Subject:Concurrence, Revised Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for the Navajo Geology Well; New Paria Subdivision; Water System #13037, Source No. WS002
Dear Amanda Buhler:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the revised Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan for the Navajo Geology Well from your consultant, Dao Yang, P.E., with
Sunrise Engineering, on November 7, 2022.
We have completed our review of the revised DWSP plan, stamped and signed by Dao Yang, P.E, and dated November 7, 2022, and find that the plan basically complies with the applicable
portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems. The Division concurs with this revised plan. We commend you for establishing a program to protect this source
from present and future contamination. This plan must be updated often enough to ensure that it reflects current conditions in your protection zones.
The due date for submitting the next updated plan is December 31, 2028.
Please be aware that the revised source protection zones for this source have now been incorporated into the Division’s Geographic Information System (GIS) database. In addition, these
zones should now appear on the Utah Environmental Interactive Map, so long as this system is currently classified as Public in the Division’s database. The Utah Environmental Interactive
Map can be accessed by visiting enviro.deq.utah.gov. We encourage you to visit the map to confirm that the location of this source and the source protection zones are accurate. If you
need assistance with navigating the map or to report any discrepancies, please call [phone] and ask to speak to source protection staff.
Note
Copies of the public education material that was distributed and the date they were distributed need to be included in each updated plan to fulfill the recordkeeping requirement. This
information shows that the water system is implementing land management strategies and not just saying they are going to. Please include this information in all future updates. RemindersAs
stated in R309-600 and 605: Implementing DWSP Plans - Each Public Water System (PWS) shall begin implementing each of its DWSP Plans in accordance with the implementation schedule within
180 days after submittal if the plan is not disapproved. Be prepared to describe these efforts in your next update, which should include documentation of how the land management strategies
identified for existing and future potential contamination sources were implemented. Your updated plan will be disapproved, and 25 Improvement Priority System (IPS) points will be assigned
for failure to comply with this requirement.As stated in R309-600 and 605: Recordkeeping - As a DWSP Plan is executed, the PWS shall document any land management strategies that are
implemented. Please provide actual copies of memoranda of understanding, public education programs, bill stuffers, newsletters, or other correspondence documenting the implementation
of each land management strategy as it occurs, in this section of your updated plan.
Monitoring Reduction Waivers
Your request for a renewal of your use waivers for volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) and pesticides has been granted. Your sampling schedule remains the same.Please contact Noah Zorsky
