Participant Incentives

All Clean Utah participants are eligible to participate in publicity and an annual meeting with DEQ policy leaders.

Incentives for Tier Two and Three will be negotiated, based on site-specific conditions and the ability of the DEQ program to provide them. The Clean Utah application includes a space for the applicant to indicate the incentives of interest.

Incentives may include:

• Selected permit enhancements
• Facility specific incentives
• Recommendation for a reduced percentage or higher priority on loan funds. (This incentive is conditional, based on the approval of the appropriate Board.)
• Reduced Oversight and/or low inspection priority
• Self audit

In addition, participants may be eligible for incentives offered by EPA under its Performance Track program. Eligibility will be determined as part of the application review process.

The Clean Utah logo may be used by participants in Tiers Two and Three. Participation in these Tiers may also be considered by DEQ Boards under the compliance history and good faith components of civil penalty applications.

In the case of a multi-site company, the incentives – including logos and other designations - may only be used for those facilities that have formally been admitted into Clean Utah.
