Water Line Replacement Project; Kamas City Water System, System #22007, File
#13267

Dear Trevor Clegg:

The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the Left
Hand Fork Spring Transmission Line and Kamas Fish Hatchery Water Line Replacement project
from your consultant, Robert Worley, P.E. with Sunrise Engineering, Inc. on February 8, 2023.
Additional information was requested and received on February 22, 2023. This project has met the
conditions for receiving a plan approval.

Our understanding of the project is the replacement of the Left Hand Fork Spring transmission
line from the spring box to the splitter box and the water line from the splitter box that diverts the
water to the Kamas Fish Hatchery connection. In addition, new flow meters and air vents will be
added to the splitter box junction. The transmission line from the spring box to the splitter box
will be increased in size from a 10-inch to 16-inch diameter HDPE pipe and the line going to the
Kamas Fish Hatchery will be replaced with a 12-inch diameter HDPE DR17 pipe.

We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped and signed by Robert
Worley, P.E., dated February 3, 2023, 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 the Left Hand Fork Spring Transmission Line and Kamas Fish Hatchery Water
Line Replacement project are hereby approved.

This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the
Director before the water lines 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, a 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 Julie Cobleigh, of this office, at
[phone], or me at [phone].

Sincerely,

Michael Newberry, P.E.
