Dear Chad Kunz:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the White Sands Campground Water Line Replacement Project from you on July 17,
2024. Written review comments were provided to you on July 23, 2024. The Division received the reply to the plan review comments on July 24, 2024. This project has met the conditions
for receiving a plan approval.
Our understanding of the project is that the existing White Sands Campground area is being relocated and three new campground loops, A, B & C, will be constructed. New 4-inch and 2-inch
diameter HDPE water lines will be installed in the main road and each campground loop. Freezeless hydrants and isolation valves will also be installed within each campground loop.
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped, and signed by Eric E. Dursteler, P.E., dated March 4, 2024,and found they basically comply with the applicable
portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems in R309. On this basis, the plans for the White Sands Campground Water Line Replacement Project are hereby approved.
This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the Director before the new White Sands Campground Water Lines may be put in service. A checklist
outlining the items required for operating permit issuance is enclosed for your information.Approvals or permits from the local authority or the 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 equipment has not been ordered within one year of the date of this letter.
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.
