Subject:Updated Drinking Water Source Protection Plan Required for Hillside Springs; Howell Town; Water System #02017, Source No. WS004
Dear Robert Craig Hawkes:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) has not received an updated Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan for Hillside Springs, which was due by December 31, 2023.
Guidance for preparing an updated plan can be obtained from the Division website at
https://deq.utah.gov/drinking-water/preparing-source-protection-plans, or you may contact Deidre Beck, of this office, at [phone] or via email at [e-mail], to request a
copy of the guidance. Updated DWSP plans must document the implementation of land management strategies in the recordkeeping section. Actual copies of any ordinances, codes, permits,
memoranda of understanding, public education programs, bill stuffers, newsletters, training session agendas, minutes of meetings, memoranda for file, etc. must be submitted with the
recordkeeping section of your updated plans. Lack of plan implementation may result in the assessment of significant deficiencies.
A dormant deficiency (SP04 ACTIVE SOURCE LACKS APPROVED UPDATES TO DWSP) has been added to the Division’s database to serve as a tracking tool and reminder. Failure to correct this deficiency
by the required due date (90 days from the date of this letter) will result in 5 Improvement Priority System (IPS) points being assigned. If you have any questions about these points,
please contact Jennifer Yee at [phone] or [e-mail]. Please contact Deidre Beck, P.G., at [phone] or via email at [e-mail] if you have questions. To help us
serve you more efficiently, please use the water system number (02017) in your correspondence.
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
