Subject: Notice of IPS Point Exceedance and Potential Water System Not Approved Rating
Change; Camp Wapiti Water, UTAH23035

Please be advised that a response is requested within 30 days of receiving this
certified mail.

Dear Justin Muir,

This letter serves to inform you that the Camp Wapiti Water, UTAH23035, currently has 105 IPS
points assessed. The Improvement Priority Systems (IPS) sets points for compliance requirements
based on the risk to public health and thresholds based on the type of system. The Camp Wapiti
Water current score exceeds the 100 points for the Transient Non-Community type as set in R309-
400. The Division of Drinking Water (the “Division”) intends to rate Camp Wapiti Water “Not
Approved” if there is no response to the Division within 30 calendar days of receiving this notice.
Your response may include any of the actions listed below to prevent a Not Approved Order:
1. Ask the Director for reconsideration by providing additional information to the Division
demonstrating the attached IPS report needs to be revised.
2. Correct any outstanding noncompliance items in the attached report and submit evidence
of its correction to the Division. This can include taking any missing chemical samples,
correcting any deficiencies, and/or submitting any evidence that violations or deficiencies
were issued in error.
3. Request a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) through requestcap.utah.gov. This informal
agreement between the System and the Division establishes a schedule to allow more time
to correct unresolved significant deficiencies in the attached report. A CAP is not available
for violations or minor deficiencies.
4. If the system has violations or has failed a previously executed CAP, the system must enter
into a Compliance Agreement/Enforcement Order (CA/EO). A CA/EO is formal
enforcement and establishes a schedule for systems to return to compliance. The System is
typically rated “Corrective Action” rather than “Not Approved” and has input on timelines
Camp Wapiti (Elks)

for meeting compliance deadlines. For inquiries regarding a CA/EO, please contact Colt
Smith at [phone] or [e-mail].
Failure to respond to the Division within 30 calendar days from the receipt of this notice may
result in the following:
1. The Director issuing a formal enforcement order rating your water system’s rating “Not
Approved.”
a. The Not Approved Order is a formal administrative notice and provides the
Director the ability to issue penalty amounts of up to $1,000 per violation per day.
b. This Not Approved Order, at a minimum, requires a system to issue public notice
every 90 days informing their customers of the “Not Approved” rating.
2. The Director may assess an additional 25 to 200 IPS points to your water system for
failing to protect public health.
3. The Division may refer the System to the Utah Attorney General for civil action in district
court, asking for an injunction to ensure compliance with the State and Federal Safe
Drinking Water Act.
4. Failure to respond may also result in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency taking
federal enforcement action to address the noncompliance shown in the attached report.
This notice serves as a courtesy to your water system, allowing them to come into compliance
voluntarily. This notice is a compliance advisory, is not an agency action, and does not trigger any
legal rights and/or remedies for the System. Additionally, nothing in this notice prevents the
Director from initiating formal enforcement at any time in the process. We urge you to take
immediate action on this matter. Compliance with the standards and regulations for drinking
water, as outlined in the Utah Safe Drinking Water Act, the Utah Drinking Water Rules, and the
Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, is essential to ensure safe, reliable drinking water and to protect
public health. We are dedicated to working together with you to help you come into compliance.
If you require assistance in responding to this notice, please contact Brandi Smith at (385) 515-
1650 or [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Nathan Lunstad, Ph.D., P.E.
Director, Division of Drinking Water
