      As a resident of Salt Lake City, who is downwind of the Snake River 
      Aquifer, I oppose the deal of shipping water 300 miles to Las Vegas. 
      Withdrawing water from this ancient aquifer could have drastic effects on 
      the land above the aquifer, such as drought and dust that would blow 
      towards the Salt Lake Valley. I would like more studies to determine the 
      true impact of pumping the water that addresses the long term impacts on 
      the aquifer as well as the impacts on the Salt Lake valley. In addition, 
      this is just a short term solution to Las Vegas' water needs. Thanks for 
      your time and consideration in this matter. Joseph Bateman 975 E 400 S,
