Subject:Concurrence, Updated Drinking Water Source Protection Plans for the listed sources; Nephi City; Water System #12003
Dear Justin M Blackett:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the updated Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plans for the listed sources from your consultants, Travis Gadd and Kelly Chappell
with Ensign Engineering, on February 28, 2023.
We have completed our review of the updated DWSP plans and find that they comply with the applicable portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems. 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
ensure that they reflect current conditions in your protection zones.
The due date for submitting the next updated plan for your wells is December 31, 2027.
The due date for submitting the next updated plan for your springs is December 31, 2029.
Note
The updated DWSP plan for the Fire Station Well Repl-1 (WS010) could not be concurred with because the conditions outlined in the conditional concurrence letter from October 2, 2018,
were not addressed. An email discussing the issues was sent to Justin Blacket on December 23, 2024. A response has not been received. Failure to address these issues will result in a
significant deficiency. 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 request to renew your susceptibility waivers for volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) and pesticides has been granted for the Wordwood Well (WS011). You also requested susceptibility
waivers for The Fire Station Well Repl-1 (WS010), however, this source is not eligible because the requirements of R309-600-16(4)(c) have not been met. Your monitoring schedule remains
the same for these sources.
Your request for a renewal of your use waivers for volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) and pesticides has been granted for the Marsh Spring (WS001), Bradley Spring (WS002), and Lower
Bradley Spring (WS006). Your sampling schedule remains the same for these sources.Please contact Noah Zorsky, P.G., at [phone] or via email at [e-mail] if you have questions
or concerns about the review of your DWSP plan. To help us serve you more efficiently, please use the water system number (12003) in your correspondence.
