The Division requested additional information via email on February 20, 2024. This information was received on January 30, 2025. We have completed our review of the DWSP plan, stamped and signed by Kelly Chappell, P.E., and dated February 27, 2023, and find that the plan basically complies with the applicable portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems. The Division concurs with this plan. We commend you for establishing a program to protect these sources from present and future contamination. This plan must be updated often enough to ensure that it reflects current conditions in your protection zones. The due date for submitting the next updated plan is December 31, 2029. Please be aware that the source protection zones for these sources have now been incorporated into the Division’s Geographic Information System (GIS) database. In addition, these zones should now appear on the Utah Environmental Interactive Map, so long as this system is currently classified as Public in the Division’s database. The Utah Environmental Interactive Map can be accessed by visiting enviro.deq.utah.gov. We encourage you to visit the map to confirm that the location of these sources and the source protection zones are accurate. If you need assistance with navigating the map or to report any discrepancies, please call (801) 536-4200 and ask to speak to source protection staff.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.
