Subject: Administrative Order: “Not Approved” Rating Determination for Batemans Mosida
Farms UTAH25184
Dear Spencer Bateman:
Compliance with the standards and regulations for drinking water is critical to ensure safe, reliable
drinking water and to protect public health. The Bateman Mosida Farms UTAH25184 is in significant non-
compliance with its obligations under the Utah Safe Drinking Water Act and the Utah Drinking Water
Rules as well as the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. Therefore, the Utah Division of Drinking Water
(DDW) must downgrade the rating of the Bateman Mosida Farms to “Not Approved” status in accordance
with the Utah Drinking Water Rules.
An Administrative Order (Order) is being issued to Bateman Mosida Farms, LLC as owner
and/or operator of the Bateman Mosida Farms Water System, located in Utah County, directing
it to comply with the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations. The violation alleged in the Order
is for exceeding the maximum contaminant level for arsenic.
Arsenic in drinking water at levels that exceed regulatory limits causes severe health risks. It is a known
human carcinogen and is associated with various cancers, such as skin, bladder, lung, and kidney cancer.
Prolonged exposure to elevated arsenic levels can lead to skin issues, cardiovascular problems, and even
neurological impairments, particularly in children. Additionally, it can result in respiratory distress and
gastrointestinal problems. Pregnant women and developing fetuses are particularly vulnerable to the
adverse effects of arsenic exposure, including developmental issues and low birth weight. This is why
monitoring and controlling arsenic levels in drinking water is essential to protecting public health.
The enclosed Administrative Order (Order) is issued by the Utah Division of Drinking Water
under the authority of sections R309-400-2 and R309-400-4. Among other things, the Order alleges that
Bateman Mosida Farms, LLC, as owner and/or operator of the Bateman Mosida Farms Water System
(System), has violated the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 141 and the
state drinking water standards at Utah Admin. Code R309-200-5.
This Order is effective upon the date received. Please review the Order and within 10 days provide the
DDW with any information you believe the DDW may not have (e.g., any monitoring that may have been
done but not submitted, any updates to the numbers of connections and/or individuals served, etc.). If
Batemans Mosida Farms UTAH25184
Page 2
the DDW does not hear from Bateman Mosida Farms, the DDW will assume all current information is
correct.
If Bateman Mosida Farms complies with the Order, the DDW may close the Order without further action.
Failure to comply with the Order may lead to substantial civil penalties and/or a court injunction
ordering compliance.
Please be aware that Bateman Mosida Farms is required to submit to the DDW a plan and schedule for
bringing the System into compliance with the Drinking Water regulations. The DDW's approval of
Bateman Mosida Farms’ schedule does not substitute for any other approval that may be required by any
other governmental entity for modifying the System. The DDW encourages Bateman Mosida Farms to
contact any such governmental agency or agencies regarding any applicable approval requirements.
To submit information or request an informal conference with the DDW, please contact Colt Smith
via email at acsmith@utah.gov, or by phone at 385-515-1529. Any questions from Bateman Mosida
Farms’ attorney should be directed to Bret Randall, Utah Attorney General’s office, who may be reached
via email at bfrandall@utahag.gov, or by phone at (385) 414-0891. We urge your prompt attention to this
matter.
Enclosed is the Administrative Order: “Not Approved” Rating Determination. I encourage you to contact
me or my staff and to take the steps necessary to return to compliance as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Tim Davis

UTAH DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
DIVISION OF DRINKING WATER
In the Matter of:
Batemans Mosida Farms
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER: “NOT
APPROVED” RATING DETERMINATION
Docket No. UTAH25184-01-2023
This ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER: “NOT APPROVED” RATING DETERMINATION (“Order”),
relating to the Bateman Mosida Farms (the “System”), has been issued by the Director of the Utah Division
of Drinking Water (“Director”) based on the authorities and findings provided herein. Notice of this Order
is being provided to Bateman Mosida Farms LLC, a Utah Limited Liability Company, in its capacity as the
“Supplier” who is legally responsible for the System.
STATUTORY AND REGULATORY AUTHORITY
1. In 1974, Congress enacted the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. § 300f et
seq., as amended. 42 U.S.C. § 300g-2 allows states to achieve primary enforcement responsibility
after the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has determined that the state has adopted and
can implement a state program that is no less stringent than the federal public drinking water
program (“Primacy”).
2. The Utah legislature has enacted the Utah Safe Drinking Water Act, codified at Utah Code § 19-4-
101, with the intent of achieving Primacy.
