Subject:Plan Approval, Well Drilling, Well #2 (WS002);
Lincoln Beach, System #25129, File #21525
Dear Jason Warner:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the Lincoln Beach Well #2 from your consultant, Ted Wallace and Hansen Allen
& Luce Engineers on May 8, 2025. Review comments were sent on May 14, 2025.
We understand that this project consists of the drilling of a 12-inch diameter well borehole to an approximate depth of 500 feet including casing and pumping tests.The Lincoln Beach
Well #2 is identified as WS002 in the Division’s database.
We have received the following information for theLincoln Beach Well #2:
Plans and specifications for borehole and well drilling.
Preliminary Evaluation Report
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped and signed by Ted Wallace, P.G., and dated May 5, 2025,and found they basically comply with the applicable portions
of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems. On this basis, the plans for drilling Lincoln Beach Well #2 are hereby approved. This approval pertains to well drilling,
development, aquifer testing, and disinfection of Lincoln Beach Well #2 only. Please be aware that discharge permits may be required by Utah Division of Water Quality for discharges
generated during well drilling and aquifer drawdown testing.
The Utah Division of Water Rights (State Engineer’s Office) regulates the drilling of water wells. Before the drilling of a well commences, the well driller must receive a start card
from the State Engineer’s Office. Please be aware that, for public drinking water supply wells, in addition to the Division of Drinking Water’s R309-515 rule, the Division of Water Rights’
rule R655-4 also applies and shall be followed.
After drilling is completed, you are required to submit additional information outlined in R309-515-6(5)(b) and (c) for review andobtain an approval from the Director for equipping this
well and constructing discharge piping and infrastructure necessary for introducing the well water into the distribution system. After obtaining the well equipping approval, you’ll then
be required to obtain an Operating Permit before Lincoln Beach Well #2 may be put in service. A checklist outlining the well approval process, including the items required for well equipping
and an Operating Permit, is enclosed for your information.
Please label the well water sample collected for new source chemical analysis with your water system number UTAH25129 and WS002 (for both the facility ID and sample point ID) on all
laboratory forms for each individual source. This will ensure proper identification and entry of the new source chemical analysis results in our database.
Approvals or permits from the local authority or 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 materials have not been ordered within one year of the date of this letter.
Concurrence - Preliminary Evaluation Report
The Division received the Preliminary Evaluation Report (PER) for the Lincoln Beach Well #2 from your consultant, Scott Greenhalgh, and Hansen Allen and Luce Engineers on March 31, 2025,
with additional information requested and submitted on April 7, 2025. The Division concurs with this report. This PER must be refined, and a complete Drinking Water Source Protection
(DWSP) Plan is submitted within one (1) year of the date of this letter. Refer to R309-600-13(6) and R309-600-7(1). You must submit proof that the delineation has been submitted to Utah
County to be covered under the Utah County Drinking Water Source Protection Ordinance before the well can receive an operating permit.
Please contact Melissa Noble, P.G., at (385) 271-7043 or at mnoble@utah.gov if you have questions or concerns about the review of your Preliminary Evaluation Report.
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact Brent Arns, of this office, at (385) 549-7420, or me at (385) 515-1464.
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
