Subject:Plan Approval, Kingston Canyon Spring Redevelopment (WS001);
Kingston Town, System #16004, File #20567
Dear Bill Sudweeks:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the proposed Kingston Canyon Spring Redevelopment from your consultant, Jason
Brimhall with Sunrise Engineering, on April 2, 2025. Written review comments were sent to your consultant on April 2, 2025, and revised plans and specifications were received on April
8, 2025.
Our understanding of the project is that the existing Kingston Canyon Spring Redevelopment will include replacing approximately 450 feet of spring collection piping, installing 1 new
spring collection box, clearing the spring site of deep-rooted vegetation, repairing the spring enclosure fence, constructing a surface water diversion ditch on the upstream side of
the spring collection area and replacing 87 meters in town with new auto-read meters. The Kingston Canyon Spring is identified as WS001 in the Division’s database.
We have received the following information for the Kingston Canyon Spring Redevelopment:
Plans and specifications for spring redevelopment.
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped and signed by Jason T. Brimhall, P.E., and dated April 1, 2025, and found they basically comply with the applicable
portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems in R309. On this basis, the plans for redeveloping Kingston Canyon Springare hereby approved.
Please label the spring water sample collected for new source chemical analysis with your water system number UTAH16004 and WS001 (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.
This approval pertains to construction only. Following completion of construction, you must obtain an Operating Permit prior to placing Kingston Canyon Springinto service. A checklist
outlining the spring approval process, including the items required for issuing an Operating Permit is enclosed for your information. The operating permit will include requirements for
monthly Escherichia Coli (E. Coli) sampling at Kingston Canyon Spring (WS001), also called assessment monitoring, during the operating period when the spring is accessible for a minimum
of 6 months. This monitoring is required to evaluate the quality of the water coming from Kingston Canyon Spring (WS001) to better protect public health. Additional monitoring and/or
disinfection requirements may be assigned depending on the results of the assessment monitoring. 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 equipment has not been ordered within one year of the date of this letter.
Drinking Water Source Protection Requirement
A revised Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) Plan must be submitted to the Division
within 180 days after the reconstruction or redevelopment of any ground-water source of drinking
water (refer to R306-600-7(2)(f)). The revised plan must address changes in source construction,
source development, hydrogeology, delineation, potential contamination sources, and proposed
land management strategies, if applicable. If redevelopment of the spring(s) did not result in
changes that would affect delineation of the source protection zones, such as increased flow, then
submit a letter or email stating that the project did not impact the source protection zones. If you
have any questions about the source protection requirements contact source protection staff at
[phone].
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact John Chartier, P.E., DEQ Central District Engineer, at [phone], or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.

☐Project Notification Form
☐Preliminary Evaluation Report (PER) concurrence (for new springs)
☐Spring location data
☐Documentation of valid water right(s)
☐If available, an engineer’s or geologist’s statement indicating:
☐The historical record of the spring flow variation
☐Expected minimum flow and the time of the year it will occur
☐Expected maximum flow and the time of the year it will occur
☐Expected average flow
☐The behavior of the spring during drought conditions
☐New source chemical analyses of the spring water (for new springs or existing springs that have not been sampled) [R309-515-4(5)]

☐An assessment of whether the spring is “under the direct influence of surface water” [This assessment can be based on an on-site inspection, known geological conditions, or specific
water analysis results such as an MPA.]
☐Detailed plans and specifications for spring developmentor redevelopment2.Operating Permit to Use the Spring Water
☐Information on the rate of flow developed from the spring
☐Historical spring flow data or a minimum of 3 years of spring flow data — for determining the spring yield and issuing an Operating Permit
☐Current spring flow rate — for issuing a temporary Operating Permit (in case of insufficient flow data for determining the spring yield)
☐ Recorded land use agreements, or documentation that the requirements for coverage under the City/County source protection ordinance have been met
☐Design engineer’s certification of rule conformance with plan approval conditions
☐Design engineer’s certification of rule conformance for any deviation from approved plans
☐As-built or record drawings
☐Proof of satisfactory bacteriological quality
☐Water quality data, where appropriate [If the initial new source sampling indicates unsatisfactory turbidity, the spring water must be re-sampled and proven to have turbidity level
below the MCL.]
