Kolob Heights Subdivision; Water System #27111, Source No. WS001
Dear Jeff Burgess:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan for the Culinary Well from your consultant, Bryce Ross with Ensign Engineering
on July 3, 2024. The Division requested additional information via email on July 9, 2024. Your consultant provided revisions to the plan on July 17, 2024. Your consultant provided proof
that a map of the final source protection zones was submitted to Washington County to be covered under the Washington County Source Protection Ordinance on July 18, 2024.
We have completed our review of the DWSP plan, stamped and signed by Curtis L. Nielsen, P.E., and dated July 17, 2024, and found that the plan basically complies with the applicable
portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems. The Division concurs with this plan. We commend you for establishing a program to protect this source 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.
Please be aware that the source protection zones for this source 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 this source 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 submission 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 (27111)
in your correspondence.
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
