Subject:Operating Permit, Bench Well (WS003);
Woodland South Hills Irrigation, System #26052, File #12597
Dear Jason Smith:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received your request for the Operating Permit for the Bench Well (WS003) from your consultant, Matt Hartvigsen, P.E. of
Jones and Associates Consulting Engineering on October 8, 2025. The Division issued Plan Approval for drilling this well on June 14, 2025, and Plan Approval for equipping this well on
April 18, 2023. Division staff, Dani Zebelean and John Steffan, conducted an onsite final inspection of this facility on August 21, 2025.
Our understanding of the project included the construction of the Bench Well (WS003), discharge piping, and well house. The Bench Well (WS003) ties into the existing distribution system
to provide water. The well is equipped with a submersible pump capable of pumping at 30 gallons per minute (gpm). This well is identified as WS003 in the Division’s database.
We have received the following information for the Bench Well (WS003):
Design engineer’s statement of conformance with approval conditions from Matt Hartvigsen, P.E. dated October 7, 2025.
Evidence of O&M manual delivery.
As-built drawings.
Documentation that the requirements for coverage under the Wasatch County source protection ordinance have been met.
Satisfactory bacteriological results as evidence of proper disinfection and flushing.
We have determined that all conditions of operating permit issuance have been met. On this basis, an Operating Permit for the Bench Well (WS003)is hereby issued as constituted by this
letter. You may now place the Bench Well (WS003)in service in your water system.
Please maintain a copy of this letter with your permanent records for future reference.
The equipped well pump capacity of the Bench Well (WS003) is 30gallons per minute (gpm). The safe yield of the Bench Well (WS003) is rated at 22gpm, which is calculated based on two-thirds
of the constant-rate aquifer drawdown test results at 33 gpm. The safe yield of 22gpm is the basis for determining the maximum number of connections that the Bench Well (WS003) can serve.
Monitoring and ReportingIssuance of this Operating Permit changes your water system’s monitoring and reporting requirements. Theincreased monitoring requirements are outlined in addendum
1 . Please contact Mark Berger, Water Quality/Monitoring and Standards Manager at [phone] for questions regarding the monitoring and reporting requirements for your water system.

There may be new changes in monitoring and reporting requirements in the future as the Division continues to improve the disinfection monitoring and reporting practices. Failure to adhere
to required monitoring and reporting will result in violations and the assessment of IPS points.
Drinking Water Source Protection Requirement
The Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) requirements have been met. The Updated DWSP plan is due December 31, 2028. If you have any questions about the Source Protection requirements,
please contact Melissa Noble, P.G. at [phone] or [e-mail].
If you have any questions regarding this Operating Permit, please contact Dani Zebelean, P.E., of this office, at [phone], or Michael Newberry, P.E., Permitting and Engineering
Manager, at [phone].
Sincerely,
Russell Seeley, P.E.

27, 2025, it was shared that the flows from both the River Well (identified as WS001) and the Bench Well (WS003) are combined into a common transmission line within a vault prior to
servicing any service connections within the distribution system. The vault contains a sampling tap at which combined samples can be collected. R309-205 states that source chemical monitoring
requirements can be fulfilled through sampling at locations in which one or more sources are combined.Given this, the monitoring requirements for both the Bench Well (WS003) and the
River Well (WS001) have been assigned to a newly created sampling station. This sampling station is identified as “Sampling Station 01 03” and has been given a facility ID of “SS001”.
Please label all samples collected from the combined sample point as SS001 in the facility ID column of laboratory chain of custodies.
Issuance of this Operating Permit changes this water system’s monitoring and reporting
requirements. The monitoring requirements for both of this system's wells are given below. An updated monitoring schedule can be viewed any time at waterlink.utah.gov under the Water
Monitoring section.
Please note that all new sources are required to undergo quarterly radionuclide monitoring for a minimum of two or four quarters. Additionally, toluene was detected at 3.5 ug/L on June
24, 2022 as part of the new source chemical analysis. This result triggers a quarterly Volatile Organic Contaminants (VOC) monitoring requirement. After a minimum of two quarters of
radionuclide and VOC monitoring, please contact David Kruse at (385)-566-7789 or [e-mail] to request a reduced monitoring requirement. Facility with new requirementsAnalyte(s)

The addition of a new well can have an impact on the corrosivity of the water and the release of lead and copper. As a result, your lead and copper monitoring schedule has been changed.
Five investigative lead and copper samples will be required after the addition of the new source. This monitoring requirement can be waived if the system submits a report comparing background
water quality data from the new well to existing water quality data to show that the well will not significantly impact finished water pH, alkalinity, chloride, or sulfate levels. For
any questions about lead and copper or water quality parameter monitoring, please contact Dylan Martinez at [phone] or [e-mail] with new requirementsAnalyte(s)
