Dear Carl Makley:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the proposed Coldwater Well drilling from your consultant, Scott Greenhalgh,
P.G. with Hansen, Allen & Luce on January 29, 2024.
We understand that this project consists of the drilling of a 28-inch diameter borehole to a depth of 110 feet, the installation of a 22-inch diameter surface conductor casing, and the
installation of the grout seal through the full 110 feet. A 20-inch diameter borehole will be drilled to an approximate depth of 900 feet and 600 feet of 14-inch diameter HSLA steel
casing and 200+ feet of 14-inch diameter HSLA louvered screen will be installed. An artificial well filter gravel pack will be installed the entire length of the borehole. Pump tests
will be performed at 1,500 gallons per minute (gpm) to establish the well yield. The Coldwater Well is identified as WS004 in the Division’s database.
We have received the following information for Coldwater Well Drilling:
Plans and specifications for borehole and well drilling.
Preliminary Evaluation Report.
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped and signed by Scott Greenhalgh, P.G., and dated January 29, 2024, and found they basically comply with the applicable
portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems. On this basis, the plans for drilling the Coldwater Well are hereby approved.
This approval pertains to well drilling, development, aquifer testing, and disinfection of Coldwater Well only. Please be aware that discharge permits may be required by Utah Division
of Water Quality for discharges generated during well drilling and aquifer drawdown testing.
The Utah Division of Water Rights (State Engineer’s Office) regulates the drilling of water wells. Before the drilling of a well commences, the well driller must receive a start card
from the State Engineer’s Office. Please be aware that, for public drinking water supply wells, in addition to the Division of Drinking Water’s R309-515 rule, the Division of Water Rights’
rule R655-4 also applies and shall be followed.
After drilling is completed, you are required to submit additional information outlined in R309-515-6(5)(b) and (c) for review andobtain approval from the Director for equipping this
well and constructing discharge piping and infrastructure necessary for introducing the well water into the distribution system. After obtaining the well-equipping approval, you’ll then
be required to obtain an Operating Permit before Coldwater Well may be put in service. A checklist outlining the well approval process, including the items required for well equipping
and an Operating Permit, is enclosed for your information.
Please label the well water sample collected for new source chemical analysis with your water system number UTAH02079 and WS004 (for both the facility ID and sample point ID) on all
laboratory forms for each individual source. This will ensure proper identification and entry of the new source chemical analysis results in our database.
Approvals or permits from the local authority or 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 materials have not been ordered within one year of the date of this letter.
Preliminary Evaluation Report Concurrence
The Division has also reviewed the submission of the Preliminary Evaluation Report (PER), prepared by your consultant, J. Lance Nielsen, P.E., with Hansen, Allen & Luce Inc. The Division
concurs with this report. This PER must be refined, and a complete Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan submitted within one year of the date of this letter. Refer to R309-600-13(6)
and R309-600-7(1). You must submit proof that a map of the final source protection zones has been provided to Box Elder County to be covered by the Box Elder County Source Protection
ordinance before an Operating Permit can be issued. If you have questions about the source protection requirements, please contact Deidre Beck at [phone] or via email at [e-mail].
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact Cameron Draney, P.E., of this office, at [phone], or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
