Written review comments were provided to you and your consultant on February 7, 2024. The Division received the revised plans and specifications on February 8, 2024. This project has met the conditions for receiving a plan approval. The letter includes the following sections and addenda:   1.Project Summary for seven new chlorinators for the Enoch City Water System at each active well (TP001 - TP007)     2. Plan Approval for seven new chlorinators for the Enoch City Water System at each active well (TP001 - TP007) 3.Operating Permit Checklist 4.FutureMonitoring and Reporting Requirements (Addendum 1)Project Summary Our understanding of the project is that on May 16, 2023, the Enoch City Water System received a Notification for Groundwater Required to Disinfect to Secondary Requirements letter. In summary, the requirement was to: Provide continuous disinfection and demonstrate compliance with secondary disinfection requirements through ongoing monitoring and reporting. Conduct monthly source assessment bacteriologic monitoring of each of the active sources for assessment purposes. According to that letter, this source assessment monitoring was to begin in June 2023. Since each well in the Enoch City water system pumps directly into the distribution system, a chlorinator has been designed for each one.

This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the Director before these seven chlorinators described above may be put in service. A checklist outlining the items required for operating permit issuance is enclosed for your information.Approvals or permits from the local authority or the county may be necessary before beginning construction of this project. As the project proceeds, a notice of any changes in the approved design, as well as any change affecting the quantity or quality of the delivered water, must be submitted to the Division. We may also conduct interim and final inspections of this project. Please notify us when actual construction begins so that these inspections can be scheduled. This approval must be renewed if construction has not begun or if substantial equipment has not been ordered within one year of the date of this letter. Secondary Disinfection Requirements The Division has determined that theEnoch City Water Systemmust provide continuous disinfection to maintain detectable chlorine residuals throughout the distribution system. As a result, the system will be required to comply with the secondary disinfection monitoring and reporting requirements outlined in Addendum 1 of this letter once the system’s chlorinators are in operation. In October 2019, a Level 1 Assessment was triggered by five total coliform positive and Escherichia coli (E. coli) absent samples in the distribution system. In July 2020, a Level 2 Assessment was triggered by four total coliform positive and E. coli absent distribution samples with two total coliform positive source samples. In March of 2021, a second Level 2 Assessment was triggered by five total coliform positive and E. coli absent distribution samples. In May of 2022, a Level 1 Assessment was triggered by two total coliform positive and E. coli absent distribution samples. In September of 2022, a Level 2 Assessment was triggered by four total coliform positive and E. coli absent distribution samples. In February of 2023, another Level 2 Assessment was triggered by total coliform positive and E. coli absent distribution samples. The proposed chlorinators below are intended to provide a detectable disinfectant residual in the distribution system for secondary disinfection. Homestead Well Chlorinator (TP001) Anderson Well Chlorinator (TP002) Ravine Road Well Chlorinator (TP003) Iron Works Well Chlorinator (TP004) Tank Well Chlorinator (TP005) Norm Grimshaw Well Chlorinator (TP006) Little Eden Well Chlorinator (TP007) The Division shall be informed by telephone within 8 hours by a water supplier ofthe malfunction of any disinfection facility such that a detectable residual cannot be maintained at all points in the distribution system per R309-105-18(1)(a). Please be aware ifany of the Enoch City Water System wells is found to requireadditionaldisinfection in the future per R309-200-5(7)(a)(i), further regulations will apply. For example, if primary disinfection is required this will include submitting disinfection CT information showing compliance with 4-log virus inactivation in accordance with the Ground Water Rule in R309-215-16.

As a part of these requirements, the water system will need to continuously maintain a minimum free chlorine residual at each chlorinator Point of Entry (POE) into the system and demonstrate a detectable chlorine residual in the distribution system.  Secondary Disinfection Requirements and Reporting  Chlorine Residual ‒ Point of Entry (POE) to Distribution System The POE sampling location will be identified in the Division’s database. The location will be identified during the plan approval process. Maintain a minimum of 0.2 mg/L residual (measured as free chlorine) at the POE sampling location. [R309-215-16(3)(b)(iii)(A)(I) and (II)] The chlorine residual concentration measured at the POE sampling location shall not exceed the maximum residual disinfectant level (MRDL) of 4.0 mg/L (measured as free chlorine). [R309-200-5(3)(c)(iv)] Record and report the lowest daily chlorine residual concentration, measured as free chlorine, at the chlorinator POE sampling location a minimum of daily. [R309-210- 8(3)(a)(ii)] Chlorine Residual ‒ Distribution System (DS001) This water system must maintain a detectable residualthroughout the distribution system. It is recommended to maintain the chlorine residual above 0.1 ppm in the distribution system. [R309-520-5] The chlorine residual measured in the distribution system shall not exceed the maximum residual disinfectant level (MRDL) of 4.0 mg/L (measured as free chlorine). [R309-200-5(3)(c)(iv)] This water system must take a minimum of three (3) chlorine residual samples per weekat varying locations throughout its distribution system (DS001). [R309-105-10(1)(c)] Distribution system chlorine residuals must be taken in conjunction with total coliform sampling. [R309-215-10(3)] Disinfection Report Submission To demonstrate ongoing compliance with secondary disinfection requirements, the water system must complete monthly operational reports for each active chlorinator using a template approved by the Division.  Operational reports are submitted quarterly. The reports are due to the Division by the 10th day following the end of each reporting month or quarter (i.e., January 10th, April 10th, July 10th, and October 10th for quarterly reports). The reports can be submitted by hardcopy, fax, or email at DDWReports@utah.gov. Please contact Luke Treutel at (385) 258-6084 or ltreutel@utah.gov to schedule training regarding proper reporting.  In addition to monthly disinfection reporting, this water system must submit the monthly average of chlorine residual samples taken in the distribution system. Distribution system chlorine residual monitoring results are due quarterly by the same compliance dates as the monthly disinfection report and can be submitted via an online form found at mrdl.utah.gov.  Records must be maintained for a minimum of 5 years. [R309-105-17(1)] Disinfection Byproducts Monitoring & Reporting Requirements In addition to the chlorine monitoring and reporting described above, the system will be required to monitor disinfection byproducts as a result of introducing disinfection to the system. According to our records, the water system serves a population of approximately 6,500 people and serves groundwater from the system’s sources. Based on this information, the water system will be required to collect samples from two (2) Disinfection Byproduct (DBP) sampling sites every year. Each disinfection byproduct sample should be a paired sample of Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) and Haloacetic Acids (HAA5). Water system staff will need to select two (2) sites to be sampled for DBPs. A sampling plan form will be enclosed with the operating permit letter and will need to be completed and submitted to the Division within 30 days from the date of the operating permit letter. The specifics relating to the number and frequency of required samples will be provided in the operating permit letter.
