operators that conduct ground-water 

monitoring are required to report 

information to the oversight agencies on 

releases of contaminants and to 

maintain records of ground-water 

monitoring data at their facilities. The 

goal of the ground-water monitoring 

program is to prevent and quickly detect 

releases of hazardous contaminants to 

groundwater, and to establish a program 

whereby any contamination is 

expeditiously cleaned up as necessary 

to protect human health and 

environment. Subtitle C of the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 

(RCRA) creates a comprehensive 

program for the safe management of 

hazardous waste. Section 3004 of RCRA 

requires owners and operators of 

facilities that treat, store, or dispose of 

hazardous waste to comply with 

standards established by EPA that are 

intended to protect the environment. 

Section 3005 provides for 

implementation of these standards 

under permits issued to owners and 

operators by EPA or authorized States. 

Section 3005 also allows owners and 

operators of facilities in existence when 

the regulations came into effect to 

comply with applicable notice 

requirements to operate until a permit is 

issued or denied. This statutory 

authorization to operate prior to permit 

determination is commonly known as 

‘‘interim status.’’ Owners and operators 

of interim facilities also must comply 

with standards set under Section 3004. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 118 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a agency. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; develop, 

acquire, install, and utilize technology 

and systems for the purposes of 

collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements; train personnel to be able 

to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Entities that operate surface 

impoundments, waste piles, land 

treatment units, and landfills which 

manage hazardous waste regulated 

under RCRA. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

824. 

Frequency of Response: Semi annual 

monitoring; additional sampling and 

monitoring may be required if 

contaminants are detected. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

96,913. 

Estimated Total Annualized Capital, 

O&M Cost Burden: $16,737,560. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended to persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose 

or provide information to or for a federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions, develop, acquire, 

install, and utilize technology and 

systems for the purposes of collecting, 

validating, and verifying information, 

processing and maintaining 

information, and disclosing and 

providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements, train personnel to be able 

to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources, 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information.

sedimentation; and impacts to late old 

succession stands, wildlife corridors, 

and security habitat. EPA recommended 

selection of a different or modified 

alternative that responds to these 

concerns.

Summary: EPA commented that the 

proposed project would be consistent 

with the Clean Water Act Section 

404(b)(1) Guidelines, contingent on the 

mitigation conditions contained in the 

final EIS, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service’s Coordination Act Report and 

Endangered Species Act Section 7 

consultation, and the Utah Department 

of Environmental Quality’s Clean Water 

Act Section 401 Water Quality 

Certification. EPA also provided 

suggestions for issues to be considered 

in the Record of Decision, including 

project purpose, alternatives analysis, 

definition of affected environment, 

water quality standards, potential 

impacts to aquatic resources, and water 

conservation.
