APPRAISAL

Administrative

This retention is based on that of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits. Similar records are kept in the permit files and can be used for enforcement. State action could be taken under UCA 78-38-1, 26-11-16, 76-8-504, or 76-10-801. The maximum statute of limitation under these provisions is four years. Federal statutes are vaguer. However, EPA keeps its files open for nine year. That standard is being followed here.
