Subject:Concurrence, Updated Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for the Mineral Mountain Well 1 and Granite Peak Well; Milford City Water System; Water System #01003, Source No. WS005
and WS006
Dear Makayla Bealer:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the updated Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan for the Mineral Mountain Well 1 and Granite Peak Well from you on December
16, 2022.
We have completed our review of the updated DWSP plan and find that the plan basically complies with the applicable portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water
Systems. The Division concurs with this updated plan. We commend you for establishing a program to protect these sources from present and future contamination. This plan must be updated
often enough to ensure that it reflects current conditions in your protection zones.
The due date for submitting the next updated plan is December 31, 2028.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 susceptibility waivers for volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) and pesticides has been granted for the Granite Peak Well (WS006). Your sampling schedule
remains the same for this source.
You requested a susceptibility waiver for Mineral Mountain Well 1 (WS005). Your request for a susceptibility waiver for volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) and/or pesticides cannot
be granted because rule R309-600-16(4) states that a source can only be granted a susceptibility waiver if a reliably and consistently waiver has not been issued. Since Mineral Mountain
Well 1 currently has a reliably and consistently waiver, this source is not eligible for a susceptibility waiver. Your monitoring schedule remains the same.Please contact Noah Zorsky,
P.G., at (385) 707-7317 or via email at nzorsky@utah.gov if you have questions or concerns about the review of your DWSP plan. Contact David Kruse at (385) 566-7789 or via email at dbkruse@utah.gov
if you have any questions about your monitoring schedule. To help us serve you more efficiently, please use the water system number (01003) in your correspondence.
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
