Dear Angie Taylor:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan for the Zion Red Rock Well from your consultant, Richard Emerson with Cascade
Water Resources, on April 30, 2025.
We have completed our review of the DWSP plan, stamped and signed by Richard Emerson, P.G., and dated April 30, 2025, 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 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, 2028.
Please be aware that the source protection zones for this source have now been incorporated into the Division’s Geographic Information System (GIS) database. In addition, these zones
should now appear on the Utah Environmental Interactive Map, so long as this system is currently classified as Public in the Division’s database. The Utah Environmental Interactive Map
can be accessed by visiting enviro.deq.utah.gov. We encourage you to visit the map to confirm that the location of this source and the source protection zones are accurate. If you need
assistance with navigating the map or to report any discrepancies, please call [phone] and ask to speak to source protection staff.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.Please contact Noah Zorsky, P.G., at [phone] or via email at [e-mail] if you have questions or concerns about the review
of your DWSP plan. Contact David Kruse at [phone] or via email at [e-mail] if you have any questions about your monitoring schedule. To help us serve you more efficiently,
please use the water system number (27115) in your correspondence.
Sincerely,
