project from your office on May 13, 2024. The Division understands that the project consists of constructing a connecting water line between the Indian Crossing Campground and Jarvie
Historical Site water systems, and upon completion of the project you would like to merge Jarvie into Indian Crossing and combine the two system into one system as follows:New System
Name: Indian Crossing and Jarvie Water SystemNew System Number: UTAH05040Serve the Jarvie area from the Indian Crossing system with the following changes to the respective inventories:Make
the Jarvie Historical Site system inactive in the Divisions database.Label the Jarvie storage tank (ST001) as Abandoned/Demolished.Move all relevant historical information for the Jarvie
Ranch Well (WS001) to the merged Indian Crossing and Jarvie Water System and rename the Division Source ID to WS002 in the new merged system. Label the well as inactive and not in use
- it is currently not connected, but the system may want to connect and use it as a second source in the future.
The Division has completed its review of the plans, specifications and calculations, stamped and signed by Andrew L. Palmer, P.E., dated May 13, 2024, and find the connecting water line,
hydraulic calculations and capacity calculations for the merged system basically complies with the applicable portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems
in R309. On this basis, the plans for the connecting water line and merging of the two systems are hereby approved.
This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the Director before the water line and the new merged system 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, 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.
