Hello,
My name is Josh Green and I am the new Agency Opera ons Assistant for the Grand Water and Sewer Service Agency. It's nice to e-meet you.
I am wri ng to you today to let you know that Dana is no longer with GWSSA as she has accepted a posi on with Grand County, and our new Agency Manager is Ben Musselman. I am preparing our CCR, which
made me look for our Source Protec on Plan, and I happened upon an email to Dana, which was sent in January. It was in regards to:
WS006
Residential chemical use was listed as an uncontrolled potential contamination source (PCS) in the original drinking water source protection plan for the Chapman Well. The water system
agreed to manage this PCS by distributing fact sheets that targeted residences in the protection zones. Fact sheets should inform readers of the hazards associated with the PCS of
concern and what best management practices they should follow. This updated plan does not indicate that the system implemented this management strategy. Please provide a copy of
the public education material that was distributed to residences in the protection zones and indicate the date of distribution. We are not asking the system to make this
information up. If public education material has not been distributed, please do so as soon as possible and provide the Division with a dated copy. We will need to see that the system has
implemented this management strategy before we can concur with this plan.
To fulfil this requirement the system can include fact sheets in a bill stuffer or CCR; I've attached relevant fact sheets below. Language derived from the fact sheets can also be added to
the CCR to meet the public education requirement. The system can also simply include a link on their mailers directing readers to a webpage with source protection information and PCS
fact sheets. Salt Lake City has a good example of this method that you can reference here. Whichever method is chosen, the Division requires that this be implemented at least once
every update cycle (six years).
Most systems have not been implementing their plans so plan implementation is now enforced since the re-enactment of the IPS rule in January of 2020. Lack of plan implementation is considered a significant deficiency and
could result in 25 Improvement Priority Points being assigned for failure to comply. As a courtesy, I can provide 90 days from the date of this email to address this issue, before I draft a formal disapproval letter.
I apologize for the delayed response as Dana's email isn't checked very o en as it usually forwards to us. I checked to see if Dana had sent out a fact sheet before she had le early last year and did not find one,
so I created one this morning and have a ached it to this email. Would this meet your requirements? If so, I will get this sent out to the protec on zones immediately tomorrow morning via our online delivery
service, which can send to select users via text and email and provide confirma on of delivery. This delivery service is called Yoppify and will cover all protec on zones.
Also, as I am new to this posi on, I was hoping you could point me in the right direc on of our current Source Protec on Plan that is on file with you.
Thank you for your me,
Josh Green
AOA

Hi Josh,
Yes, this fact sheet does meet the public education requirement. Please notify me once distributed so I have recordkeeping documentation of implementation.
Attached are the original DWSP plans for the GWSA sources that are currently active.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks
