      Subject: Snake Valley Proposal 





      To whom it may concern:

      The proposal to pump water from the Snake Valley aquifer must be reviewed 
      with the highest levels of skepticism.  This decision will impact 
      generations and may negatively impact a large portion of the state.  The 
      Great Basin is a delicate desert environment.  I find it difficult to 
      believe that Las Vegas can pump significant amounts of water from the 
      aquifer without impacting the environment.  It just doesn't make sense.

      Please reconsider this proposal and do everything to ensure that our 
      precious resources are protected.  Once the pumping starts and Las Vegas 
      becomes dependent on the water, the pumping will never stop!  The west 
      desert will surely dry up and be lost forever.
