Dear Matt Vellinga:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the proposed Pleasant Creek Campground Water System Improvements from you on
April 9, 2025. Written review comments were provided to you on April 10, 2025. The Division received the revised plans and specifications on April 11, 2025. This project has met the
conditions for receiving a plan approval.
Our understanding of the project is to replace and modify many of the water system facilities as described below:
Distribution System Improvements - The distribution and transmission water lines will be replaced with 5,900 linear feet of 2-inch diameter HDPE pipe and 4,500 linear feet of 3-inch
diameter HDPE pipe. Campground yard hydrants will also be replaced and some valves throughout the water system.
Tank Replacement - The two existing tanks identified as Upper Tank (ST002) and Storage Facility ST001 will be removed and replaced by two new manufactured stainless steel tanks. These
will be identified in the Division’s database as Oak Creek Tank (ST003), which will have a volume of 2,000 gallons and Main Spring Tank (ST004), which will have a volume of 4,000 gallons.
These stainless steel tanks will have two access hatches, an overflow and air vents. They will be manufactured meeting ANSI/NSF 61.
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications stamped and signed byRobert T. Anderson, P.E., dated March 31, 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 the Pleasant Creek Campground Water System Improvements including the
Water Line Replacement, Oak Creek Tank (ST003) and Main Spring Tank (ST004) are hereby approved.
This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the Director before these facilities 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 J. Paul Wright, P.E., DEQ Southwest District office, at [phone], or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
