Dear Gordon Robinson:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) issued an Initial Order for a New Public Water System on January 19, 2024. As part of the Initial Order, an engineering
evaluation report is required to ensure compliance with the current design and construction standards for public drinking water systems (UAC R309-550). This report was received on August
28, 2024. The report intends to provide information for issuing an After-The-Fact Plan Approval and Operating Permit.
Our understanding of the project includes the following:
The Tintic Consolidated Metals water system (the System) serves approximately 75 people in three distinct areas: Burgin operations, Drill Shop, and Trixie operations.
The System is only used for water in restrooms and other locations where human contact occurs. Employees are provided bottled water for consumption.
The water is currently hauled by a private contractor (Waste and Water Logistics, LLC) to the site via water trucks from the Heber City, Utah public water system. The Heber City, Utah
public water system is approved by the Division as a Public Water System under system number 26006. Water is currently hauled to the site approximately one to two times per month. The
System recently switched to Heber City from Eureka Town (UT12004) and Goshen Town (UT25013) for a hauled water source.
The System has a distribution system, three pressure tanks, three booster pumps, and five storage tanks. Water is unloaded from the haul trucks into storage tanks at three locations:
Burgin Operations: 4,600 gallons (2,100 gallon and 2,500 gallon HDPE tanks)
Drill Shop: 2,500 gallon HDPE tank
Trixie Operations: 5,000 gallons (two, 2,500-gallon HDPE tanks)
System pressure in the water system is provided at each of the three operational areas via booster pumps and pressure tanks. A Berkely 2 HP, 4-stage self-priming booster pump (Model
# B82639) with Pentair 100 psi pressure tank is provided at the Burgin and Trixie operations. A Leader Ecomatic 110, 0.5-HP pump with an integral pressure tank is provided at the Drill
Shop. The pressure tanks are set to a minimum system pressure of 40 psi. The water system is not utilized for fire flow.
A sanitary survey was completed on September 25, 2024. During the survey, it was confirmed that the storage tanks do not meet all the access opening requirements and the pump stations
do not have a redundant pump.
The hauled water source, distribution system, Tintic Consolidated Tank #1 (Burgin), Tintic Consolidated Tank #2 (Burgin), Burgin Hydropneumatic Tank, Burgin Pump Station, Tintic Consolidated
Tank #3 (Drill Shop), Drill Shop Hydropneumatic Tank, Drill Shop Pump Station, Tintic Consolidated Tank #4 (Trixie), Tintic Consolidated Tank #5 (Trixie), Trixie Hydropneumatic Tank,
and Trixie Booster Pump are identified as WS003, DS001, ST001, ST002, HD001, PF001, ST003, HD002, PF002, ST004, ST005, HD003, and PF003 respectively in the Division’s database.
We have received the following information for the Tintic Consolidated Metals water system (WS003, DS001, PF001, PF002, PF003, HD001, HD002, HD003, and ST001 to ST005):
Certification of Rule Conformance with plan approval conditions by a professional engineer.
Satisfactory bacteriological results as evidence of proper disinfection and flushing.
We have determined that all conditions for operating permit issuance have been met. On this basis, an After-The-Fact Plan Approval and Operating Permit for the facilities associated
with the System are hereby issued as constituted by this letter. You may now place the facilities in service in your water system.
Please maintain a copy of this letter with your permanent records for future reference.If this Operating Permit changes any of your monitoring requirements, the staff of the Compliance
and Monitoring Sections will follow up to provide an updated monitoring schedule to you. Please contact Mark Berger, Water Quality Monitoring and Standards Section Manager at [phone]
for questions regarding the monitoring and reporting requirements for your water system.Temporary Exceptions to R309-545-14(1), Height and R309-545-14(2), Shoebox Lid for the Tintic
Consolidated Tank #1 (ST001), Tintic Consolidated Tank #2 (ST002), Tintic Consolidated Tank #3 (ST003), Tintic Consolidated Tank #4 (ST004), and Tintic Consolidated Tank #5 (ST005)As
a part of your design, you have requested that the Director, per State of Utah AdministrativeRules for Public Drinking Water Systems R309-500-4, titled Authority, grant an exception
to Rules R309-545-14(1), Height and R309-545-14(2), Shoebox Lid. This exception is being requested for the Tintic Consolidated Tank #1 (ST001), Tintic Consolidated Tank #2 (ST002), Tintic
Consolidated Tank #3 (ST003), Tintic Consolidated Tank #4 (ST004), and Tintic Consolidated Tank #5 (ST005). The R309-545-14(1) rule states that “There shall be at least one opening above
the level of the overflow, which shall be framed at least 4-inches above the surface of the roof at the opening; or if on a buried tank, shall be elevated at least 18 inches above any
earthen cover over the tank.”The R309-545-14(2) rule states that “The frame of any access opening shall be provided with a close-fitting solid shoebox type cover which extends down around
the frame at least two inches and is furnished with a gasket(s) between the lid and frame.”You propose the following to provide adequate protection for public health and safety and meetthe
intent of the rule: The storage tanks are housed in a building sheltered from the environment. Although the lid does not have a 2-inch overhang, the gasket when installed will prevent
any contamination from directly entering the tank through the lid, the lid is raised above the tank, the domed shape of the lid prevents water from standing on it.On this basis, temporary
exceptions to Rules R309-545-14(1), Height and R309-545-14(2) Access Openings, Shoebox Lid requirement is hereby granted for the Tintic Consolidated Tank #1 (ST001), Tintic Consolidated
Tank #2 (ST002), Tintic Consolidated Tank #3 (ST003), Tintic Consolidated Tank #4 (ST004), and Tintic Consolidated Tank #5 (ST005) with the followingconditions:A gasket will be added
to the lid for all the tanks.Continued Tank Hatch AssessmentsThe System will visually inspect the tank access openings monthly for any unintended leakage into the tank or deterioration
of the gasket.Continued Compliance with all monitoring requirements to ensure public health is protected.The System will continue to comply with all operational monitoring requirements
for their System, including but not limited to routine monthly bacteriological monitoring and other source monitoring requirements.This exception will expire on October 30, 2027.Exceptions
granted by the Division now include an expiration date to ensure that both the Division’s databases and the System’s facility information are kept current. Should the System replace
the storage tank with a new facility following Division Plan Approval procedures prior to this expiration date, this exception will become nullified.The System will be eligible to request
an exception to be reinstated prior to the expiration date in the event circumstances at the site remain unchanged and all above conditions have been met. It is the System’s responsibility
to request the exception reinstatement prior to this expiration date.Failure to do so will result in a significant deficiency of V008, Tank Access Height and V010, Storage Tank Lid not
shoebox style automatically posted to the System Improvement Priority System (IPS) Report.You must fulfill and comply with the condition of the exception, or this approval isinvalid.The
issuance of this Operating Permit with exceptions resolves your water system’s deficiencies related to V008, Tank Access Height and V010, Storage Tank Lid not shoebox style for ST001
to ST005. An updated IPS report isavailable at https://waterlink.utah.gov. Please contact Jennifer Yee at [phone] or [e-mail] for questions related to your water system’s
IPS report or deficiencies.
