Subject:Amended Plan Approval, Left Hand Fork Spring Redevelopment (WS001), Transmission Line Replacement and Kamas Fish Hatchery Water Line Replacement Project; Kamas City Water System,
System #22007, File #13267
Dear Trevor Clegg:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the revised plans and specifications for the subject project from your consultant, Robert Worley, P.E. with Sunrise
Engineering, Inc. on September 18, 2024. The Division approved the transmission line and fish hatchery water line replacement portion of the project on March 1, 2023. The project has
since been revised to include the redevelopment of the Left Hand Fork Spring. This project has met the conditions for receiving a plan approval. Our understanding of the project is the
replacement of the Left Hand Fork Spring transmission line from the existing spring box to the splitter box and also the water line from the splitter box that diverts water to the Kamas
Fish Hatchery connection. In addition, new flow meters and air vents will be added to the splitter box junction. The transmission line from the spring box to the splitter box will be
increased in size from 10-inch to 16-inch diameter HDPE pipe and the line going to the Kamas Fish Hatchery will be replaced with a 12-inch diameter HDPE DR17 pipe.
The revised plans also include the redevelopment of the Left Hand Fork Spring (identified as WS001 in the Division’s database) to include the following:
A second spring box and collection lines will be installed approximately 30 feet southwest from the existing spring box conforming with all applicable rules covered in rule R309-515-7.
Groundwater-Springs. The new spring collection area will tie into the transmission line from the existing spring box upstream of the splitter box.
Spring box air vent will be added to the existing spring box.
New overflow and drain lines will be added to the existing spring box, both with a 12-inch air gap.
Drainage channel installed around the entire collection area.
A sample tap will be included in the splitter box for compliance monitoring of the combined spring water.
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped, and signed by Robert Worley, P.E.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 redeveloping the Left Hand Fork Spring (WS001) and Water Line Replacement project are hereby approved.
Please label the spring water sample collected for new source chemical analysis with your water system number UTAH22007 and WS001 (for both the facility ID and sample point ID) on all
laboratory forms for each individual source. This will ensure proper identification and entry of the new source chemical analysis results in our database.
This approval pertains to construction only. Following completion of construction, you must obtain an Operating Permit prior to placing the Left Hand Fork Spring and water lines into
service. A checklist outlining the spring approval process, including the items required for issuing an Operating Permit is enclosed for your information. Enclosed please also find an
Operating Permit Checklist for other components of this project. Please note that, before requesting an Operating Permit for this project, you must submit the required new source chemical
analysis data to the Division for review to determine whether additional treatment is required for using the Left Hand Fork Spring as a public drinking water source.The operating permit
will include requirements for monthly Escherichia Coli (E. Coli) sampling at the new spring box for the Left Hand Fork Spring (WS001), also called assessment monitoring, during the operating
period when the spring is accessible for a minimum of 6 months. This monitoring is required to evaluate the quality of the water coming from the newly developed area of the Left Hand
Fork Spring (WS001) to better protect public health. Additional monitoring and/or disinfection requirements may be assigned depending on the results of the assessment monitoring. Approvals
or permits from the local authority or 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.
Drinking Water Source Protection Requirement
A revised Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) Plan must be submitted to the Division
within 180 days after the reconstruction or redevelopment of any ground-water source of drinking
water (refer to R306-600-7(2)(f)). The revised plan must address changes in source construction,
source development, hydrogeology, delineation, potential contamination sources, and proposed
land management strategies, if applicable. If redevelopment of the spring(s) did not result in
changes that would affect delineation of the source protection zones, such as increased flow, then
submit a letter or email stating that the project did not impact the source protection zones. If you
have any questions about the source protection requirements contact source protection staff at
[phone].
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact Julie Cobleigh, P.E., of this office, at [phone], or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
