Dear Bruce VanDyke:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the proposed Airport Well from your consultant, Richard Emerson with Cascade
Water Resources on May 30, 2024.
We understand that this project consists of drilling a new well south of Lyman and east of the airport. The proposed well will have a permanent steel production casing and stainless-steel
wire wrapped screen diameter of 8-inches. The borehole diameter will be a minimum of 12 ¾ inches and the proposed depth of the well is 710 feet. The well will have a surface seal that
extends down to 110 feet and the gravel pack will be placed from 110 feet down to 710 feet. This project will also include developing, test pumping and disinfection of the well. The
Airport Wellis identified as WS005 in the Division’s database.
We have received the following information for the Lyman Town Airport Well:
Plans and specifications for borehole and well drilling.
Preliminary Evaluation Report.
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped, and signed by Richard Emerson, P.G. and dated May 30, 2024, and found they basically comply with the applicable
portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems. On this basis, the
plans for drilling the Airport Well are hereby approved. This approval pertains to well drilling, development, aquifer testing, and disinfection of the Airport Well only. Please be aware
that discharge permits may be required by Utah Division of Water Quality for discharges generated during well drilling and aquifer drawdown testing.
The Utah Division of Water Rights (State Engineer’s Office) regulates the drilling of water wells. Before the drilling of a well commences, the well driller must receive a start card
from the State Engineer’s Office. Please be aware that, for public drinking water supply wells, in addition to the Division of Drinking Water’s R309-515 rule, the Division of Water Rights’
rule R655-4 also applies and shall be followed.
After drilling is completed, you are required to submit additional information outlined in R309-515-6(5)(b) and (c) for review andobtain an approval from the Director for equipping this
well and constructing discharge piping and infrastructure necessary for introducing the well water into the distribution system. After obtaining the well equipping approval, you’ll then
be required to obtain an Operating Permit before the Airport Well may be put in service. A checklist outlining the well approval process, including the items required for well equipping
and an Operating Permit, is enclosed for your information.
Please label the well water sample collected for new source chemical analysis with your water system number UTAH28005 and WS005 (for both the facility ID and sample point ID) on all
laboratory forms for each individual source. This will ensure proper identification and entry of the new source chemical analysis results in our database.
Approvals or permits from the local authority or 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 materials have not been ordered within one year of the date of this letter.
Conditional Concurrence – Preliminary Evaluation Report
The Division received the Preliminary Evaluation Report (PER) for the Airport Well (WS005) from your consultant, Richard Emerson, and Cascade Water Resources on May 30, 2024. The Division
conditionally concurs with this report, provided the conditions explained below are addressed. This PER must be refined, and a complete Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) Plan is
submitted within one (1) year of the date of this letter. Refer to R309-600-13(6) and R309-600-7(1). You must submit copies of Land Use Agreements that have been recorded with Wayne
County before the well can receive an operating permit.
Conditions: The Land Use Agreements must be submitted to the Division with the DWSP Plan.
Please contact Melissa Noble. P.G., at [phone] or at [e-mail] if you have questions or concerns about the review of your Preliminary Evaluation Report.
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact John Chartier, P.E., DEQ Central District Engineer, at [phone], or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
