Subject: Plan Approval, Campground Expansion with new Pump Station (PF001);
Goblin Valley State Park, System #08024, File #13062

Dear James Wells:

The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the
Goblin Valley State Park Campground Expansion Project from your consultant, Craig Larson of
Johansen and Tuttle Engineering on July 1, 2022. The Division received revised plans and
specifications on October 11, 2022. This project has met the conditions for receiving a plan
approval.

Our understanding of the project is the construction of a new campground area with
approximately 40 new sites each with a water connection, approximately 4,300 feet of 4-inch
diameter PVC water main, and related appurtenances.

A new pump facility (identified as PF001 in the Division’s database) will consist of three (3)
pumps (2 duty, 1 standby) with a design flow of 210 gallons per minute (gpm). The pumps are
Grundfos model CRE 15-2, 5 hp, 3,500 rpm, each capable of 105 gpm.

We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped and signed by Craig
Larson, P.E., dated October 11, 2022, and find 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 Goblin Valley Campground Expansion are hereby approved.

This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the
Director before Goblin Valley Campground Expansion 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.

If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact Russell Seeley, DEQ South East
District Engineer, at [phone], or me at [phone].

Sincerely,

Michael Newberry, P.E.
