Dear Jason Tooley:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received a request for an Operating Permit for the
Red Canyon RV Park Water System Upgrades from Lynn Wall, Wall Engineering, on May 14,
2024. A site visit was conducted by J. Paul Wright, P.E., DEQ Southwest District Engineer, on
June 5, 2024. A few items still needed to be finished, including installing the required lid on the
storage tank and changing the location of the shutoff valve on the well discharge piping. Photos of
those fixes were received on Jun 17, 2024.
Previously, the Division received the plans and specifications on March 3, 2023. Written plan
review comments were submitted to your consultant on March 9, 2023. The Division received
revised plans on March 21, 2023. Additional review comments were sent to your consultant on
April 5, 2023. Final revised plans were received by the Division on April 19, 2023. The Division
issued Plan Approval for this project on May 3, 2023.
Water System History and Upgrades Description

The new owners of the RV park (Aramark) added a gift shop, will reopen the gas station and
convenience store, use the existing residence on the property, and construct 4 apartment trailers to
rent out or use for temporary employee training, housing approximately 8 employees. To
accommodate this, upgrades to the water system needed to be made. Below is a description of
these upgrades:
Activate Gas Station Well (WS002) – This existing source was reactivated. A 70 gallon
per minute (gpm) submersible pump was installed in the well. The well water will be
conveyed to a new building that houses the well discharge piping, a new tank and the
hydropneumatic tank and booster station (all described below). To be able to reactivate
the well, no source protection updates were necessary as a source water assessment (SWA)
was already completed for this water system. Source chemistry was required to be brought
up to date with a current nitrate sample and sulfate sample. These results were received by
the Division.
Activate Gas Station Pressure Tank (HD002) – The pressure tank was updated with a
new Amtrol WX350 pressure tank that has 119 gallon capacity.
Gas Station Booster Pumps (PF001) - Also, associated with the Gas Station pressure
tank will be two Goulds centrifugal pumps that each have the capacity to pump 60 gpm at
140 feet of total dynamic head. These pumps and pressure tank will maintain pressure
through this part of the water system.
Gas Station Storage Tank (ST003) – This is a Norwesco #40051, 2500-gallon plastic
water storage tank that is ANSI/NSF 61 certified. The tank was modified to add an air
vent and overflow. The stock lid was replaced with a hinged, no vent lid that is lockable
and gasketed.
We have received the following information for the Red Canyon RV Park Water System Upgrades
including Activate Gas Station Well (WS002), Activate Gas Station Pressure Tank (HD002), Gas
Station Booster Pumps (PF001), Gas Station Storage Tank (ST003):
1. Certification of Rule Conformance with plan approval conditions by a professional
engineer
2. As-built or record drawings.
3. Satisfactory bacteriological results as evidence of proper disinfection and flushing.
4. Evidence of O&M manual delivery.
We have determined that all conditions for operating permit issuance have been met. On this basis,
an Operating Permit for the Red Canyon RV Park Water System Upgrades is hereby issued
as constituted by this letter. You may now place the Gas Station Well (WS002), Gas Station
Pressure Tank (HD002), Gas Station Booster Pumps (PF001), and Gas Station Storage Tank
(ST003) in service in your water system.
Please maintain a copy of this letter with your permanent records for future reference.
