Dear Verl S Sawyer:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the updated Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plans for the Red Hollow Well 1 and Red Hollow Well 2 from your consultant,
Megan Jensen with the Rural Water Association of Utah, on December 13, 2022. The Division received the updated DWSP plan for the North Spring from your consultant on October 2, 2023.
We have completed our review of the updated DWSP plans and find that the plans basically comply with the applicable portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water
Systems. The Division concurs with these updated plans. We commend you for establishing a program to protect these sources from present and future contamination. These plans must be
updated often enough to ensure that they reflect current conditions in your protection zones.
The due date for submitting the next updated plan for wells is December 31, 2028.
The due date for submitting the next updated plan for springs is December 31, 2029.RemindersAs stated in R309-600 and 605: Implementing DWSP Plans - Each Public Water System (PWS) shall
begin implementing each of its DWSP Plans in accordance with the implementation schedule within 180 days after submittal if the plan is not disapproved. Be prepared to describe these
efforts in your next update, which should include documentation of how the land management strategies identified for existing and future potential contamination sources were implemented.
Your updated plan will be disapproved, and 25 Improvement Priority System (IPS) points will be assigned for failure to comply with this requirement.As stated in R309-600 and 605: Recordkeeping
- As a DWSP Plan is executed, the PWS shall document any land management strategies that are implemented. Please provide actual copies of memoranda of understanding, public education
programs, bill stuffers, newsletters, or other correspondence documenting the implementation of each land management strategy as it occurs, in this section of your updated plan.
Monitoring Reduction Waivers
Your request for a renewal of your use waivers for volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) and pesticides has been granted for the North Spring (WS001). Your sampling schedule remains the
same.
Use waivers were not submitted with the updated plans for Red Hollow Well 1 or Red Hollow Well 2. Monitoring reduction waivers must be renewed every update cycle to remain active. Please
submit a signed use waiver for these sources if you would like the waivers to remain active.Please contact Noah Zorsky at [phone] or via email at [e-mail] if you have
questions or concerns about the review of your DWSP plan. To help us serve you more efficiently, please use the water system number (13008) in your correspondence.
