Dear Craig Christoffersen:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the updated Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan for Well #1 from you on December 31, 2022. The Division received the updated
DWSP plans for the listed spring sources from your consultant, Brett Jones with Jones & Associates Engineers, on January 4, 2024.
We have completed our review of the updated DWSP plan and find that the plan basically complies with the applicable portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water
Systems. The Division concurs with this updated plan. We commend you for establishing a program to protect these sources from present and future contamination. This plan must be updated
often enough to ensure that it reflects current conditions in your protection zones.
The due date for submitting the next updated plan for wells is December 31, 2028.
The due date for submitting the next updated plan for springs is December 31, 2029.
Note
Upper Spring (WS008) was documented as being disconnected from your system in 2014. Therefore, no updates are required for this source. RemindersAs stated in R309-600 and 605: Implementing
DWSP Plans - Each Public Water System (PWS) shall begin implementing each of its DWSP Plans in accordance with the implementation schedule within 180 days after submittal if the plan

potential contamination sources were implemented. Your updated plan will be disapproved, and 25 Improvement Priority System (IPS) points will be assigned for failure to comply with this
requirement.As stated in R309-600 and 605: Recordkeeping - As a DWSP Plan is executed, the PWS shall document any land management strategies that are implemented. Please provide actual
copies of memoranda of understanding, public education programs, bill stuffers, newsletters, or other correspondence documenting the implementation of each land management strategy as
it occurs, in this section of your updated plan.Please contact Noah Zorsky at [phone] or via email at [e-mail] if you have questions or concerns about the review of your
