Dear Bret Nicholson:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the updated Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plans for the Middle Canyon Well, Murray Canyon Upper Spring, and Murray Canyon
Lower Spring from your consultant, Jacob Clegg with Ensign Engineering, on September 22 and November 17, 2023.
We have completed our review of the updated DWSP plans 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 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 well 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.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,
