    NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

    Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

    Section 19-6-403 of the Utah Underground Storage Tank (UST) Act gives the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board authority to regulate USTs and petroleum storage tanks, and make rules for administration of the petroleum storage tank program. Subsection 19-6-105(1)(g) of the Solid and Hazardous Waste Act gives the Board the authority to establish standards governing USTs. Section 19-6-402 of the UST Act provides definitions for terms pertinent to the underground storage tank program, including "Certified underground storage tank consultant", and refers to consultant education and experience standards established by the Board.

    Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

    No comments on this rule have been received since the last five-year review.

    Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

    The rule is necessary for continued operation of the Underground Storage Tank program. It specifies the requirements for UST closure plans, specifies labeling requirements and acceptable disposal methods for USTs that have been removed, and specifies when remedial activities may take place without the supervision of a certified UST consultant. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
