Subject:Concurrence, Updated Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for the Vista
Well 2; Pine Creek Ranch POA; Water System #20049, Source No. WS003
Dear Rennald S Egbert:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the updated Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan for the Vista Well 2 from you on November 21, 2022.
We have completed our review of the updated DWSP plan 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 updated 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.
Required Actions
It appears that several homes are located within protection zones three and four of WS003. These homes are also likely on septic due to the rural location. Therefore, residential properties
on septic should be inventoried as a potential contamination source (PCS). Since this PCS type typically cannot be assessed as controlled, a land management strategy will likely need
to be implemented. This can be done by distributing factsheets on household hazardous waste and septic systems to each homeowner within the protection zones. Please address these issues
in the next update and include recordkeeping documentation to prevent the plan from being disapproved. 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.Please contact Noah Zorsky at [phone] or via email at [e-mail] if you have questions or concerns about the review of your DWSP plan. To help us serve you more efficiently,
please use the water system number (20049) in your correspondence.
Sincerely,
