Subject: System-Specific Minimum Sizing Standards—Final Determination
Pine Creek Ranch POA, System #20049, File #13501
Dear Rennald Egbert:
DETERMINATIONS
Based on the findings set forth below, the Division of Drinking Water (the Division) hereby
establishes the following system-specific minimum sizing standards for Pine Creek Ranch POA (the
System):
Peak Day Source Demand (gallons/day/ERC) – 401
Average Annual Demand (gallons/year/ERC) – 48,026
Equalization Storage (gallons/ERC) – 132
Fire Storage (gallons) – 0
Introduction
Pursuant to Utah Code Section 19-4-114, the Director of the Division (Director) is required to
establish system-specific minimum sizing standards based on, among other factors, water use data
submitted to the Division of Water Rights (DWRi). The Director’s determinations may also be based
on engineering analyses and other evidence if this is available. This final determination letter is
addressed to you in your capacity as the Administrative Contact for the System. The Director has
delegated the responsibility for making system-specific minimum sizing standards under Utah Code
Section 19-4-114 to the Engineering Manager for the Division.
Prior to issuing this final determination letter, the Division analyzed applicable DWRi water use data
and sent a draft summary of the Division’s proposed system-specific minimum sizing standards to the

System’s consultant, Kelly Chappel, P.E. of Ensign Engineering on September 5, 2023. Kelly Chappel
responded on September 11, 2023, verifying the minimum sizing standards for the system are
accurate. The Division is issuing this final determination of the system-specific minimum sizing
standards for the System. A summary of the water use data and calculations the Division used to make
these determinations is attached as part of the administrative record.

Water Use Data Definitions

As used in this Final Determination, the following terms have the following meanings:
Peak Day Source Demand is the total flow into a public water system to meet the demand of the water
system on the day of the highest water consumption in a calendar year.

Average Annual Demand is the total quantity of drinking water flowing into a public water system
within a calendar year.

Total Equivalent Residential Connections (ERCs) term represents the number of residential service
connections and the number of equivalent residential connections for non-residential connections
(commercial, industrial, institutional connections).

Minimum Equalization Storage requirement is a volume that is equivalent to the amount of water
needed to meet the average day culinary demand for public water systems. Equalized storage per ERC
is calculated by dividing the Average Annual Demand per ERC data by the number of operational
days in a year.

Water System Background Facts

The System is a transient non-community water system in Sanpete County. The System has requested
that system specific minimum sizing standards be set using their water use data. The system serves
about 130 residential connections that provide water to a population of approximately 100 people. The
System operates and maintains two (2) wells and two (2) storage tanks and the associated distribution
lines. There is a separate irrigation well for The System.

System-Specific Minimum Sizing Standards—Background

Under Utah Code Section 19-4-114, the legislature required that the Director establish minimum
sizing standards on a system-specific basis instead of statewide, as the Division has done in the past.
System-specific determinations need to be based on system-specific information. The code allows the
Director to rely on water use data submitted to DWRi. Alternatively, a community water system may
perform and submit an engineering study to the Division if the water system’s water use data is not
representative of future use or the water system does not yet have actual water use data. In this matter,
actual water use data was available through DWRi and an engineering study was not submitted to the
Division for review. Therefore, the Division has relied upon DWRi information and other relevant
data.
Additional System-Specific Basis for Determinations

The Division established Fire Storage requirements based on information from the water system that
they do not need to provide fire flow.

Storage Capacity

Based on the System’s storage facilities and the storage minimum sizing requirement established in
this letter, the Director hereby determines that the System is compliant with the minimum storage
capacity requirements.

Source Capacity

The Division has adequate documentation of established safe yields (wells) for all the System’s
sources. Using total system-wide safe yields and the source minimum sizing requirement established
in this letter indicates that the System is compliant with minimum source capacity requirements.

Effective Date

The determinations made in this letter are effective immediately and will become final 30 days from
the date of this letter unless the System files a contest as provided below.

Notice of Right to Contest

The Director has determined this determination made under Section 19-3-114 qualifies as a “permit
order” within the meaning of Utah Code Section 19-1-301.5(1)(f). See Utah Code § 19-1-301.5(1)(e)
(defining “permit” to include a “plan” or “other administrative authorization”).

The System may contest any determinations made herein by delivering a notice of contest to the
Director. The notice of contest must be in writing and must be delivered to the Director on or before
30 days after the date this letter is signed. There is no particular form for the notice of contest, but it
must include the System’s reasons and rationale for the contest. The Director’s address for purposes of
submitting a notice of contest is as follows:

Email

A notice of contest may be submitted to the Director by email, provided, however, that the
Director confirms receipt of the email. The Director’s email address is: [e-mail].
The email submission must be received by the Director before the expiration of the contest
deadline.

If the System files a timely notice of contest, the Director will evaluate the matter and attempt to
resolve the matter through negotiations. If the Director is not able to resolve the matter, the Director
will issue a final agency action regarding the contest. At that point in the process, the System shall
have the right to seek further internal agency and judicial review pursuant to Utah Admin. Code R305-
7 and Utah Code Section 19-1-301.5.

Right to Request Reconsideration

The Director plans to evaluate the determinations made herein every three years. However, this
requirement is not mandatory. At any time, a water system whose system-specific minimum sizing
standards have been established by the Division under Section 19-4-114 may request reconsideration
of the Director’s determinations by submitting a written request. A request for reconsideration shall be
submitted to the Director in the same manner as a notice of contest provided above.

Conclusion

If the System management have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Dani Zebelean, of
this office, at [phone], or Michael Newberry, Engineering Manager, at [phone].

Sincerely,

Michael Newberry, P.E.
Permitting and Engineering Support Manager
