McGhee Kootenai Heights Water System, Inc. O. Box 1925 Sandpoint, ill 83864 RE:Conditional Approval of As-built Plans, Kootenai Heights Drinking Water System Dear Mr. McGhee: As-built plans submitted on December 9 2004, as certified by Lou Vermeer, P ., for completion of the public drinking water system serving eleven (11) residential connections consisting of Lots 7-9 and 11-18 of the Kootenai Heights subdivision located in the City of Kootenai of Bonner County have been reviewed. The as- built plans have been compared to the construction plans and specifications as previously reviewed on November 28 , 2004 but not approved for construction purposes by DEQ. This water system was constructed without DEQ approval of plans and specifications. The submitted as-builts are hereby approved per Section 39-118 of Idaho Code as the record drawings for this project, contingent upon your full compliance to the satisfaction ofDEQ within thirty (30) days of the date of this letter of the following items: 1. Well Lot Lease: A copy of the executed and recorded long-term well lot lease between the water system owner, Kootenai Heights Water System, Inc., and the owner of Lot 9 of Kootenai Heights subdivision must be submitted to DEQ. This lease area is identified on the as-built plans and is necessary to establish the fifty (50) foot well lot radius around the water supply well as required by the Idaho Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems (Rules). The format of the unsigned copy submitted to our office by your attorney is acceptable. 2. Water Quality Results: Evidence must be submitted that water from the Lot 10 well serving this public drinking water system has been sampled and can be detennined to be in compliance with drinking water standards specified by the Rules. These samples must include the following parameters: Phase n & V inorganic chemical analysis (also include nitrate and nitrite), Corrosivity, . Phase II & V volatile organic compounds . Phase II & V synthetic organic compounds . Quarterly radiological contaminants for one year. Total Coliform Bacteria, and Iron. The sampling results of the monitoring completed from the well on December 9 2004 were received by our office January 4, 2005. Results of the sampling analysis indicate that you failed to sample for RE: Conditional Approval of As-built Plans, Kootenai Heights Temporary Drinking Water System December 21 2004 Page 2 radiological contaminants, and that one synthetic organic contaminant was detected in excess of the maximum contaminant level. You must complete quarterly monitoring for radiological contaminants (Gross Alpha emitters, radium 226 and separately radium 228) and synthetic organic contaminants during the 2005 year. All other results were within acceptable parameters. The synthetic organic contaminant exceedence is a violation and requires public notification. This is referred to as a tier 2 violation, notification must be made to your customers within 30 days of the date of this letter. This notification has specific requirements which can be found in the Public Notification Handbook. This handbook can be found on-line at: http://www.epa.gov/safewater/pws/pn/handbook.pdf 3. Certified Operator: Documentation must be provided in the form of a signed employment contract and copy of the operator s certificate indicating that a properly certified water system operator has been hired by Kootenai Heights Water System Inc. to operate and maintain this new drinking water system. Compensation need not be included in the copy of the contract documentation. v- 4. ~ater System Ownership: A copy of the Articles of Incorporation, Quitclaim Deed to Lot 10, draft Water Service Agreement and Easement by Kootenai Heights Water System, Inc., as referenced in items 3a of Attorney Gary Finney s December 3, 2004 letter to DEQ, must be provided. This transmittal needs to also reflect your compliance as the property developer with Section 50-1334(3) of Idaho Code as quoted below: (3) If a new water system will come into being to serve the subdivision, that it has or will have sufficient contributed capital to allow the water system s wells, springboxes, reservoirs and mains to be constructed to provide service without further connection charges or fees to the landowners of the lots, except for connection of laterals, meters or other plant exclusively for the lot owner s own use. The unsigned copy of your draft Water Service Agreement, and Certification of Compliance with Section 50-1334 submitted to our office does not appear to be in accordance with Section 50-1334. However since this is not our jurisdiction we have referred this to the Public Utilities Commission. 5. Revision of Original Plat: The lots served by the Kootenai Heights Water System, Inc. specifically lots 7-9 and 11-18 were originally platted with water service to be provided by the City of Sandpoint water system. Sanitary restrictions were released by Panhandle Health District, in accordance with Section 50-1326 of Idaho Code~based on this assumption of service. We have received an unsigned copy of a document titled "Clarification - Modification of a Plat of Kootenai Heights prepared by your attorney. This document should be revised to reflect the actual service provider and recorded. If you will immediately provide DEQ with a written statement that you are in agreement with and will satisfy the five as-built approval contingencies listed above, we are prepared to notify the City of Kootenai that DEQ has no objection to issuance of occupancy permits pending for residences served by this water system. We understand that your actions in this matter have resulted in two families being unable to occupy their new homes and being forced to live in temporary housing, while you attempt to correct the violations incurred by your actions which caused the disruption. RE: Conditional Approval of As-built Plans, Kootenai Heights Temporary Drinking Water System December 21 , 2004 Page 3 Once this office has received and accepted the information needed to satisfy the five contingencies listed above a sanitary survey of this new drinking water system in the presence of the certified operator can be conducted by DEQ so that an approval designation can be assigned. Many lending institutions rely on DEQ approval of water systems to certify the adequacy of water systems serving their mortgaged properties. Your failure to satisfy the as-built approval contingencies listed above may result in disapproval of the water system, as specified in the Rules, and submittal of an enforcement referral to the Idaho Attorney General assigned to DEQ. Finally, from the DEQ's perspective you have exhibited a chronic disregard of applicable state law and public health and safety rules throughout the development of this water system. Installing this water system without securing DEQ approval of plans and specifications may have compromised your engineer s professional license under the Rules of Professional Responsibility (IDAPA 10.01.02) and has clouded Mr. Venneer s reputation with this department. All future development must be in full accordance with Idaho Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems (Rules), and Idaho Code 39-118. This begins with an engineering report defining the scope of the proj ect. We look forward to receiving your immediate written response to this letter and, hopefully, your specific response that fulfills five contingencies within thirty (30) days of the date of this letter.
