Utah Admin. Code R315-264-15 - General Facility Standards - General Inspection Requirements
(a) The owner or operator shall inspect their
facility for malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors, and discharges
that may be causing, or may lead to, release of hazardous waste constituents to
the environment or a threat to human health. The owner or operator shall
conduct these inspections often enough to identify problems in time to correct
them before they harm human health or the environment.
(b)
(1) The
owner or operator shall develop and follow a written schedule for inspecting
monitoring equipment, safety and emergency equipment, security devices, and
operating and structural equipment, such as dikes and sump pumps, that are
important to preventing, detecting, or responding to environmental or human
health hazards.
(2) The owner or
operator shall keep this schedule at the facility.
(3) The schedule shall identify the types of
problems, for example, malfunctions or deterioration, that are to be looked for
during the inspection, for example, inoperative sump pump, leaking fitting,
eroding dike.
(4) The frequency of
inspection may vary for the items on the schedule. However, the frequency
should be based on the rate of deterioration of the equipment and the
probability of an environmental or human health incident if the deterioration,
malfunction, or operator error goes undetected between inspections. Areas
subject to spills, such as loading and unloading areas, shall be inspected
daily when in use. At a minimum, the inspection schedule shall include the
items and frequencies called for in Sections

Rule R315-270 requires the inspection schedule to be submitted with part B of
the permit application. The director shall evaluate the schedule along with the
rest of the application to ensure that it adequately protects human health and
the environment. As part of this review, the director may modify or amend the
schedule as may be necessary.
(c) The owner or operator shall remedy any
deterioration or malfunction of equipment or structures that the inspection
reveals on a schedule that ensures that the problem does not lead to an
environmental or human health hazard. If a hazard is imminent or has already
occurred, remedial action shall be taken immediately.
(d) The owner or operator shall record
inspections in an inspection log or summary. The owner or operator shall keep
these records for at least three years from the date of inspection. At a
minimum, these records shall include the date and time of the inspection, the
name of the inspector, a notation of the observations made, and the date and
nature of any repairs or other remedial actions.
