RE:
City of Mountain Home - Facility Plan - DWG-204-2019-8 (Elmore County)
Technical Approval of the City of Mountain Home Drinking Water Facility plan
Dear Mayor Sykes:
The Department of Environmental euality (DEe) has completed its review of the technical portion of the City
of Mountain Home (city) Drinking water Facility Plan DWG-204-2oLg-g (Facility plan)and has no further
comments' This letter shall be considered approval of the technical portion of the Facility plan. please submit
preliminary engineering reports (PER) to DEQ for review and approval prior to preparing and submitting
detailed plans and specifications for any of the proposed projects in the Facility plan. plans and specifications
cannot be reviewed until a corresponding PER is first approved; furthermore, no construction can begin until
the detailed plans and specifications have been reviewed and approved by DEe except for those projects
subject to review by a eualified Licensed professional Engineer.
The City has chosen to opt out of the requirement to complete an Environmental lnformation Document (ElD)
as part of the Facility Plan. Thus, at this time, the city is not eligible for federal funding through DEQ s state
Revolving Fund (SRF) Program. Please note that if SRF funding will be pursued, an EID must be prepared in
order to qualify for those funds. Generally, SRF loan money can be used to pay for the preparation of an EID as
part of a loan-funded project,
lf you have any questions regarding the technical portion of the Facility Plan, please feel free to contact me at
208-37 3-028 1 or via ema i I at Da n. M.Sm ith @deq. ida ho.gov.
Sincerely,

Staff Engineer
