Subject:Updated Drinking Water Source Protection Plans Required for Cyn 14-17 Mi No Spring and the City Well; Escalante Town; Water System #09004, Source Numbers WS001 and WS002
Dear Blaine Pratt Porter:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) has not received updated Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plans for the Cyn 14-17 Mi No Spring and the City Well, which were due
by December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
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.
Dormant deficiencies (SP04 ACTIVE SOURCE LACKS APPROVED UPDATES TO DWSP) have been added to the Division’s database to serve as a tracking tool and reminder. Failure to correct these
deficiencies by the required due date (90 days from the date of this letter) will result in 10 Improvement Priority System (IPS) points being assigned (5 points per source). 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 (09004) in your correspondence.
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
