Dear Doneva Hecker:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the updated Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan for the Commanche Spring from you on October 16, 2023.
We have completed our review of the updated DWSP plan 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 this updated plan. We commend you for establishing a program to protect this source from present and future contamination. This plan must be updated
often enough to ensure that it reflects current conditions in your protection zones.
The due date for submitting the next updated plan is December 31, 2029.
Important Notice
An updated DWSP plan has not been submitted for Well #1 (WS001). An update for this source was due by December 31, 2022. A deficiency has been placed on this source and IPS points have
been issued. Please submit an updated DWSP plan for Well #1 as soon as possible. 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.
Monitoring Reduction WaiversThis source was previously granted use waivers for VOCs and pesticides, however, an sign waiver form was not provided for waiver renewal. Monitoring reduction
waivers expire every update cycle (six years) and therefore should be renewed with each updated DWSP plan submittal. If you would like to keep your current monitoring schedule, submit
a signed use waiver form (attached) to the DDW contact below. Please contact Noah Zorsky, P.G., at [phone] or via email at [e-mail] if you have questions or concerns about
