Dear Jim Levanger:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received revised plans and specifications for the proposed Well House project from your consultant, Jordan DeMann, and
CRS Engineering on February 25, 2025. The Division issued Plan Approval for Well Equipping of Winter Quarters Well #2 (WS003) and Well House on September 3, 2024. Following Plan Approval,
bids were received by Scofield Town that exceeded project funding. Scofield Town then decided to remove the new Well House from the project scope and to retrofit an existing vault to
route flows to the storage tank. This project has met the conditions for receiving a plan approval.
Our understanding of the revised project, with respect to the Well House, is the retrofitting of an existing vault that currently receives flows from Well #1 (WS002) to also receive
flows from Well #2 (WS003). Flows will then be routed from the vault to the storage tank that then gravity feeds the distribution system.
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped and signed byJordan DeMann, P.E., dated February 25, 2025, and find 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 Well House are hereby approved.
This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the Director before Well House may be put in service. A checklist outlining the items required
for operating permit issuance is enclosed for your information.
Approvals or permits from the local authority or the 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.
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact Curtis Page, P.E., of this office, at [phone], or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
