Dear Matt J Sorensen:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the updated Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plans for the Dry Canyon Spring, 2559 S Combe Well, Combe Spring, and Quaking
Aspen Spring: Uintah Highlands Improvement District from your consultant, Matt Hartvigsen with Jones & Associates Engineers, on March 3, 2023.
We have completed our review of the updated DWSP plans and find that they comply with the applicable portions of Utah’s AdministrativeRules for Public Drinking WaterSystems. The Division
concurs with these updated plans. We commend you for establishing a program to protect these sources from present and future contamination. These plans must be updated often enough to
reflect current conditions in your protection zones.
The due date for submitting the next updated plan for your wells is December 31, 2028.
The due date for submitting the next updated plan for your springs is December 31, 2029.RemindersAs stated in R309-600 and 605: Implementing DWSP Plans - Each Public Water System (PWS)
shall begin implementing each of its DWSP Plans in accordance with the implementation schedule within 180 days after submittal if the plan is not disapproved. Be prepared to describe
these efforts in your next update, which should include documentation of how the land management strategies identified for existing and future potential contamination sources were implemented.
Your updated plan will be disapproved, and 25 Improvement Priority System (IPS) points will be assigned for failure to comply with this requirement.As stated in R309-600 and 605: Recordkeeping
- As a DWSP Plan is executed, the PWS shall document any land management strategies that are implemented. Please provide actual copies of memoranda of understanding, public education
programs, bill stuffers, newsletters, or other correspondence documenting the implementation of each land management strategy as it occurs, in this section of your updated plan.
Monitoring Reduction Waivers
Your spring sources were previously approved for use waivers for volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) and pesticides. However, signed use waiver forms were not provided with the updated
plans for renewal. Systems are required to reapply for their use or susceptibility waivers every update cycle (six years) to prevent their waivers from lapsing. If you would like your
sampling schedule to remain the same, please email the signed waiver forms to the contact below. Disregard if you have already provided this.Please contact Noah Zorsky, P.G., at (385)
707-7317 or via email at [e-mail] if you have questions or concerns about the review of your DWSP plan. Contact David Kruse at [phone] or via email at [e-mail]
if you have any questions about your monitoring schedule. To help us serve you more efficiently, please use the water system number (29021) in your correspondence.
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
