Dear Tanner Tew:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received notification from the Division of Water Quality, on April 18, 2023, that their permitting process had been completed
for discharges from the Iron Filtration System (TP002). The completion of this discharge permit was a condition of the Temporary Operating Permit issued on April 17, 2023. The Division
issued Plan Approval for a portion of this project on June 23, 2021.
Our understanding of the project is that the Yonder Escalante LLC (the System) replaced the Iron Filter (identified as TP001 in the Division’s database) and Pressure Tank #1 (HD001).

system:
50-micron Amiad filter
ST001 tank with ozone generator and diffuser (Clean Water Systems 5g/hr)

Large filtration system (two trains) including sediment backwash filter, pro-ox iron filter, and carbon backwash filter. Each filtration vessel has a BNT 95 control valve with a 45 GPM
