5. Non-Action Items
   1. Presentation of Water Quality Study for the Pineview Area
      
      Marvin Zaugg, Ogden City Water Manager, stated that County Planning and Health Department staff, as well as many residents from the Eden, Huntsville and Liberty areas were present. He said that the EPA required all water systems that delivered culinary water to prepare a source protection plan and Ogden City's plan was presented today. Due to the scope of this project, the city hired the engineering firm of Hansen, Allen & Luce Inc. to do the study of the Pineview Reservoir and all watersheds going into it. Mr. Zaugg pointed out that this water protection area had quite an impact on many residents. Ogden City treats water from Pineview as part of their water source to those along the Ogden Canyon and Ogden City. In addition, the city sells water to Bona Vista Water which delivers to other residents within the county.
      
      Marv Allen and Lance Nielson of Hansen Allen & Luce made a presentation delineating the city's responsibilities to comply with the State's drinking water source protection rule, outlining the results of the study's analysis, offering their recommendations to enhance that area as development takes place and how the county and Huntsville Town can help the city. The plan to reduce risk of contamination from at least the three highest ranking risk sources and to control future potential contaminant sources is to be developed in accordance with the city's existing authority and jurisdiction which poses a problem because all of the city's sources lie outside of its jurisdiction. Mr. Nielson reported on the results of the study and presented maps showing the subject area divided into zones and indicating each potential contamination source. Approximately 1300 potential contaminant sources were identified, most of these were residential because each home has an individual septic system. The city was petitioning Weber County and Huntsville to enact the "Drinking Water Source Protection Ordinance" which would require new development, new businesses or new entities moving into the identified zones to implement best management practices or some physical controls to help prevent contamination from occurring.
      
      Mr. Allen and Mr. Nielson addressed the commissioners' questions. Commissioner Burton asked whether the county's current standards had been considered and Mr. Zaugg said that the county's ordinances and requirements would be reviewed and he would then like to meet with county staff. Commissioner Burton indicated that the water quality studies throughout the Ogden Valley had shown no decline in the water quality. He said that this item had been discussed at the State level and there were groups (i.e., agricultural, industry, farming) opposing the drinking water source plan requirements. Mr. Zaugg said he was not aware of this.
