Dear Dave AminThe Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received a request for an Operating Permit for the Bristlecone Storage Overflow Modifications from James Saunders, Jones &
DeMille Engineering, on July 24, 2025. The Division received the plans and specifications on July 21, 2023and issued Plan Approval for this project on August 14, 2023. In lieu of a site

drain next to the access road into a ditch. The overflow discharges to a new head wall with a #4 mesh screen on the end of the overflow pipe and an 18-inch freefall to the ditch.
We have received the following information for Bristlecone Storage Overflow Modifications:
Certification of Rule Conformance with plan approval conditions by a professional engineer.
As-built or record drawings.
Photos of completed construction.
We have determined that all conditions for operating permit issuance have been met. On this basis, an Operating Permit for the Bristlecone Storage Overflow Modificationsis hereby issued
as constituted by this letter.
