Dear Joseph White:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the Oquirrh Point Well from your consultant, Robert Rousselle and Ensign Engineering
on October 21, 2024. Preliminary Evaluation Report comments were submitted on October 30, 2024. Comments were received on November 18, 2024.
We understand that this project consists of the drilling of 16-inch diameter drinking water production well to a depth of approximately 900 feet below ground surface, including a 30-inch
diameter surface casing to a depth of 110 feet. The project will consist of drilling, completion, development, and test pumping of the 16-inch well. Static water level is expected to
be at approximately 420 to 480 feet below ground surface. The Oquirrh Point Well is identified as WS002 in the Division’s database.
We have received the following information for Oquirrh Point Well:
Plans and specifications for borehole and well drilling.
Preliminary Evaluation Report
Valid Start Card
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped, and signed by Robert Rousselle, P.E., and dated October 20, 2024, and found they basically comply with the applicable
portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems. On this basis, the plans for drilling Oquirrh Point Well are hereby approved. This approval pertains to well
drilling, development, aquifer testing, and disinfection of Oquirrh Point Well only. Please be aware that discharge permits may be required by Utah Division of Water Quality for discharges
generated during well drilling and aquifer drawdown testing.
The Utah Division of Water Rights (State Engineer’s Office) regulates the drilling of water wells. Before the drilling of a well commences, the well driller must receive a start card
from the State Engineer’s Office. Please be aware that, for public drinking water supply wells, in addition to the Division of Drinking Water’s R309-515 rule, the Division of Water Rights’
rule R655-4 also applies and shall be followed.
After drilling is completed, you are required to submit additional information outlined in R309-515-6(5)(b) and (c) for review andobtain an approval from the Director for equipping this
well and constructing discharge piping and infrastructure necessary for introducing the well water into the distribution system. After obtaining the well equipping approval, you’ll then
be required to obtain an Operating Permit before Oquirrh Point Well may be put in service. A checklist outlining the well approval process, including the items required for well equipping
and an Operating Permit, is enclosed for your information.
Please label the well water sample collected for new source chemical analysis with your water system number UTAH23094 and WS002 (for both the facility ID and sample point ID) on all
laboratory forms for each individual source. This will ensure proper identification and entry of the new source chemical analysis results in our database.
Approvals or permits from the local authority or 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 materials have not been ordered within one year of the date of this letter.
Preliminary Evaluation Report Concurrence
The Division has also reviewed the Preliminary Evaluation Report (PER) for this source submitted by your consultant on October 21, 2024. The Division requested revisions to the PER on
October 30, 2024, and your consultant provided revisions on November 11, 2024. The
Division concurs with this report. This report must be refined, and a complete Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan submitted within one year of the date of this letter. Refer
to R309-600-13(6) and R309-600-7(1).
Please contact Noah Zorsky at [phone] or at [e-mail] if you have questions or concerns about the review of your Preliminary Evaluation Report.
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact Brent Arns, of this office, at [phone], or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
