an Approval Order. To facilitate the workload, the New Source Review Section was divided into Major New Source Review and Minor New Source Review Sections.

Operating Permit Section

The Federal Clean Air Act Amendments require a program be developed in all states to issue renewable operating permits to specific large of major air pollution sources and provide special technical assistance.

SIP/Rules Development Section

This section is responsible for the development and maintenance of the State Implementation Plans (SIP) for the control of carbon monoxide, ozone, sulfur oxides, and particulate matter. This involves the analysis of monitoring data collected by the monitoring section to determine compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the determination of the sources of any violations of the standards.

Technical Analysis Section

This section is responsible for a wide variety of tasks, including dispersion modeling, geographic information systems (GIS), and the division's database coordination.

Mobile Sources Section

This section is responsible for issues dealing with emissions from vehicles. One of the key measures of the efficiency of Air Quality Division is the time necessary to process a permit application. Over the past ten years there has been steady and remarkable improvement in this measure. The division has reduced the time from over 250 days in 1995 to approximately 100 days in 2005. For critical energy projects that processing time was approximately 70 days. These numbers include a 30 day public comment period.

The Air Quality Division is responsible to measure air quality as outlined in by the federal air quality health standards. During the past year the Division reported that no violations to these standards. The Divisions also has measured performance of the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants. These standards were implemented and facilities measured are complying.

Program: Environmental Response/Remediation

Function

The mission of the Division of Environmental Response and Remediation is to protect the health and the environment of the citizens of Utah from exposure to hazardous substances. This is accomplished by the following means:

Responding to imminent hazards
Implementation of corrective actions (clean-up)
Providing educational services to the public
Ensuring compliance with regulations, and
Managing risks and hazards

The major functions of the division include the following:

Conduct site investigations
Negotiate and coordinate clean-up activities
Encourage voluntary cleanup of contaminated sites
Perform risk assessments
Enforcement activities
Compliance activities
Certification training
Establish design and operation standards
Coordinate emergency response and planning
Coordinate division safety program
Collect and analyze chemical inventory and usage data
Coordinate cost recovery actions
Release prevention inspections and education
Provide the public with chemical inventory of usage data

The Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (DERR) was created from the Bureau of Solid and Hazardous Waste (BSHW) on July 1, 1990, to more effectively administer the rapidly expanding role of three federal environmental laws: The Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Subtitle I, Regulation of Underground Storage Tanks.

The Division is organized into two major branches - the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act Branch (CERCLA) and the Underground Storage Tank Branch (UST).

Through cooperative agreements with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Division is involved either in a leading or a supporting role in all hazardous waste sites in the State which are included or are being investigated for inclusion on the National Priorities List established by the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). Currently, there are approximately 460 Utah sites on the active and/or archived CERCLIS list, 19 of which are finalized on the National Priorities List (NPL), and four of which are proposed for the NPL. Nine NPL sites have been cleaned up but not delisted. Long term monitoring is still required at all of the sites. The four proposed NPL sites include KUCC North, KUCC South, Murray Smelter, and Richardson Flats sites.

The Division administers the Underground Storage Tank (UST) program which is charged with enforcing state and federal underground storage tank regulations in the State. The Underground Storage Tank Section conducts compliance inspections at underground storage tank facilities and coordinates interaction with local health departments under contract to conduct inspection and compliance work. The UST section administers various certification programs for underground storage tank installers and removers, inspectors, precision tank testers, groundwater, and soil samplers, and consultants. Additionally, the section reviews and approves plans for closure of tanks, helps owners receive coverage under the State's Petroleum Storage Tank (PST) Fund, presents public information outreaches, and pursues tank compliance actions. The UST program has established standards for the design, installation, closure, operation and monitoring of regulated underground storage tanks. Local health departments are utilized to assist in conducting inspections and providing complaint response at a local level.

The LUST Remedial Assistance Section has the responsibility for overseeing clean-up activities at leaking underground storage tank sites. This section monitors compliance with schedules and public information schedules, approves corrective action technology, directs site investigations and remediation work performed by approved state contractors on leaking underground storage tank trust sites and state clean-up appropriation sites, takes compliance actions against responsible parties at leaking underground storage tank sites, and responds to tank emergencies.

The PST Remediation section is responsible for administering the Petroleum Storage Tank Fund, which is a state trust fund established to provide financial assurance for underground storage tank owners to clean up releases from their tanks. Claims against the fund are processed, clean-up work reviewed and approved, and assistance given to underground storage tank owners to complete the clean-up process. An independent accounting firm conducts and actuarial analysis of the PST Fund annually. The draft actuarial report for FY2008 projects a positive cash balance for the next 10 years. According to the draft report, the cash balance will decline for the next 10 years with a balance of $9.2 million in the year 2018.

Final authorization from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to administer the federal rules for the Underground Storage Tank program in Utah has been received
