An Environmental Report has been developed for this proposed project.

Division of Drinking Water staff have reviewed this document. Temporary and long-term environmental impacts were identified, as well as mitigating measures to minimize these impacts. The review process indicated that no significant environmental impacts would result from the proposed action. Consequently, a decision has been made to issue a FONSI.
All contractors will be required to comply with all pertinent federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and executive orders, such as Utah State Air Quality regulations R307-309. If anything is uncovered or otherwise discovered during construction of this project that may have cultural or historic significance, work must stop, and the Division and the State Historic Preservation Officer will be notified. These two agencies will investigate any such discoveries. If it appears that part of the construction work may be causing an adverse environmental impact, construction must stop, and the Division will be notified.
The FONSI will be available for review until October 11, 2026. Any comments received during this comment period will be evaluated and incorporated as appropriate. There will be a public meeting on September 23, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Fremont Rock Church House located at 285 West Main Street, Fremont, Utah, 84747 - to discuss the FONSI and receive additional public comments.
