Dear Leroy Thomas Atwood:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the updated Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plans for the listed well sources from you on December 21, 2022. The Division
received the DWSP plans for the listed spring sources from you on November 30, 2023.
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 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 susceptibility waivers for volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) and pesticides has been granted for Main Spring 1 and 2 (WS003), White Spring (WS004),
and Hyrum Canyon Well (WS006). Your sampling schedule remains the same.
You requested use waivers for volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) and/or pesticides for Well No. 2 (WS002) and Well No. 1 (WS005). These sources are not eligible for susceptibility
waivers because the requirements of R309-600-16(4) have not been met. 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. Contact David Kruse at [phone] or via email at [e-mail] if you have any questions about your monitoring schedule. To help us serve
you more efficiently, please use the water system number (03016) in your correspondence.
