Is the “San Miguel Ranch” groundwater superior in quality compared to San Miguel groundwater?
SMART has reviewed numerous groundwater documents, studies and lab testing reports. From all of the available information, SMART found no conclusive evidence that supports the developer’s conclusion that his groundwater is superior in quality. In fact, the available documentation suggests that the groundwater is more likely to be recharged from the same groundwater basin shared by the town of San Miguel with similar quality characteristics. SMART has compiled a timeline of each well testing event and corresponding reports and laboratory analysis that has been presented to the County, demonstrating faulty assumptions and inconclusive evidence concerning “San Miguel Ranch” groundwater quality.
