RE: Operating Permit Request - Bear River Water Conservancy District, Harper Ward Well Transmission
Line, System #02068, File #14857, SRF #3S1849

Dear Mr. Newberry:
We are writing to inform the Division that Bear River Water Conservancy District (BRWCD) has
completed this project and the items on the operating permit checklist for the Harper Ward Well
Transmission Line project.
Attached are the completed operating permit checklist as provided by the Division in the plan approval
letter dated June 27, 2024 and the results from the bacteriological samples. No significant changes were
made to the previously approved plans and the water system has the record drawings. This letter is
certification of Rule Conformance and that the conditions of Plan Approval were accomplished.
If you have any further questions regarding this project, please notify us of them for response. BRWCD
looks forward to receiving the operating permit for this project.

Sincerely,
