Subject: Initial Order for New Public Water System for Red Earth Venue #UTAH10052

Dear Brian Hays:

According to information provided in New Public Water System Information Form submitted on
May 14, 2025, Red Earth Venue operates a 17-acre property with indoor and outdoor spaces for
rent, with a transient population of approximately 120, utilizing a groundwater well. With the
provided information it has come to the attention of the Utah Division of Drinking Water (the
“Division”) that The Red Earth Venue, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, is the owner
and/or operator of a public water system (PWS) as explained in the Utah Safe Drinking Water
Act and the Utah Public Drinking Water Rules in R309-100-4. As a result, the Director of the
Division of Drinking Water is required by law to initiate a formal administrative process to
recognize the system as a new public water system and to ensure that it complies with both state
and federal drinking water regulations. As part of that process, I have attached an Initial Order
for New Public Water System explaining the requirements for the system.

The Division recognizes that compliance with state and federal legal requirements can involve
significant administrative and financial burdens for public drinking water systems, especially
new systems. Those regulations are designed to ensure that public water systems are able to
provide safe and reliable drinking water to the people they serve. Coming into compliance with
state and federal regulations can require time and resources. Utah’s public water systems,
including your system, provide essential services that directly impact human health and welfare.

The attached order includes contact information for Division staff with expertise in the rules and
regulations that apply to public water systems. Containers for samples are available from all
certified laboratories. While the Division cannot recommend a specific laboratory, we have
enclosed a list of certified laboratories that perform water testing.

In all correspondence with our office and the laboratories, please indicate the public water
system number. The number for your water system is UTAH10052. Clearly mark the system
number on all samples.

Enclosed is the inventory list for your system. Please carefully review this report and return it to
our office with any corrections.

Enclosed is also a copy of your Improvement Priority System (IPS) Report. IPS points are used
to rate and track a water system’s compliance with state and federal drinking water regulations.
This report indicates several dormant deficiencies associated with the required actions listed in
the attached Order. These dormant deficiencies serve as a tracking tool and reminder; they do not
affect the water system’s points or rating unless the due date for the required task has expired.
The dormant deficiencies are removed from our database when the PWS completes the required
tasks and notifies the Division.

The Division has online tools to help manage your water system, including:

● Waterlink.utah.gov: WaterLink is an online tool that allows public water systems to
access current system information, including the system’s inventory, monitoring
schedules, IPS Report, operator records, and the system’s Bacteriological record for
the last 12 months. To get full use out of these tools, you will need to create a
Waterlink portal account. You can do this by navigating to the Public/Portals menu
on the top right side of the waterlink.utah.gov home page and selecting the Portal. For
help creating a WaterLink Portal account, please contact Mz. (Tammie) Allen at
[phone] or [e-mail].

● Eqedocs.deq.utah.gov: Each water system’s public records are available here. These
records may include previous monitoring results, Division correspondence, former
Consumer Confidence Reports, and other documents related to the water system.
Browse to your water system listed alphabetically under “County” to see what we
have on record for your system. Please call the Division at [phone] if you
have any questions.

We are here to help you through this process. If you have any questions about this Order, please
contact Colt Smith at [phone] or [e-mail]. To contest or appeal this Order,
please contact Bret Randall of the Attorney General’s office at [phone] or
[e-mail].

Sincerely,

Nathan Lunstad, Ph.D., P.E.

