General System Information
Exception Granted: R309-550-7(1) | Sewer Laterals crossing water line lack vertical clearance for Kimball Estates Subdivision.
Exception Granted: R309-550-7(1) | The project is in West Point City which provides wastewater disposal services for this area to a discharge point
on a North Davis Sewer District trunk line. Because of terrain constraints in this area, the basic separation standards identified in the paragraph
immediately above cannot be met in some locations and an exception to the Rule is being requested.
Exception Granted: R309-550-7(1) | West Point City intends to construct a gravity sewer system in western Davis County. The sewer mains have
very tight tolerances and must be installed at depths that will conflict with existing water facilities.
Exception Granted: R309-550-7(1) | The involved project is in West Point City which provides wastewater disposal services for this
area to a discharge point on a North Davis Sewer District trunk line. Because of terrain constraints
in this area, the basic separation standards cannot be met in three locations where the water and
sewer lines cross.
Exception Granted: R309-550-7(1) | Hooper Water Improvement District intends to construct system improvements in 4500 W from 700 S to 200 S
this winter in West Point City. Because of slope constraints in this area, the basic separation standards cannot be met in some locations where the
water and sewer lines cross.
Exception Granted: R309-550-7(1) | The involved project is in West Point City which provides wastewater disposal services for this area to a
discharge point on a North Davis Sewer District trunk line. Because of terrain constraints in this area, the basic separation standards cannot be met
in some locations where the water and sewer lines cross.
Exception Granted: R309-550-7(1) | The project is in the West Haven Special Service District which provides wastewater disposal
services for this area. Because of the relative flatness of the area, the sewer is designed as flat as permissible to allow service of the area. The
sewer in this area remains approximately 5 feet deep at the intersection of 3490 South and 4250 West. The culinary water service which Hooper
Water
Improvement District (HWID) provides is required to have a minimum of three and one-half feet of cover to prevent freezing. For this reason,
exceptions to the standard separation rule are requested for 13 locations throughout the subdivision. The locations for which this exception is being
requested include the sewer lateral crossings for Units 563-573, the sewer main line crossing at the intersection of 3490 South and 4250 West, and
the water lateral crossings for Units 560-561, and 575-581.
Exception Granted: R309-550-7(1) | Hooper Water Improvement District intends to construct system improvements in the remaining utility corridor
within Hooper City Public right-of-way. These improvements include improvements to water lines near the vacuum sewer, which is under constant
vacuum, and improvements to the forced main sewer.
Exception Granted: R309-550-7(1) | The Bailey Commercial District is located in West Haven City of Weber County at approximately 3975 South
and 34 25 West. The wastewater collection service lines in the area relativity shallow to maintain the discharge point to the Central Weber trunk
line. This wastewater collection service depth is relatively shallow and approximates near the culinary water lines. The culinary water services that
Hooper Water Improvement District provides meet the minimum three feet of cover, to prevent freezing, but reduces the already limited vertical
clearance to the sewer services in the area.
Exception Granted: R309-550-7(1) | Harvest Fields 7 & 8 are located in West Point City. West Point City is in a relative flat area and the depth
West Point City provides wastewater collection service lines in the area to discharge to the North Davis Sewer District is relatively shallow and
approximates near the culinary water lines. The culinary water services that Hooper Water Improvement District provides meet the minimum three
feet of cover, to prevent freezing, but reduces the already limited vertical clearance to the sewer services in the area.

ensure continuous service when the primary power has been interrupted, a redundant
power supply is required. A redundant power supply may include a transfer switch for
auxiliary power such as a generator or a power supply service with coverage from two
independent substations. This significant deficiency must be corrected within 120 days
of notification or have a corrective action plan approved by DDW.

Exception Granted: R309-545-15(1) | On September 29, 2016, the Division of Drinking Water (the Division) performed a sanitary survey of the
Hooper Water Improvement District. During this survey, it was noted that the air relief type vent on 2 MG North Tank is not downturned a minimum
of 2 inches below any opening and shielded to prevent the entrance of contaminants as required but R309-545-15(1) Inverted Vent.

The basis for your request for an exception to R309-545-15(1) is that the tank has a standard air vent that can handle the air flow under most
circumstances. The second air-relief type vent is not downturned as required by rule, but is rarely open and when it is, is only open for short periods
of time. The vent has a piston type opening that remains closed and sealed unless additional air flow is needed beyond normal conditions-
operating very similarly to an air relief valve. The air relief vent is protected with #14 screen and a heavier gauge screen. On this basis, an
exception to R309-545-15 (1), Inverted Vent, is hereby granted for the Air Relief type vent for the 2 MG North Tank (ST002).

downstream catch basin with a grated lid. The grated cover of the catch basin would be D&L N-9222 type (320 pounds, 19" by 48.5"). The
dedicated drop manhole receives drinking water discharge from Well #2 and the adjacent tank, and does not collect any surface drainage. The
downstream catch basin recieves the inflow from the drop manhole, as well as collects the surface drainage from the curb and gutter between the
drop manhole and the catch basin. The proposed engineering schematic shows that the top of the grated lid of the catch basin is 20 inches below
the flowline of the drainline entering the drop manhole.

We hereby grant the exceptions to the tank overflow requirements in R309-545-13 and approve the modification of the referenced drain line as

Iron & Manganese Removal. Water is

is working.
195 Walk me through the different process steps of your treatment plant. What is the
purpose of each step? Show me how you determine you are meeting your Treatment
Requirements.
The water is pumped from the well and
chlorine is added to the water. The water
then runs through the sand filters and goes
into a storage tank. (Notes: The chlorine is
added as an oxidant and the sand filters are
used to remove the iron and manganese in
the water.)

197 How is the chemical dose adjusted with flow and water quality? Prompts: What flow
rate is used for the adjustment (influent, effluent, CFE)? What water quality
parameters would make you change dose rate?
A flow meter on the influent flow is used to
measure flow rates and SCADA handles
chemical dose adjustments. The Iron and
Manganese are removed due to taste and
odor, so issues with taste and odor post
treatment would cause employees to make
changes.
