Engineering on September 27, 2024. The Division understands that the project consists of replacing the existing Pump Station 1 building, and replacing the interior components in-kind,
so the pump station will still meet the Divisions rules and regulations.
The Division has completed its review of the plans and specifications, stamped and signed byErik W. Rube, P.E., dated September 27, 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 Pump Station 1 Replacement are hereby approved.

the Division. 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.The project, as described herein,
is generally eligible for assistance under the Drinking Water Construction Assistance Program. All change orders will need to be reviewed and approved for compliance with the Drinking
Water Rules and the conditions of this construction approval.The project may now be advertised for bids. But, as a condition of the project funding, you must not award the contract or
proceed with construction until the Division of Drinking Water has authorized you to do so. This is necessary to comply with applicable requirements and to protect you, as the funding
recipient, by ensuring that the contract meets requirements for funded projects.
