Subject:Plan Approval, 0.5 MG Tank (ST003); Cedar Highlands Subdivisions, System #11042, File #13637
Dear Tracy Feltner:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the proposed Cedar Highlands 0.5 MG Tank Project from Ryan LeBaron, Sunrise
Engineering, on January 17, 2024. On that same day, comments were sent to you and your consultant regarding plans needing to be separated from another project since they both involved
two different water systems. The Division received the revised plans on February 8, 2024. Review comments on the plans were sent to you and your consultant on March 4, 2024. Final plans
were received by the Division on March 19, 2024. This project has met the conditions for receiving a plan approval.
Our understanding of the project is the construction of a 500,000-gallon reinforced concrete tank. The tank will include all of the necessary items including an inlet, outlet, drain,
access hatch, and air vents. A future transmission line will be constructed that will convey water to this tank but is not a part of the project at this time. This tank will be referred
to as the 0.5 MG Tank (ST003) in the Division’s database.
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped, and signed byVernal Edward Maloy, P.E., dated March 13, 2024, 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 the Cedar Highlands 0.5 MG Tank (ST003) are hereby approved.
This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the Director before the 0.5 MG 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 J. Paul Wright, DEQ Southwest District Engineer, at [phone], or me at (385) 515‑1464.
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
