Subject:Concurrence, Revised Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for the 6th East Well (WS005) and Hospital Well (WS006), and Updated Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for the

Dear Jay L. Brems:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received a revised Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan for the 6th East and Hospital Wells, due to an increase in the maximum pumping
rate for the Hospital Well, from your consultant, Jason Judd, P.E., with Horrocks on June 30, 2023. The plan also included updates for the J.C. Park Well, Race Track Well, Alpine Country
Club Well, Boley Well, and the Golf Course Well. The Division requested additional information via email on October 24, 2023. The Division received revisions to the plan on June 25,
2024.
We have completed our review of the revised/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 revised/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, 2026.
Please be aware that the revised source protection zones for the 6th East Well and Hospital Well have now been incorporated into the Division’s Geographic Information System (GIS) database.
In addition, these zones should now appear on the Utah Environmental Interactive Map, so long as this system is currently classified as Public in the Division’s database. The Utah Environmental
Interactive Map can be accessed by visiting enviro.deq.utah.gov. We encourage you to visit the map to confirm that the location of these sources and the source protection zones are accurate.
If you need assistance with navigating the map or to report any discrepancies, please call [phone] and ask to speak to source protection staff.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.Please contact Deidre Beck 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 (25008) in your correspondence.
