Dear Rod Dastrup:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the proposed Holden Town Culinary Water Improvements Project from your consultant,
Jesse Ralphs with Sunrise Engineering, on November 18, 2024. Written review comments were provided to your consultant on November 21, 2024. The Division received the revised plans and
specifications on December 11, 2024. This project has met the conditions for receiving a plan approval.
Our understanding of the project is that a new 500,000-gallon concrete tank (ST005) will be constructed at the same location and elevation as the existing 200 K (ST001) and 300 K (ST004)
tanks. The existing 90 K (ST003) and 150 K (ST002) tanks will be demolished and removed to accommodate the new tank. The Bennett Spring Chlorinator (TP001) will be modified to add a
separate room that will house the existing gas chlorination system. The access hatches on the spring boxes at the Bennett and McKee Springs will be replaced with aluminum shoe-box style
hatches. New measurement weirs will be installed in both of those spring boxes. Distribution system upgrades will include replacing certain sections of piping to improve fire flow capacity
and new auto-read meters will be installed for all of the existing water services.
This project also includes a new well, the Dobson Well (WS004), well house and well transmission pipeline. Those improvements are being reviewed separately under the Division’s file
review #13234.
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped, and signed by Jesse M. Ralphs, P.E., dated November 13, 2024,and found they basically comply with the applicable
portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems in R309. On this basis, the plans for the Holden Town Culinary Water Improvements Projectare hereby approved.
This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the Director before the facilities associated with this plan approval may be put in service. A
checklist outlining the items required for operating permit issuance is enclosed for your information.Approvals or permits from the local authority or the 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 equipment has not been ordered within one year of the date of this letter.The project, as described herein,
is generally eligible for assistance under the Drinking Water Construction Assistance Program. All change orders must be reviewed and approved for compliance with the Drinking Water
Rules and the conditions of this construction approval.The project may now be advertised for bids. But, as a condition of the project funding, you must not award the contract or proceed
with construction until the Division of Drinking Water has authorized you to do so. This is necessary to comply with applicable requirements and to protect you, as the funding recipient,
by ensuring that the contract meets requirements for funded projects. Federal regulations require that a concerted effort must be made to encourage participation of small and disadvantaged
business enterprises (DBE) by providing requisite information, including plans and specifications on the project. In order to provide opportunities to DBE subcontractors, utilization
goals for Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBE) have been determined to be 4% and 2%, respectively. As outlined in the contract documents,
the prime contractor must submit a list of prepared MBE/WBE subcontractors to be used on this project and documentation of solicitation efforts with the bid. The prime contractor's efforts
to provide opportunity to DBE's must be reviewed and approved by this office before the contract can be awarded.
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact John Chartier, P.E., DEQ Central District Engineer, at [phone], or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
