Subject:Plan Approval, Eight Mile Hills Water Line Project, System #11085, File #15892
Dear Tracy Feltner:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the proposed Eight Mile Hills Water Line Project from Rianna Howard, Ensign
Engineering, on July 29, 2024. Review comments were provided to you and your consultant on August 19, 2024, by email. The Division received a response to the comments on August 22, 2024.
This project has met the conditions for receiving a plan approval.
Our understanding of the project is to extend the Central Iron County WCD’s (District) main transmission line with approximately 8,301 feet of 24-inch diameter SDR 17 HDPE pipe and 1,073
feet of 18-inch diameter HDPE pipe. The project also includes isolation valves, fire hydrants, and appurtenant fittings. This project will tie-in to the existing water line on Iron Springs
Road and will be stubbed on the other end for future connection to the proposed Eight Mile Hills 4-million-gallon culinary water tank (ST008).
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped, and signed byCurtis L.Nielson, P.E., dated January 3, 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 Eight Mile Hills Water Line Project are hereby approved.
This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the Director before the Eight Mile Hills Water Line 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 J. Paul Wright, P.E., DEQ Southwest District Engineer, at [phone], or me at (385) 515‑1464.
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
