Provo River Watershed Plan Introduction Public Water Systems
Provo River Watershed Plan Introduction Public water systems (PWSs) in the State of Utah who treat surface water or groundwater under the direct influence of surface water are required by the Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) Rule, to develop, submit and implement a DWSP Plan for all sources of public drinking water. All PWSs are required to delineate watershed protection zones, develop a listing of potential contamination sources within the protection zones, and subsequently prepare and implement management plans to provide protection for surface water sources within the watershed protection zones. The following PWSs along the Wasatch Front have formed the Watershed Protection Coalition (Coalition) and have initiated a cooperative project to develop their DWSP Plans for the Provo River Basin Watershed: Central Utah Water Conservancy District Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake & Sandy The mission of the Watershed Protection Coalition is to: Work cooperatively to understand the watershed, identify priorities, and develop and implement long-term strategies to protect the drinking water source(s) from contamination, as a primary safeguard to protect the public health. Support federal, state and local agencies that are empowered with the authority and jurisdiction necessary to protect the watershed(s) and drinking water source(s) through regulations, rules and ordinances. The members of the Coalition, all of whom are active signing and funding members of the Provo River Watershed Council (PRWC), are working together to protect regional surface water resources. By working together in cooperation with other agencies and programs, the Coalition is able to maximize efficiency, and jointly manage potential contamination sources. -

6-Public Comments April May 2020 Re Provo River Trail
Date received Name Representing Comment Additional comment April 28, 2020 Brad Tanner I support the the expansion of the Provo Trail beyond Vivian Park. April 28, 2020 Austin Taylor Transportation Commission Members I am emailing to voice my support for the expansion of the Provo River Trail at $6.1 million. These trying times have shown us how important trails are to the mental and physical health of our communities. The Murdock Canal Trail in Utah County has seen an increase of 80% in ridership compared to this time last year because people need outdoor activity to stay healthy. This expansion will give people an opportunity to explore more of nature and improve their physical and mental health. It may also benefit the economies of the Provo and Heber City areas as people ride bikes between the two areas to shop, dine, and recreate. I do this with my wife on bike tours through Provo Canyon but we are crazy and willing to take a risk riding on the highway. Lastly, this project will enhance safety for cyclists on the route. People are currently biking on the debris-filled shoulders of a 55mph highway with 17,000 trips per day. While some road cyclists choose to take the risks, the vast majority of people who bike avoid it. Expanding the river trail would make riding in this area safer and expand this opportunity to more people. -- Austin Taylor April 28, 2020 Doug Smith Wasatch To Whom It May Concern, County Planning I am writing this e-mail in support of the funding for the Provo Canyon Trail from Vivian Park to the Deer Creek Dam. -