Initial Order for New Public Water System - Red Earth Venue - UTAH10052 Page 1 of 9
UTAH DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
DIVISION OF DRINKING WATER
In the Matter of:
Red Earth Venue, a Utah Public Water
System (UTAH10052)
INITIAL ORDER FOR NEW PUBLIC
WATER SYSTEM
Docket No. UTAH10052-2025-01
This INITIAL ORDER FOR NEW PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM (“Order”) is issued by the
Director of the Utah Division of Drinking Water (“Director”), under the Director’s legal authorities
described below. This Order is issued to The Red Earth Venue, LLC, a Utah limited liability
company, in its capacity as the “Supplier,” who is legally responsible for the water system.
STATUTORY AND REGULATORY AUTHORITY
1.In 1974, Congress enacted the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. §
300f et seq., as amended. 42 U.S.C. § 300g-2 allows states to achieve primary enforcement
responsibility after the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has determined that the
state has adopted and can implement a state program that is no less stringent than the federal
public drinking water program (“Primacy”).
2.The Utah legislature has enacted the Utah Safe Drinking Water Act, codified at Utah Code
§ 19-4-101, with the intent of achieving Primacy.
3.Utah Code § 19-4-104 authorizes the Utah Drinking Water Board (the “Board”), among
other things, to make rules regulating public water systems in the state of Utah. Utah Code
§ 19-4-104(1)(c)(vi) charges the Board to “meet the requirements of federal law related or
pertaining to drinking water.” The Board has promulgated the Utah Public Drinking Water
Rules, codified at Utah Administrative Code (“UAC”) R309.
4.In 1980, the EPA Administrator determined, in accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 142.11, that
the Utah public drinking water program met the federal requirements for Primacy. See 45
Fed. Reg. 6647 (January 29, 1980). In accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 142.17, the EPA
Administrator has reviewed, and continues to review annually, the Utah public drinking
water program to evaluate its continuing compliance with the requirements set forth in 40
C.F.R. Part 142.
5.The Board has defined public water systems under the Utah Public Drinking Water Rules,
UAC R309-110-4.
6.UAC R309-100-7 requires the Director to “assign a rating to each public water supply in
order to provide a concise indication of its condition and performance” in accordance with
Initial Order for New Public Water System - Red Earth Venue - UTAH10052 Page 2 of 9
R309-400. This rule is generally known as the Improvement Priority System (“IPS”) rating
system.
7.The IPS rating system “is a point system used by the division to evaluate a public water
system’s performance and compliance with the drinking water rules in Title 309,
Environmental Quality, Drinking Water.” UAC R309-400-3(1). Under the IPS rating
system, each public water system is assigned a rating “to characterize the water system’s
compliance with drinking water rules and overall operation and performance.” UAC R309-
400-3(2). The IPS rating system is “used by the division to assign compliance ratings to
public water systems and to prioritize enforcement action based on points assessed for
noncompliance with drinking water rules.” UAC R309-400-1(1).
8.UAC R309-400-5 provides that a water system’s IPS rating shall be assigned “based on
the total number of points assessed for noncompliance” based on a point system established
by the Board. Generally, the number of points represents the threat to the quality of the
water and therefore public health.
9.UAC R309-400-4(1)(a)(ii) sets the maximum number of points any given type of system
may have before it is rated by the Director as “Not Approved” status. For systems
exceeding the point threshold, the Director is required to issue a “Not Approved” rating.
The thresholds are as follows: (i) for community water systems, 150 points; (ii) for non-
transient, non-community water systems, 120 points; and (iii) for non-community water
systems, 100 points.
10.UAC R309-400-4 allows the Director to assess points against public water systems upon
their failure to comply with Division directives and orders.
11.UAC R309-400-5 allows the Director to rate any public water system as “Not Approved”
at any time if an immediate threat to public health exists.
12.UAC R309-400-5 provides that a public water system may qualify for a “Corrective
Action” rating for its public water system upon submission of a written agreement stating
a willingness to comply with the requirements set forth in the Rules and complying with
other requirements.
13.Pursuant to Utah Code § 19-4-106(d), the Director may enforce rules promulgated by the
Board through the issuance of orders. See also UAC R309-100-8.
14.Utah Code § 19-4-107 provides that upon discovery of any violation of a rule or order of
the Board, the Director shall promptly notify the supplier of the violation, state the nature
of the violation, and issue an order requiring correction of that violation.
15.Utah Code § 19-4-109 provides that any person who violates the Act or a rule or order
made or issued pursuant to the Act may be subject to an administrative penalty of up to
$1,000 per day of violation or a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per day of violation.

ORDER
Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED as follows:
23.System Status: The System is hereby rated as an active but “unrated” transient non-
community water system under the Division’s water rating system rules, UAC R309-400.
A water system’s rating can only become “approved” after it obtains an Operating Permit
from the Director for the entire water system, including its drinking water sources.
24.Plan Review
a.Engineering Evaluation Report: Because the System has been in existence and
operation prior to the date of this Order, respondent shall submit an Engineering
Evaluation Report prepared by a Professional Engineer licensed to practice in
Utah to the Division on or before 180 days from the date of issuance of this
order. The engineering evaluation report shall contain detailed information of all
current drinking water facilities including source springs and/or wells, storage
tanks, pumps, distribution system, number of connections, water rights, System
schematics, etc., and hydraulic model report. An Engineering Evaluation Report is
a document used to start the process of the Division’s review of all the existing
drinking water facilities associated with your system to ensure compliance with the
current design and construction standards for public drinking water systems (Utah
Code R309-550). The Division will use this report to enter all drinking water
facilities into the Division’s database and to determine all drinking water facilities
meet applicable R309-500 requirements to protect the public’s drinking water. The
Division will issue after-the-fact Plan Approval and an Operating Permit for all
drinking water facilities detailed in the Engineering Evaluation Report. A new
water system’s rating becomes “approved” after it obtains an Operating Permit
from DDW. Please contact Curtis Page, if you have any questions regarding the
engineering evaluation report.
b.Plan Review Files: Rules R309-500 through 550 govern the design, construction,
operation, maintenance, and plan review procedure requirements for drinking water
