Director January 23, 2024 ANDREW CLARK BEECHER CAMPS BEN LOMOND-SHAWNEE 50 E NORTH TEMPLE ST, RM 1205 SALT LAKE CITY, UT 84150-6320 Subject: Notice of Violation – CAMPS BEN LOMOND-SHAWNEE - UTAH29062 ANDREW CLARK BEECHER: Our records show this water system is in violation of the State of Utah Public Drinking Water Rules. The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) is missing analytical results for the following analytes and compliance periods in 2023: Compliance Period Start Date Compliance Period End Date Analyte Facility Name Facility Code 10/1/2023 12/31/2023 NITRATE MEMBRANE SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT TP001 Failure to collect these samples is in violation of Utah Administrative Code Rule 309-205. The violations result in the addition of points to this system’s Improvement Priority System (IPS) report for each missing sample and could adversely affect this water system’s rating (see R309- 400). To resolve this violation, please collect the missing sample as soon as possible within the next 30 days. Upon receipt of results, we will resolve the violation and remove the points from the system’s IPS report. Additionally, please notify the Division if this letter is in error. ANDREW CLARK BEECHER Page 2 of 2 January 23, 2024 In accordance with the public notice requirements given in R309-220-7, the system must notify all its consumers of this violation within one year after the system learns of the violation. Please reference the enclosed public notice template for guidance. Non community water systems must provide notice using one or more of the following methods:  Posting the notice in conspicuous locations throughout the distribution system frequented by persons served by the system  Mail or direct delivery to each customer and service connection  Another method reasonably calculated to reach other persons served by the system. Other methods include publication in a local newspaper/newsletter, email to students or employees, or delivery of multiple copies in central locations (e.g., community centers) A copy of the notice you send to the system’s consumers must be approved by the Division. Please send a copy of the notice to the Division at ddwreports@utah.gov and dbkruse@utah.gov prior to issuing the notice. Please contact David Kruse at (385) 566-7789 or (dbkruse@utah.gov) if you have any questions or need assistance. Sincerely, Mark Berger Monitoring and Standards Section Manager Enclosure: Public Notice Template cc: ANDREW CLARK BEECHER, CAMPS BEN LOMOND-SHAWNEE, andrew.beecher@churchofjesuschrist.org Scott Braeden, WEBER-MORGAN HEALTH DEPT, sbraeden@co.weber.ut.us Mark Berger, Division of Drinking Water, mberger@utah.gov David Kruse, Division of Drinking Water, dbkruse@utah.gov Instructions for Monitoring Violations Annual Notice – Chemical Monitoring (Tier 3) Template on Reverse Since most monitoring violations are included in Tier 3, you must provide public notice to persons served within one year after you learn of the violation (R309-220-7(2)). Multiple monitoring violations can be serious, check with the Division of Drinking Water (801-536-4200) to make sure you meet the public notification requirements. Community systems must use one of the following (R309-220-7(3)(a)): • Hand or direct delivery • Mail, as a separate notice or included with the bill Non-community systems must use one of the following (R309-220-7(3)(b)): • Posting in conspicuous locations • Hand delivery • Mail In addition, both community and non-community systems must use another method reasonably calculated to reach others if they would not be reached by the first method (R309 -220-7(3)). Such methods could include newspapers, e-mail, or delivery to community organizations. If you post the notice, it must remain posted until the violation is resolved. If the violation has been resolved, you must post the notice for at least one week (R309-220-7(2)). If you mail, post, or hand deliver, print your notice on letterhead, if available. The notice on the reverse is appropriate for insertion in an annual notice or the CCR, as long as public notification timing and delivery requirements are met (R309-220-7(4)). You may need to modify the template for a notice for individual monitoring violations. This example presents violations in a table; however, you may write out an explanation for each violation if you wish. For any monitoring violation for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other groups, you may list the group name in the table, but you must provide the name of every chemical in the group on the notice, e.g., in a footnote. You may need to modify the notice if you had any monitoring violations for which monitoring later showed a maximum contaminant level or other violation. In such cases, you should refer to the public notice you issued at that time. Include in your notice the standard language for monitoring and testing procedure violations in italics (R309-220-8(4)(b)). If you modify the notice, you may not alter this mandatory language. Corrective Actions In your notice, describe corrective actions you took or are taking. Listed below are some steps commonly taken by water systems with monitoring violations. Choose the appropriate language, or develop your own: • We have since taken the required samples, as described in the last column of the table above. The samples showed we are meeting drinking water standards. • We have since taken the required samples, as described in the last column of the table above. The sample for [contaminant] exceeded the limit. [Describe corrective action; use information from public notice prepared for violating the limit.] • We plan to take the required samples soon, as described in the last column of the table above. After Issuing the Notice Make sure to send the Division of Drinking Water (PO Box 144830, SLC, UT 84114-4830) a copy of each type of notice and a certification that you have met all the public notice requirements within ten days after issuing the notice (R309-105-16(3)). IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER Monitoring Requirements Not Met for [System] Our water system violated several drinking water standards over the past year. Even though these were not emergencies, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we did to correct these situations. We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During [compliance period] we ['did not monitor or test' or 'did not complete all monitoring or testing'] for [contaminant(s)] and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water during that time. What should I do? There is nothing you need to do at this time. The table below lists the contaminant(s) we did not properly test for during the last year, how often we are supposed to sample for [this contaminant/these contaminants] and how many samples we are supposed to take, how many samples we took, when samples should have been taken, and the date on which follow -up samples were (or will be) taken. Contaminant Required sampling frequency Number of samples taken When all samples should have been taken When samples were or will be taken VOCs1 (example) 1 sample every three years 0 1996-1998 February 1999 What happened? What is being done? [Describe corrective action.] For more information, please contact [name of contact] at [phone number] or [mailing address]. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distrib uting copies by hand or mail. This notice is being sent to you by [system]. Water System ID#: __________. Date distributed: 1VOCs, also known as volatile organic compounds, are tested by collecting one sample and testing that sample for all the VOCs. VOCs are commonly used in industrial and manufacturing processes. VOCs include benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, 1,2- dichloroethane, cis-dichloroethylene, trans-dichloroethylene, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloropropane, ethylbenzene, styrene, tetrachlorethylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, toluene, 1,2,4- trichlorobenzene, 1,1-dichloroethylene, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, vinyl chloride, and xylene.
