Dear Mr. Sweeney:
Subject: Public Drinking Water Requirements for Indian Crossing
Campground, System #05040
Indian Crossing Campground has been considered a non public system
however, after review of our files it has been detennined that it is a public
water system. Because it would serve more than 15 connections, further it
would be classified as a transient non-community public water system, as
defined in the Utah Public Drinking Water Rules, Section 101.0,1. You may
obtain a copy ofthe rules from our website at
http://drinkingwater.utah.gov/rules.htm. or by calling [phone].
The Public Drinking Water Rules require compliance in five specific areas as
follows:
1. Plan Approval
An engineering evaluation describing the current physical facilities would
need to be subnutted to ensure compliance with the construction standards.
The evaluation must be approved in writing by the Executive Secretary.
2. Source Protection
A source protection plan would have to be developed for your well. The
Source Protection User's Guide and Standard Report Format for this plan can
be obtained at:
www.drinkJngwater.utah.gov/documents/spec services/per new wells sprin
gs.pdf, or you may call and ask for a staff member in our Special Services
Section at [phone].

3. Cross Connection
A cross connection control program would need to be developed for your system to prevent
any cross contamination. The enclosed cross connection guidance document details how the
program should be implemented.
4. Operator Certification
Operators of non-transient non-community systems serving a population below 500 must
become certified at the Small Systems level. The enclosed Water Operator News describes
the requirement and also how to become certified.
5. Monitoring and Reporting Requirements
A. Bacteriologic Monitoring
At least one routine coliform bacteria sample would be required from the
distribution system and submitted to a certified laboratory each calendar quarter. It
is the responsibility of the system to send a copy of the results to our office by the
10^ of the month. In the event of a coliform positive result, a system is required to
take four repeat samples, followed by a total of five routine samples the following
month.
C. Chemical Monitoring
Your source must sample for new source inorganics and metals. After this initial
sample, Nitrate samples will be due annually and Sulfate samples every three
years.
To help you with possible future required sampling, we have enclosed a list of certified
laboratories that perform the testing. Containers for samples are available from all certified
laboratories.
It appears that your water system is lacking in storage capacity. According to our files, the
campground has 20 sites, including a full time caretaker site and outdoor irrigation. As a semi-
developed camp with pit toilets the following requirements for your system:
Storage:
2.5 gal/person X 4 persons/ site X 20 campsites = 200 gallons
1 RV Pad = 50 gallons
Zone 2 irrigation
1,873 gallons/irtigated acre X 4 irrigated acres = 7.492 gallons
Total storage requirements 7,742 gallons

Source Demand:
5 gal/day/person X 4persons/site X 20 sites = 0.28 gpm
Zone 2 irrigation peak day demand
2.8 gpm/irri&ated acre X 20 acres x 0.2 irrigated acres = 11.2 gpm
Total source demand requirements 11.48 gpm
If you have any questions about these requirements please contact Rachael Cassady, of my staff,
at (801) 536^67.
Sincerely,
DRINKING WATER BOARD
