West Corinne Water Co, System #02022, File #13160

Dear Cary McFarland:

The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the
proposed Anderson Well #2 drilling from your consultant, Brandon Nielsen, P.E., with JUB
Engineers on October 13, 2022.

We understand that this project consists of the installation of a 30-inch diameter surface
conductor casing drilled to a depth of 60 feet, a 16-inch diameter well casing drilled to a depth of
400 feet with a 16-inch diameter stainless steel well screen below 275 feet. A certified cement
grout surface seal will be installed to a depth of 100 feet with a transition plug and bentonite seal
transitioning to a gravel pack down to the bottom of the borehole. A 2-inch diameter gravel feed
tube will be installed from the surface to the gravel pack. A conductor casing seal to a depth of
60 feet and a cover plate will be installed. The Anderson Well #2 is identified as WS010 in the
Division’s database.

We have received the following information for Anderson Well #2 Drilling:

1. Plans and specifications for borehole and well drilling.
2. Preliminary Evaluation Report.
3. Project Notification Form.
4. Project Contract Documents.

We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped, and signed by Brandon
Nielsen, P.E., and dated October 13, 2022, and found they basically comply with the applicable
portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems. On this basis, the
plans for drilling Anderson Well #2 are hereby approved on the following condition:

1. A valid Start Card from the Division of Water Rights must be submitted to the Division
of Drinking Water prior to the start of drilling.

This conditional approval pertains to well drilling, development, aquifer testing, and disinfection
of Anderson Well #2 only. Please be aware that discharge permits may be required by the Utah
Division of Water Quality for discharges generated during well drilling and aquifer drawdown
testing.

The Utah Division of Water Rights (State Engineer’s Office) regulates the drilling of water
wells. Before the drilling of a well commences, the well driller must receive a start card
from the State Engineer’s Office. Please be aware that, for public drinking water supply wells,
in addition to the Division of Drinking Water’s R309-515 rule, the Division of Water Rights’
rule R655-4 also applies and shall be followed.

After drilling is completed, you are required to submit additional information outlined in R309-
515-6(5)(b) and (c) for review and obtain approval from the Director for equipping this well
and constructing discharge piping and infrastructure necessary for introducing the well
water into the distribution system. After obtaining the well-equipping approval, you’ll then be
required to obtain an Operating Permit before Anderson Well #2 may be put in service. A
checklist outlining the well approval process, including the items required for well equipping and
an Operating Permit, is enclosed for your information.

Please label the well water sample collected for new source chemical analysis with your water
system number UTAH02022 and WS010 (for both the facility ID and sample point ID) on all
laboratory forms for each individual source. This will ensure proper identification and entry of
the new source chemical analysis results in our database.

Approvals or permits from the local authority or 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 materials have not
been ordered within one year of the date of this letter.

Drinking Water Source Protection Requirement

The Division concurred with the Preliminary Evaluation Report (PER) for the Anderson Well #2
in a letter dated June 28, 2022. The PER must be refined, and a complete Drinking Water
Source Protection (DWSP) Plan submitted within one year of the date of this letter. Refer to
R309-600-13(6) and R309-600-7(1). You must submit proof that the zones have been provided
to Box Elder County to be covered under their source protection ordinance before the well can
receive an Operating Permit. If you have questions about the source protection requirements,
please contact Deidre Beck, of this office, at [phone] or via email at [e-mail].

If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact Cameron Draney, of this office,
at [phone], or me at [phone].

Sincerely,

Michael Newberry, P.E.
Engineering Manager
