Subject:Plan Approval, GSL Inland Port Storage Tank (ST001);
Tooele Valley PID, System #23096, File #24857
Dear Charles Akerlow:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the proposed Tooele Valley PID GSL Inland Port 700K Storage Tank from your
consultant, Robert Rouselle and Ensign Engineering on September 2, 2025. This project has met the conditions for receiving a plan approval.
Our understanding of the project is construction of a 700,000 gallonAquastore Glass Fused to Steel Bolted Storage Tank, with dimensions of 62 feet in diameter by 34 feet high (identified
as ST001 in the Division’s database).
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped and signed by Robert Rouselle, P.E., dated August 29, 2025, and find they basically comply with the applicable portions
of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems in R309. On this basis, the plans for GSL Inland Port Storage Tank are hereby approved.
This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the Director before GSL Inland Port Storage Tank may be put in service. A checklist outlining the
items required for operating permit issuance is enclosed for your information.Approvals or permits from the local authority or the 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 equipment has not been ordered within one year of the date of this letter.
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact Brent Arns, of this office, at [phone], or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
