Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION-TREATMENT TECHNIQUE VIOLATION, WATER SYSTEM UTAH17016 Mike Meek: Our records indicate that your system is in violation of the State of Utah Public Drinking Water
Rules as follows:
On September 21, 2021, Deseret Land and Livestock received three significant deficiencies. The system was notified of these deficiencies on December 19, 2021. These deficiencies remain uncorrected:

M020 Cross connection exists in water system V012 End of storage tank overflow pipe lacks no. 4 screen ST003 V007 Storage tank vent lacks no. 14 screen ST003
Utah Public Drinking Water Rules require all significant deficiencies to be corrected within 120
days of the date of notification or the system must enter into a corrective action plan (CAP) with
the Division to address the significant deficiencies as specified in R309-215-16(3)(a)(v). The system chose not to request a corrective action plan or submit a correction for this deficiency within the given timeframe. This results in the system being assessed a treatment technique violation in accordance with R309-215-16(4)(a) and the assessment of 50
Improvement Priority System (IPS) points to the system’s IPS Report. Be advised this could
adversely affect your water system’s rating (R309-400).
As a result of this Tier 2 violation, the system must provide the public notice as soon as practical, but no later than 30 days after the system learns of the violation. If the public notice is posted, the notice must remain in place for as long as the violation or situation persists, but in no case for less
than seven days, even if the violation or situation is resolved (see R309-220-6(1)(a) and R309-

220-6(1)(b)). This public notice requirement cannot be waived once a violation occurs. Proof of public notification must be provided to the Division at ([e-mail]) within 30 days of notifying the water system customers and resubmitted each quarter the deficiencies remain
unresolved.
If any of the above deficiencies have been corrected, please complete the enclosed IPS Deficiency Correction Notice and submit the information to the Division at [e-mail] immediately. We ask that you respond to this letter as soon as possible. Please contact Jennifer Yee at [phone] or [e-mail] if you have questions or need assistance.
Sincerely,
Mark Berger Rules Section Manager
