Dear Eli Primmer:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the proposed Submersible Pump Well Replacement Project from you on July 28, 2023.
Review comments were sent to you on August 7, 2023. Sufficient information was received on September 11, 2023, to answer the engineering comments. A finalized Preliminary Evaluation
Report (PER) was received on March 20, 2024.
We understand that this project consists of drilling a replacement well for the Submersible Pump Well (WS001). It is anticipated for the well to be drilled to an approximate total depth
of 230 feet to 320 feet below ground surface. The goal is to be able to produce 100 gallons per minute (gpm) of flow without significant drawdown. It is anticipated to be a 12-inch diameter
borehole with an 8-inch diameter steel casing with a pitless adapter installed. The Submersible Pump Well REPL-1is identified as WS003in the Division’s database.
We have received the following information forthe Submersible Pump Well REPL-1 (WS003):
Plans and specifications for borehole and well drilling,
Preliminary Evaluation Report, and
Valid Start Card from the Division of Water Rights
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped, and signed by Robert Anderson, P.E., and dated June 15, 2022,and found they basically comply with the applicable
portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems. On this basis, the plans for drilling the Submersible Well Pump REPL-1 (WS003) are hereby approved. This approval
pertains to well drilling, development, aquifer testing, and disinfection of the Submersible Pump Well only. Please be aware that discharge permits may be required by Utah Division of
Water Quality for discharges generated during well drilling and aquifer drawdown testing.
The Utah Division of Water Rights (State Engineer’s Office) regulates the drilling of water wells. Before the drilling of a well commences, the well driller must receive a start card
from the State Engineer’s Office. Please be aware that, for public drinking water supply wells, in addition to the Division of Drinking Water’s R309-515 rule, the Division of Water Rights’
rule R655-4 also applies and shall be followed.
After drilling is completed, you are required to submit additional information outlined in R309-515-6(5)(b) and (c) for review andobtain approval from the Director for equipping this
well and constructing discharge piping and infrastructure necessary for introducing the well water into the distribution system. After obtaining the well-equipping approval, you’ll then
be required to obtain an Operating Permit before the Submersible Pump Well REPL-1 may be put in service. A checklist outlining the well approval process, including the items required
for well equipping and an Operating Permit, is enclosed for your information.
Please label the well water sample collected for new source chemical analysis with your water system number UTAH22090 and WS003 (for both the facility ID and sample point ID) on all
laboratory forms for each individual source. This will ensure proper identification and entry of the new source chemical analysis results in our database.
Approvals or permits from the local authority or county may be necessary before beginning construction of this project. As the project proceeds, notice of any changes in the approved
design, as well as any change affecting the quantity or quality of the delivered water, must be submitted to the Division. We may also conduct interim and final inspections of this project.
Please notify us when actual construction begins so that these inspections can be scheduled.
This approval must be renewed if construction has not begun or if substantial materials have not been ordered within one year of the date of this letter.
Preliminary Evaluation Report ConcurrenceThe Division received the Preliminary Evaluation Report (PER) from you on July 28, 2023. The Division requested additional information via email
on August 9, 2023. Revisions to the PER were provided on September 7, 2023, and the Division requested additional information the same day. You provided revisions via email on December
6, 2023, and the Division requested additional information on December 11, 2023. A final PER was submitted on March 20, 2024. We have completed our review of the PER, stamped, and signed
by Robert T. Anderson, P.E., and dated March 20, 2024, and found it basically complies with the applicable portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems.
The Division concurs with this report. This report must be refined, and a complete Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan submitted within one year of the date of this letter.
Refer to R309-600-13(6) and R309-600-7(1). If you have questions about the source protection requirements, please contact Deidre Beck at [phone] or via email at [e-mail].
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact Dani Zebelean, of this office, at [phone], or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