3. Utah Code § 19-4-104 authorizes the Utah Drinking Water Board (the “Board”), among other
things, to make rules regulating public water systems in the state of Utah. Utah Code § 19-4-
104(1)(c)(vi) charges the Board to “meet the requirements of federal law related or pertaining to
drinking water.” The Board has promulgated the Utah Public Drinking Water Rules, codified at
Utah Administrative Code (“UAC”) R309.
4. In 1980, the EPA Administrator determined, in accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 142.11, that the Utah
public drinking water program met the federal requirements for Primacy. See 45 Fed. Reg. 6647
(January 29, 1980). In accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 142.17, the EPA Administrator has reviewed,
and continues to review annually, the Utah public drinking water program to evaluate its
continuing compliance with the requirements set forth in 40 C.F.R. Part 142.
5. The Board has defined public water systems under the Utah Public Drinking Water Rules, UAC
R309-110-4.
6. UAC R309-100-7 requires the Director to “assign a rating to each public water supply in order to
provide a concise indication of its condition and performance” in accordance with R309-400. This
rule is generally known as the Improvement Priority Rating (“IPS”) rating system.
7. The IPS rating system “is a point system used by the division to evaluate a public water system’s
performance and compliance with the drinking water rules in Title 309, Environmental Quality,
Drinking Water.” UAC R309-400-3(1). Under the IPS rating system, each public water system is
assigned a rating “to characterize the water system’s compliance with drinking water rules and
4
overall operation and performance.” UAC R309-400-3(2). The IPS rating system is “used by the
division to assign compliance ratings to public water systems and to prioritize enforcement action
based on points assessed for noncompliance with drinking water rules.” UAC R309-400-1(1).
8. UAC R309-400-4(1)(a)(ii) directs the Director to establish “the point thresholds for assigning an
Approved or Not Approved rating for each type of water system.” For systems exceeding the point
threshold, the Director may issue a “Not Approved” rating. The thresholds are as follows: (i) for
community water systems, 150 points; (ii) for non-transient, non-community water systems, 120
points; and (iii) for non-community water systems, 100 points.
9. UAC R309-400-4(4) allows the Director to assess points against public water systems upon their
failure to comply with Division directives and orders.
10. UAC R309-400-5(1)(b)(ii) allows the Director to rate any public water system as “Not Approved”
at any time if an immediate threat to public health exists.
11. UAC R309-400-5(1)(c) provides that a public water system may qualify for a “Corrective Action”
rating for its public water system “based on a current, written agreement with the division to
resolve underlying noncompliance according to a compliance schedule.”
12. Pursuant to Utah Code § 19-4-106(d), the Director may enforce rules promulgated by the Board
through the issuance of orders. See also UAC R309-100-8.
13. Utah Code § 19-4-107 provides that upon discovery of any violation of the Act or a rule of the
Board, the Director shall promptly notify the supplier of the violation, state the nature of the
violation, and issue an order requiring correction of that violation.
14. Utah Code § 19-4-109 provides that any person who violates the Act or a rule or order made or
issued pursuant to the Act may be subject to an administrative penalty of up to $1,000 per day of
violation or a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per day of violation.
FINDINGS
Based on information in the Division’s administrative files, the Director makes the following Findings for
purposes of this Order:
1. On March 31, 2021, the Director issued a Compliance Agreement / Enforcement Order (“March
31, 2021, CA/EO”). Supplier stipulated to the entry of the CA/EO.
2. In the CA/EO, the Director made the following findings, which are final and unappealable:
(a) There exists in Utah County, west of Utah Lake and Highway 68, a drinking water system
known as the Batemans Mosida Farms (the “System”) that serves approximately 90
persons. The System generally includes four active groundwater wells (WELL #1 - CW4
WS001, WELL #2 - CW11 WS002, WELL #3 - CW3 WS003, and WELL #4 - IW7
WS004 ), two active storage tanks, and an independent distribution piping serving fifteen
service connections.
(b) The Supplier is the owner and/or operator of the System and is therefore legally
responsible for the System and for compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
The Supplier qualifies as a “person” within the meaning of the Utah Safe Drinking Water
Act and the Utah Public Drinking Water Rules.
5
3. The System qualifies as a community system under the Utah Public Drinking Water Rules. The
maximum number of points allowed for this type of system is 150.
4. For the reasons stated in the IPS Report attached hereto the System has been assigned 740 points.
This number exceeds the threshold provided in the IPS Rule. The IPS Report is incorporated herein
by this reference.
5. The Director hereby ratifies and adopts the violations and deficiencies reflected in the Master IPS
Report, along with all previous actions by the Division that relate to such violations and
deficiencies. Such actions include sanitary surveys, notices of violation, and the assessment of
points for such violations and deficiencies, all as reflected in the Division’s administrative files
relating to the System.
