Dear Kyle A Christensen:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the revised Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan for Well #1 from your consultant, Jacob Heward with Alpha Engineering,
on January 3, 2023.
We have completed our review of the revised DWSP plan, stamped and signed by Jacob Heward, P.E., and dated December 30, 2022, 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 plan. We commend you for establishing a program to protect this source 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 is December 31, 2028.
Please be aware that the revised source protection zones for this source have now been incorporated into the Division’s Geographic Information System (GIS) database. In addition, these
zones should now appear on the Utah Environmental Interactive Map, so long as this system is currently classified as Public in the Division’s database. The Utah Environmental Interactive
Map can be accessed by visiting enviro.deq.utah.gov. We encourage you to visit the map to confirm that the location of this source and the source protection zones are accurate. If you
need assistance with navigating the map or to report any discrepancies, please call [phone] and ask to speak to source protection staff.RemindersAs stated in R309-600 and 605:

and future 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.
