Dani,
Our pump supplier sent us a proposal for NSF 61 cerfied pumps. We are curious on if we need this cerficaon
because these pumps will be placed before the GAC filters and before chlorinaon, so these pumps will not interact
with "finished" water. Would it be alright to use non-NSF 61 cerfied pumps for this applicaon (using same materials
even if they are not cerfied) or would we need more extensive filtraon or treatment aer non-cerfied pumps?
Addionally, we would like to add a standard floor drain to the building. Can this drain go directly to the
backwash/drainage pond that lies behind the building?
Thanks,
Rachel

Thanks, Dani, for geng back so quickly.
I have been reaching out to NEPA Reviewers and struggling to make contact due to a high volume of project requests
they likely get. I'll connue on that path for now.

Hi Rachel,
I personally have not been involved in NEPA in the past so I don't really have any useful guidance for you on this
unfortunately. As your Drinking Water permitting engineer I will not be reviewing any NEPA items. I am not sure if the
State Revolving Fund people care but that depends on if the money you're receiving is state or federal.

Awesome, thank you Dani.
Addionally, we are hoping you could provide some guidance with NEPA tasks we have already completed, one
being our obligaon to reach out to all cross-cung agencies. Per our last meeng, we gained your response on
behalf of DDW, though we sll have some agencies that have not responded.
In your experience, do firms oen reach out mulple mes to elicit a response, or is one message and waing the
30-day parcipaon period sufficient. Also, as our review engineer, will you be reviewing our NEPA items or would a
NEPA review engineer for Region 8 do so?
To recap, we believe our project meets the requirements for a CATEX and need to connue moving forward on
design to stay on schedule, though want to follow NEPA standards. Ideally, we would like to know if we need a
response from the Army Corps due to the backwash basin that was flagged onsite (that is actually a man-made
basin, or a non-jurisdiconal wetland instead of jurisdiconal) since they deal with wetlands.
Do you have any guidance for this for us?

Just wanted to provide you with an update on Green River schedules and melines.
Our goal is to have 60% design done by the end of June for your review and get to 90% by the end of July for your
review. If all goes to plan, then we could have 100% done in August and get to bidding in September. Are there

Hi Rachel,
That is correct, you should be using an NSF 61 certified pump. The ANSI/NSF 61 certification has nothing to do with
finished/unfinished water. This certifies that the material in contact with drinking water does not leach chemical
contaminants or impurities into the water.
As for the floor drain, yes that is acceptable. Best practice is to keep it as its own pipe going out to the backwash with an
air gap so that a water backup in the building is unlikely.

Hi Rachel,
We will need the project notification form filled out, attached. The plan review number for this project is #15683. Please
also send the design plans and specifications. When you submit, include in the cc list the state revolving fund project
coordinator you're working with. Currently Michael Grange is assigned ([e-mail]).
I've also included our miscellaneous treatment checklist. This is not overly helpful for GAC since we don't have any design
standards at the state level yet.
Let me know if you have any followup questions.

Dani,
We are discussing some alternaves to chemical leak detecon in the buried chemical feed line between the exisng
facility and the new facility. Looks like having a handbox that can be opened to view the sloped conduit pipes around
the chemical tubing will be more expensive than foreseen.
We propose using a flow switch on the line instead. This would provide an immediate alarm for an immediate
response to the leak. Through this we would not require a handbox or need delicate sloping in this conduit pipe.
If you are happy with this chemical detecon method, both us and the prime consultant are curious to see if a
conduit pipe is sll required. Our main goal with the flow switch is to omit the handbox.
Apologies if we already coordinated on this. I just returned from some me off work and couldn't find any previous
emails on this, though my email inbox is a mess and I may have missed it!
Best,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
The flow switch sounds great. I still would like to see a conduit pipe included to provide secondary containment of the
chlorine pipe. This would also make it easier to replace the pipe in the event that it broke.

Dani,
Our goal is to have 100% plans to you on 9/16 if all goes well! That being said we know that it may take you close to a
month to finish your review due to all of your survey travel.
I just wanted to highlight some dates that you will see in the bidding documents. Our hope with this is to help speed
up the bidding process to get a contractor lined up ASAP, knowing that there may be small comments from the state
that need to be addressed by addendum, though we would really like to avoid addendums with major design details.
The dates are as follows:
Adverse for bids: 10/2 (2 weeks into review period)
Prebid meeng: 10/10 (3 weeks into review period)
Bids due: 10/23 (past 4 weeks for review period)
Please let me know if you have any concerns with this meline.

