Mr. Glime:

On June 9, 2025, the Division of Drinking Water received the attached project notification form, plans, and specifications for the
proposed Ion Exchange treatment system project for the Arches National Park HQ water system. This project is referenced as
Water System #10021, File #22382 in our plan review database. Please use these numbers for future correspondence
related to this project. This project will be reviewed by Dani Zebelean. Please contact her at [e-mail] or (385)
278-5110 if you have any questions. Thank you.

Hello everyone!
Thank you for your patience as I reviewed the project for adding Ion Exchange to Arches National Park. I have a few comments that
need to be addressed. Please refer to the rows highlighted in yellow in the attached review sheet.
Outside of the review for rule conformance, for your information, I will add this as a new treatment process to TP002, the water
softener versus creating a new treatment plant. It will make the sanitary survey questions make more sense than have each of the
treatment processes be their own plants.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Danielle,
Thanks for the expedited review on this. I can answer the quesons/comments:
R309-535-4(8): I have not reached out to the Division of Water Quality on the evaporation basin since
it is a total retention system with no discharge. Please let us know if we need to apply for a permit for
this.
R309-535-8(1)(b)(iii): The ion exchange media will be 46" in depth. This information can be found in
Appendix C of the Engineering Report and is also attached to this email. A vessel height of 50" was
selected to accommodate the 46" of media depth. To meet the 46" depth, a 50" tall tank was
specified. We can certainly make it taller if regulations require this. I have checked with the
manufacturer on this, but am double checking. What is the minimum height of these media tanks
required by Utah DEQ?
R309-535-8(1)(b)(viii): Good point on the location of chlorination needing to be downstream of the ion
exchange media. This is not clear on the drawings. The attached schematic shows how the current
chlorine injection point is downstream of the water softeners. However, that is not the way it was
installed. It is currently getting chlorinated prior to treatment. We'll go ahead and make that revision
to the drawings. and resubmit.
Thanks!

Here is a screenshot of the drawings with the note added to move the chlorine injecon locaon. If that works for you,
and pending regs on ion exchange media vessel height, we can restamp the drawings and send them back over.

Here's the response from EcoLab on the ion exchange media vessel height. I'll increase the height to 72" tall.

Thank you Christen for the response!
R309-535-4(8): I have not reached out to the Division of Water Quality on the evaporation basin
since it is a total retention system with no discharge. Please let us know if we need to apply for a
permit for this. I am currently checking with water quality. I will let you know what Woody says about
it. This will not hold up a Plan Approval if you do need to work through their permitting process.

specified. We can certainly make it taller if regulations require this. I have checked with the
manufacturer on this, but am double checking. What is the minimum height of these media tanks
required by Utah DEQ? Apologies, I did not catch that when looking at Appendix C. We require at
least three feet of media depth. I based my check on each vessel only having 6 cubic feet of media
as stated in Section 4.2.1 of the engineering report and 24 inch diameter vessel. If there will be 46-
inches of media in each vessel then there is no change required. However, with 4 inches of
freeboard you may want a taller vessel for bed expansion. Oh looks like you got that handled
already! Please send an updated drawing with this change
R309-535-8(1)(b)(viii): Good point on the location of chlorination needing to be downstream of the
ion exchange media. This is not clear on the drawings. The attached schematic shows how the
current chlorine injection point is downstream of the water softeners. However, that is not the way it
was installed. It is currently getting chlorinated prior to treatment. We'll go ahead and make that
revision to the drawings. and resubmit. Thank you.
Also can you confirm where a meter is located for this project? You need to be able to keep track of
the volume of water treated.

Brad,
Please find the attached revised Drawing Sheet 3, which shows the chlorine injection location move
and the 72" tall media tank. After review, please stamp and insert into the stamped plans.
I have also attached the revised TP-20 that has the 72" tall media tank revision. You can insert that
into the specs in place of the old one.
Can you then resubmit the revised stamped plans and specs to Danielle?
Danielle,
Attached is the photo of the water meter near the chlorine injection location where the water comes
into the pumphouse from the well.
Once Brad emails you the revised plans and specs, we will wait to get Utah DEQ formal approval to
proceed before sending over to contracting.
Thanks!

Hi Danielle,
Aached are the stamped plans and specificaons with the revisions requested for the increased tank height and
chlorinaon at the end of the treatment cycle.
Please let us know if you require any addional informaon.