6. Prior to issuing this Order, the Director provided the Supplier with notice of the System’s then-
current Master IPS report and afforded the Supplier with an opportunity to provide any rebuttal or
objections to the Director for consideration. Despite these notices, the Supplier has failed to reduce
the System point assessments below the threshold.
7. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Utah Division of Drinking Water have
set the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for arsenic in drinking water at 10 micrograms per
liter (µg/L). Arsenic in drinking water at levels that exceed regulatory limits causes severe health
risks. It is a known human carcinogen and is associated with various cancers, such as skin, bladder,
lung, and kidney cancer. Prolonged exposure to elevated arsenic levels can lead to skin issues,
cardiovascular problems, and even neurological impairments, particularly in children.
Additionally, it can result in respiratory distress and gastrointestinal problems. Pregnant women
and developing fetuses are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of arsenic exposure,
including developmental issues and low birth weight. This is why monitoring and controlling
arsenic levels in drinking water is essential to protecting public health. This standard is established
to control the concentration of arsenic in drinking water to safeguard public health. For systems
monitoring arsenic more than once per year, compliance with MCL is determined on the annual
average of individual sample results R309-205-5(1)(g).
8. Samples taken from WELL#1 - CW4 (WS001) January 9, 2020: 15.7µg/L, October 1. 2020:
17.3µg/L, January 25, 2021: 17.2 µg/L, May 19, 2021: 17.6 µg/L, August 12, 2021: 16.9 µg/L,

µg/L. These results constitute an annual average of 24 µg/L, which exceeds the established MCL.
9. Samples taken from WELL #2 - CW11 (WS002) on the following dates had the corresponding
results: January 9, 2020: 18.1 µg/L, October 1, 2020: 20.1 µg/L, November 19, 2020: 20.5 µg/L,
January 25, 2021: 20.4 µg/L, May 19, 2021: 20.1 µg/L, August 12, 2021: 47.4 µg/L, December 28,
2021: 22 µg/L, March 28, 2022: 20.6 µg/L, June 22, 2022: 25.8 µg/L, September 23, 2022: 19.9
µg/L, October 10, 2022: 20.5 µg/L, February 7, 2023: 19.6 µg/L, April 24, 2023: 20.3 µg/L, July
17, 2023: 16.9 µg/L. These results constitute an annual average of 19 µg/L, which exceeds the
established MCL.
10. Samples taken from WELL #3 - CW3 (WS003) on the following dates had the corresponding
results: January 9, 2020: 27.9 µg/L, October 1, 2020: 17.8 µg/L, November 19, 2020: 18.3 µg/L,
May 19, 2021: 16.6 µg/L, August 12, 2021: 16.8 µg/L, December 28, 2021: 13.9 µg/L, March 28,
2022: 36.3 µg/L, June 22, 2022: 26.1 µg/L, September 23, 2022: 24.1 µg/L, October 10, 2022:
19.8 µg/L, February 7, 2023: 17.1 µg/L, April 24, 2023: 18.4 µg/L, July 17, 2023: 17.3 µg/L These
results constitute an annual average of 18 µg/L, which exceeds the established MCL.
6
11. A sample taken from WELL #4 - IW7 (WS004) on January 9, 2020, the result was 19.3 µg/L. This
result is above the established MCL.
12. On December 1, 2020, the Director issued a Notice of Violation for exceeding the arsenic MCL on
WELL#1 - CW4 WS001.
13. On December 1, 2020, the Director issued a Notice of Violation for exceeding the arsenic MCL on
WELL #2 - CW11 WS002.
14. On December 1, 2020, the Director issued a Notice of Violation for exceeding the arsenic MCL on
WELL #3 - CW3 WS003.
15. On March 26, 2020, the Director executed a Compliance Agreement Enforcement Order, stipulated
by Supplier, providing Supplier additional time to address its outstanding deficiencies and their
arsenic MCL without accruing additional Notices of Violation for exceeding the arsenic MCL.
16. The March 31, 2021 CA/EO, amended the March 26, 2020 CA/EO by providing Supplier
additional time to address its outstanding deficiencies and their arsenic MCL. The Supplier agreed
to provide water meeting drinking water standards by July 9, 2022. To date, the Supplier has not
met the obligation.
17. On October 5, 2023, Utah Department of Environmental Toxicologist Scott Everett reviewed
Bateman Mosida Farms arsenic sample data and concluded a requirement to treat is appropriate
and based on the carcinogenic risk associated with arsenic ingestion the water not be consumed.
