This project has met the conditions for receiving a plan approval. On August 26, 2024, the Division of Drinking Water (the Division) also received your request for an exception to Rule R309-550-7(1), Separation of Water Mains and Transmission Lines from Sewers and Other Pollution Sources for the Texas Instruments 2600 N to SR92 24-Inch Diameter Water Line. This rule states specifically that the horizontal distance between pressure water mains and sanitary sewer lines shall be at least ten feet and that where a main and a sewer line must cross, the water main shall be at least 18 inches above the sewer line. Plan Approval Our understanding of the project is the construction of 5,987 feet of 24-inch diameter ductile iron pipe (DIP) and appurtenances for a drinking water transmission pipeline. (identified as DS001 in the Division’s database). The pipeline is to be located within Lehi, Utah from 2600 North to 3200 North along 600 East, and along 3200 North to 810 East, along 810 East to the Lehi City PI Pond site, through the Lehi City PI pond site to south of SR-92. We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped, and signed by Gregory S Thomas, P.E., dated September 9, 2024,and find 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 Texas Instruments 2600 N to SR92 24-Inch Diameter Water Lineare hereby approved. This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the Director before Texas Instruments 2600 N to SR92 24-Inch Diameter 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, a 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. Exception to R309-550(7)(1) – Minimum Separation Requirements The basis for your request for an exception to R309-550-7(1) is that due to existing road constraints and existing utilities the required horizontal and vertical separations can not be meet, at the following locations: 600 East (PP-1, Sta 0+89 to 3+81) - 8-foot min horizontal separation 600 East (PP-2 to PP-6, Sta 9+06 to 27+06) - 6-foot min horizontal separation 3200 North (PP-6 to PP-7, Sta 27+36 to 31+44) - 9-foot min horizontal separation 810 East (PP-10, Sta 40+15) - 14 inches vertical separation 810 East (PP-11, Sta 43+51) - 17 inches vertical separation You propose to meet the intent of the rule, that the entire length of the new 24-inch diameter DIP water pipeline will be mechanically restrained using TR Flex joints and mechanical joint restraints. All vertical crossings will be above the existing sewer at 14 and 17-inch diameter, respectively. On this basis, an exception to R309-550-7(1), Separation of Water Mains and Transmission Lines from Sewers and Other Pollution Sources, is hereby granted for the above listed locations.This exception may be rescinded any time if new evidence indicates that the conditions of this exception are no longer being met or a public health risk exists due to this exception. Please maintain a copy of this letter with your permanent records for future reference. If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact Brent Arns, of this office, at (385) 549-7420, or me at (385) 515-1464. Sincerely, Michael Newberry, P.E.
