Utah Admin. Code R307-401-16 - Soil Aeration Projects

Section R307-401-16 applies to soil aeration projects used to conduct soil remediation.

(1) The owner or operator of a soil aeration project is not subject to the notice of intent and approval order requirements of Sections R307-401-5 through R307-401-8, if the following conditions are met:
(a) emissions of volatile organic compounds from a given soil aeration project are less than 5 tons per year; and
(b) emission rates of hazardous air pollutants are below their respective threshold values contained in Subsection R307-410-(1)(c)(i)(C).
(2) The owner or operator shall submit documentation to the director demonstrating the project meets the exemption criteria in Subsection R307-401-16(1). The owner or operator shall receive approval from the director for the exemption before beginning the remediation project. Required documentation includes:
(a) calculated emissions of volatile organic compounds and estimated emission rates of hazardous air pollutants from any soils to be treated from the soil aeration project.
(b) Emission calculations shall be based on soil samples of the soils to be remediated. Samples shall be analyzed for volatile organic compounds and hazardous air pollutants using the most recent version of USEPA Test Method 8260, Method 8021, or other EPA approved testing methods acceptable to the director. Emission calculations should be based on the methodology in EPA guidance "Air Emissions from the Treatment of Soils Contaminated with Petroleum Fuels and Other Substances" (EPA-600/R-92-124) or other methodology acceptable to the director.
(c) Location where soil aeration will occur and where the remediated material originated.
(3) The owner or operator is exempt from the reporting requirements in Subsection R307-401-16(2) if excavated soils are disposed of at a disposal or treatment facility, such as a landfill, solid waste management facility, or a landfarm facility, that is owned or operated by a third party and operates under an existing approval order.