Hi Rachel,
Sorry for the long wait time. Hopefully my comments are minor and can be accommodated.
Can you clarify where the backwash water for the GAC vessels come from? And where does it go after backwash?
With the GAC units only being used part of the year, are you also keeping the current chlorine injection point for
when GAC is not in use?
Detail 9/P701 Air vac discharge line should terminate 12-inches above the ground and be screened with a #14
screen.
Sheet P203, vent from the wet well should terminate 12-inches above the ground and be screened with a #14
screen. From the elevations it looks like it will meet this. But hopefully have in there the screen requirement.
It looks like the overflow from the wet well connects into the storage tank overflow and uses the same headwall.
Please confirm if this is correct.
Since the water in the wet well is considered "finished" water, meaning it has already gone through the filters, the
access opening needs to be at least 4-inches off the ground with a lockable shoebox style lid.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Rachel,
Sorry for the long wait me. Hopefully my comments are minor and can be accommodated.
Can you clarify where the backwash water for the GAC vessels come from? And where does it go after backwash?
Backwash water comes from the wet well that is post-treatment from the existing filters. Backwash
water waste is directed to their existing backwash pond.
With the GAC units only being used part of the year, are you also keeping the current chlorine injection point for
when GAC is not in use? Yes, The existing chemical feed location is maintained for when this facility is
not in use. See Sheet P003. This sheet shows a bubble for construction note 1 where we add valving
to divert chlorine flow to either the GAC facility or the existing location. Sheet IC102 shows a little note
for "Route to Existing Injection Location" as well to help the Contractor see the original location is
maintained.
Detail 9/P701 Air vac discharge line should terminate 12-inches above the ground and be screened with a #14
screen. This discharge is routed to the nearest drain which is spec'ced to provide at minimum an 18-inch air gap.
We will amend to make sure this is screened.
Sheet P203, vent from the wet well should terminate 12-inches above the ground and be screened with a #14 screen. From
the elevaons it looks like it will meet this. But hopefully have in there the screen requirement. We currently have a
smaller, 24-mesh screen. Would you like us to amend to 14-mesh? The downward screened face is about 18-
inches above the ground.
It looks like the overflow from the wet well connects into the storage tank overflow and uses the same headwall.
Please confirm if this is correct. Yes, the overflow from the wet well does connect to the clearwell overflow and
exisng headwall. The max possible flow overflow would be 1,000 gpm from the wet well, or the clearwell, or
that flow split between the two. Through any of these scenarios, 1,000 gpm can be sufficiently carried through
the 12" overflow line.
Since the water in the wet well is considered "finished" water, meaning it has already gone through the filters, the
access opening needs to be at least 4-inches off the ground with a lockable shoebox style lid. Sheet S101 has a

defined. Is a curb sufficient to meet the 4" raised requirement? Spec 08 31 23 paragraph 2.01G states that the
lid must lock posively.

HI Rachel,
Thank you for your responses. The #24 screen is perfectly fine if that is what you have called out. In regards to the access
hatch, I've attached a photo that shows what I would be looking for.
This one is more than 4-inches, but shows the idea. The hatch is elevated off the ground and has a shoebox lid. The flat
lids should not be used for finished water.

Hi Rachel,
I have the PA letter drafted and ready to be sent for approval. I just need to receive updated drawings showing the
updated hatch in the new building.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Yes, the specs define the lid as closing "flush with the frame and shall lock posively when shut", which is the same as
a shoe-box style.

One of our survey questions on sanitary surveys is that finished water storage has shoe-box style lids. However, I
understand your point as it functionally being the same. I can write an exception to include with the plan approval.
However, these are temporary and Green River will be responsible for renewing that every three years. Here are the
requirements for an exception: https://deq.utah.gov/drinking-water/exceptions-to-rule-requirements. The rule to reference
is R309-545-14(2) Shoebox Lid.
You can send that letter directly to me with the updated drawings once you get those.

Dani,
Thank you for allowing an excepon if needed and we appreciate your flexibility. However, we would prefer avoiding
an excepon. Let me know if this will require a change to the specificaons to specifically state "shoebox" in addion
to the spec descripon and hatch curb detail (shows lip overlaps edges to prevent debris and water from entering). If
the ulity receives a shoebox lid, will we sll have to get an excepon because of the terminology in the specs?
Apologies for the quesons, I just want to make sure we are on the same page of what is required for this. Let me
know if a call would be easier!
Thanks,
Rachel

Ideally yes the specification and the hatch called out to be installed being a shoebox type type that meets the rule R309-
545-14(2):
The frame of any access opening shall be provided with a close-fitting, solid shoebox type cover that extends down around
the frame at least 2 inches and is furnished with a gasket(s) between the lid and frame. The horizontal surface of the tank lid
shall not have any openings, cracks, or penetrations, such as a lock, key hole, or bolted handle that would allow contaminants
to enter the tank.
If that is what gets installed then there is no need for an exception. However, if that is not what ends up being installed they will
need an exception after in order to not be assigned a deficiency during a sanitary survey.

Dani,
I was a part of the loan closing process earlier today and sounds like Alyson will need the plans to be approved. Can
we get review approval before we enact that change order we discussed for the access hatch? Or would a beer
workflow be to get an exempon now, get that change order, and not have to re-apply for that exempon in the
future? If we go the second route, would that incur any addional costs for Green River?
Best,
Rachel

There would either need to be the change order with updated plans and specs sent to me or get an exception included in
the plan approval. If granted an exception you would not need to renew it if what is installed meets the design rule. If you
want to proceed with an exception, please submit an exception request as detailed in our November 21st
correspondence.
As of right now there are no costs associated with having, obtaining, or renewing exceptions. Further, an exception for a
shoebox lid would also not come with any additional sampling that would incur additional costs to Green River.

Thank you. We will pursue an exempon for now to expedite the plan approval process.
I have draed an exempon request leer and will have Green River review to submit to you. Hopefully we can get
that to you by the end of the week or early next week.

I have been asked to provide an update on the plan approval process. Any updates on the exempon request and
plan approval? Our November 15th correspondence shows the updated hatch curb on the drawings that you had
requested.

Hi Rachel,
It is in the queue. I am waiting on approvals and some additional language from our rule managers, then Allyson will
review it, then my manager will approve it, and finally the assistant director will approve it. Sorry it is a lengthy process.

Dani,
Thank you for the update! Do you expect this process to have our plan approval completed in the next week or so?
We are scheduled to close our SRF loan December 18th and Allyson recommended we have plan approval completed
before then.
If not, then should we pursue a different workflow?
Thank you for your help with this.

I would assume it should be reviewed and approved by December 18th. Unfortunately, there is not a separate workflow.
I've let Allyson know that I have everything I need in order to complete the Plan Approval so if it is not sent out hopefully
that can cover the requirement.
